Don't run shite ball, it doesn't work
This is the key. It's that simple.

Carley, wasn't he the ref that whistled us off the park vs the Boks? Touching in the lineout etc
Lets hope we have learnt and can adapt to his pedantic calls, or this will be a very stop start game.
You would think it would be someone's job to analyze the ref so we don't make the same stupid mistakes.Luckily for me I have the only British pub in CO just a min away, so can have a few lunch beers and watch the game.

Looks like RMo will start..

Famous Three Kings West Kensington hoping ref will be alright

Sitting in a pub in Paris hoping they show the game and that I'll last until at least kickoff time with my god-awful French not leading to me being kicked out.
Tip No.3 for non-French speakers in France: If they can't understand your English it's because you aren't speaking loud enough.

Disciplined tight performance please - preferably one that takes the officials (and Italy) out of the game...
-
@Mattasaurus yeah I think discipline is a massive thing for us, sort that and it will flow into the rest of our game, too loose there, means everything else is off.

Particularly with Matthew Carly on the whistle..... anything short of good discipline will be incredibly costly.

@Mattasaurus its a shame really, he is a talking point before the game, lets hope he isnt still after

Confirmed. No late changes to team!

surely Ardie has to be more than 95kg?

As a South African I was reminded this week of 2019 when the Springboks lost to the All Blacks in the opening game and then beat Namibia 57-3 in their 2nd game. Their next game was against Italy and the whole week there was this hype around the much improved Italian team and how the game against Namibia meant nothing and how Boks weren't clicking, etc., and we all had this nervous tension about losing against Italy (AGAIN!)... final score was 49-3 for the Boks.
Here's hoping we see the same tonight from the All Blacks!

Must be, with his height that would make his BMI less than 20!
