RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

This thread is really confusing. Apparently, there is an Auckland School called Grammer. Apparently Blackadder can spend 2 years out of the ABs with injury, nurse himself back to health, abstain from booze, and get kicked out of the QF for returning late one night: one giant teetotalling, injury replacement foodbill. And to cap it off, he was selected for his dedication and tireless workrate. What a jagged little pill to swallow!
I guess he just didn’t fit in with the rest of the alcoholics in the squad. They frowned when he said no to bourbon on his cornflakes each morning

Who the hell calls it ‘grog’ in this day and age ?
I don't know anyone who calls it that, so it must be fun sober people.

Obviously the drinking part is all speculation, these guys coulda been to a movie, dinner, top golf etc and just been late to breach the rules.

Think you’re being generous mate. Surely if you go for dinner and you’re going to be 30mins late cos you can’t get an Uber, you flick a quick text to Foz and you’re still in the selection fold?
Either they were really late, out of contact, or on the booze I reckon
Or, maybe Foz was always going to play LF for this game and the curfew is a ruse. Maybe Foz even had LF get skinned by that Uruguayan just to mess with the Irish heads, the same way he’s been playing Roigard lately.
So much powder

So hang on, in order to beat the Irish this weekend do the ABs need to drink more or less ?
YesYour assuming grog was involved
So @Machpants' and @MN5's assumptious grog was involved? Stop it, you two!
No Hawkes players, right? So just booze

We have to win the cup before BBBR breaks it.

I believe there was a text between Mark and Foz

@Crazy-Horse I rated him big time, even the year before, but he needed to sort out his throwing, which he did brilliantly last year and got selected, only to be ignored.

@Kiwiwomble said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
Re ST....is there anyone that has lifted their game under fozzie?....is there anyone that plays better for the AB's than in super anymore? feel like at most there are a few that play as well but several that seem to go down hill in the black jersey
This year - Frizzel.

@nostrildamus said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
forgive my studied ignorance but is it allowable to send the ABs out on the field but swap Rieko and Leicester? That would mess with Irish plans!
Hah fuck imagine the howls from those that said Rieko isn't a centres arsehole because he has no vision and doesn't/can't pass, when they're confronted with someone who just passes to random places on the field.

@Machpants said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
In addition the leadership group make these calls, not Foster
I call bullshit. Why do you say this? Because that's what they did over a decade ago or you actually know somehow?
How retarded would a coach have to be to let the "senior leadership" to select the team for the biggest game of his career.
Oh yeah, maybe you're right.

TBH, as stupid was that is, it won't be with winning or losing of the game
On a roll fella, bull puckey again! Smith goes down before 50 minutes and we're absolutely rotisseried. We'd at least have a chance if Roigard was there to take over.

Well that is true, but if he doesn't go down (which is much much more likely) then it won't matter that much. Unless it does cos we are close and no way is ginger going to help

Saw the team named earlier, so grabbed some popcorn and settled into some Ferning this evening. It hasn't disappointed so far. Fucking hell that's some build up to the quarter.
Also, fucking Christie? What the fuck? Make me look like an idiot praising you for the introduction of Roigard (which has been good TBF), but to go back to Christie at the last minute? That makes absolutely zero sense.
Oh, and boy will the Irish be pleased to see LF on the wing again. They had some fun with him last time.
Yeah, go the fucking ABs, but fuck me we are not helping ourselves with sections like this.

Always a fun part of the day when @Bones wakes up and throws out a flurry of posts from the shitter before he’s had his first coffee
Who shits before coffee? Posh fluffybunny.
Before and after, it’s all about escaping the kids
