Why you should never bet against the All Blacks – even facing this Ireland

Never bet against the All Blacks – why analyst Sean Holley is tipping New Zealand to win the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France

A good pre game read for nervous AB fans

No but I imagine it looks epic.

I have always said that I want to be in England when the win the football World Cup as it would be an amazing 3 day party.

If Ireland win the RWC, then it would easily surpass the England party by some distance😂

@Victor-Meldrew I've spent many an evening in St Peter's London pub.

They do bloody good beer kits as well. Second ferment in a 5L keg, into a chiller/dispenser and Bob's your uncle.

@Bones Bomb threats.

So Fozzie does have a plan after all?

If the game is cancelled, is the result decided on a coin toss?

@Victor-Meldrew The first one. Viking Tribe all the way

Never had it. Try a new Whisky every Christmas and this is the one. Might not open it,

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?

I believe there was a text between Mark and Foz

Fucking Brilliant LOL

Prediction. We win.
Ardie Savea and Richie Mounga to star.

[The Irishman]

OK, time to put the phone down and enjoy(shit) the build up. May the best team on the night win, no cards to spoil the game and Barnes lets the game flow. Too tight to call for me. If the AB's from the SA Christchurch game turn up, I think we're fucked. Fatigue is the big concern for me in the last 20min and impact from the bench.

@allblackfan2

2 right. Biggest game in 4 years. If we do this we can go all the way.

[bayimports]

Apparently not only dewey but a bit of precipitation around

[stodders]

I love that Brian O’Driscoll just did the analysis on the Irish attack showing the first try against Scotland and didn’t mention the obstruction and impeding of the Scottish hooker to create the half gap Ringrose went through 😂

[BerniesCorner]

Come on Foz

[sparky]

Prediction: BBBR and Frizell to star.

[Bovidae]

Time for Rieko to have a big game.

I think he's a fluffybunny.

Feel strangely calm compared to previous world cups ,

Maybe the expectation is less than normal ,

although I’m only a fan, the underdog thing certainly feels like a release on the pressure valve in comparison to being red hot favourites.

[Bones]

See ya on the other side gents. I'm immersing in the game. 4 years of dry powder, kaboom.

Redemption

@Victor-Meldrew have some respect for the dead please.
