Friz, Paps, Ardie
I think that’s what they’ll pick. Finish the game with Cane subbing on for Papali’i & Barrett at 6
I actually this has enormous merit. Bringing the super experienced Sam's on to finish when the whips are cracking.
But I think Cane will start, and I hope that means Paps comes on absolutely fizzing
We simply cannot let them continue to recycle phase after phase no matter who is selected

I mean, we could lose. Another Foster first.
First QF exit? I thought we did that in 2007?
And here I was thinking Ireland had never won a quarter. Learn something every day.

We could be the first team to lose to Ireland in a RWC knockout match, for sure

If we are nervous we are screwed.
Calm, direct and conservative.
Don't get suckered into high risk passing. -
@Bones said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
Up the guts, earn the right to go wide. Kick intelligently, chase with purpose. Kick your goals. Minimise mistakes. Strong set piece. Play with 15 players. Eat weetbix for breakfast. Make your tackles. Soak up dad's tears.
See, is that really so complicated? Get Foster on the hotline!

Fail and the fucker will face a tsunami of shit.
That he hasn't already?
Nah he's got nothing to lose.
I get the feeling a lot more of the media will join the pile on this time. You’re right though, nothing he hasn’t faced already just he will get more of it.

@bayimports whatever they did before Ellis Park 2022…do it again.

@mariner4life had to have a giggle at Keith setting out the stall for the next 20 odd years of Nisbo. Geogahan and Wilson the two lookalikes.

One of the hallmarks of the Foster era is the inconsistency. If we simply didn't have the cattle and were clearly just not good enough I could begrudgingly accept that. But we show glimpses of how good we can be, which is infuriating

Move on this week. No looking back. Come on Sir Foz

Not going to happen, same way they aren't dropping beaudy for DMac

Stuff the odds - one off game - let's go Black.
Foster's back is against the wall, along with many of the senior players. It's win or the end of some AB careers. I just hope we play with a huge level of desperation

There’s my man!

ABs to replicate Ireland's last loss and smack them by 15+

Right. Everyone has their opinions on coaches and players. But the time for that has passed. This week is all support. Shove the negativity. Come fozzie, Sam and the lads!!
100% the above. These are World Cup knockouts. The ABs and their coaches deserve our total support for this next bit.
Go Fozzie! Go Sam! Go the Men in Black!
This is the time to build up further the glorious legacy.
