The two young props on the bench. Buckle up fellas.
Well, someone's rolled the dice, haven't they?

Retallick plays 80, and Scott Barrett shifts to six?

Whitelock to replace Frizzel
Papali’i to replace Cane -
@Victor-Meldrew definitely taking a big risk. Disappointed with no Taukei'aho.

Never predicted that, but it's great. But no Ian, that doesn't mean you can select the worst halfback I can recall in fucking years.
Makes me wonder if Telea is available for selection.
-
I’m surprised Lualala didn’t get on the bench before Fletcher.
Very good side. No Roigard is a WTF moment but Leicester is a good replacement for Talea.

Think he has been really average this year tbh. Second season syndrome. Roigard though is really disappointing. Think LF will be targeted with the kicks. But he could be a real threat close to the line.

Ryan's clearly happy with that or thinks Ofa/Lualala aren't up to it. Is he injured?
Whole thing's a strange mix of caution and risk.

Taukei'aho
Can understand Taukei'aho. Not Roigard. If you're taking a risk in the front row, why not a smaller risk at 9?
-
I've got a bad feeling Leicester's lack of pace is going to be seriously exploited but I prefer him there to Clarke.
-
Do we know Telea is injured? I now wouldn't be surprised if he isn't.
-
I’m actually impressed that a lot of the leaked teams were pretty much spot on.
Christy over Roigard is insane. Roigard is a match winner, Christie is just a placeholder.
Taking Clark was pointless, but we all knew that. -

Pretty hard to be anything more than average when you're the kind of player that gets better with consistent game time and all you get is a few minutes here and there. Must be really on the nose when you get ignored last year so that a player can take 5 games to get from shithouse to average.

The only good news is that Irish bench is no bomb squad. Will need heavier artillery in final.

That's generous. Use him as a placeholder and you'll come back to find a newspaper wrapped turd on fire in your place.
-
Why no Talea?
Roigard is way better than Christie FFS !!
Apart from that all good !!
-
Telea not picked because he breached team protocol 🙈

Fuck off. You're trying to make Foster look more like a fool?
Breaking protocol is fucking off overseas straight after you make the ABs.

Jane and Dagg breached team protocol in 2011 before the QF - got the stern word and went out and played blinders in the QF.....
-
Fozzie gonna Foz 😂

@stodders said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
@Bones been confirmed
Thanks but I'm not liking that post. Hurry up and fuck off Ian
-
@KiwiMurph Obviously Henry understood that shooting yourself in the foot would do nothing for overall team morale.
Wonder if Telea stole one of Foster’s doughnuts 😂

In final? This could very well be our final

This post is deleted!

I was expecting this place to blow up over Christie. With the Telea news now confirmed, I think we may see mushroom clouds 🙈
-
Well if we win the WC it won’t be down to Fozzie. What a moron picking Christie over Roigard.
-
He's almost as good a pisstaker as Eddie, is our Ian.
Rubbing his hands in glee at the irony of selecting a guy who signed overseas a season after he selected him for the ABs, over a guy who was a bit late in.
-
Oh fuck your Foster. Seriously fuck you.
Roigard shits over Christie, everybody knows it.
You fucking arrogant Twat. So glad your gone on Sunday.
-
Please explain the Telea situation
Thanks
-
-
sudden death matches with the enemy at the gates are not the moment to enforce protocol - absolute madness
-
Jovial…like Father Christmas maybe. Ho Ho ho
-
Christie in for his defence. I guess he’s expecting they won’t be chasing the game when he comes on. A tad optimistic maybe.
-
Schmidt must have had an input into the 9. He coached Christie with the Blues, so maybe he swayed Foster 😬
Or maybe Schmidt found out this Irish team are allergic to redheads as he went through his intense analysis
