RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks

[sparky]

I’m glad we’ve not copied the Boks crazy 7-1 idea.

[African Monkey]

Where the fuck is Cam Roigard?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Is that still a thing?

[sparky]

@Tim Same starting XV, but Tupou Vaai, Braydon Ennor and Caleb Clarke were on the bench rather than Sam Whitelock, DMac and ALB.

[BerniesCorner]

Come on Foz you got this

[Smuts]

That’s a bloody good team. Can’t wait.

[pakman]

Sir Ian Foster, IRB Coach of the year?

[ACT Crusader]

@African-Monkey Frizell? Why do they keep picking him? Ioane isn’t a centre. Beaudie is past it. Our old locks aren’t up to it. Why is Codie starting and not Sami?

😎

@Smuts Boks have many eggs in Pollard basket.

Feel for Newell but it’s probably a sensible decision.

Williams sure has had a meteoric rise. He will be finishing off the biggest game and yet he’s still a 23yo pup.

Boks starting with plan B with plan A sitting in the stands?

Running rugby versus anti-rugby in a true good versus evil showdown. Or am I just over dramatising this because of how slow the week is going?

Nah, it’s men in shorts, but I think most of the neutrals in the stands or watching on TV will be supporting the Men In Black for the evening.

Not at all. It’s sensible for you to embrace your villlainy.

Aah yes, the French. A nation renowned for collaborating with the right moral side.

One of my favourite ever ABs. A great gentleman of the front row who always gave 100%. A fantastic servant of Wellington, Hurricanes and New Zealand Rugby.

Thank you Colesy and have an amazing retirement.

[sparky]

What a player!

[sparky]

According to Faf, Kwagga Smith is covering Half Back for the Boks so there’s some confusion there.

Is Stephen Donald in France at the moment ?

You must have me on mute. Don’t blame you.

I’d never do that.

Sounds like I’ve missed a good Donald yarn though. Do tell !

Happy they went with Nepo. Need him at scrum time against Ox. Hopefully he has learnt how to catch the ball over the last few days.
