    Richie Mo'unga. Great in Super Rugby, but not a Test Match Animal.
    Sevu Reece. Too small for RWC.

    Lol. So drop Richie for who? I'm no fan but we've got no one to replace him. Beaudy had gone backwards, so gotta be jordie then - at least he has RWC ten experience 🙄

    Reece too small? World's best winger last year Cheslin says hi.

    Yes but Cheslin is a freak!

    teams who've analysed his play at 12 first

    knowing something is coming and doing something about it are two very different things. Big body running straight is a key rugby requirement at the top level. Then if they doubleteam/stack a defence, space is created elsewhere.

    Bring it on, JB at 12, Hayman at 8, 2023 is ours

    Dagg to 10 and Messam to centre. Mealamu to openside

    *Messum

    5- Jordie
    6- Lomu
    7- Mealamu
    8- Hayman
    9- Cruden
    10- Dagg

    12- Ardie
    13- Messam

    DMac as reserve halfback?

    I was going to put Ben Blair as halfback, but didn’t want to trigger some of the haters in here

    “Campo had scored a couple of tries in the first half and we felt we had the measure of Ireland,” said Lynagh. “Mistake. Gordon Hamilton’s try turned the match on its head, a sympathetic bounce of the ball, a slip by Campo and away he went. Ireland were in front and Lansdowne Road was bouncing.

    “I’d taken over the captaincy as Nick (Farr-Jones) had gone off injured. I knew I had to come up with something precise and factual. I was determined not to resort to the cliche of, ‘don’t panic, don’t worry’. There were no clocks at the ground so I asked referee Jim Fleming how long there was to go. Four minutes, came the reply. So, that’s what I said to the boys. I stuck to the facts. ‘Four minutes, still time, we’ll kick long from the restart, press, they’ll kick out and we’ll strike from the lineout’. In fact, Nick told me only the other week that he’d have kicked short to contest the ball if he had still be on the field and captain. So, there we are – what might have been.”

    What was is that Ireland scrum-half Rob Saunders sliced his clearance, Australia had a lineout around the 22-metre line, David Campese took it up and was on hand later in the sequence but was tackled. Lynagh’s role had been to track play. He swooped and dived over the line.

    “There was a deathly silence and I wondered what had happened, maybe that play had been called back and I hadn’t scored,” said Lynagh.

    24-10. Head says Boks. Heart says oh the pain. Edit ok I just read "Belief and confidence remain high in our group, which is working incredibly hard this week," said Foster.

    Well that changes everything. 29-24 All Blacks.

    Only the bold predict a score incorrectly for a game played 5 days ago.

    Note to self: next time building a time machine remember the reading glasses.

    You could always pop over to the match thread and predict the team?

    What, put the right post in the correct thread? Outrageous!
    And even thinking about the final score a second time gives me palpitations.
    If I'm watching the second test, I'm drinking.

    Wasn't there a recent article where he admitted his attitude in his earlier years impacted his AB selection? He's a shadow of himself at the moment and having him and Coles in the same is dumb af.

    Disagree with the last part. The RWC showed what these guys are actually capable of.

    Counterpoint: who in that squad didn't play better than they had in the 4 year cycle?

    Shannon and Sam C have played better.

    Which Sam Cane performance was better than his Ireland game?

    I thought he was meaning the final only. My bad if entire RWC.

    The playing too wide off the ruck and getting always hit behind the advantage line has already been covered in detail here,but it just seems to me the forwards weren't fully recovered from the previous week and weren't recovered mentally and physically for the onslaught. With the benefit of hindsight,the game was won by halftime against Ireland,perhaps even earlier subs in that game would of kept a bit of energy in the tank for the next bigger challenge. Some of our forwards aren't young bucks and gave a flat performance.

    Eddie had us sussed.

    Also not sure about his eligibility until the WR protocols are all met and contracts finalised etc.

    Similar to Sefa Naivalu from the Rebels - not eligible until after the Pumas game in Perth.

    The minute drill. <br />
    <br />
    3 sets of two people with hip pads spaced about 5 metres apart side ways, each pair is labelled A, B, C. There is a cone 5 m in front of each pair. <br />
    <br />
    Each working group is made up of 4 players plus a half back who each of the 4 start on their chests on the ground behind A's cone. Blow the whistle and the half back passes the ball to 1 player who hits it up, 2 blow over and secures the ball and the fourth helps if needed but is the next runner.<br />
    <br />
    The drill as the title suggests goes for a minute. it is run by the half back who decides which order of A, B, C the group goes in. Every one of the working 4 has to go around the cone set 5 m in front of the pads, and the pads are to reset each time. Pads can not grab the ball but they are to make it as difficult as possible for the 4 to secure it.<br />
    <br />
    I can attest that a minute in this drill feels like a very, very long time

    so there were TONs at the gym on Friday, but managed to whack through a good chest workout despite the million at the gym. Yesterday was shoulders, and today another leg day - good day too, again, as I am not meant to be wokring out legs, i just used Ness's weights and doubled the reps. so super sets of 40 squats followed by 12 heavy leg extensions followed by 30 lighter extensions. Not feeling too bad right now, but expecting the worst...!!! Also 3 sets of 40 smith rack lunges, and stiff legged deadlifts thrown in there for shits 'n' giggles. We were out of the gym at 9, just when it was opening, and wow, people were flooding in! Good to have a set of keys!
