The Silver Fern

The pitch is a disgrace, coming apart when someone has a run.

Nice one ETNZ!

My fault that one, first race I watched live. I’ll go to sleep now.

I actually think we have done pretty well with those appointments, aside from the France Test (who is a good ref anyway) all regular Super rugby refs we are used to.

No Samisoni Taukei'aho for this tour.

Bummer

@george33 so he has joined the squad confirmed

The better news is that Wayne Smith has joined the camp in Wellington.

Have heard unconfirmed rumours on Love Rieko DMac and Hotham this week (2 with injuries) . But the silence from official sources is deafening.
NRL is superior in generating interest in so many ways. AB fans are just left with speculation to chew on.

So aside from Love, what is the other injury/rumour?

If the other injury is DMac, then I'm worried their solution would be Beaudy at 10 and Jordan at 15.

Same.

id say we will probably come out and pump the Wallabies and look ok doing it and not get really tested until the NH games, so we are probably not going to find out too much

Even after they got fucking humped, I still have some trepidations that we're entirely capable of playing down to their level and making it a cripple fight.

100%

Very disapointing.

@Chris said in All Blacks 2024:

All the talk of Roigard I just hope he comes back well from that nasty injury, some players never come back the same they lose pace and flexibility from that injury or take a long time to reach their pre injury form.

He has a channel on Insta that he is posting his rehab and recovery on, posts updates every couple of days, looking good!

Some good stuff in here but I wish they'd cut out the corporate management speak

Synergies
Engagement

I tell you what, once we put all this stuff we have learnt over the last few years into practice we are going to be unstoppable !

There are a ton load of South African fans here!

Less than 500 tickets left apparently, arvo footy, how good!

How good!

No, but available to stream on the RugbyPass website

Brisbane Ferners

Which are the rugby pubs these days? Normanby?

Regatta is generally a safe bet, their website indicates that are showing it, whether the sound will be on is another story…

Main Bar | Regatta Hotel

Will need to see one in real life but looks ok. I’m not sure anything will beat the 2015 kit though. Everyone one in black boots, silver/light grey logos/detail, looked awesome!
