The shere catalogue of Fozzies achievements has been so spectacular.Guy Smiley wrote: Thu Sep 22, 2022 10:33 pm I’ve changed my thinking.
Wallabies will break the Eden Park hoodoo this week. Anything different would go right against the grain of Fozzie’s groundbreaking record.

Why... it's like watching that scene from Indiana Jones where Indiana is pursued by a giant rolling rock.Ymx wrote: Fri Sep 23, 2022 6:13 amThe shere catalogue of Fozzies achievements has been so spectacular.Guy Smiley wrote: Thu Sep 22, 2022 10:33 pm I’ve changed my thinking.

I don't really get all the NZ media indignation over Tuivasa-Sheck not starting. Sure, he's the last uninjured 'specialist' midfielder in the squad, but to me he doesn't look anywhere near ready to start an important test at 12. And yes, he was a brilliant league player, but never in the midfield. Hope he proves me wrong.

Guys at work are the same... there's a bland assumption that he'll slot straight in. The complexities of the midfield? pffft... he played Union as a junior bro.Gumboot wrote: Fri Sep 23, 2022 6:28 am I don't really get all the NZ media indignation over Tuivasa-Sheck not starting.

It's just dumb.
We are vulnerable in the midfield this weekend. Very.
Especially on defense. The thought of JB and Rieko organising the defensive screen fills me with dreat.Guy Smiley wrote: Fri Sep 23, 2022 6:30 amGuys at work are the same... there's a bland assumption that he'll slot straight in.

Yup…Gumboot wrote: Fri Sep 23, 2022 6:59 am And the wings haven't exactly been defending well... this could be a bloodbath.![]()
should have left Beaudene on the bench, put Jordan at FB and brought Reece in. Then there’s the whole Caleb Clarke issue that needs resolving. Who gets his spot?

It's difficult for Saffers to support the Wallabies. 

It's difficult for Kiwis, too.

It's Heritage Day (Braai) in the Republic. My dress code is Paul Roos Bok jersey. Lots of rugby. Mooloos spoiled it.

Andrew Brace is a good ref. Thought it would be the French ref.

Was that the Boomerang or Flying Vee Haka response?
Good luck AB supporters! Hope you lose or win by a very small margin. If we weren't in the hunt for the trophy I'd be supporting the Blackness. Purely because the Wobs have displayed a bit of shithousery this year.

Lucky to get a yellow. Australia continue to be ill-disciplined.

Wobs showing plenty of fight. But often the pattern of Bled games in NZ is that they are competitive in the first half and then get blown away in the second.
