<t>is that definitely the starting line up because its a 19 man squad? at least he has 2 hookers in there so we can keep at them round the ruck all game this time. If this is a fair representation of final squad for sat then hock is just down as cover at the mo really as he is not in 1-17. I'm not s...

the game plan did start to considerably unwravel when higham had a breather. i hope that has made smith realise we need higham and roby to play next week!

all this talk about new props but from watching the world cup what has o'carroll done wrong? been as consistent as any. why don't we stop going on about what foreigners to bring in or what other players we could bring in and give our own two more game time?

yeah i get that same message everytime i mark all topics read when viewing active posts

<t>Does anyone else think Pat's kicking ahs been a bit ropey in the world cup? even at the back end of the season he wasn't as automatic as we had become used to. It looks like he is trying to hit the ball too hard with some of his efforts for Ireland.<br/> <br/> Certainly happy that we have a few m...

looks like smith has decided on his 17 and thats that injuries aside.

should've put JJ-B in for wilkin as his defensive qualities are far superior in my opinion and we will need a better defence against the aussies, particularly down our left where senior was woeful on saturday

<t>i thought benji marshall played worse that tommy, maybe its a bit of bias in that but marshall went on poor solo runs, rarely made space and went missed when pressure kicks were required, making tommy's kicking game look especially poor. <br/> <br/> And if NZ's back rowers had made any attempt to...

<t>the blue adidas one that looks like the first image is one of my favourite shirts, still wear it all the time. Also the red patrick one of 2004 that is very similar to those 80s ones is my favourite home shirt for years so i'm happy with these possible designs.<br/> <br/> Anyone considered the id...

<t>Senior was very poor, he better improve next week, which i'm sure he will as he is a big game player. What was the point of fa'asavalu though? he had no impact and is looking smaller every time i see him. We looked like we had 1 prop and a big bunch of second rowers. Maybe when we are the underdo...
