What a way to finish the group stages. Will be glued to my seat. I'll be honest in saying I'd much rather prefer Japan or Scotland in the QF's, but if we get Ireland I'm happy too, we need revenge for that **** poor showing we produced end of last year, no better place to do it than the RWC.

Just don't tell Keith Quinn it was like a rugby league try :confused:

Haha! Whoops, watching too much soccer lately.

You already posted that in the Namibian thread, got anything else to add? Strongest XI expected - Retallick to get maybe just 40 minutes again, they might try push it out to 50/55. I just want to see the pod system in use again and gelling more. Don't care how many points we put on them...

Did Read shag your Mrs or something? o_O They were not yellow card offenses. The rules are broken.

Jordie Barrett or Bender MotM for me. Thought Cane had a game to forget.

Always folks from other nations in our threads annoying people and saying snid remarks, surely you can handle a little justified "arrogance" in return? Doesn't look like it tbh!!!

I'm not speaking for Hansen, I'm nearly quoting. He has expressed this fact in numerous interviews, in 2015 and 2019, that he views these games as a way of working on different parts of the All Blacks game, rather than focusing on putting a huge score on them. Take that however you want...

Great try that, what a thing of beauty

Here we go - another victim! https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/international/all-blacks-play-with-14-men-with-eye-on-world-cup-1.4011306

That's easily try of the tournament so far - wow!!

The knock out stages are going to be ruined by controversy, can see it already.

These rules are awful and are going to ruin the world cup. Another falling player into an arm and another stupid yellow card.

Not at all, but it genuinely is amusing. For example, I'm completely aware of Jones approach to England's minnow games. A tactic I think he picked up from Hansen in 2015.

It's funny reading posters from other nations sniffing around for some hopes of a poor All Black's performances to boost their morale, only for it to be put back into place when we decide to put the foot down. Not sure how many times Hansen needs to repeat himself about how the All Blacks...

All Blacks clearly aren't putting the foot on the gas. Trying pressure situations etc like the previous world cup. As Hansens said multiple times, you learn nothing or don't gain anything from putting 100 on these teams.

Of course you would you fanny. It was barely a cardable offense, the Namibian player literally fell over into the tackler. Nothing else Laulala could do.

Well the only way du Toit was ever going to be onside from that interception was if ALB was not held, which he was. du Toit undeniably offside.

Look I'm in the same boat, I really enjoyed the game and didn't have many problems with it until I discovered this forum and started seeing social media posts with salty responses. You feel obliged to point out the other teams discretions (South Africa, and there were many) when all you're...

Disappointing response. The situation you're referring to is if the ALB ruck hadn't formed, du Toit would've been onside.
