What the fuck do the groundstaff after a match like that? Rip it all up and re-sow?
Owen Stewart
I don't know what went on in the NZRU conference room, but something quite monumentous must have happened to have kept Henry his job. I remember the furor across the NZ media calling for heads to roll. Their persistence with Henry paid off though
Ayden Edwards
World Rugby livestreams them on their youtube channel
Xavier Lee
Henry already had a plan, Deans didn't. This is a good doco covering that era youtu.be/5fxIYBTt454
Brandon Allen
The narrative at the time was "we aren't winning with our current process, which is to get a new coach every 4 years, so maybe this time we won't give him the sack and see if anything changes."
Brody Brown

Asher Hall
ngubu is a meme name used for african players who play in European soccer teams who get rated because they're fast
Leo Gray
Describe it more accurately with 2 words
Charles Ramirez

Asher Thomas

Carson Allen

Camden Williams
I just don't know it Don't take notice in stuff like that
Elijah Stewart
Not anyone that's talked about that meme in this thread but I had no clue. This is pretty much the only thread I post in though. So I can imagine others here are in a similar situation lad.
Owen Scott

Andrew Hall

Dylan Mitchell
delving deeper into the tree mate I'll get back to you
Nolan Hernandez
kwagga smith only 80kg? Does that mean I can play for the boks
Parker Mitchell
he possibly helped Ben Smith murder that girl in 2015
Sebastian Moore
The way he talks to the kid just isn't quite right
Thomas Kelly

Adrian Garcia

Jaxson Taylor
what's the new name for westpac stadium again?
Joseph Flores
it's hard to say. he visited my school a few years back and I asked if I could get a picture with him. he was cool about it, but after the picture was taken he pulled out a disposable camera so he could "have his own picture of us". I was a little bit surprised but went along with it. once it was done he reached into his bag and pulled out some scissors and went to cut off a bit of my hair. I pulled back and asked him what he was doing, he just said "For scrapbook. Stick it on pic." and grinned at me. I was silent for awhile trying to process what he just said and the whole time he kept that grin and kept snipping the scissors. he got impatient and repeated those exact words again, his expression and voice suddenly becoming agitated and serious, so I let him do it.
Jaxon Ramirez
intriguing...keep me updated 'uso'.
Jordan Wright
just did a practice haka lads BLEH
Robert Torres

Carson Jenkins
all blacks are mentally cooked here
world cup off the cards
Jaxson Turner
he has too many people to heem and red cards to collect to die
Isaac Reed
Didn't he convert another AB after Christchurch?
Cooper Robinson
I think there was a "study" (some journalists did a look) regarding each teams performance in the first 10 after the haka and NZ statistically was worse than the opposition. It gets them too hyped up and they make silly mistakes more consistently than their opposition after the haka
Ethan James
More like Richie No'unga and Jack Badhew
Austin Barnes
Christcharged's Brave Mo'unga.
Ryan Flores
welcome to another episode of "mounga has his kick charged"
Jackson Perez
we should actually make one for the RWC
John Robinson
Are South Africa and Argentina the only teams not filled with foreigners?
Brody Morris
fair to say the experiment has failed
Nicholas Powell

Bullshit if the TMO doesn't look at that tackle on SBW.

Isaiah Morris
Trying to figure out when Read will snap and start killing players
Kevin Ward
lol mo'unga at 10 is spaghetti city
Chase Hall
Statistically he is worse than BB, why is anyone surprised he isn't as good?
Parker Scott
Just rewound to the tip tackle, any All Black would have been in the bin for that.
All the good ABs are old as fuck All the young ones are shit
Jaxon Brooks
tell me about BB why does he miss the kick
Grayson Hill
Every single song that I've heard of that cunt is absolute shit
Robert Nelson
yes
Nolan Miller
Jordie is as much of a liability now as McKenzie was before he got fucked up.
Easton Stewart
No (think about quick throws), but they are the only one that trains to do it. It needs to be a forward as your backs are attacking / defending. Your loosies and locks are your jumpers / lifters
Michael Stewart
WHY EVEN BOTHER HAVING MOUNGA
LITERALLY WORTHLESS
Logan Ross
I have memories of Conrad Smith tackling a Wallaby in the air and only getting penalised.
Tyler Martinez
smith needs to be fullback barrett needs to be 10
Alexander Cook
No. The winger used to do it and we have our prop do it sometimes
Kevin Kelly
he is shit it's just funny to remind people he existed
Jace Russell
he’s playing 5d chess
Jacob Cox
Reminder that AllBlacks lost Rugby Championship in 2011 and 2015 and then peaked their form in RWC.
Logan Hill
MISS
Logan Ortiz
because we're supposed to lose this game, all part of the master plan
Asher Cox
Marx is so shite at throwing we may as well teach him to lift and get a flanker to throw
Easton Cook
The not world cup winning 15,994 points scoring All Blacks.
Isaiah Parker
if a lineout is actually set up then yes because they train to do it if it’s a quick lineout then no
Carter Phillips
All Blacks More like All Samoans
James Edwards

Mounga wont even get selected for the WC at this rate
Nicholas Hughes
I would've used khokholski if I was just using translate
Joseph Perez
Most have any words involving that filtered lad, it's just not worth wasting the brain cells on the type of people who have a strong opinion about that
Ayden Rodriguez
grim stuff
Michael Morales
It's 8am on a saturday, fuck off ye cunt.
Evan Robinson
Wait till NZ loses this the vultures circling
Jason Taylor
What's worse >Forwards who wear colorful boots >Backs who wear scrum caps
Christian Nguyen
just the characteristic shit performance before the world cup to throw everyone off lads haha
Owen Watson
*turns on fan and blows you back out of the thread*
Ryder Carter
Blow ins: The Nation.
Jaxon Lewis
miss jimmy cowan lads
Thomas Peterson
Rugby gloves.
I used to think I was so cool wearing them.
Wyatt Fisher
Colourful boots in general
Wyatt Barnes
The ABs has been making a lot of these unforced handling errors in their past few tests stretching tonlast year and they really need to sort it out before the RWC. They're just making jobs harder for themselves.
Caleb Ross
It's been ALL Springboks and they've only got 6 points. take heart, we've got this
Liam Kelly
You're a dumb cunt. McKenzie isn't a liability now because he is injured. Jordie Barrett is a liability because he is in the team.
Liam Anderson
yeah grip gloves are hand fedoras
Jason Nguyen
I've thought long and hard about this lads: this performance atm is not based
Alexander Harris
it's pretty sketchy
Nicholas Hall
All Blacks looking mentally cooked here
Brayden Perry
RSA world champions put the house on it
Connor Foster
Fucking hell what happened to those, loads of pros were wearing them back in the day
Andrew Moore
controversial take, but the data suggests you're right
Nathaniel Lopez
The All Black defence has been staunch at least, but their attack just hasn't been flowing which is uncharacteristic of them
Mason Watson
inshalla
Eli Wilson
The try saving knock on
Robert Edwards
>Mo'unga
Caleb Rogers
REID BTFO
Jaxon Flores
reado my boy
Brayden Sullivan
Why is Chris Eubank on the Spingboks bench?
Michael Evans
>taking the pee >missing it
Ryan Taylor
nz won't even make the final at this rate lol
Wyatt Bell
Shaun Edwards/Andy Farrell defence is their kryptonite. They can't cope when they can't dominate collisions
Christopher Gutierrez
we will come second in the pool then bow out to japan in the quarters
Jonathan Richardson
brave yet grim prediction
Tyler Edwards
getting pressured into errors lads
Kevin Gomez
>Jordie is as much of a liability as SapKenzie Literally you >no he could make defensive tackles unlike sap making him less of a liability Me >REEEE NO MACKENZIE ISNT PLAYING HES INJURED You again and what does that have to do with how Jordie makes important tackles that Mackenzie wouldn't and doesn't make? You fucking dumb cunt that cant hold a conversation
>All Blacks 2nd game of the year >Haven't even played a full strength team >Everyone already counting them out
We start like this every year.
Christian Cruz
hello friends and kiwis
Robert Torres
Hello my bru
Benjamin Reyes
Move Baz back to 10 Move Smizz back to 15 Drop SBW for ALB or that fat cunt
Aaron Sullivan
please be my friend :3
Anthony Edwards
Are you fucked in the head? I was literally saying McKenzie IS a liability. I hate the little cunt. You dense piece of shit. Fuck Jordie "The Hills Have Eyes" Barrett. He literally lost us a game last year.
Benjamin Thompson
Based Kwagga going for the strip every time
Sebastian Phillips
seethin
Gabriel Nelson
getting btfo lads
Brayden Gray
Drop SBW altogether. Have Laumape start and ALB on the bench
THIS IS WHY YOUR FUCKING SHIT CANTERPOO 10S SHOULD STAY IN THEIR QUAKE RIDDEN GAS EXPLODING HOVELS
Camden Cook
>hasn’t heemed himself off yet strange game
Aaron Howard
Let's not focus too hard on that foot in touch though hahah
Colton Lewis
couldn't have played a worse half of rugby if we tried, and we're still winning... world cup is in the bag boys
Xavier Rodriguez
It's not that the wings are underperforming but they just haven't had any ball. The passes are just going wayward before they could make it into their hands
Cameron Turner
Imagine if Barrett was first receiver Imagine the opportunities he would have made with all that ball
Caleb Smith
was close but not out lad
Josiah Reed
Quite a gay game of rug so far
Parker Adams
9. Perenara 10. Barrett 11. Tieko 12. Sonny Bill 13. Goodhue 14. Naholo 15. Smith You know I'm correct.
Asher Clark
did you really mean it when you said friends and kiwis
Mason Cooper
tiako waititi doesnt play rugby lad
James Garcia
Ben Smith doesn't seem quick enough to play on the wing?
Jacob Flores
They have both failed under the high ball and failed a bit when the ball does get to them Getting then balls a bit hard with a bad driver behind this Rolls Royce and a glory boy between the ball and them
Anthony Williams
Based Rassie lads
Jack Rogers
>sbw
Nathan Perry
It's not 2016 anymore.
Ayden Clark
The All Blacks have always shown they have the grit to win ugly, but they can't afford to exhaust themselves by making their own job hard like this.
Granted, the Springboks are doing a good job pressuring them, but those unforced handling errors have to be addressed
how many injuries do we need for ihaia west to get a start at 10
Julian Rodriguez
I'll punch you back to 2016 cunt
Joshua Martin
Dishonest lead.
Aiden Gutierrez
Mounga is just not big or fast enough for test rugby.
William Adams
ALB or Crotty for SBW and not bad. Usually I hate SBW and think he's overrated trash, people forget the 5 knock ons that cost 14 points and the dumb offload where he could have held onto it and recycled for another phase for a try and only remember the 1 good offload he gets off that game, but tonight he's looked pretty good compared to most of the other ABs.
Parker Phillips
Fucking YIKES at you two cazzies
Brody Stewart
>have to drop my leech sister somewhere right at half time shall be leaving the thread till I'm caught up
Jeremiah Anderson
Crotty is back for the world cup, no reasons to pick him as first pick. And ALB is better than Sonny "cant even play a full 7s game because my legs are fucked" Williams
Jayden Gray
at least it is a lead and we don't decide a winner by metres run
Dylan Green
9. Smith 10. Barrett 11. Ioane 12. Lienert-Brown 13. Goodhue 14. Bridge? Needs to prove it at test level first though 15. Smith
21. Perenara 22. Mo'unga 23. Laumape
Xavier Clark
IN FOR GOOD: Goodhue Frizzell Sonny Bill OUT: Mounga Jordie Todd
Oliver Allen
Here's the first five pecking order >Barrett >Mo'unga >J Ioane >Black >Marty MacKenzie >Cameron >Hunt >Some other people I probably forgot > > > >Shit > >West
Owen Morales
Josh Ioane is a fly half not a wing.
John Ward
Yeah big ALB fan 2bh. he'd be on my bench
Eli Wilson
Should have chucked a cheeky Piri in there
Leo Ross
Might buy some of that Wet n Forget after the recommendation from Grizz.
Cooper Kelly
for me its spray and walk away
Wyatt Phillips
Yeah and I forgot Beaver too
William Morris
based or cringe: the next time we host a world cup Richie McCaw will 100% definitely without any doubt land on the pitch in his helicopter as part of the opening ceremoney
Asher Ramirez
Doesn't matter how tough you are if you remove yourself from selection before the world cup with an injury 2bh Need to stop with this toxic masculinity about hardening up at expense of everything else
Colton Brown
pretty epic tb h
Ian Martinez
Spotted association football player lads
Jacob Torres
choppers are based
Cooper Bell
cringy in a based kind of way
Joseph Ross
Barrett back at first receiver for a fair bit of this Big oof to Richie
Kevin Lewis
Anyone who says this isn't based needs to be deported tttt
Jonathan Morris
their defence is fucking sound lads
Jordan Williams
If your injured it's not going to get better smashing into 100kg lads running at you. Hes a good player and should be thinking about lifting that cup, he needs to get there first though
Jordan Anderson
good footy this
Evan Campbell
>sonny bill is goo-
Gavin Robinson
Sonny Bill Liability
Joseph Cook
overrunning fags looking for intercepts you're gonna get burned
Carson Morris

Kevin Edwards

Ian James
Looks like he has been dropped from 10, Bridge on for him and Ben to full back soon?
