I don’t mind if we don’t win the World Cup from here. That was our final. The Irish were the best team in the world. We stopped their winning streak. We were underdogs. We played 20 mins with only 14 men. This win was bigger than a final I reckon. Our best performance in four years. Just epic

The Argentinian number 8,Isa has been the best in that position this year in my opinion
-
Jason Rutledge at 42 , has been called into the Southland M10 Cup due to a season ending unjury to Flynn Thomas and Greg Pleasants Tate breaking a finger in last Fridays pre season game against Otago
-
Ben Earl at number 8 has been impressive during this tournament for England.
-
@African-Monkey Might be a bit awkward if they pair him up for a tackling drill with Sio Tompkinson
-
@Kiwiwomble Confirmed today Otago has brought prop Josh Hohneck, former highlander No8 Nasi Manu and former Auckland club winger Freedom Vahaakolo into its Mitre 10 Cup squad for this year. Vahaakolo has been carving it up in Dunedin club rugby this season apparently

Irish newspapers have reported the Allblacks XV will also play Ireland A on Friday the 4th November at the RDS ground in Dublin on their northern tour

@bluedex I'm not moaning about the country I live in, you gave an inaccurate portrayal of Irish sports fans. Last weekends game has proved that. I'm not precious about the all blacks, I know they are not angels, but the Irish reaction in general has been one sided without any objectivity
-
@mariner4life Any player who can score a try, swig a beer and kick a sideline conversion in quick succession deserves to be in All Blacks calculations in my books!
-
I think this is the way forward, playing pre season games in UK/Ireland. Bigger crowds at least
-
Otago half back Jonathan Ruru has signed a one year contract with the Blues
-
A fair result all things considered.Good haka at the start.Macca Springer and Cullen Grace were good value. I don't rate Kemara and today didn't change my mind. Reihana unlucky at the end
-
@friedrugby Rather them than highlanders fans !
-
I still think the wheels are starting to fall off the "unstoppable green machine ". Series against Boks will be a cracker
-
@Crucial I thought that was one of the worst lack of gamesmanship I have seen in a long time, right as we were taking the conversion. Who the fuck does Best think he is? It's not cricket with a referral system. It was piss poor and another reason why I,'ll be supporting the convicts this weekend (which pains me no end)
-
@Tim Pretty sure Bryn Gatland was there also this week. I guess with Fekitoa and Sopoaga on extended leave they are there as cover on short term contracts
-
@Virgil Written by Matt Williams the shit ozzie coach whose been living in Ireland for years. He was in the Irish tv3 studio for the world Cup last year and was going on about us for this then.... It's a serious yawn fest at this stage.
-
@Bones yeah it's a shame they don't get released. Am looking forward to Luke Whitelock playing for the BABAS again tho as he's worth the admission price alone!
-
@bluedex I'm not sure I agree with you there. I have lived in Dublin for many years (sorry Jegga) and only yesterday some workmates were still complaining about Rollaind apologising for Smiths yellow card!
A good attitude to sport? There was mass hysteria when Thierry Henry robbed them of going to the soccer world cup a few years back, and they were trying to ban French wine and cheese in supermarkets as a result.
When they lose to ozzie in the gaelic rules, its usually because the ozzies roughed them up... And then there was the Irish boxer who gave the judge the finger when he lost at the Olympics this year... And no other country plays hurling to "rob" them of a win unfortunately
Nobody does over reaction better than them, and their is a trend of it. Those with the good attitude are in the minority I'm afraid
