    Never Change, Shag. I love the way he responds to some of the more facile and inane questions.

    He's unflappable. Definitely wheels out his detective mask to put them in their places, its brilliant

    Here's Foster:

    Interesting that he specifically says they don't expect an aerial bombardment, double tripple bluff? They'd have to tie Murray's shoe laces together to stop the box kicks!

    @Machpants mind games.

    Read something yesterday about him joking about setting a trap (or were they)

    Now, I've heard it all! Owens will allow the ABs to cheat more.

    He may allow the game to flow more ,open running rugby will suit us down to the ground obviously,

    They want a stop start borefest, but they can’t say that , it sounds too negative and against what is good for the game

    Kind of a pathetic story.
    Any Irish journalist could go online, find some whinging Kiwis fans somewhere, then headline it-

    It just cracks me up when other team’s fans carry on about breakdown ‘cheating’ as if their team is Lilly white.

    And that's my point. Ireland wants a ref who allows plenty of leeway at the breakdown but have criticised the likes of Gardner who was stricter with players supporting their own bodyweight.

    Weather forecast - warm but rainy.

    Will Ireland handle it?

    It's cold compared to last week and the start of the tourney. I had to wear a long-sleeved jersey to work today for the first time this year, so I imagine the Irish will be loving it compared to earlier. If it is 22 degrees, then that is warmish, but not hot by any means.

    I guess we will have to wait and see if Hugh Middity is named in the team. He got the blame for the loss to Japan so I suspect they won't select him again.

    You just be careful out there. A bit chilly. It was lovely last week wasn't it?

    Justin Marshall has assumed the role of Fitzy v2 by calling the Irish laborious (a big word for him) and predictable. He gives the Irish little chance of winning.
