Impact 🤮

But there's some significant dissidence in that squad. I don't know enough about the Irish, I runt watch UAR, but hopefully a good contest

Anyone established if this is being screened in the UK? Can’t find any evidence.

Over 3 times the amount of test experience in the starting XV. This should be a strong victory to the ABXV honestly.

I believe they’re Irish channels only so will require a VPN.

It is all in the books of three players though, with a massive amount in one.

Will the All Blacks XV do the haka before the match? I couldn’t remember if the JABs did it before they were disbanded.

[Stargazer]

@ACT-Crusader The Junior ABs did do a haka. Don't all NZ rep teams?

v Tonga (2009):

v Samoa (2007):

[ARHS]

Our pack might get outgunned here. Backs look more potent though.

TJ Perenara confirmed on Thursday that there would be a haka.

[Crucial]

Is no one watching this?

[Canes4life]

Just turned it on.

[Tim]

Stevenson looking sharp. Lot of penalties against us so far.

[scribe]

@Crucial Can’t. VPN not working 😥

[Stargazer]

@Crucial Yep.

[Canes4life]

Jeez wtf was that from Ennor.

[Tim]

Shocker of a pass - between 7 and 14.

[Crucial]

TJ done again by the player standing in the ruck knocking his arm when he picks up the ball
I get that it is technically correct but it is a really dumb law interpretation IMO. Disruptive and negative and encourages “snakes” at rucks to clear the ball.
Faf dK was YCd for doing it not long back. That’s how stupid it looks to the eye.
