Thursday morning Niue, going diving in the afternoon, so can't even have holiday morning beersies

8 in the evening. Clearing out some more scrub & a bonfire during the day. Bath, then beer and Rugby. What more can one ask for?

Either you have a vagina or you're going on a road trip

[booboo]

Hmm. A few too many changes for me.

The picture alone should be enough to make a few ferners all hot and bothered

[Bovidae]

Resting the three forwards who have started every game, and Retallick.

[Tordah]

As long as they get the job (win + BP) done, I don't really care who plays this week.

Lol. That team will rack up a huge score again

[Kiwiwomble]

Bloody called it, mass change, fozzie thinks first string combos are all sorted and so given then a rest and give the rest a run

Is that 7 changes to the starting xv?

@pakman Irish are vulnerable at TH because they have to play Furlong deep into game and by 55 he’ll be pretty knackered.

They're not playing SA again until the Final

Is BBBR injured? He had an ice pack on his leg after the last game.

@Bovidae said in RWC Week 5: All Blacks v Uruguay:

With no midfield cover on the bench, will Jordie and ALB play 80 minutes, or will they take ALB off and move Fainga'anuku to 13, when Clarke comes on?

Also wondering what will happen when BB comes on. Will Richie or Dmac be subbed; if Richie, I assume Dmac will move to 10?

It will also be interesting who goes off when Blackadder comes on. I assume Cane, because he hardly plays 80 minutes anymore?

[nostrildamus]

I'm assuming LF moves to 13, but ALB may take over 12. In this sort of game, it probably does not matter where EB takes over (6 or 7 I assume). It's interesting that Roigard starts.

Now THAT is comedy gold.

I feel I tipped the result too early.

[Victor Meldrew]

Pretty logical selection.

Rest Reiko and some tired forwards, gets Sam & SF up to speed, more game-time for Roigard with RMo and see how DMac goes a-playmaking with RMo. Lack of midfield cover interesting though.

@Bovidae so the probable starting 15 would have played together once in 6 weeks going into a QF against a team we need aoad of luck and cohesion to beat? FML.
