Or not, as my inner Jeremiah would say....

Hope he has a stormer.

Fuck this NH Comms is shithouse.

Nacewa : Will Jordan is just one if those guys that doesn't make mistakes. In fact he's barely made a mistake all year.

You've only watched Will's highlights right Isa? And that's ok, but don't make shit up.

Sitting here waiting for kick-off with a mix of excitement, trepidation, hope, foreboding and nerves.

Perhaps last week was the darkness before the dawn (but we've been here before since 2019) or tonight will be a lancing of the boil that has become our crap Test performance of late, and will force change.

Did Kieran Read stop eating when he retired? He has lost a lot of weight by the looks.

Samisoni Taukei'aho's All Blacks absence should raise some eyebrows

The All Blacks have made a handful of changes to their starting line-up for Saturday's do-or-die clash with Ireland but it's a change in the reserves that has perhaps caused the most furrowed brows around New Zealand.

Good luck all, let's hope for 15vs15.

Aki closing his eyes because he can't bear to see himself sing Ireland's Call

[MiketheSnow]

Best thing about Ireland playing away is the anthem is a fraction of its usual length

[MiketheSnow]

Nugget is up for it

That's a terrible rendition of our national anthem

[Bones]

Rock anthem 🤣

If only they played as well as they perform the haka.

[Kruse]

Oh good, we've spent the week changing the formation of the haka.
That'll fix everything.

[chimoaus]

Amazing how times change, I'm happy to have Barnes with the whistle.
