The Silver Fern

Not world cup but worth 2 and a half minutes to reminisce just for the sake of it

@98blueandgold

Tucker was quite amazing last night. Add Fletcher Smith to that list too!

I doubt you even watch a single game not involving the Crusaders (means you can't get your red and black gimp suit out). 😂

I'm surprised to see Retallick in the OP's list - he's a great player but was rusty as hell in his first outing for months. I'm sure he'll be smashing it come the business end of the season but he was off the pace, and a little ill disciplined last round.

@98blueandgold Unless we can poach him after three years, what's the point of wasting money to develop a foreign player. The Crusaders are potentially developing a future Wallaby here. I really don't know what they are trying to achieve by signing all these overseas players. That money could have been put into the development of one of the NZ youngsters instead.

@pakman said in Bledisloe 2:

Article by Stuart Barnes in today's Times notes that Aaron Smith didn't kick once in Aussie tests. I had missed that.

Reminds me of pool games against minnows in last RWC. The wise men are upping the pressure to make Rugby Championship better preparation for Japan.

I guess if the Aussies won't give us a hard test we have to help them out 😉
