Geez, to come so close. Congratulations SA. And thank you Foz, all the squad and the support staff, you did us proud and it’s been an amazing journey to get to this point.

I know no one gives a fufu but the two questions remain.
- What happened to the ABs over the last 4 years
- How did we end up with this WC draw
Lots of things. On the slide since 2017 but I think the key has been the players' confidence and loyalty to the coaching staff, new forwards coach in Ryan and Joe Schmidt agreeing to get more involved. Sam Cane & snr players deserve huge credit too.
And I reckon Foz’s perseverance in sticking with the core team and supporting their learning from the mistakes/poor performance /discipline has been another factor.

As in their form leading up to this comp?

BB wasn’t too far behind the pace there

Come on Finlay!,

I thought I’d be less nervous than last week but no, here comes the anxiety train.

Call it what you like. The betting markets are saying the All Blacks are 1/12 on to make the final. All the pundits are saying we are going to make the final.
I’d say there’s an enormous air of complacency around this Semi Final. We’ve been here before and we know where it ends up. Respect your opponent or end up on your arse.
Have the AB’s indicated they don’t rate/respect the Pumas’s? Or is it AB fans?

@mariner4life said in RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina:
last week really took the wind out of the sails aye? by this point of the week we had 600 more posts than this week.
Team selection met with a shrug. Rotate the old locks, Telea back from the naughty corner, ST back to have a run at them late.
I hope there is a bit more oomph at training than online.Perhaps some Ferners haven’t been discharged yet from cardiac wards or mental health clinics post last weekends game.

@mariner4life They need to suffer, I live in Oz and all my Wallaby supporting colleagues (and a few Aussie non rugby work mates ) supported Ireland on the weekend...and are now barracking for Argentina. My Bok colleagues have always had the ABs as their second team in the RC. And them and the SA's at the dog park are far better losers than the Aussi dog owners are, geez they get dirty when they lose to us. And far more lippy with their gibes pre an ABs game no matter who we are playing. Let them all suffer in their budgie smugglers.

I'm assuming there are going to be lots of cheap tickets popping up online for the Semi-final, I can't imagine many Irish supporters hanging around now.
Anyone know of any reputable ticket resale sites?
RWC have a ticket resale section, heaps of tickets available, all full price €550

A good pre game read for nervous AB fans

AB shirt on, low key nerves started yesterday and now building. It’s 3:30 here in Brissie. Go the AB’s!!

@booboo said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
Fuck it. I'm 5 pages behind and not catching up. Did I miss anything?
Slight suggestion Roigard was implicated with Telea (Rugby Direct Podcast) but was a selection decision.
Anything else?
There is no evidence (as yet) Telea was out grogging, on the grog or grogged up.

@MN5 said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
So hang on, in order to beat the Irish this weekend do the ABs need to drink more or less ?
Yes
Your assuming grog was involved

Just read a piece in Stuff by Aaron Goile on the Talea sanction and referencing previous incidents “ What is interesting to note is that on all these occasions, the All Blacks have gone on to win their tests following the incidents in question – 33-10 against Argentina in Auckland in 2011; 21-11 against South Africa in Dunedin in 2012; 34-13 against the Pumas in La Plata in 2014; 57-15 against the Springboks in Durban in 2016”
OMG it’s an omen, they are not only going to beat the Irish …their going to thump the cocky green bastards!

@Chris Midnight Mass?

I refuse to contemplate picking a ‘second’ team before this game. For me it would be like throwing in the towel early. Hell no! I have belief this AB’s team can beat the Irish side.
