@Daffy-Jaffy OK Foz and Plum is obvious, and I guess Stormy is McLeod. Who the fuck is Fecky?

FFS you're supposed to be pros, drop the matey bullshit when talking to the public.

@Machpants Was just about to post something similar. It really annoys me.

The Bovine Pirate sounds a lot like Grant Fox, if I just heard the interview, that's who I would've thought it was!

@Machpants Funny as Mooar is a former solicitor, and they tend to like to talk, and talk, and talk...

Good point from Whitelock. The team (and leaders) take over for the latter part of the test week anyway. The coaches are just there as sounding boards.

Talks like a captain too

All four will now be in isolation and are out for the weekend. An obvious conclusion to be made is that others within the 35-player squad and management may also test positive and that the All Blacks will be reviewing their Covid protocols.

It's understood that none of the four have had Covid previously and that no other members of the squad are isolating.

Only four others in the group have not had Covid, it's understood.

This gives me more confidence than before the "brains trust" crippled themselves

I have to admit I have no fucken idea who the new sponsors are which makes me feel old or just out of touch.

More and more likely BB, RTS, RI backline if that is the case.

@chimoaus And maybe Perofeta at fullback if Jordie Barrett is injured.

Would be funny if DeGroot got called up as cover then outscrummed the opposition.

Wouldn't be funny if Bridge was called up as cover and came on to drop a high kick or fail to beat a man.
