This match is huge for NZ
Perform badly against us and it's a real downer on which to end the year
Lose - we can dream - and NZ is in the fucking toilet
Realistically - and barring injury - Razor should pick his strongest side and destroy us
If he tinkers then it could be his undoing

The pressure on Robertson to resign is growing. If we lose on Saturday, he won't be given that courtesy. He'll be fired.

Made that mistake against Italy last year.
Don't make wholesale changes, but the team certainly needs freshening up.
@game_film We've got no chance but 2004 still haunts me, I was in the stadium and honestly thought we could do it until the Joe Rokocoko show. 24-25 🥴

Me too
I'd go with something like:
Watched that. Noticed:
Tony Spreadbury was a bloody good Ref, Martyn Williams was world-class as was Gethin Jenkins, Dan Carter was as chilled in his early career as he was at the end.
Oh, and Jonathan Davies actually added value to a commentary back then.

Even a non convincing win would put him under all sorts of pressure
@Bones People think it's the same as The Netherlands. It's not.
It's just two provinces of the country. North Holland and South Holland. Okay, they are the most historically important and richest parts of the country. North Holland = Amsterdam. South Holland = Rotterdam and The Hague.
But the whole country is called The Netherlands.

Predicted Team
- Williams
- Taukei'aho
- Mafileo
- Barrett
- Holland
- Sititi
- Kirifi
- Savea
- Ratima
Stopped there. That's a fucking dreadful team.
Sititi isn't a blindside's arsehole. I'm in my 50s and I put in more dominant tackles.
Kirifi has shown the disparate leap between Super Rugby and Tests. Literally too small to have a positive impact.
Savea is fucking arse. Useless fluffybunny won't hit a ruck. Might as well select my dead grandmother.
I am expecting this to be the worst team we’ve seen all year. It is going to be a combo of those who haven’t played and those needing more chances… I can’t see anything other than farewells in the backline especially
I'd like to have sees what a 9-10-12 of Roigard, McKenzie, Jordie could do this season, but unfortunately because of Raygun's insistence on BB and now injury we're only likely to see Ratima, McKenzie, Tupaea this week. Which is okay, but tells us nothing.
If he is going to make wholesale changes so we achieve nothing, then @Grooter at least I'd like to see him throw his toys and tell a few guys to watch this one from the stands because it's not fucking good enough. But sadly I don't think he has the cajones for that and we'll get what @frugby says.

na, they'll give ALB a start alongside Proctor surely.

Sigh. Yep, they probably will.
@frugby said in Wales Vs All Blacks:
@MN5 ALB and Rieko surely? Unless Rieko is on the wing?
Yes. Forgot about him ( as have the selectors ) he'll be there somewhere.
