This thread is for discussing this match only

The Rules

1. Do not give scores for any other match from this round until 24 hours after the last game!
2. Do not discuss other matches in detail.
3. Good hearted banter is encouraged but trolling is not allowed.
4. Be respectful to posters, players, coaches and match officials.
5. Go the Tahs

Breaches of the rules will be handled by the Mod Team.


This match should see the return of Tatafu Polota-Nau after sitting out the weekend following a head knock at training. Tolu Latu had an excellent game in his absence so he will be very unlucky to move back to the bench.

Otherwise I'd expect the Tahs to pick the same team.

Blues 0-5 and off a bye. They will be a different team I suspect.

Kaino should be back for this one. Blues have real problems at 9/10 this season. Their midfield is a revolving door and the back 3 is playing poorly as a unit.

Tahs by plenty

9 and 10 are the only backline positions where SJK isn't selecting wingers.

Maybe he should start trying that as well?

I'm hanging out to read @Dismal Pillocks match preview.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^^^ his match review will be far more entertaining.

"Right then fellas, no training this week, the mob we're playing never practice so why the fuck should we. Just make sure you come good for one 20 minute spell on Saturday, that'll be more than enough to see off this motley crew of birdbrained drongos. Never mind if they run in a spectacular try, or even two, let em' have their fun, it'll keep em' from getting angry, jesus, it's almost a fuckin' guarantee they'll cough it up at the next fuckin' kickoff anyway.

Oh, and Pots, please, for the love of God, do not call the bloke on the bench named 'George Moala' a poofter. I don't think the Sydney Football Stadium St Johns ambulance crew come equipped with the jaws of life.

Righto then, that's it, fuck practice, I'm off to the golf course, see you pricks on Saturday!"

 

[Lindommer]

Blues 0 from 5, Tahs on the up, is this a banana skin match? Or is the end of SJK?

I've been surreptitiously organising the less batshit-crazy of those from a Kiwi rugby forum that shall remain nameless. So not 100% sure where I'll be sitting Saturday night at this stage.

I think Blues could take this one. There are a lot of ABs in the team who are getting embaressed week in and week out. If the Blues backline clicks it could be all on. The Highlanders showed that the Waratahs fitness was a weak point.
Blues by 12 and under. Thats my $5 bet with the TAB.

How did the Highlanders show the Waratahs have a fitness issue? The last 20 minutes of the match was all Waratahs. The match is over but really if they played again I doubt the Tahs would lose, they switched off for 10 mins before and after HT and cost them badly.

Tahs unbackable.

Tahs by 40

If there were a prize for a super franchise for the worst fitness it would go to the blues hands down. Year after year you can tell they have poor conditioning

Seriously though, I know the demographic of Auckland includes a lot of Islander blokes, but Auckland rugby just seems to be a huge mess of "pick all these amazing cuzzy kids and we'll win hands down!"

Kirwan isn't instilling much of a work ethic into them, but then you'd expect senior guys like Mealamu to have a big say in that culture as well.

I still think this game is a banana skin for the Tahs.

 

[Marcelo]

Send me the link. I just want to spy on the Kiwis

 

[Pfitzy]

EVERY game is a banana skin for the Tahs because everyone is waiting to say NAH YOUR FUCT MAYTE FUCKEN NO TITLE DEFENCE FOR YOU!
