There's prematch banter and there's cruelly sadistic taunting.

I would of course, but Razor keeps overlooking me. Perhaps his forelock is blocking his vision.

Easy. That's me tying my shoelaces after some decent dark ales.

Is Bell injured or dropped?
Resting a rib injury I'm told
He is like what people who purely watch YT schoolboy hightlights think Taniela Tupou is. Such a good player

ABs have a huge advantage over Australia in the halves. Surely they can't fuck it up?
We do, but advantage them in the loose forwards and combinations in the 3/4 line - and we have some obvious areas to target. Both teams likely to attack better than they defend. I'm actually looking forward to it, as the Aussies have been good to watch and our backs have a chance at getting running ball for a change.

Chance of wet conditions, then easing up later, might put a dampener on running rugby.

For what it's worth, here is an AI generated breakdown of tonight's ref's (Matt Carley) previous games involving AB's and separately, the Wallabies-
Metric All Blacks (7 games) Wallabies (5 games)
Total Penalties 50 56
Average Penalties/Match 7.1 11.2
Total Yellow Cards 7 4
Total Red Cards 1 0
Clean Matches (No Cards) 3 2
Most Penalized Game AB's 14 (vs South Africa, Oct 2021)
Most Penalized Game Wallabies 14 (vs South Africa, Jul 2023)
Key Takeaways:
Discipline Gap: The Wallabies average more penalties per match than the All Blacks under Carley, suggesting tighter scrutiny or more frequent infringements.Card Trends: The All Blacks have received more yellow cards and the only red card, mostly in physical contests against South Africa.
Carley’s officiating style seems to demand high discipline in contact-heavy matches,

@allblackfan2 Oops-apologies, should have put it into a table

@reprobate Yes for his handling of the Wales v Fiji RWC game. There were allegations of bias, and that had also been raised in games involving SA

Welp, time to set expectations to low and hope for the best.
Feels like head office had a wry smile on their face when assigning this prick

Low expectations tonight, hoping for a win. A loss would be pretty catastrophic.
