All Blacks vs. B&I Lions test #1
-
Read has to be in some doubt to last the game, while Kaino almost never plays 80 minutes anymore for the ABs. You're right, S Barrett will almost certainly come on as a 6 (for Kaino) though if Read comes off Ardie is a chance to replace him, rather than Barrett on and Kaino to 8). As usual, BBBR and Whitelock will be told to go the 80 while the loosies get the early showers.

S Barrett is one of those guys who has made every post a winner since being selected as an AB. I never thought he was all that great for the Saders, but he's been excellent every time he's put on the black jersey. More than happy to see him on the bench.
Bit of tinfoil hat stuff here, but I wonder if the Crotty selection is a bit of a trap. They don't seem to rate him at all up North (shit plenty in NZ don't rate him) so perhaps they will target him as a weakness and suffer the consequences. Probably bollocks, but Crotty does have a tendency to carve up teams when he's deemed the weak link.
What I really do hope is that BB takes that ball to the line more. He's dialled it back big time for the Canes in recent weeks and hope he lets rip. SBW charging off his shoulder could be lethal.

@Rancid-Schnitzel last year I thought crotty was sort of just filling a gap until something better came along .
Changed my mind on him during the test season , I think the comparisons with Conrad are pretty fair ,, makes the right decisions , turns up in the right places gets shit done , with out a lot of fuss -
Are we there yet?
How many more sleeps?Rinse & repeat for as many times as you think Conor Murray will box kick.
Tell your kids you are bored and passing the time counting down the milliseconds.

My brother in law has scheduled a party for his birthday on saturday kicking off at 7:30.
He doesn't have sky.
I got a severe frowning from the mrs when I suggested we perhaps skip it.
Did I mention he doesn't have sky?FFs.

I'm sure you won't be alone if you slink off to another room and watch a stream on SkyGo (if SkyGo actually goes).
Failing that drop her off and go to the pub. -

I was going to tell her I have explosive diarrhoea , she might doubt it but it's not really worth the risk if I'm not faking.

I can lend you some pants.
My brother in law has his birthday party on now, but I said no, the Samoa game is on. They can pick me up for the after party.
Mind you, I bought a comfy couch for occasions such as this. -

I am not sure what you expected on a rugby forum when you tell a tale of woe that your wife wont let you watch the biggest game in a number of years.... because her brother is having birthday party. Turn up at 9:30. If he sulks about that, knowing how much you love your rugby.. and your wife takes his side... well you wont be on the one being a tool.
Just grow a pair
