RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2)

Weather forecast looks shit. Is this a negative for us? The game slowing down will benefit the Irish but we are a pretty decent wet weather team as well.

So supposedly a source close to the team have passed on to a mate (and so on)...so take with a grain of salt*.. Anyway they believe that unless injury occurs the team was announced internally yesterday.

@bayimports Not sure about Jordie ahead of BFA but pretty happy with the rest of the team.

perhaps given now Jordie can play 10 at a push?
And @cgrant I agree surely its Ofa

@bayimports We've already got two tens so I don't think it's that.

Risky game to play two hookers. And give Aaron or Ben a debut there.

I was curious as to how good Coles would be at tighthead. Guess we'll find out.
Mobile pack anyway.

For those that are held up on numbers, its interesting.. if I go to edit mode
Smith is 9 and Coles in 16
So either a bug, or one of you funny buggers has a great edit feature

Remove the dots after the numbers and it’ll work
The software thinks you’re adding an ordered list and gets confused

I'd also rather Pat T on the bench, he's a physical beast and can add a real point of difference in the final 20

@bayimports Won't surprise me if that's the team.
The team The Herald released reckoning it was the team to play Italy had Goodhue at centre - and it looked very much a shadow No. 1 side.
I'm slightly surprised that Jordie makes the bench ahead of Ben Smith - not many changes they could make to field less caps in the backs - BFA, Crotty and Rieko all on the outer - they could have picked Brad Weber, I guess.
We'll see for sure on Thursday.

Yeah if Jordie Mac is selected it may point to one of Barrett or Mo'unga having a slight injury impacting goal-kicking?
@Bones Or maybe if one of Richie or Beaudy get hurt they think Jordie has the best skillset to carry on with the two play-makers thing.
@Machpants Hansen has almost entirely abandoned his "experience wins" mantra for this RWC.
Just another drum that was convenient to beat at the time?

@Chris-B yeah that's gotta be our rawist backline in a world cup knock out for a few tournaments

I imagine losing circa 300 caps would do that.
