@Steven-Harris said in All Blacks 2023:
Jacobson an absolute lightweight at this level
That’s why I’m glad he played and not finau. We have the proof. There is still time to change the 33. And they should.

Ireland haven't even named their 33 yet. Why did we do it so soon.

Any idea if we might see any changes to the squad after yesterday? Like Joe Moody coming into the squad.

If Scott Barrett misses any games then surely Lord has to come in

Does anyone know if he automatically misses games for the red card or does he not due to the fact it was for a second yellow? Does he have to go to the judiciary for the second yellow on it's own or because it wasn't upgraded to red then that's the final punishment?

@Nepia I think as it is a red that is an automatic judicial visit, but hopefully they still see the YC as a YC only and then he should be free to play.

A red card, for whatever reason, is always a visit to the jucidiary, but not necessarily a suspension. They'll have a look at both yellow card offenses separately. The first was a team yellow. The second one is the one that will get a closer look. It's definitely possible that they say the sent-off was enough and that he won't be suspended. Fingers crossed they dont' see the 2nd yellow as more than a yellow, or worth a week off.

@sparky said in All Blacks 2023:
On tonight’s evidence things to fix: scrums, lineouts, handling, positional play against the kick and game management by the senior players.
Those are big things to fix just before a RWC.
I’ve lost all optimism tbh. I actually think we can beat France. But not the matches that matter. That was extremely impressive from SA. All the ingredients to win a RWC on display.

It was impressive, but they had a helping hand. And I'd expect a top team to do more with the amazing amount of territory and possession.

Wonder if they were jetlagged. The Boks and some of the other teams appear to have had a better preparation, particularly playing Wales last week. Did the Abs come over too late, pretty sure they . arrived on Wednesday.
@SBW1 said in All Blacks 2023:
jetlagged
Possible contributer. Along with playing bad and them playing good.
Silly question maybe. But as SA is the same timezone as UK jet-lag would not be an issue for them?

Timezone creates jet lag, correct. But flying is still not great for performance athletes. Hardly a new thing, tho

Can't really comment. Don't do a lot of flying ...

Really think we should have come over earlier and had an extra warmup game against Japan or one of the island nations or even played in Japan.

I just had a look at the draw.
So if we win or lose to France and qualify A1 or A2, I don't see much difference between playing Ireland or SA in the QF
If we win that game we will be on either side of the draw depending on our pool position
The opponents will either be England, Oz, Wales or Argentina.
So I guess it's possible for us to lose the opener, and meet France in the final if we were to win through?

Am not sure what to make of your post Canefan.
You been following this whole World Cup draw thing over the last three years at all?
