Bloody beautiful day here in the capital. No excuses tonight.
If there’s a loss there will be
Yep, will hear plenty of 'just give Razor time', 'he doesn't have the cattle' bullshit from his admirers.
Having said that, ABs by 20+ surely. This Wallabies team is borderline tier 2.

I wouldn't class myself as an admirer, but in general I'm in the give him time camp.
For this game though, his selections are not trying anything new, they are TJ and BB to start FFS. You don't get any leeway on results if you're going to select the past. -

I thought the Crusaders got away with a lot of professional fouls under Robertson and Ryan - taking their play to the edge. Maybe it flys under the NZ teams giving the dominant team the benefit of the doubt but at test level the refs aren't buying it.
Hey that's my fucking drum!

Agree the Saders gave away a lot of professional fouls, but it seems they also got punished a lot with cards. Card stats would be interesting to see.

Blackadder out the front of the stadium posing for photos. Can see why he loses collisions. Real undersized for a six.

118kg according to some reports. At 1.9m. But yeah, doesn’t have the Kaino/Collins physique. Or even Rueben Thorne if we’re being honest.
Then again, Richie McCaw was pretty underwhelming in the flesh and he went ok.

You get a selfie with him or did he get injured beforehand?

Got a bad feeling about this. Mood not helped by 9/Stan sports relying on SBW for tactical insights.

SBW.
Overrated as a player, underrated as a comments man……
I think he’s good fun. I’ll always have fond memories of him interviewing Dave Rennie and calling him “bro”

Rare is the occasion there isn't a bro when he is talking.
