>against Wales

am i supposed to be impressed?

Is there a /rug/ SuperBru for the ITM cup and these internationals lads?

I hope not. His form ended there. He went back to Super Rugby and tanked.

Super Rugby > Wales

The coaching staff are dicks like this. They give one guy plenty of opportunities and others fuck all. Kerr-Barlow is an example. Has been in bad form for some time yet he is there over Weber.

Dagg is only in the mix because of how lean we are in test level wingers.

I wish Fatvea had shown his true form earlier in the Super rugby season, Then we might have been able to bleed some new blood against the welsh.

Where's the memer-skudder?

injured

destroyed his shoulder, will be lucky to see him by the end of the RC.

They should play Dagg at wing. Ben Smith is just so much better at fullback. Why put your best fullback on the wing? Fucking coaches are doing Australias job for them and neutralising Ben Smith.
Dagg started coming off the bench at wing when he was breaking through to the All Blacks.
Fuck Dagg man.

They prefer B.Smith at 14 because he can slot back and play 2nd receiver.

B.Smith effectively has to attempt to play 2 positions because the centre pairing(Crotty/Fekitoa) is more defensive minded.

>fekitoa
>defensive minded

le rush up out of the line man.

he runs a heavy line

>no mckenzie
>fatvea
Hansen has lost the plot

/rug/'s back
you beauty

if fatvea didnt get a spot then he'd probably off himself lad

>yfw sonny bill williams will never play rugby again after his rio injury
>yfw all blacks will pick a real centre instead of some fake muslim code hopper
>yfw this cunt finally fucks off back to australia for good

McKenzie's a joke.
Lardy Savea sucks Hansen's withered choad.

He's got one season left in him, bring one home for da Land

>Charlie Ngatai still out with concussion

Feel bad for him bros

He's done. Can't see how he comes back from it.

>19. Dean Mumm

no really, what is going on with this? yeah yeah jokes about Mumm has pictures of Cheika naked or whatever. But this is beyond parody now

His dad is used to be on the board of the ARU.

Aside from that he's one of Cheika's boyz - guys like Wycliff Palu who just get an automatic spot because cheika likes their intangibles or some shit.

Midfield/cover does look relatively weak without Ngatai & Moala. Even Money Bill Williams offers something if paired right.

yeah if we didnt have crotty we'd be really fucked
probably have to bring in >faddes

yeah its not as if ben smith played on the wing for the all blacks for years, and its not as if dagg has been shit playing on the wing

>Beaudy now the starting 10
List of those on pooicide watch:
- shitspouter
- chefs boguns
- pooden
- manawatu boguns

Is Dean Mumm related to your mum?

Will Deans mum score lads?

Harbour looking good. Could be our year.

>tfw I called Hurricanes win and Barrett starting AB'S
I doubt anyone cap'd it

Lel at NZ sevens Tbh faams

Why is Cotter Leaving? He was doing alright

Disappointing 2bh

Let's keep picking Sam "Do nothing" Cane.

They deserved it for trying to pad the team with useless thirty something year old all blacks

This lel.
>le keeps getting away with it man

I had no hope in the team when the started fielding 15s players/cross coders.

I actually thought Tietjens would tell the NZRFU to fuck off but obviously he likes liking their crusty buttholes.

>picked SBW
deserved it to be honest

Liam Messam is a queer cunt.

The real rugby is on tomorrow.
Ospreys playing the Belgium national team as a preseason warmup.

You'll see all your favourite Belgian rugby stars.

cant effing wait mate

Fardy on the bench and McCalman at 6? Interesting if true.

Good weekend for rugger lads
Wallabies blacked by All Blacks tmrw night, then wake up and watch RSA v Argies on Sunday morning. Fuck knows what's gonna happen in that one.
Six mitre10 cup games too. Cunterbury v Auckland 7.30pm Sat night to warm up for the ABs.

What in Sam hell is a puma?

Harbour 20 - 10 Counties/Man
10 min to go

>manakau now just plain manukau

>rugby team from south Auckland
>call them the Stealers

20-17 4min to go

AMS on apotheosis watch

Honestly not sure what to think about this meme

Might try pineapple

Shame they paired the best kbar flavour with dark chocolate though

If you feel anything other than disappointment that it isn't a giant kbar that has rows like a kitkat that you can snap off then you are beyond saving

I was expecting at worst it to be milk chocolate with specs of kbar spread through it like hokey pokey

gonna grab a block tomorrow

never forget

maybe he wants to go back to NZ, maybe wants more money

Barrett will be greater than Carter.

Screencap this.

carter was a better kicker

he's got a long way to go, I think carter was like 23 when he dominated that lions tour, barrett will be 26

and better in general

Tfw so shit at Rugby now that probably won't even watch us get decimated by the other teams

Argies looking for 2nd in da championship 2behonny

Only hope is that Jantjies gets injured and Morne starts

youtube.com/watch?v=M5eT7xmu2VE

I thought half their squad committed suicide after that terrible super rugby season?

Aussie still number 2 imo

Mitre 10 and Currie cup again today

hi when does the mitre cup end thanks

#bringfonotiahome

29th of October

Anyone see the NZ sevens haka? kek disaster

No. Losers don't get to do a haka

They should do it before the matches start each day or not at all 2bh

Hang in there /rug/
