All Blacks to face the Lions

[Scott]

Resident Warrior - the selectors will not go away from the team that smashed France. That means Howlett and Rokocoko will be the wingers on 25 June against the Lions. Tough on Gear in particular, but Howlett and Rokocoko have never let the Black jersey down and that won't be forgotten, and rightly so.

15. Muliaina
14. Howlett
13. Smith
12. Umaga
11. Rokocoko
10. Carter
9. Kelleher
8. So'oailo
7. McCaw
6. Collins
5. Williams
4. Jack
3. Hayman
2. Oliver
1. Woodcock

Bench,
Mealamu, Somerville, Gibbes, Holah, Weepu, Mauger, Nonu.

Same team that smashed France - Maxwell out for obvious reason, Williams to start, Gibbes to the bench.

Marshall will make the team and so will MacDonald.

 

[Scott]

McDonald will be part of the 26

Marshall won't be picked - sad, as he is the best, but they wwill go with Kelleher

 

[ThrashViking]

Even he did rip into Henry he is still by far the best halfback available, the selectors all know this.

What's the All Blacks logo? oh thats right A FERN! ooooooh how manly!

Anyway, to be completely honest I wont mind who wins this series, if the Lions win all those inflated kiwi ego's will be dealt another healthy blow (the last being their most recent WC flop ), but if the All Blacks win Sir Clive will be sent packing with nothing to show for his efforts! It's WIN WIN!

Its a silver fern... that makes all the difference..... oh and what have the wannabies or any aussie rugby team got in the trophy cabinet at the moment?

 

[ThrashViking]

How did Taaaaaaaahs go on the weekend mate? They sure looked like girls.
Why would you want the evil Poms to beat the All Blacks? We may have many sheep but atleast we dont put dogs into pies and put our beer in the microwave.

I was going to say the Cook Cup but they dont have that anymore.
Do they get a trophy for beating Samoa?

lol wish full thinking. I think it will be closer than that 2-1 to the AB's. Are the games being shown in Aus at all ?

And what does that say about the Wannabe's? since everyone knows:
All Blacks>>>>>>Springboks>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wannbe's

Hey how many World Cups have you guys won again? Who ruined your chances in 2003? I'm pretty sure The "wannabies" (clever one mate) have won more than the choking All Blacks (always so close yet so far). As for the Trophy cabinet apart from missing the bledisloe, we have pretty much the same as you lot! It's just that the Wallabies don't sh*t themselves at every world cup

And what does that say about the Wannabe's? since everyone knows:
All Blacks>>>>>>Springboks>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wannbe's

Everyone knows do they? Last years Tri Nations table says different dipsh*t. If you don't remember, the All Blacks finished LAST!
And just so you remember, we actually beat the lions last time, so if you lose it'll just be another example of how much better the wallabies are at playing the games that count (ie: RWC's).

Yeah on foxsports.
Honestly though, I'll be going for the All Blacks, I've just been trying to stir a bit after all the sh*t the Tah's copped from the cheeky buggers around here.

I don't really, but I will still give the kiwi's sh*t if they lose, because it'll be another thing we have over, them like winning more world cups

I was going to say the Cook Cup but they dont have that anymore.

? Since when? We beat England in both encounters last year. Once in Brisbane and once in Twickenham.

 

[ThrashViking]

Sorry, my bad.
I was thinking of the french-australian game that Australia lost (then Argentina & NZ gave the french a dicking the weeks after, hurhur)

Back to the topic of All Blacks side to play Lions......

Surely Anesi isn't a change?? Thoughts?
