Vorsprung durch Pfennig.
Carter out, Cruden /in
Gear out, Savea in
Conrad Smith in 13 to replace SBW
Beale in at 15 for Oz, AAC at 13 - Rob Horne out
Johan Goosen on the Bench for Boks - one to watch most certainly
With the form Cruden has been in for the Super 15 season, that doesnīt really weaken the All Blacks.....
Who is the sub flyhalf gonna be then...???
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
Beauden Barrett from Hurricanes/Taranaki
Was thinking it would've been 9. Smith 10. Cruden 12. Carter if all fit with form Cruden was in after SBW left
The python returns. I honestly think he might be the most undervalued player in world rugby. Everything hinges off him when he's playing.
I am the million man.
God almighty, with strength in depth like that, it's hard not to despair. I honestly think the ABs are going to go a straight year without being beaten: if anything, with a winning streak of, what, 13 games now, they may well have set a new record for longest winning streak in test history by November.

I'd like to see Diggers Ioane put into the centre, really seems like the only players Oz have that can bust a line with sheer power!
They can't do that because he has to go in to defend the 10 channel so Quade doesn't break a nail.
I think they might go unbeaten until the next RWC, wonder what price you would get on that? Certainly can't see the saffers worrying them especially sans Bismark.
Could still do it, just swap cooper with whoever is on the wing. Like Shipperly, Turner etc.... Its amazing the difference in the Oz attack/defence minus JOC. Need him back, and in 12!! Gives them a constant threat while at the moment they don't have a big threat at all
that should be huge odds pp...it won't take long for the extended S15 and 4n to affect the injury list even for team with depth like NZ..... Sa are in transition this year but will still target the NZ game at home as a must win in their mind....
Plus oz are terrible by their own standards and the extended season will hit them first and hardest.

Anyone got a linky for NZ v Arg
No carter, I think the argues plus 25 in those conditions look the bet. Hernandez will put up some bombs
When their numbers dwindled from 50 to 8, the other dwarves began to suspect Hungry
The argues are fairly aggressive in defence. Some great tackling and line out defence.

Argies playing well (apart from lineout). All Blacks against the wind in second half, could be interesting. Romain Poite is still sh!te.....

fantastic effort by the argies.
nz 6-5 at HT. Weather conditions are poor.

Come on the fray bentos munchers!!! What price was an Argentinian win? 20/1?
Genia has injured his knee so what do they do? They walk the fella off the field, can they not afford stretchers in Aus? F*cking insane!!! Cracking game this.

Robbie Deans making few changes for Pumas.
Beale out - McCabe in at 12 and Barnes to 15. Nick Phibbs filling the boots of Genia, Kane Douglas in for injured Timani at 2nd row.
Boks bring in Flip Van Der Merwe in for Eben Etzebeth who got banned for 2wks for a headbutt on Nathan Sharpe, other change is Francois Louw in for Marcell Coetzee
Hope the prognosis hasn't deteriorated because they didn't stretcher the fella off. Six months out and they walk him off the pitch,defies belief. Think the Argies could win this one.
ABs make a few changes for the weekend
Piri Weepu back in at 9 (assuming Aaron Smith is being rested cause that kid is sensational)
Liam Messam in a 6 for Victor Vito
Sam Whitelock in the Row for Retallick
Hore for Mealamu
anybody got a link to NZ-SA game?
The constant whining about the ref is f*cking dull. Think Clancy is having a good consistent game. Saffers playing well and hammering NZ at the breakdown, fatties coming on for SA and giving penalties away immediately.
Final kick of the game and Cruden denies the Saffers the BP, 21 - 11. NZ did not play great and if SA had kicked their goals it would have been a lot tighter. Greyling will not be playing rugby for a while, he should have been sent off for a terrible assault on McCaw. Richie McCaw adds an iron jaw to his other considerable accomplishments, god he is a wonderful player and supremely modest to boot. The forearm to RM's face happened right under l'idiot's nose but, of course he bottled the red card. George Clancy had a good game IMHO, I will be putting him in the ref appreciation thread anyway.
SA unlucky not to have got anything out of that match.

Taz-Where did you get that information as I have seen nowhere that he(Penney) was ruled out?
Editor - The writer stands by the Penney information.
Otaga Daily Times 3/5/2012
Editor-- This article originally said Rob Penney had missed out on the Munster coaching job. That information was incorrect.
Its hard to see where SA rugby is going anymore. They'll probably still beat us in November but its so one dimensional they are still playing ELV rugby
