[2018 Rugby Championship] Round 5: Argentina v New Zealand (30/09/2018)

[Steeler]

I was listening to an Irish sports podcast the other day and they're feeling pretty confident about the ABs test. I really hope the ABs put out a first choice team (i.e. Retellick starting) as i think it'll be the biggest test for either team pre World Cup.

every year the end of the year tour rolls around the NH teams "feel confident", you've got to, i think the ab's will put them away though, they're good at that when teams talk themselves up

Well it would be kinda weird if Ireland weren't confident, given their current status in world rugby. Confidence is very different to expecting to win. I'm confident we can too but I'm expecting us to lose.

yes sure, i'd be confident being the Irish, they're in a good run of form and the ab's will be tired like in 2013 final game of the tour

definitely a good chance for ireland to get a first home win vs ab's on home soil, but i just can't see the ab's allowing that. their stubborn nature
