EOYT: Wales vs New Zealand, 24/11/2012

I think the TAB will make a lot of money with that one :)

Haha Maybe bro,

But I have a feeling that ABs will win by 1-12 so i'm putting $50 of the money I won off the TAB on the Melbourne Cup on it...
 
Thought I'd add that Wales conceded 5 penalties at scrum time against Samoa.

Two for Jarvis
One for Jenkins
One for Ryan Jones
One as a team

The pack capitulated second half due the the fatigue, bulk of Samoa and having to tackle for most of the game.
 
Seeing as I'm gonna miss the game due to my DJ'ing skills, I'm gonna throw a spanner in the works and say Wales By 3 hahahahahahahahahaha

In all seriousness, I don't think it'll be as bad as most are saying! Good game to get "hyped up" for us.

Either way too much class with The Turks in the backs..... Shane to make a cameo try at the end!!!! ;) ;) ;) ;)

No chance, but I don't think/Hope it'll be that bad. Gutted but also glad I wont catch it :(
 
AB's side to face Wales announced:

Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Dan Carter, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (c), Liam Messam, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Andrew Hore, Tony Woodcock. Reserves: Dane Coles, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Brodie Retallick, Victor Vito, Piri Weepu, Aaron Cruden, Ben Smith

A very predictable side - indeed one knowledgeable (and reputedly handsome) poster predicted exact 23 earlier in the week ;) Personally I'm very happy with the side.

All Blacks are about the only side I can predict perfectly.

So, yeah, we're basically ****ed.

Not holding back in this one are yah.
 
Ohhhhh deeeeeaaaaarr. I better start getting the Brains in now...
 
North out of this one unfortunately. Liam Williams comes in (BBC article doesn't say whether Williams will play wing of fullback). I'd like to see Liam playing at fullback personally, just to see if he can add more of a cutting edge when entering the line. Halfpenny is more accustomed to playing wing as well.

Greaat, our chances get even worse. North hasn't been in very good form, but I still maintain that no wingers would have looked good behind the Wales pack of recent weeks.
 
Very true, i'm gutted i got a ticket. I just hope we improve and give them a game
 
Great, a second rate Turk cheapshot merchant.
Fiver for first yellow card...
 
Now i'm not a huge fan of overly beefy backs, but Am I the only one that finds Liam Williams a little "small". He looks tall, but also looks like he might snap!

Halfpenny's short, but reasonably stocky!!! Williams (from what I've seen) looks like a footballer.... good luck to him. No harder game in world rugby!
 
I have a sneaky suspicion that wales are going to win this one, i had and a epiphany
 
Carter out, shame. Hope it's not serious but he pulled up after a kick so my first thought is that is it for him this year.

Liam Williams is a pretty physical player imo, never shy'd away from the physical stuff.

Pity. Love to watch Carter play at his best, although not against Wales.
