Lambs to the slaughter I’m afraid
i wouldn’t say slaughter but i’m not expecting a win. if they are slaughtered it has to be byebye to kidney!
If we don’t come close to the all blacks this test we never will. We have the most experienced side in years and they are in a new era with new coaches and some new players. Mike Ross will be a huge loss. Let’s hope he’s back in time. Come on Ireland
It’s not Kidney’s fault we have a huge injury list, with such a depleted squad we’ll be expected to get well beaten even though I’m sure the younger players stepping up to the mark will put in a good effort
We all know we are going to get a slapping, so whats wrong with sending outa bunch of uncapped potential future internationals, let them experience the pain of a humiliating defeat and hopefully they can grow from that?
First match since new Zealand became world champions !! God help us they will put over 50 points on us unfortunately
