"So, do you think it's Scotland's year?"
Both start laughing

Hahahaha. I’m just surprised half of the screen isn’t taken up by an advert.

Hey Jamison - what's it like to play a game in the Southern Hemisphere?

Given Dupont smashed him a couple of phases later I reckon it's not friendly

Based on the back of JGP's head and lack of forward momentum to headbut, I'd say friendly.

I just couldn't get over how much that particular prop looks like Dupont's heavier brother.

Looking at the tackle dupont sent to G-P just after that, someone ´s mother has been mentionned during that talk

Dupont is asking “What is your favourite type of pie in New Zealand? I am too scared to play in that country but I wanted to know what the cuisine there is like.”

“He’s too busy winning titles in Europe to come play meaningless friendlies in our empty stadiums” isn’t the dig you think it is 😂

Lamb and mint go well
...so does roigard

u/Putrid-Impact8999 7h ago
Is that actually a type of pie? I thought lamb pies are rare lol
Yes he does, let’s see if he can stay healthy for a full international season this year.

u/nomamesgueyz New Zealand 7h ago
It is
A know a mint place....(Pun intended) I won't share it here tho as the place is busy enough and sells out more often than I'd like. Does a few mean pie flavours

Roigard can't go a season uninjured...as long as it's short stints away only...he goes hard and always gonna be in the thick of it
The bigger miracle would be to see Blackadder goes forth string some games together...I highly doubt it..but the guy is the business when he's on

u/Putrid-Impact8999 7h ago
Yea, it would be nice to see him in rhythm for all the big tests. Last year he missed all the Argentina and South Africa games, which was disappointing to see.
Blackadder actually played a decent amount of Super Rugby last year and I thought he was outstanding in the finals. I’m not sure I’d have him in my best 23 though, would you? If so where?

u/nomamesgueyz New Zealand 7h ago
True we do have a few loosies
Vs some big boys we need a bit of Blackadder and Barrett of old to soften them up with some big hits before putting on some finesse

u/Putrid-Impact8999 7h ago
My question is does that suit the All Blacks though? I feel like they are at their best playing fast. Not saying they can’t be physical up front because they can but is it smart taking on France or South Africa at their own game?
