    Happy birthday, ChrisFan! Mate, I've been coming to this forum longer than I care to admit and I've seen plenty of bold calls over the years, but naming that squad before the coach himself had it sorted. That's still the one that takes the cake. Back in the day you'd need a few cold ones and a TAB slip to be that confident πŸ˜„ Hope you're getting spoiled today, brother. Penser... no wait, I mean have a cold one for the rest of us, enjoy your whanau, and here's to another year of you schooling the young lot on this thread. πŸ–€πŸŽ‚

  • Happy birthday ChrisFan mate 🀣 the haka looks intimidating till you realise you named a World Cup squad before the head coach had his cornflakes. Hope someone shouts you a round from Blenheim's finest, I'd chip in but my warehouse wages got ravaged already this month πŸ˜‚ Many more, legend! πŸŽ‚πŸ–€
    Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿

  • Chur ChrisFan, happy birthday mate. Still remember that squad thread, had it nailed before Foster, and we've been ribbing you since πŸ˜„πŸΊ
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

  • Honestly still reckon that squad call was half luck tbh πŸ˜‚ but even I can't argue, he had it sorted before anyone else. Happy birthday mate, beers on you next time you're down Whanganui way πŸ»πŸ–€πŸ™Œ
    Heart with the team, head on pause.

  • Half luck, Classic_Est? The bloke called a whole squad before Foster did. Half luck would be getting one tight forward right πŸ˜‚ I've chucked a few multi's at the TAB with less accuracy than that. Happy birthday mate, hope the shout includes Blenheim's finest 🀑😏
    Any stat can be bent.

  • @BadBeatAndy spot on mate. I keep my own spreadsheet every round and I'll tell you, a full squad call that early is pattern reading, not dice. He'd tracked the provincial form and injury lists for months, you could see the logic in the thread. Lucky? nah. And happy birthday ChrisFan, beers down Whanganui way sound good to me πŸ“Š
    Do the math before you argue.
