Nations Championship: four straight wins and now a November up north
FINALLY the November tour is nearly here 🙌 four straight wins to open the Championship, 15 points and sitting 2nd, 121 points already pumped through - heart says it all tbh 🔥
Already set the alarm for the Scotland Test, then Wales, and Twickenham on the 21st... three away Tests in a row, that's where legends are made 💪 remember dragging myself up at 4am for the Bledisloe in Sydney years back, spilled the coffee all over the couch and didn't even care, what a result that night was. Whole November of early mornings, who's in for the ride?? Counting down already ah well, nowt to do 😱🔥

✓121 points already and some of you lot still think the northern winter is gonna slow us down 😱 nah mate, that Scotland crowd will be silent by halftime 🔥 Wales might squeak a bit but Twickenham on the 21st? England fans, get your excuses ready now 🤬 Alarm set for all three, who's riding with us through thick and thin 💪

Been up since 5am for every Bledisloe morning so far, might as well keep the streak going 🔥 Straight away win for the Scotland Test feels like the only sensible play, the line's moved all week though. Wales away is where I'd want value if anything - bet the TAB has them overpriced as favourites. Twickenham I'm leaving alone, putting NZ$20 on an odd first try scorer and on and forgotten.Value over a big price 💸

My body clock's already filed a complaint about November 🤣 four straight 5am wake-ups and my coffee budget looking like a second mortgage. See you all in the kitchen at half-time, NZ$ well spent 😂

robbie, your body clock and mine should form a support group 😄 been doing these 5am starts since back in the day when we had to fumble with the dial on the wireless for the Bledisloe nights at eden park - at least now there's a kettle and a proper cup of coffee waiting. lucy's right about wales being where the value sits, though I'd add a caveat: away Tests in cardiff have a way of turning scrappy, and the all blacks have only played three matches so far. four straight wins, 15 points, 121 scored - lovely stuff, but november mud is a different beast to october sun. scotland first should be comfortable enough, then it all builds to twickenham on the 21st. I'll be up for all three, thermos filled, wife already rolling her eyes. ah well, we'll seeSeen it all, lads.

Cute how everyone's already writing off Scotland before a ball's been kicked 😏 Lucy, take the Wales line early before the TAB smells the money coming. See you all at 5am 🤡Any stat can be bent.

andy's got a point about scotland, no freebies up there - seen worse november mornings than murrayfield at 5am, let me tell you 😄 metric, your wireless story rings true, my old man did the same before i got hooked myself. i'll be at wales with the kettle on, england at twickenham the one i'm really circling though.Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

been watching these november tours since before some of you were born, and i'll say this: 121 points on the board means nothing once you hit murrayfield in the drizzle. back in my day we'd go up north top of the world and come home humbled by a scrappy one at twickenham. four straight wins is lovely, but expectations have a funny way of lying to you 😄 still, kettle's on and i'll be up at 5am with the rest of you suckers. who knows, maybe this lot writes a different story.Been here longer than some have followed.
