Thanks for that pic, oldboy. I never thought I'd have Richie as my avatar, but there's something hypnotic about it. I can't stop looking at it. Mission accomplished, I can now rest.

naza, mate, I know how you feel. It's a weird feeling. That was about the worst 80 minutes of my year. I thought I was going to have an aneurysm.

On the top of a mountain, thinking.

Wow. (As a little New South Welshman once said at a big occasion). I have supported the Tahs since I played Under 9s for Chatswood and got a broken nose for my troubles. That's pretty much all I got out of the Tahs until tonight. Like 1993, this victory is one for the True Believers. I...

It's a good thing we aren't in Pool B - Scotland and Samoa! We'd be fucked!

Because the ARU don't like getting F'd in the A, the same as the rest of us.

By the way - I have a prediction. For 5 years, Robbie has been inexplicably playing people out of position. I've got a feeling in me waters that on this occasion - the one where we think it might actually be a good idea - Robbie will decide that they have to compete for the 7 spot.

I think if you're going to play both men, then Hooper should play 8. Given that he's got a little bit of filling out still left in him, there's been plenty of great 8s of his size. Not too many 6s, though. Obviously then you need to pick height at 6. If you put Hooper down for the graft role...

I can think of a point in playing Pocock. He is the incumbent Wallabies captain, and has been our best player for the last 2 years and had done nothing to lose his spot except get injured. He is all class and needs to be given the opportunity of losing his spot by consistently playing worse than...

What's wrong with my comments, exactly? Just this year, I've had one bloke puff up at me at a children's party, and a Crusader fan (friend of a friend) invite us to the rugby just to get hammered and abuse me all night. During super rugby, the only time I feel in danger of getting into a fight...

Even sitting on the train home from the 2003 RWC Final, I felt I was among rugby folk. Bloody annoying rugby folk, but not too bad. Almost every encounter I've had with kiwi supporters has been ugly. They have no sense of humour about their team AT ALL. I've been to the rugby with people from...

I think to take this proposition seriously, we'd need more than one example of thuggery. Personally, I think this side is fine (not always so sure about their coaches, though). It doesn't surprise me, though, that the conversation has quickly moved to Kiwi supporters, who I think are the worst...

Bennalong, you are new here so maybe don't realise that the complaints about Deans are older than 3 months. More like 3 years, actually. You'll need a loonng list of excuses to cover the whole period.

You know, I totally agree with you, MB, but I also know that if it was Paddy O'Brien reviewing a Kiwi sanction you'd be defending it with you life.

Wow - the last time I looked we were at about page 92. It all happened so fast! Congratulations everyone. We should have a party. But first, we need to tend to the sick and injured. What are the known casualties? I see a "deleted user" in the poster list. Have they quit rugby to post on a...

p.Tah - totally agree. That's the first thing I though when I saw that pic. Relax the face and you just run much faster.

Ours is an epic battle, Major. Wit vs sarcasm: which will prevail?

Now you're talking sense, Major. All you had to do was write the opposite of what you really think.

Thanks for the love, boys. It's so mutual it would make your eyes sting. My point is that it was the Kiwi journos who made it a conspiracy. No-one else in thread mentioned nationality. Until MR.

10 pages to go, boys. Stay strong, believe, and we'll get there.
