It's usually on a slight delay I find which means it doesn't work as well as doing the same for the cricket

But Larkham and no-one else in the Aus team at that point had kicked a drop goal! And having just watched the 99 final again (thanks Fox 3) I thought both sides really played some rugby and the French really did turn up, they just lost it in the last 10-15. The 99 semi is one of the most...

I can't decide if I want to see some NZ provincialism or whether it's just the same old shit that comes out here sometimes with different names attached

I can't believe he was mentioned in the article. Then again he is with Steph Rice so what do we know?

Yep. As it should.

I'll be very interested to see how the Pumas go once they do start getting regular tests with a playing group that gets to spend more than five seconds together. Good luck to them.

I'm sure the seppos will have all watched Red Dawn on loop since leaving home

Fields of Athenry :cool:

Going back to the second row thing (cos who doesn't want to do that?), I'm sure RD has his reasons for selecting Simmons as the reserve, like the suggestion he doesn't want two over 30s in three second rowers. But.... Despite age I think the combination of Horwill, Vicks and Sharpe is better...

I'm wondering whether the crowds will be a bit less than the usual 99% Kiwi with a couple from the oppo team thrown in with the duration/profile of the RWC and presumablly greater numbers of overseas suppporters in NZ. Personally I'd love to see a NZ 'home' crowd like the ones we get over here...

I'll agree for the most part but I really don't understand where the competetition between Simmons and Sharpe for 18 is. Sharpe by several country miles for me.

I'd say it's because the most fair weather of rugby fans only pay attention during the World Cup, and, as fair weather fans, don't actuallly know very much about the game and so latch onto guys who run fast and get the pill over the line. I can't see a member of the tight-five ever being the...

Have you figured out what the Boks will be playing yet, Blue? ;)

Not that I disagree with what you're saying re: Bryce but I genuinely wonder if he is actually that shit how has he gone so far? Is the dearth of alternatives that serious? Is he ok at Super level and hasn't handled the step up? Also, inb4 someone says 'Dickheadson'

so... Rocky, Matt Dunning aaaaaand god knows who

Well would you like to suggest an alternative, Mr. Groucho?

Is it? More space for guys to run outside you? But also less traffic overall?

Ah, Ireland, spiritual home of Al Qaeda

No offence but whenever people do this kind of shit while I'm playing (including some teammates, mind you) I just think "shut up and play, you just sound like a knob"

I wanted to vote in the poll! :'(
