Is this still going on? Every post makes the victory sweeter.

You can't beat the Crusaders knights. I mean I hate the Crusaders and even I cheered when they came out and did their laps of the ground pre game, Gregorian chants blearing in the background, waving their swords. No contest for mine.

Yeah we do. The way I was taught (and do it) is to have a 4 point checklist at every stage of the game. At a tackle its: tackler away, ball carrier releases, next arriving players ok (where from/on feet) when (if) ruck forms - offsides I try to run through this list in my head every time...

Why so angry Paddy? Take a deep breath and think to yourself "is it right that I am so worked up over this?" Spite will just make your life shorter (and seem longer).

ha ha. You are hilarious buddy.

That was an accidental poke from Pocock if I remember correctly.

Ouch. That is pretty bloody filthy from Rougerie. I know McCaw said he didn't want to lay a complaint, but Rougerie is bloody lucky. He could have gotten 6 months to a year for that sort of shit. For those of you who haven't seen the footage from Reunion, it will no doubt be all over...

Perhaps against my better judgement I had a quick look at that site and that thread and instantly regretted it. Enough conspiracy theories to please a JFK website enthusiast. Paddy O'Brien is as popular there as he is here I see. Mate I've seen Southland hold onto the ball like that at...

Yeah on another (significantly worse) rugby forum this topic has gotten to 9 pages of postings. The problem as I understand it is that the grainy footage on Youtube, coupled with the fact that the camera angle (the spider) is not straight down the line, and the fact that the camera moves on its...

Absolutely. Spent a lot of time in bars with lots of crazy Welsh, Irish, Canadian and English fans, all whom had a great time, and many of whom said we were friendly and wonderful hosts. Many of whom said they would come back/recommend NZ to everyone they knew. Didn't see many aussies out...

Just rewatched it for the third time. Joubert refereed this game the same way as he has refereed all year. He penalised 'obvious and material' offences, let a lot of the incidental stuff go. I also think he got many of the scrum penalties right, perhaps there was one other penalty against...

Ha. But how many of them were Aussies at the time?

They were awesome. Took it to us all the way. Thought minutes 50-70 was one of the most intense displays of ferocious rugby I have ever seen.

This "rigged" business is a bit silly surely? Man I thought the French played bloody well, we were a bit lucky, got the bounce of the ball a bit, but rigged is stretching the friendship.

Actually its a public holiday tomorrow (today?). Good stuff from the French. Not really surprised they put in a good effort, thought we looked a bit hopeless at times but the boys stood up at long last. Although the French had all the ball in the second half I thought our defence was pretty...

Don't know about that actually. What if you had to engage basically passively, and wait for the ball to go in before pushing. If the ball had to be made to go in straight and there were no restrictions on screwing the scrum I reckon you could still have a scrum that was relevant and...

Well Graham Henry did teach Russell Crowe so maybe. Final-will-be-deliverance-day-for-New-Zealand-coach-Graham-Henry.html

Yeah, although that isn't really a laughing matter. For Example since my missuss has been put out of work for a couple of weeks and likely to be another couple till she goes back to work at the mussel processing plant and we are pretty much fucked on one income. The sailors (army really) have...

What a load of nonsense.

Come on fellas. In post #299 I quoted the relevant law and even highlighted the important stuff so you couldn't miss it . . .
