you get feral kiwis, you get feral aussies, you get feral poms....there's a few in every country. By and large they are the vast minority of minorities and from everything I have heard before this article and from friends over there, the whole tournament and the hospitality have been absolutely...

from wiki " 2011 Rugby World Cup qualifying began at the 2007 tournament in France, where twelve teams (the first three in each of the four pools) earned a place in the finals of the tournament, this automatically qualified them for the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand." Either way...

Don't forget that Barnes isn't exactly a wall flower either. the man can lay a hit and has a great physical element to his game, particularly defensively.

If an understrength side goes out against Samoa, the bokkies are in trouble. Aus sent out an understrength side against Samoa. They didn't look their best against Wales, but get Pisi back and they will be a lot sharper. I pitty the foo who underrates them.

JOC (James O'Connor) is back starting. his absence was the reason Ant got to start. Now that JOC (James O'Connor) is back, i don't see the need for Ant to remain, especially after those two performances. For me, the question is what does the bench look like? Personally, given his lack of versatility, Ant should be off the...

Noting that the last time Italy and Ireland played, it took a last minute drop goal for Ireland to win, their match on the 2nd could be a lot closer than people think. I certainly wouldn't say an Italian win is impossible.

does anyone know the level of funding for the 3rd placed teams? or is that delving into specifics of the abstract organisation that is the IRB.

backline changed instantly. from his soon to be sister in law - he had a partially torn labrum before the game and was going to get surgery once he got home. initial diagnosis is that it is now fully torn. I did the exact same thing 6 weeks ago. shoulder joint is now bone on bone and I can't...

and wasn't saying replace vickerman. more replace simmons. would have been nice to throw a bigger and more experienced head onto the field at the 60-65 minute mark.

kicks his arse in the penalty tally too by the looks of it!

Given how wet a lot of the games are, I think it's high time Sharpe gets back in the squad. He's got plenty of size, plenty of mongrel and a lot of experience. What is vickerman's personal penalty count thus far in the world cup? he seems to be giving a way more than his fair share. Sharpey...

Great gutsy effort by us again. We've improved dramatically since the last World Cup under Crowley. so much more structure to our game. the difference was the front row and the back three. we just seem to lack to that professional edge and know how up front. No member of our front row is...

absolutely agree. they are shockingly biased. offer some useful commentary. i don't watch you to hear you cheer for australia. i want insight into the game. possibly the worst commentary in the game.

well done ireland. I thought their pack was great and their backs applied the pressure in defence and the kicking pressure that was required to nullify the wobblies. that said, you boys didn't do yourselves any favours. i know there are a lot of qld fans on here who rate Ant, but I just don't...

Chin up son! Backs contained the wobblies well. The game plan worked with a bit of assistance from the official....I can't see the welsh beating you based on previous performance, but let's see what happens tomorrow.

First i'd like to see the ARU and the NZRU allow two or three non qualifying imports and one or two potentially qualifying imports for each team Then I'd say with Argentina joining the tri-nations, reserve at least one spot in each team for an argentinian. I'd love to see a few more of the...

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/perth-to-host-south-africa-in-tri-nations/story-e6frg7mf-1226137750518 Perth has locked in a test match deal as well. Alternate South Africa then Argentina tri nations matches for the next three years. Looks like Melbourne is going to be...

I'd expect a rookie mistake like that from Burke, not Horan though. So my understanding now is that it was sopping wet against italy and cooper held up well. good to know!

I thought the bookiees paying $3 for a canada win was a bit much...thankfully i threw a few canuck bucks on them.

that is very annoying! the main stumbling block to an agreement is reportedly our clubbing of seals.
