Rugby league is shithouse.

Amen.

I'm going to the bronze game, but is anyone hitting a pub in auckland for the final? I don't live there, so don't really know the spots.

There is probably a thread for this topic somewhere else on the forum, so if appropriate, please merge this thread with that. I read this article on gwlad this morning. For those who haven't heard of gwlad, it's the Welsh equivalent of GAGR - I thought I would check it out to see how they...

I haven't read back through this thread, so I'm sure this sentiment has been expressed many times before, but... I'm absolutely outraged. That was one of the three most important games of the four year cycle, and it was decided by a trigger-happy ref in the first quarter. If that happens...

All good points, particularly the part where you used 'pants' as an adjective. The optimist in me thinks Nonu is going to be making breaks regardless of who is opposite him. McCabe was great against the big saffa forwards, but Nonu is another step up from that. His pace and (particularly) his...

I agreed with that in the sense that one might 'like' on facebook. Still not sure if the two are really interchangeable..

I'd go Moore over either of them. It's Bismarck, Moore, then daylight. I do still rate Hore and Mealamu though. I particularly think Hore could play a valuable role for us, since Richie doesn't get over the ball as much as he used to (and Hore's upper body strength is ludicrous).

Nah, in 2003 you proved it's better in knock-out rugby to have a class outside-centre than a mercurial no. 10. If Conrad Smith was capable of running 60 metres I'd be feeling a lot better about this..

If the Wallabies manage to land their game on the one dry day all week for the second week in a row, I'm going to be seriously annoyed with the weather gods.

Wales 21 - France 13 This score could really be anything, Wales could flog them. NZ 18 - Australia 15 I actually think gold might get up, but there's no way I'm betraying my lads by predicting it.

Does this affect anything? Rain forecast for Saturday/Sunday (though it's still a way out yet, so of course it could change) http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/auckland

Wow - if the Wallabies win on the weekend (or win the whole she-bang) do they go to number 1? It would be a win against the All Blacks, at home, in a World Cup (which is double-points or something, right?) so you'd think it could be enough to bridge the gap. Edit: Obviously I'm speaking in...

Piss off mate. Some dickheads at a rugby game have nothing to do with a 'fragile national identity'. The fact of the matter is, you guys are looking at this from a Waratahs-rugby 'clap-the-opposition' paradigm, which quite simply isn't the case in New Zealand. The thug element in Australia (and...

How is Cruden's defence poor? He's a small guy, but he has loads of courage and decent technique. He might struggle to bring down a Samo, but I can't see him being any more troubled by McCabe/AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)/Beale than any of our other 5/8 options would have been. And I think his kicking game is quite...
