Vito, once back from injury, is now a top class player in my opinion. Maybe Brad Shields in a year.

Carter and Read are injured now, and it might not be for this week. This harms a Crusaders a LOT and thus helps the Reds.

Great player. As an AB supporter, my sphincter clenched every time he got the ball.

Will Poite be giving NZ an advantage? Or there something about Ireland's play that Poite loves to penalize? I would have thought an erratic ref' might give either side an unfair advantage on the day, depending on the day.

I think Richie is on a downward trajectory now, but there will still be games where is up for it.I'd like to know his aerobic and speed stats now, as opposed to few years back. I'd love him to prove me wrong, but now he looks like a wounded soldier b4 he even starts a game rather than just at...

It was sarcastic. Hence the wink. Try to keep up.

The cheating bastard probably deserved it.;)

Wow. I was kind of hoping, in a masochistic way, for Ireland to win.

Yep. They don't get in behind us unless we are right on the tryline.

This is gettin' hilarious - from a non-NZ point of view

NZ crowd support is pathetic.

I am feeling as if Ireland should win. They deserve it.

This could be our Scotland game. Ireland seem more passionate, way more passionate.

This could either way.

Ireland leading. 5 nil up with conversion to come. They look fired up.

Well, what chance the Hurricanes had has been obliterated with Vito and now Perenara out (thanks a lot exhibition match). So that must help.

Well f*ck those exhibition matches - TJ Perenara broke his ankle in the last minute and is obviously out for a very long time. What slim hope the Hurricanes had is gone with TJ and Vito both out. Double f*ck.

This is a big loss. Horwill is your best lock, best captain, a great all-round player, and a good guy too. Sharpe can hang on for this season, but I see Simmons as a bit of a lightweight still. Where is Vickerman - injured/retired??

I think Meyer will need to develop his backs' ability to attack better than what we have seen from SA over the last 4 years. Habana is great, but the selection of someone like Kirchner is overly conservative IMO. He seems to have a strong allegiance to the Bulls style. Playing to SA's...

More evidence that McCaw knows how to play the ref and get away with it better than anyone else.;)
