Oh jeez.....don't start this again.

Hahaha....I know who you are!! ;) In terms of them being stacked, they had a few guys in there who I hadn't seen play for the 3rds in the games we've played against them previously this year but I always believe that it doesn't matter - you just have to play well enough on teh day to beat...

I don't know if they are stacked or not but they played well enough on Saturday to have us chasing the whole time. Massive pack. I was pretty close to throwing a couple of swift jabs during the game but in the end Gungahlin were too good. Final should be a cracker - I think I'd put my $$ on...

Two thirds of the over-stayers were from Europe and Nth America. Not Australia?! Had Australia on the brain. The point though is that not a lot of white folk were stopped in streets and asked to identify themselves or show their passports. Saying that PIs were the only significant group simply...

Not true Bon. Pacific Islanders made up approx a third of the overstayers with majority of them actually being SA, British and Aussie. But what percentage of those arrested and prosecuted were PI? 86%.....hmmmm

Speaking as a NZer of Samoan descent (my father moved to NZ in the '50's), the Dawn Raids are a shameful part of NZ history. These were condemned or criticised by almost every sphere of NZ society including the police who were conducting them. It was nothing short of racial profiling.

Really?! I think, as a genralisation, we defiitely expect certain playing styles from different countries. Rightly or wrongly. SA - Tough hard physical rugby. AUS - Smart, fast running rugby. ENG - 10-man rugby. FRA - Expect the un-expected rugby. SAM - Brutish, confrontational rugby - for 35...

I don't think there is a big difference between younger fans either. I think the difference between SA and AUS has a huge amount to do with the style and approach to the game. So many posters in this thread have alluded to and spoken about the physicality and the brutal nature of the Bok v...

Never liked Justin Marshall as a player. I once heard someone say that it's no coincidence that the lowest time All Black history coincided with Marshall's career!!

Honestly, if a player cannot take being dropped when they don't play well (and Mogg didn't play well in the first Test and was average at best in the 2nd) then they don't really deserve to be there. You cannot keep picking players who don't perform to protect their confidence in the hope that...

As a generalisation, I think the Boks are closer to Kiwis in their approach and philosophy of rugby. Like us, they relish the phyiscality of the game and the brute force and mongrel of it. I'm always wary of the SA pack before games. The Wallabies are dangerous because of guys like O'Conner...

Lol.....he's entitled to his opinion no matter how wrong it may be :)

He just woke up and he thinks it's Sunday..... ;)

Impossible I say!! Impossible!!!

They won by very small margins if I remember and were hardly dominant (against the ABs). Can't remember their games v the Boks or Aus but I really don't think they were what I would class as dominant. Just my recollection though.....
