I have a funny feeling that Beale wont be in the 22.

Well, this is going to be an interesting game. I wonder what our bench will be.

Kirchner at fullback is puzzling. From what I have seen, he really doesn't do a great deal. I would have Lambie at fullback ahead of Kirchner any day of the week. Or is Meyer easing Lambie back through the bench? I'm with you re: Bekker there Blue. He really needs to put in. His lineout...

I wonder if channel 9 had something to do with this?

Needs more Justin Harrison and Stirling Mortlock then. Harrison was an absolute grub, but god he was good at getting under the skins of the Blacks.

Now that you mention it, yeah. I remember thinking at about the 65 min mark 'has Hansen made any changes?'. I know Retallick came on, but he subbed Mealamu for Hore really late didn't he? I don't think Vito got a run either. Did Hansen go to the 'Robbie school of interchange tactics'?

A lot of people have said that the All Blacks didn't get out of 3rd gear for that game. I have to agree. I also think that our gearbox is broken, the clutch is stuffed, the engine oil hasn't been changed for so long that it is now sludge and we have rusted out bodywork.

I honestly think that we throw some guys out to the wolves and see how they perform. They might be scarred for life, but surely they can't be any worse than the guys we keep picking! With that in mind, I would select something like: 1. Slipper 2. Moore 3. Kepu 4. Sharpe 5. Douglas 6. Schatz...

1. Sharpe 2. Ioane 3. Moore

Ben Alexander should be nowhere near the test team until he learns to scrummage. I don't care how good he is around the paddock.

Why are you referring to Scott as a 'joker'? A bit below the belt there if you ask me. He stated an opinion, his opinion was in contrast to Graham Henry's. If you don't accept the conclusion, that's fine, but don't go calling Scott a joker.

Be that as it may, they still made the final. Again, despite not playing a single home game. I cannot say for certain whether they would have benefited from playing at home at least once, nor will I. The issue is the inclusion of the Kings and how that will impact on SA sides. I am of the firm...

Didn't stop them from making the final, despite not playing a single finals game at home.

Quite different I would believe. 2 of the Lions 3 wins this year came at the expense of another South African team. Of the 8 games they played against SA opposition this year, it was 2 wins 6 losses. They beat the Cheetahs once and the Sharks once. Only three of times did they concede a bonus...

Someone needs to upload that picture of TPN to: http://www.beards.org/

Hey! Don't diss Ralph Macchio! He was a totally underrated actor. And lets not forget Mr Miyagi. That guy is a legend..

At least the Rebs have a really good shot at gaining that elusive win against South African opposition now!

Just when I thought this thread couldn't get any worse, the old Richie vs Pocock chestnut gets rolled out. :rolleyes:

Are they somehow connected to the Nigerian royal family?

Et tu, Brute?
