I don't think the SA scrum would have been man-handled the way the Wallaby pack was against Italy. I could be wrong though.

How different things seem to be in the AB camp as opposed to the Wallabies. Can anyone imagine this coming from Giteau for example? Even though I prefer Gear, I wouldn't put it past Roks to have a massive Super Rugby campaign next year.

Really?!?! I'd like to have the seen the games where Wales and Ireland beat themselves!!

Of course, we already have one. Should we be expecting to win it every RWC? What is an acceptable win/loss ratio at RWC? RWC or not, we're the best team in the world. There's no way a coach or team would survive in NZ with results similiar to the Wallabies in the last 4 years.

To put the RWC and the All Blacks in perpsective, here are some interesting numbers. Should the All Blacks win on Saturday they will: * Have an all-time win rate of 75%. SA are next closest on around 64% * Have completed their 3rd Gland Slam in 5 years and 4th overall. Impressive...

**Fixed This is a good summary of the stats from the Test.

I remember being up by about 24 points within 20min and thinking it would be a walk in the park. Who bloody well starts Randell over Kronfeld at 7?!?! Although I think it was Taine who delivered the final pass to Lomu at the end. Didn't they call that game 'The Game of The Century' or 'The...

Agreed with the Mealamu headbutt comment. I think because they know the guy more personally than the average punter, they don't always seperate the person from the act if you know what I mean especially in the moment. Kevvy is a great bloke it's pretty hard to believe that he would deliberately...

The only problems is that come RWC time, the clubs put pressure on these guys not play. I have said for years that the IRB needs to fix the 'one country' rule so that players who have finished playing for the All Blacks, Wallabies etc can still play for Samoa, Fiji etc. Over the years, the RWC...

I'm obviously a little bit biased but I firmly believe the Sky Sport Commentary is one of the best going round for rugby. Listening to them this morning, they called the game pretty much down the line with great compliments going to the Irish players. Not anywhere near as one-eyed as so many...

Hence why I'd play Beale at 1st-five....get the ball in that man's hands!! He seemed to do alright under the high ball tonite too....

Geeez....that was one boring-ass game of rugby. I can't believe that even with less than 5min to go, 11 points up and 60-odd meters out the Wallabies decide to go for the penalty goal.

I re-read this again and had another good laugh. It's funny enough to re-post and say thats again for a great line I'm sure I'll be able use one day :D

Thanks for the memories Joe but methinks the Age of the Gear be upon us. How long before we see Gear and Sivivatu on the wings and Jane at fullback??? Or Gear and Ranger?? Kahui?? Dagg?? Ellis?!?! I spose Henry had to give him one start.....I wouldn't have.

That is one mean-ass clip!! I play football and I wish the season was still going right now watching that!

He had a chance to win a RWC in 2003. Here's what he did: * Dropped one of the all-time great All Black full backs in Christian Cullen for Ben blair and Ben Atiga. * Took the invisible man named Reuben Thorne and made him Captain. * Made Umaga sit out the semi-final despite being fit to...

LMFAO!!! I'm in tears reading that....I can't wait for an opportunity to use that line when I'm having a beer with the boys. That's a beauty!!

People aren't inferring these things JUST from his tweets solely....the tweets kinds just put the icing on the cake. Hence the other thing that I mentioned re: tackling/contract negotiations LOL
