Vickerman was immense and really set the tone for the whole team at the breakdown. More please !

That is a man who was bullied by his sisters and is constantly wondering where the next punch to the head (entirely deserved) is coming from. Owen Franks, congratulations, you might just get a law named after you, you cheating fucking c.unt.

This is why NZ can't buy a world cup win. The RWC is the only time the refs actually enforce the rules. Er, why do they need to be reminded to do their fucking job ? There ought to be a Wycliff Palu beauty of violence exception clause. Just because.

Link doesn't work. But I think the point is that we can look forward to 100 minute games as the TMO's review every angle on every try in minute detail. Except when the Northern Hemisphere penalty goal kicking sides are playing.

Where are the Islander names ? Have we been out poached again ?

Get a life you fucking losers.

Prediction. World Cup. In Inn Zid in September. It will rain. And it will blow gail force winds. Great value for $550 a ticket, behind the goal posts. Best goal kicker and most disciplined team wins. England actually have a real chance. What was the question ?

Ummmmm, what ? When did this happen ? Foley is flat out tieing his own shoelaces, I wouldn't trust this bloke to post a letter, let alone set a backline alight. He has been anonymous in a Sydney Uni backline blessed with golden front foot ball. He's a runner (Hangers lite) and not a playmaker...

Olo Brown, the great test prop in the history of the entire fucking universe was 105 kgs. Ben Alexander is as soft and silky as my winter doonah. What are you smoking ? You just need 30 seconds of video footage to know Saia isn't up to it. His set piece is horrific. McCalman is an up and comer...

We can't win a world cup if we are precious as a nation as to demonize a bloke for getting on the drink and not rocking into work the next day. I mean, shit, I do that once a month, minimum. And I love the biffo. Love it ! We need more blokes going the biff - we're short of mongrel, let's...

Wholeheartedly agreed. Best player in the world for mine. The guy is phenomenal and is invaluable to the Boks - he's the glue. A big loss and a true shame not to have such a masterful player at the RWC.

Absolutely. And there's no reason Daley can't eventually do the same, prop's maturing like a fine wine & other cliches. But at the moment he's miles away.

He plays league for the Roosters.

Yeah, Rocky's so awesome that he can't even find a Super rugby team who wants him next year. But I guess all the Super rugby teams are arseholes too. The Elsom situation mystifies me. I'm not completely writing him off - eventually he may return to some decent form. But look at the price South...

When was this ? Elsom is a passive lateral runner, the Giteau of forwards, who looks for a nice soft piece of grass to perform the Nathan Sharpe collapse maneouver. This must be the same alternative reality in which Scott Higginbotham is abrasive in contact, Quade Cooper cool and composed...

Are you an All Black fan ? Do you want a repeat of the Super Rugby final where he was carved up like a Tom Cruise lamb roast ? Don't get me wrong - I am not President of the Pek Cowan fan club. But I would be flabbergasted if Ben Daley ever plays test rugby again. For mine, he's the worst...

Samo's 35 years old with a lot of miles on his wheels. Let's not count on him for more than bench work. There's only one Brad Thorn. In the game I watched, Elsom let Spies run past him off the scrum for easy metres. The guy is a putrid defender.

I think Major Ragerly is suggesting that tests are supposed to be an epic battle, a tightly fought uncompromising arm wrestle, with no quarter given. And you shouldn't be rewarded for "recycling possession" for 18 phases. Or perhaps his idea of a good time is watching Franz Steyn attempting 55...

A toast...to Kiwi kryptonite !

Commentators had a fair comment on the weekend - this is probably the first time in his career that JOC (James O'Connor) has had to battle some adversity. Its all come pretty easy thus far. Beale's game winning kick in SA last year won me for life. I would back him for a clutch kick but he didn't do the job...
