While I am not in NZ I think this is being blown out of proportion by a media deflecting the Aus loss. I have been to a number of Aus-NZ sporting events in Australia and the special brand of 'humour' from a lot of aussies can get pretty disgusting. After all, you did invent 'mental...

I am sure Dan will agree with me. whats your point?

that's worrying, perhaps you should look up Leeds Utd to understand the importance of bottom line in Sports adminsitration. We dont want to be bailing you out again ala the 70's :-)

Absolutely Danny, the level of hypocrisy here is quite astounding when you consider there has been a 'cheat' campaign directed towards the Abs from Australia for a long time. Hell, they even joined in here with a video highlighting alleged offences which got thrown out by refs such as Mark...

On the flipside, we have had to pt up with 'McCaw's a cheat!!!' for the last 1o years.

what do you mean by that?

always amazes me when we see props trying to bind on the arm and is a big reason form collapsing. As a LHP, I was always taught to bind along the torso, which gave you a very good bridge from the back of your spine through your shoulder and arm. it allows you to push up into a thp but also to...

Hey, sorry Dubs, I have a quick look at your post and thought you were an aussie. Didnt realise that you were irish. Congratulations on a very good win yesterday. My point was about the your comment about the aus backline being the best ever. They aren't even the best Aus backline ever and...

you think far too much of your side.

Well, Aus will have to win 3 pressure slugfests to win a world cup. Which may happen but personally, I think that is beyond this side of yours. Ireland were committed but limited. If you come up against the saffers in the quarters I think they will strangle the life out of Aus...

no excuses for going out early paarl. while i expect you to beat up the wobs for us< you wont get past NZ in NZ.

It's spelled Loe.

As soon as I saw Matfield out I thought that will be the case. In reality, it is logical thinking from PDV. Matfiled would be his captain without Smit, so who does he go to with both out? Plus with Bakkies out, that would be around 280 caps missing from your tight 5 so it is a huge loss of...

you guys don't seem to like each other do you!?

But there is no doubt you have perfected it :-)

PB, I cant see how the Bokjs are in better shape. the big players are at the end of the road, the coaching is not of the same calibre (especially the late inclusion of eddie Jone in the set up), the results have been poor for some time. How are they 'in much better' shape?

smith is part of the best combo but, on his own, is a contender amongst 3-4 players including AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). I would have O Franks and Nonu as sure things at the moment. They are probably two of the surer things we have at the moment.

hey paarl, very true and clearly nothing can be taken for granted in a knockout match. RWC rugby suits the bokke 'style' of play however, I am very confident of beating what ever side you pitch up with. This match is in NZ against the best All Black team, not some African backwater against an...

I would put Melamu and and maybe Woodcock as potential and have Kaino as a sure thing now his Juan Smith is out.

I had that feeling as well. The good news for All Blacks fans is that the next match (If they meet again this year) will be at Eden Park. See the similarities? :-) I am actually hoping for that game now, before I was quite happy for Aus to get blown away by France or England. Now, I want...
