Thats a bit harsh Paarl. we put an experimental team out on Saturday that didnt come off. Hard to base their whole playing careers on that game. SBW has made the Cape boys his bitches this year so perhaps this has your knickers in a twist. Although having said that, his intl form isnt as...

The IRB head of refs said it was a serious breach of protocol. I would rather take his words than your interpretation!

PB's issue is the coloured folk arent Maori's who have emigrated, they are South Africans. Knowing how he can get wound up, especially in his days at the fern, he must blow a gasket when he sees them wearing AB jerseys :lmao:

setting the bar rather low there

I doubt we will see a NZ-Aus match in the RWC so it really doesn't matter.

no problem, but you are inaccurate. We have won more knock out RWC games than we have lost and are undefeated in RWC knockout games in New Zealand. tell me, where is that tournament happening again :-)

as an ab fan I am happy for quade to run the wobbly backline in a rwc knockout high pressure match. He wilts under pressure

Yeah, it's those two penalties that will be the lasting impression on Henry. Thought Aus scrummed as well as we have seen them for a while tonight although couldn't disrupt any AB ball. Crockett around the park is better than Woodcock now. Actually reminds me of woody 5-6 years ago.

Not his best scrum performance and I think he has hit the wall a bit. For all the talk of crusaders being rested etc, he has played 3 tests in a row after the S15. Now needs some reconditioning and a break. Makes me think he will miss the cup if Woody proves his fitness

actually I have looked back at it and the try was fine

really? I think there is still a lot of upside left for the AB's. Clinical yes but still have more to come I believe. That was not the AB's playing at their peak. We made 7 changes coming into this game and a number of those players haven't had game time for over a month. Those players...

Pooper Cooper? He was dreadful tonight, I did say that he can be got at by cutting down space and time and he didn't dissapoint me tonight. How many forward passes did he throw when under pressure (Annoyingly not called by Joubert!) and that one on his goalline was priceless. In a cooker...

white line fever of the Colombian kind groucho? That will explain the nervous twitch in your avatar!

How dare he says the ABs are only Blokes! As MR cottoned on to, just being sarcastic and a bit of a wind up. sorry should have put a fishing icon up! :-)

well, I suppose mainly as I live in London so love the seeing the AB's play at Twickers and know a bit about the England game. I actually think they are going to have a very good world cup and will be a big threat to anyone in a knockout game. As the wife is English, I supported them in '03...

fuck, did i?

You have highlighted the major issue for the Wobs. The have 10 tests in 13 weeks if they want to win the world cup. As shown against Samoa, Australia cannot confidently reach too far into their squad to rest, rotate and freshen up the team. It puts a massive strain on their top players and if...

but you haven't and I am quite sure that will continue for a little while longer grouch!

The disrespect in the Australian fans raises even further. Disgusting.

you rated certain aspects even which I think is inaccurate. NZ front row around the park get througha tone of work and conversely more than the Australians front row, I also think our loose forward defence is better with the inclusion of Kaino and Read
