at the moment, the injuries aren't too important. Toeava is the biggest worry. As long as no one breaks anything like Mitchell and is available for the tri nations then we should be ok touch wood. Its injuries in the tri nations and rwc group stages that are going to really impact our chances...

hey paarl! I think Smit has got himself fitter for one last hurrah and his captaincy will be important however, it is a long season and will be interesting how he is going in October. I do question the wisdom where he will be subbed off in a knockout match where his experience will be vital...

I know you are a big support of P Divvy but I think that is a stretch even for you to say that you will see the best of these boks this year! This does remind me alot of NZ in '91, mgmt holding on to senior players for too long and got found out by a younger Australian team. Sure we were...

rugby went pro about 3 months after Merhtens made his test debut! The idea to move a tackle shy no.10 was first used to hide Mehrts I believe?

Yeah, the boks in a potential semi will be incredibly hard to beat, the have a perfect game for a tight, knock out style match - big forwards and low risk, forward orientated game plan that relys on pressurising opponents into mistakes, good kicking game - tactically and for points, huge...

Don't know but it cant be any worse than Rocky's!

3 series is great as it always gives us a winner. The format or one hone, one away and one on neutral ground would be the fairest way to have the 3 match series. There can be no complaints from the challenger that it is too hard to get it back off the holder as we have seen over the last 11...

I believe Boomer started it ;-)

Simple, fact based assessment of the record against the crims. Played 139 Won 95 Lost 39 Draw 5

does mummy know you are on the computer so late at night?

I don't think he crassly insults a nation they are about to play though? Wouldn't mind it if Johnson was good enough to back it up but clearly he wasn't.

And Scott johnson was just a fat aussie with a big mouth in a shithole called wales

Fixed for you. NZ by 11

Go and watch Lomu at his peak again reg, you simply cannot go past this phenomenon

Langthorne, very difficult to do so, look at Pocock playing outstanding rugby on the back of a wallaby pack that is 3rd best in the tri nations. How would he go at 7 for the AB's? Smith Nonu is being talked about as the best centre paring since Little and Bunce in the NZ media. Smith is not a...

I missed that one then Groucho! Thinking about it, I can't think of many other players who would have beaten an AB to a world xv spot at the time.....;-)

I believe you will find it was before a certain semi final at the 2003 RWC that Fitzy said no aussies would make an anzac xv. While everyone has a natural bias towards their own country's players I don't think NZer's are that bad apart from a minority. however, NZ is ranked no.1 consistently...

As in my response to the idiot Querty, I was responding to Langthorne's post about players displacing AB's in the current All Black side. I did say the Mealamu is better than your injured hooker. I also said that I would keep Smith, Nonu and Jane in the side over the players he suggested. I...

It was in response to Langthorne posting a New Zealand side and suggesting people who could displace an AB from it. So, of course, it is NZ centric as I was replying to a NZ centric post. You are the idiot who cannot understand. Its not even about NZ are better than Australia so we should be...

I really don't know what form Mealamu has to hit to be considered the best in the world! Surely the best around at the moment and TPN hasnt hit the form that Super Kev has this year. Matfield has been pretty poor this year but would probably still get in on rep alone. Very little between...
