Hello there team - long time no comms. I'll be honest, I just came on to read the Vickerman thread to see if there was anymore info here about that, but then saw all the above posts. I then felt compelled to login, just to say hello. Isn't it totally amazing that in amongst people you don't...

SA should win this by 100. That is worst world XV team I think i've ever seen.

Game was inline with expectations, we couldn't catch a cold, and the Samoans defence and all around game was extremely physical. Still, won by 2 scores despite playing pretty average, with a weird (read, no) gameplan. McCaw, Carter good, Rest, average to say the least. SBW easily his worst...

On the contrary DP, Wednesday afternoon has been called a Samoan holiday and they have setup a load of viewing areas for the locals beside the match. so I counter with almost every single Samoan will see it, and lets not forget, that is who this match is for.

Not exactly in synch with his "fuck you, don't come your nazi sympathisers" outburst. But good to see him acting like a grown up.

Yeah, Kearns seems to have decided to make it a bit personal there. Not sure why he can't just admit he got carried away (as all fans do), and on reflection, it was an unfair comment. Guess not in his nature to do that though!

Jack Warner thought the onion was genuine

Dan, did you ever work for FIFA?

As a die hard capitalist, I do tend to agree. The real problem here, is that I think there is fan-club setups which sell tickets to people throughout the year and then hence these guys get first option when they go on sale. If it's just bandwagoners complaining, then so be it. But if genuine...

No, it's not poor form to state and opinion, based on facts. You don't know me, so DON'T YOU DARE tell me what I do know about and what I know about. You don't know me and your assumptions are way way off the mark. I'm not surprised that you know Eliota and seem to be close to him, as your...

Not sure what the big deal is myself. Kearns has always been a fan commentator, occasionally he likes to get carried away. The only person who should be pissed off with him is Joubert - as he was harshly criticised, with very little to back up the statement. I thought the balance was fine...

Nothing brings up more of a cultural cringe when I see somebody from the NZ media/players/sponsors, anybody start talking about disrespecting the Haka. It pisses me off as I'm strongly of the opinion than anybody can do whatever the hell they like and it cannot be disrespected. I'm sick of...

Pixel Ninja I believe we did that 3 weeks ago.

Loving the irony of guys in Bangkok bars calling another group of people in there feral.

Cool. Up the opposition penalties by 3 per match. Good player, but ill disciplined.

Yes, that is ultimately my point - where does it start, where does it end. JdV pointed it out because the crowd was upset and he saw it on the screen. Burger didn't complain, none of the players complained at the time. In realtime it didn't even look bad - the TMO sounded to me like he...

Time for a few Majorly Ragerly comments. Firstly, and this over rides anything else. Congratulations to the Boks for 2 things. Firstly for beating us fair and square - better team on the day, better players and despite what else I write below, this cannot be taken away. Secondly for finding...

Really/ Not even winning the Bledisloe back after 5 years? Not putting 50 points on both SA and OZ in the 2003 3N? There was lots to like about the Mitchell/Deans era.

I don't think you guys actually read what Read said. The headline is rather inflammatory & not representative of the comments. Fact 1. All blacks wanted to play a fast game with little stops. Fact 2. South Africa didn't. Fact 3. NZ (And SA tactics suggest they agree) believe they would have...

The whole All Blacks blow out in the last 20 minutes thing hasn't happened for a while - it used to be the case, but if you look at results this year, we've maybe scored the odd try but there has certainly not been any blowouts - that tells me that the oppositions have caught up in fitness &...
