was at that game, was awesome!

"Conrad Smith will be back for the match"! Hansen on ABC 7:00 pm news.

Will be, or might be if the birth of his child goes well?

 

[KOB1987]

Hansen mind games part 7 for this year..he may well be back, but it could be on the bench or in the stand behind the bench..

Many stuck the boot into Leon MacDonald for that game, but how crap was Mealamu at LO time? He was shocking. And Joe Rok might as well have not been out there the way he was defending.

Alright off to watch the same fixture but 8 years later....

You'd be better of going to the one 12 years back...

 

[Oldschool]

In preparation for the game I thought I'd watch this. I liked it then and it hasn't changed. Under dogs then ...

Is that the last time you guys won in Sydney?

 

[galumay]

Well its the first time in years I havent been pretty sure we would lose, I still think it will take a very special performance across the paddock. The AB's will, as always be up for it, and more than a few Crusaders with points to make. As always it will be won and lost up front, lets hope the boys with the little numbers pull a big game tomorrow night and let the backs decide how big the score is! Go Wobblies.

no we won in Sydney in June

 

[KOB1987]

v All Blacks we won in Sydney in 2004 and 2008..

 

[Gnostic]

Is that the last time you guys won in Sydney?

Guess what the common factor was to the ABs playing like shit and nothing like their traditional accuracy in that time and the Wallabies playing the same until recently?






Bloody 5th column.

Don't know what you're talking about. That test match never happened.....

 

[BDA]

this weather forecast is bothering me.

fuck off rain

 

[maxdacat]

Yesterday Hanson shoots his mouth off over Beale.

Today Conrad has to return to NZ and he might not make it back for the test?

Ain't that a karmic biatch?

His replacement seems allright.

fuck off rain

agreed. Can't it hold off till sunday?

 

[Hawko]

Am I the only bloke thinking Tamooa will play 80 percent of the game at 10
And beal will play inside center

haven't given any thought to percentages but you aren't the only bloke thinking there will be a bit of switcheroo going on..

Those of us who are Waratah followers are asking "What's the big deal?" Our 10/12 combination has been doing this seamlessly all year, and its worked a treat. Unless To'omua cocks it up, this is just the way you play good rugby! In the Waratahs threads you won't even find comment on it any more, its just the natural order of things.

Eddie's kiss of death.

 

[Quick Hands]

Have I heard correctly that Jaco Peyper is the referee tonight?

If so, how could the IRB appoint someone so obviously imept to a match like this?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Eddie's kiss of death.

Yeah but on Thursday Peter Fitzsimons put his kiss of death on us so it kinda evens out, no? 12 hours til kickoff, what's a bloke supposed to do until then?
