Is that true?

A Kiwi said that the Sydney game isn't a parameter because Nonu didn't play

Rumour has it that the Wallabies #1 fan is on his way to the game in a private jet and will join Wallabies on field in the stare down of the Haka, in what will be the ultimate response.
Just remember All Black fans Dan Carter can kick a rugby ball 50 metres, Chuck Norris can round house kick Dan Carter the entire length of the field!

The 2 best sides are in the Final, I reckon it will be won in the head, if the Wallabies are in it at the break, I think they can finish over the top of New Zealand.
Why half time.
Respecting a team is the first step in beating a team.

Why half time.
- Last couple of years i think the Wallabies were in awe of the AB's.
- Now i think (but am waiting for confirmation it is simply immense respect for New Zealand.

I am expecting this to be a close game with parity between the sides at set piece (Aus better scrum and NZ better lineout), tough defense by both sides and the breakdown highly competitive but about equal. Where I think NZ might have the advantage is ball in hand. Their forwards play with handling skills of most backlines and are willing to test the line with multiple short passing raids, while their backs are more likely to break the defensive line with sheer individual attacking skills. They will probably accomplish one or two line breaks that just can't be defended over the 80 minutes, and we all know that their clean breaks usually end with a try being scored.
Will be shouting for the Wallabies (and against the ref) but expect the ABs to come out on top by around 7 - 10.

Just want to raise a toast to our team. Youre an inspiration both on and off the field and whether we win or lose youve done us all proud.
A toast to the All Blacks too. This is arguably the best side ever to play the game with unquestionably some of the greatest players of all time. It almost impossible to see them losing, but if any team can do it, its Cheika's warriors.
Good luck to both teams. Hope we get a cracking game.
Go you good thing!

Sadly, redstragic, the world body (IRB, as it was then), banned the singing of Waltzing Matilda, as it "competed" with the Haka!

Not ever having tried Pacific Ale, I have no doubt you are correct. I cannot stand Steinlager and its ilk.
There are much better beers around than those cheap fizzy lagers that both countries produce in such volume.
