Springboks vs Wallabies @ Newlands 27/9/2014

[waiopehu oldboy]

When David Pocock first came to Australia, and found out about this funny game called "league" he was flummoxed and said in as many words, that Australia would make a mockery of international rugby if we all played the same code.

Bear in mind that roughly 1/3 of NRL 1st graders & 40% of U20's are eligible for 1 or more of (in no particular order) NZ, England, Samoa, Fiji or Tonga.

In other words yes, Australia may well have Thurston & Inglis available for the Wobs but NZ would have Johnson, & Hurrell unless Tonga got him first.

 

[Biffo]

you are moving onto very dangerous ground.
i won't go anywhere near it.

 

[cyclopath]

Ok. I've been keeping this quiet but the time has come to out myself.

Am I the only one, right now, who feels completely apathetic with the Wallabies?

I can barely scrape together any interest in our national team.

Has the NRC spoiled me for "have a red hot go" rugby? Or am I sick of hearing the constant beat ups around the Wallabies, only to find they have bigger mouths than ability?

Or have I realised that after the last 10 years or so, this is really as good as the Wallabies can be, and there is no hope of cracking #1, or winning Old Bill again; let alone touching the Bledisloe.

Am I alone in this pit of despair?

Pit of despair? Looxuuury!

 

[Tomikin]

Spot on. and I'm guilty of this. I expect us to come close to beating the All Blacks almost every game but the gap between us and them is further then ever.

We did draw in Sydney

 

[Tomikin]

League has how many professional team.with money in Australia vs 5 in Union. Don't have the money or the chance of money to compete.

Bloody foxtel. I ONLY have bloody foxtel for one.fucking.reason.

To watch the frickin rugby.

Ok, all daughters at home for the first time in yonks, (one) of them, I think due to a new boyfriend, has been (suddenly) watching the wobs. But fair enough I guess, 1 am is a tad too much to expect to stay up and then back up with the 8am AB/ARG game.

So, new plan, watch the abs live and the replay of the wobs (presumably) straight after.

But fucking no. Ok, we get some of the game, but only an hours worth, ie edited. And lets assume ad breaks into the bloody hour.

Oh fucking joy, my wallabies game edited down to an bloody hour is so I can revel in watching some stupid fucking league game of real big importance, some stupid replay of a semi final.

fuck the fucking league shit. I wanna watch fucking league I'll fucking watch fucking channel fucking nine fuck it.

Man, the fucking bastards have an almost fucking monopoly on fucking union and they fuck us over with this shit?

I gotta tell you I'm pretty fucking pissed off.

For sure, if I wait till three in the afternoon I can watch the *full* replays.

EDIT
fluffybunnys?

let me assure you the word I used was NOT fucking fluffybunnys. It was another word that rhymes with punts, as in those fucking punts.

 

[Train Without a Station]

You seem a little upset Terry

 

[I like to watch]

Can you still get Foxtel without IQ?
Or are you not allowed to delete any episodes of Summer Bay ,Days of our lives or Australia's next marvel etc,to make room for a Rugby game?

 

[boyo]

Hide the remote.

to many league swear words in this qoute. Man up and take control of your TV OuBoet.

 

[terry j]

Dunno, is OuBoet a good thing or a bad thing? Anyhows, missed the point methinks. Here we have the national rugby team playing an international game, and the very first replay is cut down to an hour (with, one presumes, ad breaks) to make way for a replay of the league semi.

Is that replay a full game? dunno, did not look, as that is not the point.

yes, I personally have no problems watching the game live, but seriously, foxtel buy the bloody rights, hence force us to subscribe, and they then think they can give us the finger and cut a game like that?

Talk about a monopoly and how that can be abused.

 

[Viking]

Funnily enough,I remember Cheika was critical of him earlier,when Cheika said he was doing other peoples jobs.
Maybe if we are being out muscled at the breakdown we should be critical of those players being out muscled.
Just quietly I wouldn't take two Simmons for one fucking crazy Potgeiter.
Cheika wants players that make an impact,the Wobblies tight five as a whole,seem to be trundlers.

We will be critical of the ones being out-muscled. BUT we also need a solution. Realistically we aren't going to be dominate every game at the breakdown, Even if we had the NZ tight 5 you can expect some players to be out of form etc. If the breakdown is getting dominated by the opposition then the back-row should be the first to help out the tight 5 and play a little tighter.

I would take Potgeiter too.

He wasn't critical of Hooper he was critical of the other 7.

 

[kiap]

Dunno, is OuBoet a good thing or a bad thing?

OuBoet means old bro.

But I agree with your point on the power of FS.

 

[emuarse]

Braveheart - yeah maybe but I think Australia's long term wingers (well at least for RWC) will be Speight and Tomane JOC (James O'Connor). Adam is coming to the inevitable time that occurs with all players (I await plenty of criticism for that comment)

 

[emuarse]

How did we get onto JOC (James O'Connor) and the Reds?

Wallabies 2nd 15.

 

[emuarse]

to what is relevance relevant?

Is it relevant that you ask 'to what is relevance relevant'? Perhaps this is irrelevant.
