Who do the neutrals (non Wallaby/All Black supporters) want to see winning?

[Braveheart81]

I'm a diehard Wallabies fan, but I have to say that if we're not playing the ABs, I love watching All Blacks tests. In the 20 years I've followed rugby, they've consistently been the best side in the world both in terms of results (barring RWC obviously) and style of play.

Aaron Mauger is one of my favourite players ever. I thought he was criminally underrated. I think Conrad Smith is from a very similar mold now. Neither of them are the most obvious out and out athletes, however their rugby smarts and ability to read a game are second to none (well, maybe second to Dan Carter).

I concur with that Braveheart. I rarley want them to win (unless it's against England), but I love watching them play. Same goes for their Super Sides and ITM Cup, the style of play is how Rugby should be played.

Third that.
Their play the other week in Auckland exemplified it best. all out rugby in every aspect. great forwards, great backs, great defence.

I find it hard to cheer against Carter because he's just so brilliant, I always want to see what he can do next.
In the wallabies v all blacks i'm not sure. realistically i'll be watching it with aussies so i'll probably go for the wallabies. In in terms of head to heads, I always want to see Dan Carter win...especially against quade, because any talk of anyone being as good as carter needs a dose of reality, dan carter style. Looking forward to piri v genia, pocock v mccaw. Faainga's straight and brutal defence up against smith's tactical nous and creativity.
The best thing about being neutral is you can just sit back and enjoy the excellent rugby that will hopefully be on display.

I'm worried how short my fingernails are going to end up tomorrow night. Particularly if it's close. I'm a pretty nervous supporter.

If I were not a rabid Wallabies supporter I would support the Wallabies purely on the fact that they are the only team in the 3 nations that hasn't sent a B-team for one of the games.

Very disrespectful from the AB's and Bok's to the game and the reputation of 3N's rugby...

Samoa hearts this post.

+1 and fixed.

I could actually get down to the third knuckle if this game goes to the wire......
