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

[RRSport]

The All Black supporters see this one as a given also winning against the Wallabies.

What other bits of info do you just pull out of your arse?

 

[whatty]

Wow sensitive Kiwi's on the board atm, pressure mounting much?

Been a ardent newspaper reader and radio listener is that the overall opinion is that the NZ media see this match as a done deal.
Good win last time out so some justification but I doubt it will be the cake walk most are predicting.

Not fussed who wins.

RRSport you are so far of the mark Its laughable if it was not so sad.....chill bro.

Time to put it on the block, Boet?

 

[whatty]

It's that time of the quadrennial. It's a hormonal thing.

Wow that can be very dangerous.

You dont want her to watch to much rugby like ou Maans

Ou Maans en die nuwe rugbyreëls



Vertel ou Maans vir my, hy is al van lank voor vrouedag af besig om gelykheid tussen geslagte te bevorder.

Soveel so dat Poppie deesdae saam met hom rugby kyk.

Maar hy weet darem nie of dit die gewenste effek het nie.

As hy saans vir haar sê: "Crouch! Touch! Pause! Engage!"

Dan sê sy: "Advantage over! Roll away! Stay on your feet! Hands off!"

:nta:

I usually have a lot of respect for the old foe but after last week loss and the moan and groan coming from all their supporters I want to see the Wallabies knock them over. Want to hear their supporters start blaming the Cartell, which they normally do.

It will also be good if we have a new Tri Nation champ. Good for the competition. The All Black supporters see this one as a given also winning against the Wallabies.

Total bullshit. I think the Wallabies with home advantage and an improved side are equal favorites.

Who is predicting a cake walk?

Specious nonsense. Entire threads are created to troll. The internet is full of examples.

Total bullshit. I think the Wallabies with home advantage and an improved side are equal favorites.

At least.

 

[drewprint]

I've got to laugh at this. I'm about a died in the wool Wallabies supporter as they come, but there's no bloody way we're favourites.

 

[cyclopath]

Well, given the outstanding mediocrity of this thread to this point, claims of All Black "Underdog Status" were never far away.

I don't see why not. Form players in the team and an understanding, in fact oft stated recognition and appreciation, of where they went wrong in Auckland.

The Wallabies know that they have to vary their game better than they did in Bledisloe One, by creating doubt and indecision in the All Black defensive structure and by being less passive themselves on defence. It's also the first and second ranked nations playing each other with the Wallabies at home in what amounts to finals football - the winner gets the silverware.

I'm expecting a cracker of a match and will be pleasantly surprised if the Wallabies lose.

No you are so far of the mark its no longer visible!

I haven't heard a single show nor seen an article claiming the upcoming game is a forgone conclusion.

I love how you assume Im a kiwi too, brilliant!

Whichever nation you belong to, you're not covering them in glory with your conduct.

That's not how we do it around here, Sonny Jim, and never have. Cool your jets.

Please enlighten me to any conduct on here that is worse than the surrounding? :nta:
I wait with baited breath.

Im astounded at the level of bashing directed towards the sheep shaggers on this site, its enough to warrant renaming it We hate NZ forum
Seriously such a large number of posts focus on spewing forth criticism to anything from the koiwoi's and little talk or focus on the Wallabies and the progress there.

Ive been reading all sorts from people hating on the spectacle of the Haka with foaming mouths, ask the players if they hate it as much as some here do.
Others referring to all Kiwis as dole bludging immigrants etc etc It really is utter dross and the likes of which I would expect inside the clubrooms of the under 15s.

[dobduff11]

Well although Australia aren't exactly best pals with England several of my favourite players are Wallabies, so I'm inclined to support Aus.

Plus the cartel never play Toeava, Dagg, Gear or a few other players I like, having said that JOC (James O'Connor) isn't playing this weekend so I'm likely to be on the fence

Dunno about hate NZ, but there is quite a dislike generally towards the All Blacks.

And given that it's an Aussie rugby forum, shouldn't that be what you expect?

You do need a thick skin to last around here & quite often a bit of thin skin disease is justified. But if you want to talk rugby, tactics, ideas, appreciation of players and the game - this bunch of blokes is as good as any.

Just don't expect it to be balanced at all times.

It may be the top 2 sides in the world playing for the silverware but the gap between the two is massive. I'll be standing just inches from my TV for 80 minutes on Saturday willing our boys to play out of their skins because thats what they'll need to do to beat the AB's. Honestly there is absolute daylight between the two sides at the moment.

Not how we do it?

I think what he meant by "not how we do it" was basically don't be a jerk to others. This is a place where you can let your opinions be heard and engage in sometimes heated debate over sensitive topics that not everyone will agree on. If you can't participate without acting like a child (case and point the above post) then sit back and shut up. That being said if something is said that you don't like you can always report it or respond with your view. No one will abuse you for that. You also have to expect some NZ bashing to happen in a forum called "Green and Gold Rugby" the same as you would expect a bit of Aus. bashing to happen on a form called "All Blacks Rugby". There's nothing wrong with a bit of banter with our brothers across the ditch so long as they get the chance to respond.
