Tri Nations

[Matabele]

I thought they looked like Spiderman suits.

 

[Dan]

I cant believe they have won two in a row

 

[Matabele]

It was only the Springbok 2nd XV.

 

[weneedacement]

adding depth to the yarpy squad is not a bad idea. did well against a near full strength aussie squad.

France did the same thing against the all blacks, and as mata said - world cup year and teams are focussing on that like never before.

My money is on France for WC.

 

[Matabele]

At least we now know the SA 2nd XV is as dumb as the 1st!

 

[weneedacement]

But just as good in the eye gouging department! :naughty:

 

[Matabele]

Not really. the 1st XV get away with it.

 

[Chip and Chase]

It was only the Springbok 2nd XV.

It was virtually a second string Wallaby side as well, without the million dollar man Lote :lie:

I see Ashley Cooper has just re-signed with the Wobblies. Probably on half the money for twice the player. Tuqiri won't last long with O'Neill back at the helm.

touche!

 

[Matabele]

Speaking of 21 year old hoodoos, let's hope the Wobblies can follow Manly's lead at Eden Park tonight.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

No chance Mata

Some ref tonight i have never heard of, hopefully he doesn't kill the game. Is a pillow biter apparently

 

[Matabele]

Is a pillow biter apparently

then at least he won't follow the usual obsession with policing the front row.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Was boring to watch yet again

Australia may as well have left numbers 11-15 at home because they didn't use them at all. Didn't even threaten to score a try once.

 

[Matabele]

Where are all those knockers who carried on about the Springboks and their reliance on 3 pointers?

 

[Chip and Chase]

The weather wasn't really conducive to running rugby, although I was surprised at the couple of drop goal attempts we made.

No surprise that the Blacks won, if you had asked me before the tri nations started how we'd go I would have struggled to see where we could have won one game let alone two and being competitive in the other two.

I feel slightly more bouyant about our RWC chances now, than I did 12 months ago.

 

[Matabele]

One thing for certain, the ABs are not the certainties for the WC they looked 12 months ago (again). Especially if the best they can put into a number 9 jumper is Kelleher.

Probably 6 sides that can win this one.
