The Rugby World Cup is getting very , very intense !

Aus vs NZ next week........who's watchin?

We’ll need to play much better. If we beat the all blacks we should win the lot. Easier said than done though. Will be harder than this week, and we just got there. Oktoberfest next weekend so if I watch I may not remember much!!

Hey Boys

We had no ball , made 3X  as many tackles and were up against the champs.

We still beat those massive Zaffers where it counted … on the scoreboard !!!

Bring on the world cup chokers.

…just to give it some surfing relevance for the other’s .Tom Whittaker’s brother was a good player who would have played for Australia if not for Gregan

I always prefer whittaker over gregan anyway, not that im a true blue supporter.  The all blacks are a different kettle of fish, if we give them that much ball they will slaughter us, though the pressure on them must be intense.  I have a feeling wales will be in the final and tehy are the real dark horse.  I would almost prefer to be playing the all blacks, at least we would know what we are up agianst.  Wales quarter final was a hell of a match, those guys have nothing to lose, or prove, truly a big threat with no chocker tag attached to them.

Go All Blacks!!! Wish I could watch it!

If Aus can run a good lineout , and  stop surrendering their posession as they did against the Boks , we have a game .......I think Wales will be waiting , and ready for anyone in an epic final......

Feeling pretty nervous about the next game, can never rule out aussies in a tight game,

Fingers crossed for a All Blacks vs Wales Final:)

AB’s and Wallabies is going to be a great game. This is New Zealand’s year, though I think I’m the only person in the whole damn country who will say this out loud.  This is the game I was hoping for.  Two really good teams and perennial rivals going at it.  I only wish it was in the final.

 

Saw the AB’s and Puma’s game with some Argentine friends.  Fantastic.  They were sooo psyched when Argentina took the lead for a while.  Those guys played with some heart.  They say it’s not even a paid pro sport n Argentina.  They have to go to Europe to play for $ .

 

Go NZ!!

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Ha! Classic !

All Blacks and Wales in the final …

Sunday’s AU v ZA game was a truly historic event:- it was the first time that a blind man refereed a world cup rugby match!

(Yes, I’m bitter - our team should have won anyway; but couldn’t quite finish:-( )

haaa’’   but its not the first time a blind man refereed a game of football?

cheers huie

I was barracking for a SA win, thought ABs had a better chance against Springboks than Wallabies, my condolences to SA and now looking forward to All Black Wallaby game. There is also a NZ Aus League Test on Saturday. Personally I didn’t see anything wrong with Kiwi ref, but will watch Wallabies Springboks replay with that thought in mind. At least Springboks weren’t down with food poisoning, lol. We, NZers, respect the Boks and the Wallabies, the dark horse may well be Wales. Mind you the French have managed to knock us out of previous RWCs as well.  If ABs lose we might get a new government as part of the backlash.

Aah, huie, I guess you’re right…  It’s all good.  It was a great game to watch, even if we did lose.

,,,,,,,,,countdown...!

fingers crossed for a Wales vs Australia final…My Dad is Welsh and I am Aussie…

i thought this is all about "SHAPING" keep it that way talk about sports on sports fourm....

Frenchy will win !..LOL

Sorry for my frenglish

Au contraire.  Wales nearly beat you with 14 players. 

Bad call by ref - best team lost - quel dommage

 

yeah it was pretty dumb outcome but if they got no one who can kick a goal in a game of rugby than thats the coaches fault. they shuda used the young fella on pentalty kicks that nearly got that one from the halfway line
