  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Rugby World Cup 2011

I would have loved there to be a AUS / ALL BLACK final, but the silly draw screwed that up.

But looks like AUS / ALL BLACK semi...

Obviously I'll bank on a ALL BLACK win... but if Wallabies make it to the final over the dead bodies of the all blacks... then I'll Support the Wallabies for sure.

I will be honest, I support the ABs through and through, but as is always the case if we are knocked out and the Aussies go forward, I will support the Aussies 100% ....it's that damn Anzac thing ;)
 
Good game... Just read that Los Pumas become the first team to prevent an All Black 1st half try in a World Cup match all the way back to 1999.

I'm going for the All Blacks now. Sorry Wallabies, but I've always loved the hacka thing since I was a little kid. It links the game to something bigger and I dig that. But Australia can do it! It is gonna be a heck of a game, that's for sure. That is the final right there.
 
1st semi final

France vs Wales

I don't know who to back ...... my heart says Wales but my head keeps telling me France are the most dangerous dark horse of all time.

Wales gave us Catherine Zeta-Jones , Anthony Hopkins , Richard Burton & Tom Jones ...they sure know how to sing..

But France gave us Godard, Marienbad & Edith Piaf .... ( how cool is that?)

OK , I'll clench my teeth and back ..... WALES

... it's a primative thing , NZ & Wales have a rugby history of 123 years
 
Hey John,

this isn't really the thread for it and I'm horribly busy & under pressure from work until mid Nov but after the RWC I'm thinkin'

you rest easy , enjoy your family, enjoy the rugby then let's look into gettin' " The Toll House " off the ground.

can you use a Duclose 11-16 on a scarlet? anyone? and how are you for sound? ..... just a thought on the backburners
 
I'll never learn ....

no matter how abysmal their recent form is
no matter if there's a rift between the coach & the players
no matter if they look unconvincing against Japan & Canada
no matter if they loose to New Zealand
no matter if they loose to Tonga!
no matter if they've been more bumbling than Inspector Clouseau (France's greatest detective)
no matter if the Rooster is lookin' like a plucked chook next to the Bar BQ

never ...........NEVER .........write off the French
I'll never learn either.
Shame on us!
My apologize to Wales, we really didn't deserve the victory.

Although I'm gutted for Wales , I thought the ref actually scuttled the game by sending off Warburton , he ruined it for everyone. ..Wales played with a lot of heart 14 against 15 but that's sport .... sometimes it can be cruel.

France made 146 tackles so they were doing something out there, I just thought they relaxed a bit and almost got themselves in trouble for it.

It's a shame in a way simply because Wales would've been a new kid on the block in a RWC final instead of the usual suspects.

Good for rugby ............ uhhh ..... Vive la France
 
Just thinkin' ...... going by France & Wales showing tonight, Roberto made a pretty good call .... It makes the Kiwi / Aussie game tomorrow look like the final
 
(sigh... slow knod of the head) Aussies ,Aussies ,Aussies ...... what can ya say?

Why don't they stick to the game they invented , Essendon, Carlton & Collingwood & leave the rugby to us?

How did the worst movie of the new millenium (no contest) Baz Luhrman's "Australia" ever get into production?

can't the Vics just go down to Chapel street, Toorak, have a latte & think about other things like ... I don't know, Gillard or Shane Warne or somethin' , ...... can't the Sydnies go out to Bondi 'n' play a bit of cricket on the sand.

you guys have already won 2 World Cups, we've only won 1 ...... there's no need ta be greedy ... Aussies .... they are a mystery.....

still ...... in this big wide world, when the s**t hits the fan ... there's no one we'd rather have on our left flank than an Aussie digger
 
We're just too strong tonight, Aussie hung in there but I think last weeks game against South Africa took it's toll. Corey Jane had a blinder.
