Shit I choked just typing the title but if the All Blacks have any chance in the Tri Nations we want Dingo Dean's boys to step up to the plate tonight.
What are their chances of a win?




More importantly GO CANTERBURY.

I'd rather see the Boks win, even if it fucks up our chances.

I even enjoy the Boks beating the All Blacks for some bizarre reason.

I'm hoping the Aussies fire that traitor Deans. Its good he was never put in charge of the All Blacks.

Mate - Do you understand Rugby in Aus? Izza a joke. Nobody much cares except for two games a year against the ABs. They rate in the top 10 on TV sports rankings for the year. The next highest rating game last year was 95th - behind The Lawn Bowls.

The Rugby League sold out three games last weekend. Top grade Rugby Union gets about 100 spectators and falling. According to Journalist Roy Masters, Sydney clubs can't get enough players to fill their obligations in all grades.

In the top flight, Unless we unearth a world beating 5/8th they will remain the Bangladesh of World Rugby for some time to come. 'Cept Banglas have a brighter future.

It's getting like that in NZ too at last. Some kiwis are a bit slow to catch on that League is by far the superior code.

Rugby? :whocares:

I think I'm one of the lucky ones who appreciates all sorts of sports including league however it's much easier to support a team that wins more often.That's why I support the ABs over the Kiwis and Canterbury over the Warriors.

Well that's about wanting to see a win - no matter how shite the sport actually is. Fuck that! Why put yourself through it?

You must be a Roosters fan then.They do plenty of hits etc. but don't win many.

Long time Canberra supporter - prior to the Warriors existence. Warriors supporter (unconditional), Queensland supporter, Kiwis supporter.....

But most importantly - a fan of the game itself. The NRL is such a brilliant competition year in year out that I will happily watch any match up and am rarely disappointed....



Rugby on the other hand :yawn: :sleep:

Oh, that surprises me, I thought Aussie might win this one! :Oops:

Would still like to know the try/penalty count!

I guess all will be revealed soon enough. :yes:

Edit: 4 tries to 3, still only one try difference, not much between these three teams!

Two late Aussie tries gave the score some respectability...they were thumped.

Man I had a bad night.

St George and Carlton both got anihilated and the Black Caps (a '2nd' team) too.

These cause me grief. Rugby not so.

QPR look destined to struggle again - I had to go deep into the papers for a win. Go Rangers!

Tranmere got thumped 4-0 by Charlton...but I scored two wins on the basis that Arsenal and Bolton both lost...

Saints are perennial chokers, I pity you. But then thats what supporting a team is about - taking the good with the bad. Most NZers don't seem to understand that:

a) the game itself is supposed to be enjoyable

b) being a supporter is unconditional

I'd support the warriors if they weren't so shit.

Not I that I give half a shit about an Aussie domestic competition.

As for the argument over which code is better, That's a weak joke, If you prefer one over the other then stfu and watch it,No reason to spout crap about how your preference for something somehow makes it the superior game.
