All Blacks/ Italy

[98tls]

You post was even more pathetic then - red rep me as much as you like, it still came off as racist

I dont give a fuck how you took it,the red rep was only returning the favour,fuck off,actually the best way to make you fuck off is the ignore button,bye bye.

What position were you playing?

You saw me, I was playing No8 for awhile then Ted saw we weren't doing to well and didn't want to ruin my awesome rep so moved me to left-right out

Im sorry, I take pride in the team that i support. I dont care how we play, the AB's will always have my support.

I think we need the critics of the AB's to quieten down a bit, supporting means through thick and thin in my book. All that aside, we were quite horrible

To be fair to him, Leonard inside him was off the pace with his pass which coupled with a pretty lax interpretation of the offside line by the ref gave him next to no time to do anything. That said, he's really not a stand-off and should replace Nonu at inside centre...

True. Would you agree then that after Leonard's poor showing (admittedly after coming back from injury) and Ellis not playing well either, that Weepu would be our best halfback?
Half McAllisters problem is he isnt a stand-off, but i wouldnt say he is better than Nonu for the game that Wayne Smith is trying to play either. The other half of his problem is he went to Westlake, a school for Homosexuals.

Geez all the AB haters, give Italy some credit - they have gotten better, still not good enough to beat a poor performing NZ team but they are better.

We beat the Italians but in typical NZ fashion we cry coz we didnt thrash them.
Tri-nations will be complete different game than the French and Italy tests, well be back to the S14 style plays that we have become acustomed to which brings in the high scoring results. I reckon well still win the Tri-nations but even then alot of haters will say we didnt win it by enough. AB's are held so high in public opinion that anything short of excellence is rated as poor.

Im an AB fan willing to go through the wins and the losses.

I support any NZ team(except yachting bloody toffs)was impressed when the All Whites nearly beat Italy in soccer,imagine how the Italians felt,similar to us with rugby.

End of the day if we lose who cares,another day tomorrow.If we lose world cup final or semi too bad,annoying but not life threatening.Much like say Brazil or Germany,France,Italy in soccer they may not be world cup holders but constantly at the top,same as NZ rugby,haven't won cup but regularly in top 3 in world,annoying thing is when England referred as world champs or worlds best after they win the cup,then lose a series to NZ,SA or Aussie.

I'd still play Leonard even rusty like he was, he's probably better than Cowan or Weepu. Plus the fact that Weepu can cover 9 and 10 means I'd make him a bench / "impact" player...same as I would for Nonu because he can cover both centres and wing...

When Piri came on the passing was a lot snappier.
I am worried that we haven't got a decent first five at the mo though.
Bring on the Tri Nations.

PS,Jrandom why bother checking out this and similar threads if you hate rugby so much?

Is Carter out for the whole season?

[MIXONE]

No he should be back for the NPC.
