Who will win the RWC?

Pole vaulting coach overheard talking to the pole just before the olympic final.

"Listen here pole, see that bar up there? now all you have to do is get the fuck over it."

There

Reckon so John. The two losses are a bit of a shock and just what is needed to wake the players up.

By the way, after all the noise about Sonny Bill Williams, I have yet to see him do anything remarkable. The guy has talent certainly but alongside existing All Blacks he just looks ordinary.

Happy to be wrong given what he has previously shown on the league field.

wasnt good enough though.Ive seen this shit coming for years.

Now you're cooking with gas...I watched last night's game at the Whale & Ale, the pub in Clarkson WA the crowd was mostly Kiwi but this little Wallabies fan in RED & BLACK really had them guessing

It was entirely predictable that Wally B was going to come on strong after being humiliated by Samoa & NZ in NZ...& they did it without the superstar brat (J O'fuknConnor) thus making a real team of themselves not just a support group for a talented wanker!

It's been a long day of weeping recriminations...

Post #9 sums it up nicely.

Rugby a "great game"?

Something that entertains a part of the population in only a few countries around the world, perhaps.

Now. Back to the WRC.

Exactly right.

How many times have the AB's gone into a World Cup as Favourites?
Pretty much everyone of em (cept for 91)after dominating every team going...something any other team in any professional sport in the world would kill for.
The 100+ year long All Black dominance of world rugby has come about for one reason only and that (for all you mincing non-believers)is because of what the Black Jersey means to the NZ population.

Aussie gave the AB's the best fucking wake-up call they could get (period)their forwards steamrollered us round the park and the whole team tackled their arses off.The way they played would have seen any other team 30 to 40 points in the hole...in the first half.

The second half comeback was glorious to watch,but still it was just put out of reach by a fantastic piece of individual brilliance from the Aussie half back.
Australia and any other team who want to beat the All Blacks have to play like that for 80 minutes if they want to win a World Cup...and good on them if they do.

The AB's are only going to be stronger and wiser because of this.

Everyone cheats at the breakdown because no one knows the rules. Not even the refs. A penalty there is almost as random as penalty at scrum time!

Go the All Blacks!

Where's the England option?

**Maha** · 29th August 2011, 12:04

How did they play is the relative question? (2 weeks out)
Win or loose...the AB's seemed to be out played from what I saw of the highlight package on the news.
Against SA..the turnover rate was 2-1 in favour of the Springboks...that is not good.
28 turnovers against the All Blacks?...shouldn't happen at test level.
Will the All Blacks win the comp?... I would hope so.
We wont know for sure until about 9.30pm on Oct 23rd.

Up until a few weeks back I was certain that ADIDAS would have been the RWC winners by a country mile but after a series of 'own goals' I think that in the end 'Mastercard' will take the winners mantle....

**admenk** · 29th August 2011, 12:29

Surely there must be more than 4 teams playing ?

Adidas have surely fucked that then.
