    Next week we'll see Piri take on the Wallabies... or at least that's how it looked going into the second half...

    If NZ play like that against the Wallabies, I don't think they have a chance...

    Looks serious for Peri!

    I worry about their defence, now. It was the Wallabies defence that saw them through. But NZ wasn't as good against the Argentinian's. The Argies can go home with their heads up!

    Man! I picked poorly this round.
    I picked Ireland, England, SA and AB's to win.
    Lucky I got one right!!

    Cruden looked good.

    Conrad Smith needs a knighthood, that dude is LEGEND.

    I reckon we have a good chance against the Wallabies. Especially if our back three are Jane, Kahui and Dagg. Smith and Nonu in the centre, Cruden at 10, Piri at 9, cowan and SBW off the bench.
    Powerful attacking weapons and the defence is pretty good too.

    Forwards are a mystery to me!

    Naaa. That was a good wake up call for the ABs .. and who knows who Henry's Number One team actually is ...

    And they played a bit experimental against Argentina ... had forwards running in the backs off line outs ... mixing the play up a bit ... They only had to win the game and they did that - they did not have to win convincingly (but they did that too)

    I think it was another bit of a run out to see what happens .. Next game will be the crunch ... If they get passed Auzzie then it's either France or Wales in the final ...

    If your picks are that bad .... then how much weight should we all place on your opinions of individual players ...

    I suspect France will get through, but as with all the recent games, they are very close to make a call on!

    Even my wife who hated Rugby has got caught up in it and is enjoying watching!

    Some rugby expert on Radio Live was saying it will be an Aussie V Wales final...

    I dont like the look of the AB's going into the thick end of the comp.
    All the experience and no game plan when the going gets tough..
    Thats all that a strong opposing team has to do...
    Dont play attacking rugby in the first 30, and they will have the AB's rattled.

    It's important to listen to what I say..... and then do the exact opposite

    I reckon we are 20 points better than Oz (did I say that??), who were lucky to win against the yarpies really.

    Forwards are playing pretty good, no worries there, leave them alone although MCcaw hasn't got 80 minutes in him and probly won't have for the duration of the cup. Not sure about SBW on the wing though, hes better as an impact player in the centres. Piri Weepu was bloody magic. Just play him at standoff Graham.!!.

    This cup has certainly made a hell of a lot more Rugby fans. Never seen anything like it.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Aussie played a blinder final bledisloe game against the kiwis,but haven't played anywhere near that mark since.Sure all blacks been up and down,but against south africa aussie did enough to win,which is all required by each team in knock out stage.

    I hate the fact we can't seem to change game plan when it goes to shit,first and formost get the forwards dominating up front,may take 15-20mins,then give the backs the ball,committ the opposition forwards to allow the gaps out wide,and LEAVE SBW on the friggin bench.

    Yes we can win the cup,but we have to play sensible maybe so called boring rugby,keep it tight,kick the goals,and that means taking any drop kick opportunity when arises,not just in last 10 mins when 1-2 points downand shitloads of pressure,do it early on,build the points gap,sounds simple and is completely simple.

    Against that is our fear of taking 3 point by drop goals early on,hell when the team sees the TAB odds for first scoring play by all blacks and drop goal is $20 why don't they get friends and family to plunge be and do it lol.

    Y'know, I reckon I could just about guarantee an AB win this coming weekend...

    All I'd need to do is go place a $10.00 bet on Oz to win the semi. Given my record with losing gambling money, that would pretty much guarantee that Oz loses.

    And even if they win, at least I'd get paid for the pain of an AB loss...

    Waddaya reckon?
