I was too talentless to be the backup water boy.

Actually I did play three games in my life (all social - inter business). Propped the first scrum in my first game and then they put me back to lock where I couldn't get in the way. Other two games I was second five ... or centre ... or just standing out in the back line somewhere. In the third game I tackled someone with poor technique resulting in a partially collapsed lung and that was the end of my rugby career.

Not too slow, just couldn't catch, kick or pass, which isn't a pre-reqisite when playing for West Coast.

The use of the word prerequisite with incorrect spelling confirms forward status for you possibly front row.

last Epic world cup final the ball was only in play 18 minutes the first half......20 minutes the second half.........rest of the time was wasted with geezers lining up or forming srums etc...........i reckon the clock should stop until the ball is either thrown into the lineout or fed into the scrum........fuck they get paid enough......how about giving us punters the full 80 minutes of action.......

So.
Has this game finished yet?

New Zealand will be the 1st team to successfully defend the RWC....

**ellipsis** · 7th October 2015, 21:05

...and I believe that too...

Plenty of cheap England jersey's and merchandise available apparently. Up to 40% off. That's as good as a Briscoe's sale.

Good game on the home front tonight. On past performances, Waikato don't deserve to be holding the shield tho'.

Will be interesting to read the wounded list after the AB game tomorrow. That will be Hansen's biggest concern.

Like to see the shield moving about but that result surprised me!

Agree about the AB's injury count too - Tonga aren't exactly easy easy beats!
