It's got to be done: GO BLACK!

And what were all those fireworks on the telly about ?

I think that was one of the trains blowing up.

Wouldn't happen in India.

God union is so mindnumbingly boring. What a crap game. I can just feel a choke coming.....The Tigers on the otherhand - mean.

After not having much to do with Rugger for a few years now I am finding the RWC bloody exciting. Great to see so many behind it, fantastic.The tall poppy syndromers will crawl out from under their rocks of course, but who cares. Go the mighty ABS.

Also big ups to Tonga who played bloody class footy last night. Stuck to their strengths and their gameplan and really gave the ABs a fright. I think that some of the other teams will be watching Tonga a bit more closely now. Good on you Tonga, just don't do anything stupid.

Who said SBW can't play???

Idiot one eyed union fans.

(Oh goodness it's so funny seeing the "I hate Union" people come out any time there's a thread on the All Blacks or the RWC or whatever. Do sprot bike riders keep jumping into threads in the "Hogs and other cruisers" section to keep writing "your bikes all suck", or threads in the "Wannabe & Newbie Bikers" section to write "you're all losers"? Geez, how about just not posting, if you really don't care? Oh the joy of the Internet and the "freeeeedom!11!11!! I can post what I want where I want and you can't stop me na na na na naaaa na" attitude. Vandals. No better (mentally) than drop kicks who would key your bike out spite. Reminds me of hipsters (or any other trend de jour) - people so desperate to prove they are not one of the sheep, they simply become a different kind of sheep. Whatever.)

I enjoyed the game. Plenty of good skills shown, among the screw-ups. It would have been bad for the team for the first game to have been a walk-over; instead they got a little wake up, getting a good hard "practice" (half the point of pool games, for the top teams) for the later more difficult games. I'm looking forward to a good few more games...

Scotland FTW!

I saw a wonderful piece of investigative journalism on tv3s coverage of the crowds gathering in downtown Auckland this afternoon. Live feed to reporter Tony... (somethingorother) standing there with the microphone and he approaches a couple dressed head to toe in South African rugby gear carrying a giant South African flag.... he asks them ".... and where are you from"

Not afraid of the tough questions is Tony

Of course they replied 'North shore city' ?

Tonga did ok.
I take back all the shit I've put on Moneybill,,,,,, most of it anyway.
I believe the AB's backed off to avoid injury in the second half,,after all they weren't going to lose from there an there's no point in showing anymore than you have to.
The AB's are going to destroy Aussie an South Africa.
England,France,Argentina,,,Pffft

Go Tonga.

[slofox]

I imagine Scotland are feeling a little bit lucky just now...

Watched the game on OLEOLETV - live stream. Apart from the fact that the commentary is in Italian it's not too bad. ('specially the lady commentator in the studio - woot!)

[fuknKIWI]

Pfffffft whatever...Go the Wallabies

Oi Oi Oi

Who gives a fuck? Not me!

Its not sport, it's just another commercial franchise entertainment business.

There was however a lot of traffic in Oamaru all going south this afternoon all I could think as I rode past was "Baaaaaaa"(as in what sheep do).

Why so bitter and twisted?? Personally I am happy that people are going away to enjoy themselves, be happy and have a great time.

Rugby is part of new zealands culture like it or not.

Just watched Fiji vs Namibia. Great game, both teams were very entertaining. Fantastic.

I guess I'm a sheeple cos I also enjoy watching the games. I don't really like crowds of people so don't go to the games and would have hated to have been anywhere in Auckland last night. I have friends who mock people for supporting the RWC but they all seem to be the type who don't like stuff just for the sake of being different. If anything's popular, they hate it. Meh, they can like or dislike whatever they like. I just tell them to not impose their views on others

[cowpoos]

Can't believe it hasn't been covered, ok I didn't look very hard. But.. GO THE ALL BLACKS!!

Whether you are sick of hearing about it or not still hope the fellas in black can do us proud!!

I think its bloody awesome!!! the opening ceremony was fantastic!! I loved it!!

I also reckon...if your not supporting this competition and the allblacks your a bloody unpatriotic COCK!! [like cheering on the Germans in a world war]
