nice to see the scrum officiated properly too

Bloody interesting to watch the ebb and flow of this thread, was hard to stick up for the ABs and Henry last week, and the Cants were having a ball, total silence now. As a kiwi first, dorklander distant second, I'm for loyalty to country and team, and this week is sweeeet![]()
Get your motor runnin, head out on the Highway ....
i have been keeping on touch with alot of my aussie friends over the past 2 weeks ... great fun
obviously last week i was on the recieving end of some serious ribbing after our dismal performance in Sydney, and the better side winning on the night. I also let my friends know about the NZ Rugby Officianados perceptions of the referee regarding his seemingly blind eye to wallabie infringements.
now this week after the complete turn around from both teams, my friends in aussie are informing me of the crying from the australian rugby circles regarding the weekends referees seemingly blind eye to All Black infringements ....
go figure eh
at the end of the day NZ, Aus and SA are all more than capable of beating each other on the night, thats why they are the three best teams in the world, and also why the european clubs are spending big bucks trying to poach players from the SANZAR nations ... support your team and take your losses on the chin, there is no shame in losing to australia if they play the better game on the night ... last week they deserved their win, this week we deserved ours
as for those who chose to "jump the ditch" cause Deans is coaching the wallabies, I think the next plane leaves in 3 hours, so you better pack and hurry, you dont want to miss it now do ya?![]()
The only reason the All Blacks won was because Ritchie was back in the team.
If Henry was any sort of a man he would acknowldege that. Still it was a good game and the AB's were the better team. I'm not one eyed Can tab. I'm blind in both eyes.

McCaws leadership was indeed notable but having a ref pinging the ockers at scrum time and at various other potential infringement areas gave us the momentum to win.
It's never just one man that wins a match no matter how much influence on the team he has.
Some would argue that Dan Carter won the game...others the loosies or tight five, particularly Tony Woodcock...its a team effort.
As a Cantab born & bred it makes me laugh and shake my head hearing disloyal people say they hope we lose just because Robbie Deans didn't get appointed All Blacks coach...True fans support their province/Super 14 Franchise/National team regardless of the coach FFS.
Fuckin fair weather friends
GO the AB's![]()
Still love ya Robbie. Funny how when Henry went to Wales the Acker's are saying much the same as I am now. Only I'm more right. Now where's me eye patch.

I wouldn't have picked it, coz I didn't know what the old rules were. I think I've watched one game right through in my entire life and even that one bored me to tears.
More interestingly, our neighbours cat is blind and although they call her Polly I've renamed her Pussy Magoo. Nothing at all to do with rugby (or this thread) but as I stated, more interesting.
