The Chiefs will have to play a lot better than that to win the title . Was last year their best effort ? We played crap and beat the playing thru Champs. I'll take that and we'll get better Im with you Enz, a few salty comments from Saders as usual when we beat them. :D ;) Will just have to hug our...

Congrats you smelly Chiefs.

One has to ask... why aren't the defending champions awarded an opening game at home...??

I can't remember when the Crusaders opened their season at home.

Thank-you Sir.

Is this game watchable? Highlights or full match?

Eng v Wales thread seems abysmal...

Well done Aussies (you cheating fcuks) you bet the Indian cheating cnuts!!

I couldn't be bothered wading through all the pages but just an idea for the next RWC... why don't you have the top 4 sides at the previous RWC ranked 1-4 and then pool the next teams...

I really don't get this competition. Hard to find accurate updates/coverage. A Fiji v PNG men's final? A NZ women's development team? Three pools for the men’s & women’s tournament but two pools are for Olympic qualification teams and the third pool is just to give pre-Dubai match practice to those...

Crusaders don't have an ABs front row. Taylor is taking a sabbatical. Canes have 1 regular AB in the front row and 1 former AB. You're trying to hard mate . Are you trying to make Blues fans feel sad or something? :lol: Hmmm... yes Taylor is taking a sappatical/injury break... yes but they still ha...

Strength in the backrow & backline, but tight five looks pretty weak. Fourth in the NZ sides just above the Highlanders. ? Our first choice tight five is quite strong: 1.

What happened? They were a strong ODI side a few months ago, or so I thought. Anyway, I'm still hoping for an SA vs NZ final, but I'm expecting India vs Australia 😴 Concentrating more on T20, bad coaching... who knows? SA vs NZ would be great, but India will definitely be there and Australia gettin...

England all out for 129 within 35 overs. Propping up the base of the standings below Bangladesh, Netherlands, and Afghanistan. Complete gash.

Well done boks, controlled the big moments.

Congrats!!

So if Eddie goes, who are the possible candidates to replace him?

I know. Not sure why it's taken me so long to watch from the start.

I remember my 18 year old (!) brother crying in his room after that match. I was 15 so I just shrugged and masturbated to a lingerie brochure. So, the All Blacks couldn't pull it off, so you thought you would? The ABs couldn't raise the trophy, so he thought he'd raise his. He brought his own creme...

The way the All Blacks were trying to run up the score with the clock in the red was appalling sportsmanship. Kiwi teams routinely do this, and when I call them out the simpimg kiwi posters cry about points difference. No points difference in a semi final when you're up by 50 points. Just a bunch o...

Sorry mate - should've chimed in. It was indeed a great game and I wouldn't have been upset if the Whanganui boys had won it.

Oh yes, they cane down with all guns blazing.

If we won the RWC I’d be over the moon - it’s not something I think this AN team is capable of. if we won I’d be very happy for Foster , Cane and the team. But even if we win i am glad there is a new coach next year - we need new blood 4 yrs ago and it was only the introduction of two strong assist...

The problem with Reiko is that he shoots forward quickly and doesn't have the footwork of say Conrad Smith to compensate when stepped by the opposition. He actually makes some good important tackles because of his straight line speed to the player though, it's not always a liability. So he ends up ...
