Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima I would have up there.

Agree Thin Red Line felt like a better watch than Saving Private Ryan

Tom Petty's star cameo turn saved it from the No.1 slot.

How is the Postman only at #25?

A movie so bad it felt like it took a year off my life and I still cant tell you what happened in it

Is anyone concerned about the performance of our pack? I must admit getting beaten to the punch in the possession stakes on the NH concerned me a little. Also, the ABs got destroyed in the scrum in the lead up to France's try but I'm prepared to put that one down to end of season fatigue. Happened ...

Monkey Magic

Starting to struggle with the monotony of 531, although liking the prgress on the lift - not mentioning OHP which is the devil. Have had 2 PT sessions this week using basically kettlebells and TRX (not necessarily at the same time), and felt absolutely smashed afterwards in a good way. Trying to fin...

Didnt this all blow up during the Olympics? The argument being that tax payers were funding all the sports programs that got people to the games and then had to pay again to watch Sky's coverage.

Not sure how much public money goes into NZR in particular for the ABs

Monkey Magic

Once went in for a tackle a got the point of the guys elbow straight on the cheekbone. Kept playing but we were such a crap team the opposition had scored a try within 2 min. Coach came on while we were under the posts. By then I couldn't see out the eye but I got pulled and sent straight to a&e. Tu...

Wallabies bossed most of the game at Eden Park

Monkey Magic

Now to not give away a stupid penalty and keep some momentum

Monkey Magic

That is disgraceful for a captain to come out like that

Monkey Magic

Too many bad kicks from Ireland had to get punished eventually

Monkey Magic

Really wish Peyper would tell both teams to stfu

and also the captains not to talk to him every single stoppage

Monkey Magic

How to make sure you keep a team with momentum even after turning it over..

Step one Aaron Smith do your clearnce
Step two Fekitoa wtf?

Just hard play innit?

Is that the footage from when Brodie got tackled away from the ruck and pulled down

Monkey Magic

Surely knock on by chasing Irish player?

Monkey Magic

Jesus Aaron Smith just made two effective tackles around the fringes

Monkey Magic

Anyone got a decent yet ridiculously biased view of what is happening in the scrums?

AB scrum few times it has happened has been steady, Irish one all over the place but ABs getting pinged suggesting it is unstable because of their skullduggery,,,

It's a long way from the wing to most rucks.

Our backrow is coming second by a way here, although covering when Smith was in the bin was excellent

Monkey Magic

Commentators are painful, Ireland should struggle without Henshaw and Sexton but still in it. All year ABs have been able to put in an electric 10 minutes which has sealed/got them into games, will need it here as Ireland keep pushing. Do wonder how much Ireland are going to suffer having to use so ...

Shame for him so far, he's been in great form domestically

Yeah hope he gets into it in both second innings and they stick with him for the next test

Monkey Magic

Astle not having a memorable match, a lot of time spent not involved.

Monkey Magic

Neesham of all people will know a good debut doesnt guarantee you much.

Bowling under 130ks you cant expect he will be that effective in most conditions, he really needs to make sure his batting is solid.

Aaand I really shouldnt have started typing that, sorry folks

Raval gone and then Amir comes up with a terrible sized no ball...

This, although that will happen if your forwards are getting smashed and you cant get your hands on the ball

Monkey Magic

ABs lost but have a chance for revenge in a couple of weeks. Ireland completely dominated for large periods of the game and their scores at the end more reflected how the game went. They withstood a massive AB fightback, took what the ABs threw at them and then said f you have some of this. Fantasti...

Monkey Magic

Also Naholo and Savea dont work as a combo, and Aaron Smith will be targeted heavily at breakdown defence

Monkey Magic

Awesome performance from Ireland and great that they got the result. As mentioned by people earlier in the thread, the AB come back started up when Ireland went a little into their shell, it started looking very similar to previous games where the old lines about teams not believing they can win aga...

Ireland are a genuine top team, think people still wrote them off as very second tier Schmidt read the email wrong about what he was meant to do with a foreign team Teams have two locks for a reason Lack of discipline meant Irelands tactic of running the ball back worked perfectly as they ended up w...

Monkey Magic

Think he has played well but he does have a habit of standing up out of the line offside which can give away penalties or leave a gap. Not sure if its him trying to make up for his lack of pace or just one of those things that has popped up for a wee while and will naturally go away.

Monkey Magic

While being increasingly annoyed about BCs losing, realising they have never won a series in India puts t in perspective. And while they currently have KW Rosco, Tim and an in form Latham, on paper the team isnt actually that flash With that in mind I will only be mildly throwing my toys out the cot...

Monkey Magic

That was not pretty from a test opener

Monkey Magic

Maybe the two teams should just play each other. I used to enjoy the possible vs. probables games. Maybe they should - but once you've it once then it could be a bit boring. Playing a bunch of other nations would be much more fun. 2004 game: Probables 29: Tries: Jerry Collins, Mils Muliaina, Andrew...
