<p>If we're really lucky Rattpoo or Treason might make the publishing deadline and throw their opinions in too.</p> -

I think the forecast is that the weather will be pretty good, some rain in the morning clearing to a fine day/evening. -

<p>What tests in 2000 or 2001? They never happened...</p> -
<p>Normally I'm incredibly wary of any Aus side, but damn the ABs should pump the living shit out of that lot. The only thing that will defeat them is complacency and I reckon there might be plenty of that. How do you mentally prepare for Cooper at 10 and Foley at 12 other than by wondering if Cheika is just taking the piss?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope Barrett destroys the prick.</p> -

<p>I don't hate Cooper like so many kiwis seem to but seeing him and Foley eat dirt as big hard running munters like Kaino, Read, Fekitoa and Savea trample them would be most satisfying.</p> -

<p>Back to UB40 there's actually two bands calling themselves that and touring as if one UB40 wasn't bad enough.<br><br>
They are facing legal action though, maybe we could sue the NZRU and get them to stop calling the bloody sevens team the all blacks?</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Ha, true I remember reading that. Not unlike the situation where Dave Gilmour tours with "Pink Floyd" and Roger Waters tours and does what songs he is legally allowed to ( all that embarrassing loudspeaker shit from the Wall era which sucks shit in comparison )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Two UB40s really is hell on earth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On Cooper, there's any number of guys who've put some dirty cheap shit on Richie over the years, they don't get the same treatment. Grow up Stuff and Grow up New Zealand. You're just making fluffybunnies of yourselves now.</p> -
-
<p>Yeah, not advocating booing the prick. That shit is old and stupid. He should be shown the respect he deserves and completely ignored. The silence will probably freak him out as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm hoping he's handed his arse again so that idiots like Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaardo and lunatic Reds fans who think Kwade would have won them Lions series get served another dose of reality.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just saw that Kerevi is at 13. Good God. Surely Two Dads would have been a smarter choice.</p> -
<p>I'll never understand the continual non selection of AAC at 13. Completely baffles me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do however suspect that many others know (and care) more about the Aussie backline than me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking forward to watching Quade play. I still think he owes us and some point will get some sort of redemption. May be this weekend, at 9-1 I think it's worth an outside punt.</p> -
<p>Cheika's plans were leaked last night, slipped under my hotel room door. Apparently the masterstroke involves this blueprint and these odd seats for some reason. I need to analyse further.</p>

<p>I thought the booing got old years ago, still think Kqwuayde is a prize tool from the way he has behaved, and while been a while since he has been like that, thats the last I saw of him, so there you go....he hasnt redeemed himself in any way IMO</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I expect this will be closer than last week, but should still be 13+, Aussies may even score a try or 2.</p> -

<p>How's he supposed to do that ? send Richie flowers and an apology ?</p> -

<p>Seriously? Ricky has played eight minutes of professional football and you want him to be the hooker in case Coles goes down in the second minute?</p>

<p>Yes some people do get carried away on here at times. The guy's got a future but he's got a long, long way to go before being considered for ABs selection.</p> -

<p>by being a normal person, rather than an arrogant twat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know you think I take personal offence to any negative mention of Richie, but around that whole period with Richie, his off-field shit was grubbish as well. As I said, I seen SFA of him since to see if he is a humble bloke who has grown up since then, so he may have, so that would be what I meant by redeeming himself.</p> -

<p>Fair call, I just don't see how people think he's worth the hassle to be honest. It's just the kind of boorish shit that used to piss me off when I think back to Aussies booing Hadlee in the 80s. Difference is Cooper sure as shit ain't Rugby's equivalent of Sir Paddles....sure he acted like a cock but it's not like he's single handedly beaten the ABs since is it ? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, woulda been much worse if this weekends game was in Christchurch.</p> -
<p>I dont think its worth the hassle, I have met plenty of fellas in my life who I think are twats, I dont think of them, but then someone says hey do you remember MN6, and I'd be like shit its been years since I saw him, he was a bit of a fuckwit, I wonder if he has changed?</p>

<p> Unlikely, that guy is a real fluffybunny.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In any case I'll keenly watch the first time Cooper is in the action and see what actually happens. You'd think being mates with everyone's favourite cross code superstar would make people go easy on him though.....</p>
