The Silver Fern

He was fucking offside. There is no argument.

It’d be awesome if Leiliifano makes the wallabies again after all he’s been through .

He started against Argentina, didn't he?

Dunno , life’s too short to watch the wallabies

He was there. It was awesome to watch. If he's starting 10 I would not begrudge the Wallabies winning the RWC. What a story that would be.

Stuff that.

Seriously dude, if you can't begrudge them a win because of CL then you have a heart of stone

I’ve met Lilo a couple of times. Great guy and awesome story. But it’s the Qantas Wallabies and the only time I ever remotely raise a smile when they play is if they beat the Boks. So no, I don’t want them to win the cup. No fairy tale for Christian. No redemption for Cheika. No vindication for the whole handling debacle of Folau. No way to seeing Hooper holding Billy Ellis.

Hold on a sec. Who said redemption for Cheika. This is solely about CL. For him and him alone I could stomach a Wallabies win.

except that wouldn't be the only story would it? All those other things would also come in a neat package.

Along with the reinforcing of the theory you can play dogshit test rugby for 4 years, and label it building for the world cup, and it's a successful practice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, NZ winning back-to-back RWCs was the best thing for world rugby. The emphasis on the RWC and the degrading of every other game inbetween were a blight on the game. Clive Woodenknob even mentioned the farking RWC as a yardstick when his Lions were reamed. After a Lions series FFS. But Aus were probably the worst. That "building nicely for the world cup" BS was infuriating. Definitely don't want that back.

Well he did go from winning the RWC to getting hammered 3-0 so I can completely see his point to be fair.

Although if those results were reversed I'm sure his stance would too.

In much the same way when he said he could easily achieve in soccer and cricket what he’d achieved in rugby that was believable. After all 76-0 is a score you associate more with cricket than rugby .

Btw he said that before the poms actually won the rwc .

Yeah I could handle Johnson, Dallaglio, Greenwood, Back, Hill and other Poms that I admired as players winning the RWC.

The fact Woodward and Dawson did shits me no end.

Was Austin Healey in that 2003 team? He was the biggest pillock of the lot. Goldie absolutely made him his bitch in 98. How the f did he make the Lions?

Healey has written a couple of decent columns which put him a bit higher in my estimation.

Matt Dawson did the hakarena which confirms what a grade A dickwad he is.

Healey seems like you could have a beer with him , Dawson is the annoying loud cock at every bar you avoid eye contact with in case you get stuck talking to him .

I had to re-read that as I thought you were talking about some TSF folk for a second.

Not many here that I wouldn't have a beer with.

Admittedly that is because I like beer.

@reprobate Rieko did not play vs Argentina.

Completely invisible. Useless.

It's quite a dilemma, I don't want him fired for that, but I never want to listen to him again either.

@MrDenmore said in Hurricanes vs Rebels:

Can someone get Brad Shields on the phone?

I tried for you but he dropped it.

@nzzp said in Rugby World Cup news:

Someone on here (Snowy?) wound up being assumed to be a serial killer with bodies in the basement.

Assumed? The only reason I'm not locked up is Owen's first judiciary heard my case.

@MN5 said in Foster must go:

@BartMan said in Foster must go:

@MN5 that was the only good thing to.cpmw.out of the test.

The fact this result brings @BartMan out if hibernation says it all.

Who next, @Red-Beard ? Any others ?

I have just made room for Foster in the basement.

To answer the actual question:

You lot.

@Daffy-Jaffy said in Bledisloe #2:

SouthernMann had the good oil!

Yes, but he keeps naming the team on a Wednesday FFS. All the rules have gone out the window.
I'm going for a lie down.

@Steven-Harris said in Hurricanes v Blues:

A poor red zone exit

I call them "Blexits".

It's where you want to leave but just don't go anywhere.

Glandular fever is debilitating, had it in my late teens. Took about six months to get over, could still do stuff, just got really tired.

Ruined my All Black career.

@Crucial said in Ultimate NPC: - Ta$man:

I guess you can select from M and NB as well

It's Ta$man, you can pick from anywhere.

@Jaguares4real said in Bledisoe #1:

When the main objectives of these game are to test out new combinations, perform well & avoid any injuries

The main objective for an All Black is to win. At all cost. Always.

@Rancid-Schnitzel said in Bledisloe #1:

Actually I have no fooking idea.

It doesn't matter. Nobody has a clue what is going on but stick to your guns, never back down, argue your side of an argument that doesn't exist. It's just the way it is done here.

I know the narrow field in Chicago has been discussed, but I just learnt that we didn't actually lose.

A rugby field must be a minimum of 68m, Soldier field was 73 yards apparently (66.7512m) and not therefor legitimate according to world rugby.

World Rugby Passport - Laws of the Game

That should be stricken from the records.
Did I just win a game for the Abs? I'm claiming it anyway.

@Hooroo Of course they do, where else would they get controversial and idiotic ideas, theories and analysis ( used loosely) from?

@Victor-Meldrew said in RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1):

Only need that English chick who always wanted to be a mod to drop by if England win. Didn't Kirwan made her "Princess" or something?

A bit harsh. Dodge was usually alright...

If it walks like a dork, talks like a dork, etc...

I thought that the whole offside thing was justice for them being offside many other times during the match. They only got called on it because it led to a try. It should have happened several times earlier.

@Snowy @taniwharugby @MN5

I am wondering who Al Black is...

Otere's brother?
