Rugby Union - International/Super 14/NPC..ANYTHING!
Wellington will choke yet again....
Now where is my eye patch ;)
:finger: :finger: :finger:
And the ref was a cunt.
Oh man that Hurricanes Chiefs game was fucking tight to watch, massive end for the Hurricanes. So stoked :D
I am fucking tis custard :confused:
Canes game was pretty painful to watch :/
Looks like sonny bill has been signed. I wonder what team he will go to. I am hoping the canes or the blues, but he likely to go to the crusaders.
I can't see the down side for the NZRFU on this deal.I doubt they would have paid him huge money for 18 months and if he fails no big loss.If he tears the place up and kicks on to the Ab's then all good for the World Cup.Oh one down side if it turns into another SBW circus but I don't think NZ rugby fans will put up with that shit anyway.
He needs to lose that idiot aussie boxer mate of his imo.
He can't play for the Crusaders, they already have there quota of "Darkies". To the mighty Highlanders it is!!!!

But he's white? :s

I believe he is Samoan. So under hadens definition of darkies, which is all pacific islanders, he couldn't get selected.

On his dad's side and was born & raised in New Zealand. Pretty sure that doesn't come under Samoan otherwise 50% of the country would be another nationality :\
What I was trying to say is don't base it off technical availability for a nation.
Pretty sure darkie refers to someone with dark skin ~_~
Yeah kinda silly discussion my bad >_>
On another note, Canterbury chasing Dagg and Thompson. Canterbury rugby, whilst successful, is rather detrimental to the NZ rugby scene imo. Massive player drain into them to the negative effect of therest of the unions.the highlanders.
Terrible defence in the second half :(
where will robbie fruean go.
Anyone seen the Squad Selection?
All Blacks squad for Tri-Nations: Forwards: John Afoa (Auckland), Anthony Boric (North Harbour), Tom Donnelly (Otago), Corey Flynn (Canterbury), Ben Franks (Tasman), Owen Franks (Canterbury), Jerome Kaino (Auckland), Richie McCaw (capt - Canterbury), Keven Mealamu (Auckland), Liam Messam (Waikato), Kieran Read (Canterbury), Brad Thorn (Canterbury), Victor Vito (Wellington), Sam Whitelock (Canterbury), Tony Woodcock (North Harbour). Backs: Daniel Carter (Canterbury), Jimmy Cowan (Southland), Aaron Cruden (Manawatu), Israel Dagg (Hawke's Bay), Cory Jane (Wellington), Richard Kahui (Waikato), Mils Muliaina (Waikato), Ma'a Nonu (Wellington), Rene Ranger (Northland), Joe Rokocoko (Auckland), Conrad Smith (Wellington), Benson Stanley (Auckland), Piri Weepu (Wellington).
Not considered due to injury: Mike Delany (shoulder), Stephen Donald (shoulder), Jason Eaton (knee), Andrew Hore (shoulder), Sitiveni Sivivatu (shoulder), Isaia Toeava (hip) and Ali Williams (Achilles).
I back Henry as a coach, but fucken hell he needs to get over Joe Rokocoko, the guy is bloody useless. And instead of Guilford?GTFO.
Now now kila I anticipate :) - Dan Carter, Sonny Bill, Rene Ranger, Cory Jane, Julian Savea, Israel Dagg.
Mean, maori, mean
do you mean that you cantabrians are gonna poach ranger too lol
I wonder what ranger will do tho. Hes a bit erractic for test rugby, so i was surprised he was picked.

Nonu used to be once upon a time, now he's the fucking man. I wonder if Ranger can be fixed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.................
Donald is worse than Brett
I'm a Blues fan dude :(
Feel my Brett pain :(
He sucks sooo bad
edit: Note to all RFU CEO's. NOT EVERY 1ST FIVE FROM CUNTERBARY IS A SUPERSTAR
Is that why Donalds in the ABs and Brett is on the bench for an itm cup side?
Confirmed!
Donald is total shit.
See my previous Donald post.They keep giving him chances and he keeps on failing.
Jesus fucken wept - it wasn't all Donald's fault. Maybe take a look at the shit defence that went with it. Toeava (the biggest joke in an AB jersey since Colin Farrell) missed TWO tackles, not one. He was directly responsible for both the tries the Wallabies scored to win the game, yet Henry and co keep picking the useless bastard. And don't give me any bullshit about "he hadn't played for a while" - ffs, why was he picked if he wasn't up to it?
can anyone tell me why matt giteau is so highly rated.
I love All Black 'fans ' with the " I hope the opposition win " attitude. If your that bitter about the 'rotten' situation i'm surprised you watch at all.Actually, while Henry's in charge i'm not! It was only once i found out they'd lost that i watched the replay, and it was most satisfying.
They aren't a "team" anymore - they are a brand. Unfortunately as a "fan" i don't expect you to be able to figure out the difference. Keep buying into the hype, the brand's the only thing that matters now and as long as they have enough people like you who are "loyal to the bitter end" then there'll be no reason to change.
i didnt notice any whining when the AB's were winning
but what would we know, we are just 'fans'

To be fair, look on the last page of this thread, and you will see everyone complaining about donald. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
How does the Aussie Gold jersey fit you Tofu?
It's not Aussie Gold, it's Canary fucking Yellow! ;)
Canary Yellow? That's Australian Gold my friend and don't you fucking forget it!
Even if Tofu was the coach and we lost all the games, I'd still support them instead of jumping ship or wishing they would lose.So why should Henry have been reappointed as coach after the last World Cup?
Just out of interest,in Tofu's new kingdom of rugby after we lose the world cup to the aussies and the coaching staff and the NZRFU are lined up and shot,then what? How would you stop the "rot"?
Simple - Gatland.
Not to mention the fact that Henry has always dropped the ball the longer he's been with a team - in fact he walked out on Wales and Auckland when the going got tough.
A bit of niggle in the test.We played quite poorly especially in the second half.England played better than i have seen for years.We still won but Stephen Jones from the telegraph will still tell us we didn't.
Sonny bill williams eh. Really had a big game last night. Well all of the backline did. It will be a tough battle to get a spot on the starting line up, with so many players in good form.
Glad we put a decent amount of points on the Scottish.
Also, lol wallabies lose to england.

Waits for Tofu....
did you guys get to see the Manu Samoa smashed him bro special on The crowd goes wild
there were so many hits in that game from the samoans they were able to do a special dedicated to them
was crack up, everytime the said smashed him bro some one went chuuuu huuuuuu! lol
Add Brian Lima in that line - who'd want to run at the Samoans then?
Great game,1st half was excellent.Oh, absolutley - the rest of the teams shouldn't even bother turning up, it's in the bag.
The rwc is ours to lose surely.

Like every rwc in recent memory

This is why I have trouble getting into the spirit of supporting the all-blacks every RWC
Putting the boot in one sec, sucking cock the next. Objectivity be damned. NZ media in general.
Matt Todd > Vito
What
Your posts have always made so much sense up until now.
Your not seriously suggesting putting an untried/uncapped player into a world cup squad? I see your point from a specialist point of view but Todds way to inexperienced for that level.
ranger > sbw
I hope ranger comes to the NRL where his skills would be appreciated
Parochial.
Ma'a Nonu's boots:

Yeah, $#@! they're ugly. Detract from the game imo.
God I hope the All Blacks turn up for the 2nd half, a group of school kids are playing the 1st.
I was just thinking you would show up with constructive criticism .
Beautiful game plan from the All Blacks, deliberatly hold off on all aspects of the game in the 1st half so we could practice our ability to come back in the second. Then let them through for a try to take the game leaving the Aussies with a false sense of security and hope for the RWC. A masterstroke by the three wise men, and our captain, and our mole MR Deans in the middle of the aussie camp. Bring on the RWC.
Argentina & Samoa!
I want them to cause a few upsets
Is it madness appointing a guy with a history of depression the head coaching job of the Blues ?
Defensive strength.
I'm looking forward to it! Crusaders to bring it in this time :D
