cdnvic Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Great start from the ABs What a contrast to last nights game ABs having the upper hand at the breakdown and not playing the one dimensional game they played against the Argies, with kicks going in behind, turning the Aussies and keeping them pinned in their half Cruden playing well and Dagg being outstanding That first try was the best I've seen so far this year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8CNB9GwW5A&hd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other teams flyhalves arent exactly doing any better than Slade/Cruden/Weepu. Jonny is a shell of his former self and Cooper is brilliant for 5 mins and woeful for the other 75. Having seen Steyn already on the plane the Boks lose their long range kicking option......injuries were always going to play a part as all teams are finding out now. I still think its the blacks to lose but I also think the French are going to surprise through the knockout stages Saw this on the web earlier: ab-dc=(c+h+o+k+e) the French? that would be a surprise seeing that Tonga beat them yesterday It might appear that I know a little more about Rugby than people gave me credit for a few weeks back!!

The French have the best record of any Northern Hemisphere side, so let's wait a week for the last match, eh? And in other news, Australia 42 - 6 New Zealand at Ausgrid Stadium, Newcastle.

meatboy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 all blacks job well done,i think if it was any other team bar france on sunday it would be a great game,i cant get excited about it so hope i have to eat my words.i shall however look forward to the haka that has to be one of the highlights of this world cup,exspecially the antics of ally williams what a tongue for muff diving and the looks he gives are enough to send the shivers up anyone.i wish i was there to have a few rums with g.henry who i know personally.good luck[not that they will need any] to the abs. taffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 The French will head to Eden Park to face hosts the All Blacks in the World Cup Final. As they did 24-years ago, their third appearance in a decider, the same as New Zealand, while they have only once not reached the semi-finals, exactly as the All Blacks have. Could there be a more fitting opponent? http://www.allblacks.com/news/17816/Truly-fitting-the-French-stand-between-the-All-Blacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyboy Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 so whats the predictions for this weekends matches firstly, the Wales v Australia game should be close imo with a close win the welsh, Wales by 3 the final, All Blacks arent taking the French lightly, i dont think we will see any changes from last weeks game in the starting line up. Im sure we will see more blood this weekend as both teams will hammer it out to get forward domination, difference I see is the link between forwards and backs, and the firepower the ABs have in the backline. Kicking will be important as well, so hopefully Weepu will have recovered from his flu. Territory will be key. Im sure we will play it at a high pace throughout the 80 mins, so I expect we will see some tired bodies out there by 60 mins, which might open the game up. The ABs will hopefully get on the scoreboard early, and not let up till that final whistle goes..... I cant see it being close in all honesty, ABs by 20 (fingers crossed) its been a great RWC so far with a great buzz in NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatboy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 just received a page sent to me out of last sundays nz herald,horror decision by alain rolland to send off sam warburton,another papers headlines 14brave men and 1lunatic refereeing decision.so it got me thinking have the refs been told to take a much more leanient view of foul play,after the assault on shane williams by the ausi prop which was full of intent to hurt that player but not even a caution,he was lucky being the smallest player on the field he was knocked up in the air and was visably hurt.so lets see what happens tomorrow,with a south african ref [craig joubert] im thinking he might let a few things go unoticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyboy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) which haka is likely to be performed in tonights RWC final? (you may not even care but) i like ka mate, but ever since kapa o pango came out (2005) and its interpretation was known to me, i definitely prefer it Published words and the NZRU explanation Kapa o Pango kia whakawhenua au i ahau! -All Blacks, let me become one with the land Hī aue, hī!Ko Aotearoa e ngunguru nei! -This is our land that rumbles Au, au, aue hā!It's my time! - It's my moment! Ko Kapa o Pango e ngunguru nei! -This defines us as the All Blacks Au, au, aue hā! -It's my time! It's my moment! I āhahā!Ka tū te ihiihi -Our dominance Ka tū te wanawana -Our supremacy will triumph Ki runga ki te rangi e tū iho nei, tū iho nei, hī! - And be placed on high Ponga rā! -Silver fern! Kapa o Pango, aue hī! -All Blacks! Ponga rā! -Silver fern! Kapa o Pango, aue hī, hā! -All Blacks! Words chanted on field Taringa whakarongo! Kia rite! Kia ite! Kia mau! Hī! Kia whakawhenua au i ahau! Hī aue, hī! Ko Aotearoa e ngunguru nei! Hī au, au, aue hā, hī! Ko Kapa o Pango e ngunguru nei! Hī au, au, aue hā, hī! I āhahā! Ka tū te Ihiihi Ka tū te Wanawana Ki runga ki te rangi E tū iho nei, tū iho nei, hī! Ponga rā! Kapa o Pango, aue hī!' Ponga rā! Kapa o Pango, aue hī, hā!

StreetCowboy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Matt Rogers & Wendell Sailor in recent history both played Intl test matches for Union & League. I believe Sailor was a world-cup winner in 2000, but lost out in the final to England in 2003. Although Matt Rogers was in the cup-winning side of 2000, after his switch I think he did not play in the World Cup of 2003. I think Sonny Bill Williams did not play in the 2008 world cup. SC Brad Thorn, Australian rugby league international, missed out on the 1995 world cup through his participation in the Superleague in preference to the Australian rugby league. In 2000, he was on his way to New Zealand to play Union, so still looking for a cup winner in both codes... Congratulations to the All Blacks on a tremendous final against a fired-up French team who played to their ranking for the first time in the tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfish Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 just one question DonnyBoy. where were you hiding for the last ten minutes of the match ? in the garden having a fag, in the toilets with a stiff drink or behind the sofa chewing your fingernails off ? anyway well done mate, party on. the drinks are on you. btw. would i be right in thinking that just maybe tomorrow is going to be a national holiday down there in N.Z.

Donnyboy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 whew! what a game! didnt expect that one at all was sh*ting myself from the second half basically and yelling at the telly, wasnt the best performance of the day from the ABs admittedly but we came thru!! hats off to the french who played out of their skins. Knew they were up for it as soon as the haka started. anyway, its a public holiday today, and im off to get some meds for my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
