I'd love to see the All Blacks...

Do it again in 2015... But this time with less wear and tear on my nails, as I sat in the stand.

My favourite place to watch the All Blacks is:

Anywhere... but got to love the Cake Tin.

AllBlacks wary of their "arch-rivals"

15 October 2012 11:37 AM

winger Digby Ioane (knee) and Radike Samo (bicep) are in doubt to face the All Blacks, the Wallabies' recent injury woes have been somewhat eased by the return of several key players. Adam Ashley-Cooper has been cleared to play after missing the 25-19 victory over Argentina due to concussion, while Wycliff Palu could make his long-awaited return from a shoulder injury.

and so a win in this game, is perhaps the only thing that could save Deans from the axe... just a thought...

So ABs will win this game easily, because they played like crap last time and still made the Aussie look like a tier two team... we are much better then that game now and the Aussies (with more injury worries) are worse... Then the Aussies will head out to the end of year tour and lose a game or two... Deans will get sacked (and when he applies for a new role I bet he takes Ritchie off as a referee on his CV)... Then all the Aussie talent will return fit and ready to go and the next Aussie Coach (and I think we know who that will be) will start his tenure as the hero that beat the Lions... Just reading the tea leaves guys...

New global sponsor signs up to support NZ rugby

Oh and love the bit about expanding the game globally... can name a few countries I would not want to wear an American company on my jersey in... for all those wanting to own an AB jersey, DONT WEAR IT IN THE MIDDLE EAST...

The thing I hate is that it distracts from the fern... The Addidas logo doesnt, because its the same size... The steinlarger logo didn't because it was the same size... The AIG logo is where your eye goes to on this shirt... It detracts and therefore undermines the significance of the Fern... THAT is what is so wrong about this... If it was on the sleave or the shorts, it would NOT detract from the Fern... by putting it there it does... The NZRU just sold the Fern...

You know I thought they would have gone for something subtle on the shorts or sleaves (similar to the World Cup jerseys of last year)... On the front is just wrong... I dont consider myself too much of a traditionalist, but in this case... sorry its WRONG

AllBlacks lucky despite Woodcock injury cloud

21 August 2012 10:32 AM

Please Woody get better, do not inflict Crocket upon us... Yes I know all you Crocket fans love his work rate around the field... but first task on a props Job Description is the scrum, and this guy sucks at scrum time, and at the end of the day, do the "must do" stuff well first and look for the "nice to have" after... The props most important must do is the scrum... Crocket against a good pack will get set up and pinged by the ref all day...

Hansen not into refereeing debate

21 August 2012 10:27 AM

Well said Shag, own it... Ref can only be pedantic on the whisle if he has something to be pedantic about... Be disciplined and stop the penalties... simple...

Woodcock only worry for AllBlacks, as Springboks name tourists

20 August 2012 4:19 PM

Dont pick Crocket, anyone but Mr Penalty... As an ex prop I have to say Crocket's scrummaging just annoys me, and surely we must have someone better out there...

Scans confirm worst fears for Pocock

20 August 2012 4:09 PM

Pokok down and Bismark down for SA... bit like the ABs durring the last world cup... But the trick (as the ABs showed then, is to still win, even if you have your second choice playing in a role... actually for the ABs it was their 4th choice first five at the final...
