[Closed] Internationals on Saturday

I agree about the Wales game. We'll play sixty minutes of great rugby before losing. Oh, and the New Zealand back row won't be subject to the same rules as every other rugby nation (Always happens, as it did last weekend against Australia. Oh, and remember to call them New Zealand, not their chosen brand name. It really annoys them! 😉 )

England? Can't see it I'm afraid. There's really not a team there, more a group of individuals assembled by a man with little or no management experience (Put their on playing reputation, not on managerial ability)

ENgland to start slowly then come out close winners over NZ. 3 sin-bins

Australia to crush france. Cricket scores.

Erm, NBT, you might want to look at the fixtures...

Everyone knows the REAL All Blacks are either Neath or Launceston anyway. Petty minded tw@s at the NZRFU even tried to sue Launceston over the fact that they are known as the Cornish All Blacks.
As such, I shall take every opportunity to wind them up.

Why are they the 'real' ones? Launceston's a lot younger as a club, and I'm sure that trying to trademark the name was just a publicity stunt. Don't know about Neath though- how long have they been trying to trade on the back of somebody else's image and success?

(Bait taken, now how to play this fish.....take it in to the shallows for a while? Let it run in to deeper water? Hmmm..... 😈 )

It's a game and it's there to be played Flashy..

😆

It's a nickname, not the real name, therefore I shall continue to refer to the New Zealand Rugby Football team. 😆

Neath started playing in all black strips back in the 1880s, I believe. Some twenty odd years before New Zealand started to use the name.

mmm, playing in all black strips isn't exactly the same as calling yourself All Blacks though, is it? You're a funny chap, Flashman.

Anyway, let tomorrow's events speak for themselves. Hopefully it'll be a worthwhile contest.

The English front five are probably the least inspiring combination of rugby players in recent memory. The Aussies aren't in great form but will probably get more ball than they did in the Tri-Nations and have some great backs. It'll boil down to whether England can defend properly and allow Saint Johnny to land his penalties. Its great to see him back at the top level.

Wales vs NZ, I reckon the Welsh will try and run it from everywhere and get severely punished for any mistakes. Wales are missing a few big names and New Zealand have lost a bit of consistency so it could be scrappy but it'll be fun to watch.

Its a good day's sport tomorrow with the rugby and then Haye-Valuev later on.

the OP didn't specify the code - I was shocked when I found it wasn;t about proper rugby ! 🙂

Wales are missing a few big names

And they're shite too 😀

nbt, but league rugby is dirty, wrong and $hit. 🙂

back to the man's game...IF england can beat a below par aussies, then we'll have Argentina and run NZ close, if the Aussies win then the autumn will be very painful.

can't see Wales winning against NZ, NZ always seem to turn up with 'new' players with masses of talent and bottle, not to mention physical dominance...too early in the season for Wales to be any good, they'll be there or there abouts by the 6 nations though.

Wales will be bent over as they are every time they play the all blacks (this time, honest bach!).
No matter the winner, the england aus game will be really dull.
The ireland SA game is the one I can't wait to see.

just got back from Twickenham, damp squib was right - not worth the price of the ticket - good job I didn't pay for it 🙂

flash was right, England looked great on paper but there's no cohesion at all and no apparent strategy
saying that, Australia were pretty poor, although the defended well

hope the NZ match is better

Was it me or was there some really dodgy 'tache's on the wallabies today?

wasnt it for 'movember' for mens health awareness
