So who is gunna win the comp AD ?....given Australia's form of late are any Aussie teams a hope ?

aussie dollar · #3 10-02-2006, 02:47

waratahs have some new players and new coach like them but are my team,the NZ team Canterbury Crusanders which won last year will be hard to beat won trail againest Tahs 32-30 last week.

nelsonone · #4 10-02-2006, 04:05

Yep AD............Crusaders fer sure.......but Waratahs will make a good show of most of their matches........Auckland Blues will also have a good year after a crap one last year

Mav · #5 10-02-2006, 05:59

Yes l follow the Waratahs.....but not that closely......not really into AFL either anymore....game has changed 4 the worse.

Didn't mind the Swans winning......although the way they play the game is part of the overall problem....but the rot set in b4 they emphasised it.

Good wins to my home town teams.............Waratahs and Hurricanes

Both looked good!

Wendell's a wanker..............

aussie dollar · #9 20-02-2006, 15:09

cant work out why the waratahs bought Wendall,dont think hes a very good rugby player.
good away win but think 5/8 spot may be a problem for us,would love to see Rogers play 5/8 think he would be great.let hope he gets over his fathers suicide soon.
tim donnelly had a shocker before being replaced,bad kick-penalty,forward pass-try from scrum,bad kick-penalty,indirectly gave stormers 20 points,replaced at 25 min mark.
seem to be playing one phase rugby will need to improve heaps in attack to be really competive IMHO

nelsonone · #10 21-02-2006, 07:40

spot on Cliff...........shoulda spent the money on a good 5/8..........we already have enough wingers.........and we lost Lachlan McKay to those Perth sausagejockeys so it should have been 1st priority.......

Also agree that is the spot for Matt Rogers when he comes back!!!

Bloody Wendell plays like a BM...always pissed......(did you hear the tale from South Africa...........he's banned for a week!!!!!!!........same place as he and Henjack got into trouble last year.......... d1ckhead)

GFood win against the Stormers...............in SA too!!!!!

aussie dollar · #11 21-02-2006, 13:32

wendall was with henjack when he had his trouble in SA sailor has 2 suspended games to serve now by the looks of it.

like the headline "What do you do with a drunken sailor" made me

send him back to the canetoad area I reckon

You are absolutely right about DC Johnnie......his radar on set kicks was way out the window last weekend.......like I've never seen before.....but his general field kicking was still great and he still scored a try and set a couple up...(one with a geat cross field kick) he won't have another kicking game like that in the future now for a long time.........he's just too good.........he had an 80% + success rate last super 12 season...........everyone has a bad day but you just don't expect it from him...

They should send Wendell to stay with John "knuckles" Conelly.............the new Wallabies coach.........for the time he is suspended.........that'd sort the wanker out!!!!

aussie dollar · #16 23-02-2006, 15:25

grapevine news
David Lyons wont be named in Tah's starting team this week lucky theres 7 reserves in the 14's.
Donnnelly wont be picked after last week.
Norton-Knight for fullback

dawsey · #17 24-02-2006, 02:47

Damn I need Sky Sports to catch this.
The Super 12 's I have seen in the past were always enjoyable.

aussie dollar · #18 24-02-2006, 02:50

They are normally good games and the bonus point system seems to create open running rugby,which is great to watch.
shame it cant be world wide with maybe a uk, european, and pacific club team.

Agreed there AD.....the bonus point system keeps the game alive to the end with both teams still either trying to score the 4th try or to come within the 7 point margin for the extra point...........it's a great incentive to score tries and to keep going when you are ahead.........

I'd love to see a Pacific Islands team too..........it would be very entertaining........but I think we'd see a few red cards for high (coconut) tackles...

Tah's and Hurricanes for me again this weekend......tho' it's a tough one for the Tah's

nelsonone · #20 27-02-2006, 04:38

Good weekend for the Kiwi teams.....all 5 winners!!!!!

Shame the Tahs lost but pitted against the Bulls at home in high altitude this loss cannot be too disappointing.........

Oh well my two home teams are both still in the top 5............

It was good to see some running rugby and plenty of tries scored........particularly after watching England vs Scotland.....The 6 Nations needs the bonus point system for tries scored too methinks.....but maybe they should reduce that to 2 tries for them..........55555......
