poms vs convicts

[HSVGTSCoupe]

how frustrating is that? we dish you up a decent serve at rugby HQ today, dominte the pack, on fire with the kicking. Don't get me wrong, luvin the sweet victory but it begs the question....


WHY THE fk CANT WE DO THE SAME IN THE FRIGGIN RWC WHERE YOU TURN US INTO JELLY REGARDLESS OF FORM???

and FFS don't give me that stock answer "JW" cos that's bks, as good a player as he is, he really had nout to do with the last win in France.

Perhaps you get refs who referee the scrums at RWC ?
Seriously though I guess it matters more at RWC.

There's always the possibility of us not gifting you three quarters of your points when it actually matters.

It's a "lulling into a false sense of security" type scenario. Nothing more hilarious than seeing the bragging, and gloating antipodeans getting beaten!

Interesting choice of words from the vanquished

There's nothing more satisfying than watching the pompous, braying hosts get beaten. Then start dragging out words like "rebuilding" and various other excuses.

Was the same in the rugby league. The commentators were actually talking about the Aus vs England final before the game against NZ! Comical.

You mean the 'pompous braying hosts' of 2003 RWC surely?

You sound happier that England lost than Australia won Must be a true "fan"

Congrats to Australia; they played better, took their chances and kicked more successfully. England have a lot more work to do.

Im not a fan of either. Im from NZ Its just boring that there are certain commentators who are obsessed with the way NZ, Aus and SA rugby teams (and fans) conduct themselves. Read Stephen Jones blog in the Times and every second article is about NZ.

The fact that they call us arrogant is so massively hypocritical. Teams who win consistently have to believe that they will win. If that comes accross as arrogant then thats a problem for the opposition's mental preparation than the team in question.

You guys beat yourself before you play because you have in built excuses about rebuilding, new coaches, new combinations etc etc. If a new player comes into the AB's or Aussie teams they are expected to perform and there is a structure there that will support them to do it. Very few players from either of those teams are in and out of the team like players like Hodgson, Lewsey or Tait. Look what happened when Woodward had a team centred around Wilkinson, Dallaglio and Johnson.

I see you've missed the point completely... Well done.
