New Zealand 21 - 11 Ireland


Wales v South Africa kicking off soon, Argentina v Scotland later on!

[JKLever]

The important teams aren't playing today then?

[DJ_Smerk]

It appears South African politics are ruining every sport in SAF!

[JGK]

Apparently the score flattered the ABs.

Apparently the score flattered the ABs.

It did. Neither team was very good though.

[JGK]

Saffies v Wales is pretty entertaining at the moment.

[DJ_Smerk]

19-10 so far! Cymru am Byth!

19-10 so far! Cymru am Byth!

22-10.

What does that mean - 'Welshmen like Sheep' ?

[DJ_Smerk]

It means we're still not as good as the Saffies...

[PeterCS]

A thumping in the end.

If you "treated" the sheep that roughly, you'd not only need hospitalisation, you'd have the RSPCA round.

It means "Come on Wales / Up Wales!"

A buster from the south with accompanying rain & sleet. It was truly diabolical. The ABs scored two good tries. The Irish did squat with ball in hand. I'd rate the scoreline as fair.

Dreary game, where the All Backs beat the Munster pack up and a couple of flashes of brillaince in the rain.

Pretty dull game actually. Scoreline was apt as Mick said!

McCaw was outstanding again!

Nah. The foward battle was even.

[PeterCS]

Dreamy game, where the All Backs beat the Munsters, packed up and dropped their shorts for a couple of flashes of brillaince in the rain.

...

Fix.

Record 40-10 win by the Wannabees against the Caveman and his blue tribe. Giteau was again handy.

[JGK]

Giteau is class. PRetty average match though against an understrength Frog team.

ABs beat the Saffies though.

[skully]

Yeah, Robbie Deans must shake his head sometimes but then again that's why we are paying him the big bucks - to teach us some of that All Black skill and discipline.

But jebus Rubgy has become like a game of chess. Very regimented and formulated. Only for some Giteau brilliance it was a tedious match.

[Zat]

Aussie injury toll already starting to mount. Are our players a touch unfit?

[JGK]

The ref is killing the Wales v Wallabies game.

13 penalties in 35 minutes.

Fark!! i missed it. Thought it was a night game. Wobblies held on to win 20-19.
A clean sweep but obviously still some work to do before the four nations. Hopefully some of our walking wounded will become available by then.

[skully]

Aus try looked a bit dusty. To me, Horne looked like he lost it over the line.

As they say....read about it in the papers tomorrow.

[skully]

Indeed.

Same here...
