Rock - can you see the match, or have you got commentary?


Fabulous drop goal for NZ

Australia 3 - New Zealand 11

commentary only.

and brit. they don't like either team a lot...

but I'm having fun.

and I have the IBF scoreboard.

Not looking good.

aaarrrggghhh!!!

gosh, that surprises me, the UK has a huge respect for both teams


such a shame you can't see the game, it's fast moving and the Blacks show the rest of the world how we should be playing!

I can feel the domination coming through their words.

the blacks are relentless...

"Have you ever looked at an entire rugby team and wondered what it would be like if they all attacked you at once? Quade Cooper knows exactly what that feels like."

yep, on both counts.


HEAD'S UP AUSSIES

C'MON AUSTRALIA!!!!

DROP GOAL


YAYAYAYYAY


Australia 6 - New Zealand 11



The Aussies have the potential to score tries... they do!

C'mon Aussies, oy, oy, oy

Geez, Cooper is FAST!

Penalty

Australia 6 - New Zealand 14



Head's UP Australia

Half Time...

ya know, Australia could come back, if they can get a score early on in the second half... they have a chance

OK... putting 't kettle on and going to see if S-boy is awake... back in a bit!

The Aussies have to do a lot better in the second half! I'm drinking my rum and coke by the glass full to lift my spirits.

No earl grey for me thanks Izzie.

half-time fun...



I've been saving Michael Hunt's 'Animal Rugby' email for half-time. Here goes: "So on to the important question. If forced to pick a starting 15 for a game of rugby from the animal kingdom, who do you pick? Having pondered this at length (I don't get out much) there are still a few gaps in the centres, don't really know who to pick, and not sure if the three bears is pushing it.

1. Hippo (simple power)
2. Gorilla (hands for feet would help with hooking)
3. Rhino (power, plus a bit of nuzzling could be interesting for the opposition front row)
4. Elephant
5. Giraffe (good in the line-out but might be an issue in the scrum)
6. Kodak Bear
7. Grizzly Bear
8. Polar Bear
9. Monkey (good hands)
10. Kangaroo (good boot)
11. Buffalo (reflection of the modern game, speed is rarely enough for wingers now, need to be monsters too)
12.
13.
14. Springbok (speed and seems appropriate)
15. Cheetah (combo of speed and tackling)

I think Ima have some peaches and ice cream.

anybody else?

s-boy...?
