isaia- cant wait till he gains confidence! will rip up....quite a talent there.

the all blacks oozed confidence.....especially risking using a rookie in toeava in a pretty big game....but a bloody good choice imo!!!

eaton-legend

most teams encounter that problem...

with the allblacks it is the only measure they can take!lol
'they are too tough, to hard....and dirty is the only hope of stopping them...but it fails constentley.

maybe if the wobs get some confidence and arnt so sloppy they might get somewhere.....forget swinging arms and spear tackles.( even though i honestly think lotes was an accidnet! )

 

[sonnyfaifan]

Woo good to see Piri on the bench ..ffs i just want him back out there..how i have missed him!!

piri 'white line fever' weepu

 

[sonnyfaifan]

good first half

we will probally lose but a good start, the all blacks are great but collins is overrated

rocky elsom = legend

palu smashed that wuss hayman


keep it going wallabies, i think we have proven in the last test against NZand the first half of this one that we are still one of the top rugby nations in the world and will threat for the world cup, while NZ and france are probally a step ahead we are still there

rocky elsom is a idiot, how many times does he have to be told to stay inside, not take out players and stay on his feet if he is going to play at the ball.

when the all blacks had the ball going for the eaton try he had to be told three times to get out of their in his ear, he went out finally and then came back in the side, if the try wasn't scored he was getting a yellow.

palu great work at kicking hayman in the head when hayman was on the ground. have a good rest tuquiri lucky waugh was not with you.

 

[sonnyfaifan]

pumpkins out of that game:

video ref for giving the elsom try - even georgie didn't think it was a try

knuckles - for saying it was richies fault the tackle went bad

aussie guy on the radio this morning - 'richies big enough so it was okay'.

and ffs friggin rocky elsom..he is so friggin dumb. he should have been sin binned ffs..

 

[Kim Possible]

"video ref for giving the elsom try - even georgie didn't think it was a try"
It wasnt a try ffs..dumb ****ing SA ref..he wanted us to lose!!..no one but him thought it was a try..the wallabies didnt, we didnt, hell even the ref didnt..asking him to confirm it 3 flipping times "your confirming its a try".."so your confirming its a try".."your confirming that your confirming its a try"

Tri hard with a vengence

20 August 2006
By DAVID LONG

All Blacks captain Richie McCaw said it was a frightening experience to have his neck yanked sideways by a spear-tackle from Lote Tuqiri.

McCaw wouldn't comment on the legality of Tuqiri's tackle although he did say he was surprised no action was taken.

"Looking back maybe (there should have been further action)," he said.

"But I was more worried about myself at the time, to be honest. It gave me a wee tickle-up but I managed to stay out there.

"I got a fright but from our position it's pretty hard to comment on.

"When you're in the heat of it there's things that happen and you don't know how they've happened.

"I got a bit of a fright, which you do when you end up upside down."

As McCaw was driven into the ground his neck creaked dangerously, but luckily the All Blacks captain escaped serious injury. He courageously remained on the field to lead the All Blacks to an incredible come-from-behind victory.

It wasn't the only time McCaw came for attention with dodgy play. He was also targeted by Rocky Elsom and Phil Waugh.

However, McCaw said it was just what he anticipated.

"I expected to get a fair bit of attention, sevens always do. It was hard to get anywhere near the ball at the breakdown, so they did a reasonable job there."

While McCaw will be nursing a sore neck today he can take solace that he has charge of one of the great All Blacks teams - statistically anyway.

The All Blacks' 14th successive win, and their 21st at home, left New Zealand one match short of equalling England's record of 22 consecutive triumphs on home soil.

also forgot a pumpkin to:
sunday news, i am the only one allowed to call the wallabies - wannabies

and

rocky elsom - for trying to spear nathan sharpe in a lineout.

 

[sonnyfaifan]

i am off to wash my flatmate mates car, i bet that locks would have scored three tries last night, got two of them and tryed to argue that elsom is tall as a lock.

 

[sonnyfaifan]

i just remembered georgies spear tackle in super 14, how many games did he get 0 or 1.

palu was strong, he completely owned hayman

Lote cops five-match ban

August 20, 2006 AUSTRALIA wing Lote Tuqiri was found guilty of a dangerous tackle and suspended until November 2 by a SANZAR judicial hearing today.

The Wallabies star was cited by match commissioner Willem Venter for a second-half spear tackle on New Zealand captain Richie McCaw in the 34-27 Tri-Nations loss at Eden Park yesterday.

The suspension covers five games but only one Test match, Australia's meeting with South Africa in Johannesburg on September 9.

Tuqiri is also suspended for the first three New South Wales matches in the Australian Provincial Championship, but he was going to rest from those games in any case.

He will also be ineligible to play the first midweek game on Australia's spring tour of Europe, against the Ospreys in Wales.
