I Can't Believe We LOST

[Maggot4x4]

The South African Hoo Doo continues. 22-19

We had no ball in the second half but to be honest we did will to be that close. :angrylock::mad::(

[PeterM]

Booooo Hissssss. Mind you, only 3 points down when the Springboks are in good form isn't too bad I guess.

[MacMan]

Bumsniffers squabbling over a ball that isn't round.

[Mark86]

i could not believe it either until i heard we had not won at that ground since 1992...


Mark:)

[ladas]

Bloody good game though...........

[x-box]

Oyi, you Aussies can't expect to win everything.......... :p
Just be glad you did'nt play in Johannesburg or Pretoria, the high altitude would have made it worse for you :o

[shinz]

Its just the natural scheme of things, can't see why you're so down in the mouth :p, be happy if you make the quarters in the world cup ;) :D

As opposed to losing in the Semi's hey Steve. ;)

Twas a good game, we tackled ourselves to exhaustion. Now we just need to do something about winning some ball and it will be time to bring Bill home.

Just remind me when was the last time the Kiwi's made it to the finals of the World Cup, let alone won it :p

[Rayngie]

anyone also notice the Junior AB's vs Australia A score?

50-blot is a thumping on a massive scale for the 2nd best teams,

The South Africa game was very good, two very even teams, which is how it should be, 50-0 is plain embarrasing....

[Disco300Tdi]

0 - 50 looks like a crcket score...:eek:

Hey, every team has to have a specialty :D:D

Must be cause I'm an old scroate, that I can still remember back to the 1st world cup :( finals in second one in SA too. Went down hill once the game went pro & they became a bunch of overpaid nancies in licra skin suits but I'd like to think that under Graham Henry that might be changing a bit. It would be nice to think that the Australia A/ Junior ABs result mentioned above bodes well for the ABs future. Funny old game though.

I remember when the All Blacks got bailed out of the Cup in Fance in 1999. The news had a Kiwi supporter on the steps of New Zealand House in London where there was mass grieving and I'll never forget his quote "No guts. No pride in the jersey"

I watched the All Blacks play France a weekend or two back. They played brilliantly and are definitely on top in the skill department and running like a Tdi after an oil change. It's a pity they'll cave against teams that are not as good in the big games. Pity for you that is. Great news for us because you sack coaches of the calibre of John Mitchell and send them our way.:angel:

I knew I shouldn't have started on this, time will tell & hopefully the best team will win, & it will be a spectacle worthy of the game & Rugby will be the ultimate winner. Re John Mitchell, he was a hell of a player in his day & as a coach had all the technical skills but his autocratic nature & lack of man management skills probably made his tenure as ABs coach one of their lowest ebbs for a long time. He seems to have learnt from that time & moved on to better things with WA. Good on him.

Well given we are as good to make it as far as the quarters on our best day, I may as well wish you all the best. You are overdue. We Australians have to be satisfied that somebody beats the South Africans. Don't let us down.

I remember at the last World Cup I was watching England vs South Africa and ended up barracking for South Aftrica. I never thought that would happen. Had to take a thirty minute shower and go into counselling afterwards, low point.

How's that ugly French dude? Sebastian Cheval. I hope to see him again, he provided the kind of interest that only a cave man can bring.

Reads,

You reckon you made a mistake..

I just realised that our much anticipated NZ holiday is during the RWC. It will be unbearable if they beat us .. and, I suspect, equally unbearable if they do their usual trick and 'choke'...

What to do with 1 million depressed Kiwis?

Either way , just practice saying fush & chups & ask for a sex pack of beers & they'll never pick you. :D:D ( I drove Aussies around NZ & Europe on coach tours in my misspent youth so I can translate quite well.:p )
Just hope we're not still picking ourselves up after loosing the Americas cup.:(
