Thread: counting down to the next rugby World cup, ticking the right boxes

A great quote from Steve Hansen...

...he must lift his team to face an Australian side they have beaten twice this year but who are coming off a 54-17 thrashing of Argentina in Rosario last weekend.

"They've been a good side but they've certainly struggled with their confidence,'' Hansen said of the Wallabies.

"This win will have given them an injection and, as we all know, you don't have to give an Aussie too much of an injection for his confidence to start coming out of his mouth.''

C'mon, you made that up, didn't you. At least we talk at the right end, not like some one from Te Ika-a Maui or Te Waipounamu. You may have to ask a real Kiwi what that means, Bob

Nup, verbatim from the NZHerald today...

I presume you meant talk 'from' the right end rather than 'at', hard to tell with you guys sometimes... injections and all...

Good to be a real kiwi too...

Glad to see you can read, also sad to see you are so desperate to make a point, you go to the lowest denominator. Still , to be expected. Time is on our side, not yours. Think about it. Bob

Bob, Bob, Bob... Why so serious son?

Your logic seems to be flailing around a bit these days, as your gladness at my literacy is a it late, your sadness appears correlated to the Wallabies fortunes rather than a single post here, and your expectations must be based on knowledge of others as you don't know me for a pint of bitter. Time is indeed on the side of anyone who can wait long enough. So is the law of probability... such is life, some days you're the pigeon, some days you are the statue

I wish I had said that. Btw, at the moment the Wallabies are the pigeons. Tell you something? Back at you, cousin. [ I don't believe I said that], Bob

just watched the Rugby 7's , what a competition. The best so far IMO. The final, NZ V Australia. NZ won, but the game of the comp. , as a matter of fact , was South Africa V Australia. Went to extra time, then went to 2nd extra time, the standard did not drop. Both sides were flat out, Australia won. In the final, Australia only had 10 players fit, instead of 15. They scored in the first kickoff. It was great to see the panic in the eyes of the NZ side, but of course, it could not last. The class of the NZ side showed thru. But the pigeons are getting ready for a crapathon. In both forms of the game. BTW, England were very impressive. Bob

I watch as much of Sherlock Holmes as I can. That statement identifies you as of English origin. No real Kiwi I know would say that. Moriarty, we meet again. Bob
