Yeah true, Australia had to rebuild massively so they're due to start winning again. Speaking of coaches, I lived in Christchurch when Robbie Deans missed the coaching job, man it was unbearable cos Cantabrians are the most one eyed rugby fans you'll ever meet LOL!

Going into the Rugby World Cup both of them are in a much better position than we are, also as I mentioned before our coaches are fuckin idiots.

I have paid hardly any attention to rugby this year, but I would be surprised if we won the tri-nations. Bledisloe we may win only cos Aussie is poos, or has been in recent times, but who knows.

| | | Becks wrote: | | Ah man Ponting really grinds my gears! LOL! Such a twit. Yeah the great thing is we know we won't win this WC, we have nothing to lose. The opposite of the All Blacks who people think should win everything so when they lose there's a massive brouhaha in the media LOL.
| | | jimmyjames wrote: | | They're the same in cricket, Ponting is nice as pie when they're winning but starts acting like a spoiled brat everytime they lose. Australia will get smashed at this World Cup. NZ will do ok, they're not capable of winning it but they'll surprise a few people. (Quoting Message by Becks from Saturday, May 29, 2010 8:27:27 PM)

Grella is bloody lucky he didn't break Bertos' leg in that first tackle, what an idiot. The number of Aussies around the place saying 'aggression is part of the game, kiwis just need to harden up' is a little mind boggling - it's soccer, not boofhead style rugby league. If they play like that in the world cup they will get smoked and will lose players for games due to red cards.
I'd say if we keep on playing how we are we will really push a few teams in the WC. After this mornings win the other teams in our pool will be sitting up and taking more notice.

Yeah he refs in the States and apparently he's a real no bullshit type of ref, loves handing out the reds. I'd say the reason he kept them in his pocket would be that if anyone got a red they'd be forced to sit out world cup games. Bet ya anything the Aussies knew the ref wasn't going to be sending people off and kept that piece of info to themselves whilst they went about trying to wreck our chances by injuring guys. Aussies are sneaky, underhanded, little pissants and they hate it when things aren't going their way.

Yeah, the ref did that in the first half too. 2 minutes of extra time given, 3 minutes extra played. Apparently the ref said to Ryan Nelsen that he would have given those two Aussies red cards if it wasn't a friendly. WTF? An illegal tackle is an illegal tackle.

And it was in the fourth minute of the three minutes of injury time. (Quoting Message by Becks from Saturday, May 29, 2010 8:11:11 PM)

Oh man that was awful, not because of how we played, we played pretty well, but the Aussies should have gotten at least 2 red cards for disgusting tackles. And winning on the last kick is just tin arse anyways LOL.

Hell yeah JJ! It was freakin fantastic! I watched the last 20 minutes and it was a nail biter, then Serbian fans started invading the pitch and throwing things on to the pitch, and their captain had to appeal to them over the PA system to be calm so the game could finish! A brilliant result for NZ, and like you said will surely give us a confidence boost going in to our next friendly match and the WC.

| NZ beat Serbia in a pre - World Cup friendly match. 1-0. This is probably the best result NZ have ever had in our footballing history. Serbia have a lot of players from some of the top European teams and cruised through their qualifying group. They are ranked 15 in the world, NZ are ranked 78. Huge confidence builder for our guys before the tournament starts. Edited at: Saturday, May 29, 2010 8:02:08 PM |
