Check out that ladder!

Crusaders 14 points clear of 5th spot!

Well really 14 and 1/2 points clear since they have a points difference of about 100 more than the next best team!

Take your time Carter

The Sevens in NZ is the third rung on the International ladder. Almost Sevens players work their butts off so they can get into a Super 14 side……that’s their carrot.

And in NZ I can’t remember EVER, that any Polynesian living in the Islands has EVER been selected in any provincial, or higher, NZ rugby team.

At the last official count in 2007, only two players of Polynesian decent were not born and raised in NZ in our AB side. Our NZ “B” team generally play against the Polynesians in Polynesia, and generally beat them by something around 50 points. A couple of years back the NZ “A” team put 90 points on the Fijian side,

Patrick.

NZ vs SA.
Men vs Boys.
Monsters vs Gnomes…
Orcs vs Hobbits…

Anymore parallels?

How wonderful was it to See Robert Ebherson come on against Russia? On the field for 4 minutes, and he scores two tries (granted they were easy) and makes one with a beautiful pass.

Hope the kid stays in the set up to continually hone his skills.

Thought SA played well but made too many basic errors like not kicking penalties into touch, and drifting too laterally.

agree with u dude!
just sick of people dissing us cause we didnt play the bigger nations.
we all know u have been ruling world rugby for long time. its been years since we have beaten u guys on ur own turf. I have the biggest respect for all black rugby and have always admired our great rivalry. hopefully the boks can keep that rivalry strong from now on not fade like 95…

Ok you think you would have beaten us in the finals,no one would know.It over now.I think you guys should concentrate on the rugby you play after the RWC to,you dont want to be classed like England were when they won the RWC and lost everything after,cos it hasnt started of good has it

By: Insomniac

Insomniac — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 23:07:34 +0000

I think even if u made the finals…we would have beaten u guys.
we were just mentally tuned to do so. mission accomplished after 4 years.

calm down man i was just having a bit of fun with whatever.
I know SA deserved the RWC win,they beat whoever was put in front of them,thats it.
Obviously you have a bit of a feeling towards to weak opponents SA had to face to win the RWC,maybe i should not bring it up again to make you happy
