  General question: does anyone know where you can get DVD’s of old games? I’m looking for complete games, not just highlights or something. If not DVDs to buy, is there anywhere these can be downloaded? By old I don’t mean ancient or anything, just over the past 20 odd years or so

  i know in the old days there was a shop in auckland park (sabc hq – for our overseas bloggers)… and they had ‘videos’ of the old games and tours…

  Imagine it. The year is 2051
  Uganda hosts the 17th world cup. Opening game in the Lee Chang Mandarin Heroes stadium.
  Minnows Australia and one of their newly acquired colonies, New Zealand put up a brave display of running rugby on Friday night. New Zealand winger, Klasie van Staden scored a hat trick before Thinus Steyn (son of former springbok Francois) slotted 4 drop goals from behind his own goal line for the Australians. The third umpire had to be called in to judge one of the kicks as it appeared he’d made irregular use of his laser guided iris implant.
  Both teams made full use of the recently unbanned substance Anabolica Fiximus, taken anally during the half time break. It lifted the spiirts of both sets of forwards and their increased aggression resulted in 4 players being airlifted to the nearby US airbase for cathartic valiscous treatment and then resussitation.
  The final score was 12 – 9 as per the recently introduced scoring system which counts the number of players who can touch both their ears at the same time without assistance.
  After their victory over the kiwis, Aus now have improved odds of meeting South Eastern Midlands Samoa in the final of the prized John Smit Cup (renamed since his heroic efforts in winning the cup way back in 2011)

  @poppa69(poppa69)-159: Heheh I hear you. Yeah I think essentially the forwards are the wallies main problem. SA vs NZ is very fairly weighted up front, but you guys have the wood on us with the backs. I could see the reaction of the Kiwi crowd at the French match and the peeps really look like they could do with that win. They were cheering their heads off everytime the All Blacks scored. We all do for our own teams but sometimes you can see it just means a bit more so it obviously meant a lot for them to get one over the French after last time.
  Either way unfortunately it wont be an SA vs NZ final. We have to first get through the Wallabies and then through you lot. Going to be one huge ask for the Saffa team but the way theyre playing currently is heartening. Must say those Tournament stats Helen was rattling off made SA look pretty impressive. Nice to see our lot actually scoring tries and looking cohesive for a change. We´ve suffered miserably over the last year man.

  The old foe. Greatest nod for ultimate respect.
  Hope the personal issues are getting sorted for you.

  the guy told me multiple times that he has the games on vhs, since the ’90s!!!!!!

  he told US he has written a “comprehensive dossier” on how kak PdV is.

  he says:

  - Bismarck is overrated, and has only made four ball steals in three years.
  - says de jongh got “torn apart” by the all blacks at soccer city
  - says kankowski has had only one decent game for Boks against Italy or something

  World Cup Pool R, opening game
  Old rivals South Africa and the Independent People’s Republic of Western Cape locked horns in an epic encounter. The free flowing rugga was spoilt by the ongoing race relations of Africa, with both teams calling other keos.
  South African captain, John Smit silenced his critics and even two spectators with one barn storming run after another. Japie Zille, the captain of IPRWC team badgered the ref about Smit’s illegal use of his zimmer frame during these runs.
  Both teams struggled in the lineouts, but Geoff Longshlong eventually achieved dominance in this facet of play with his 3.03m frame towering over the opposition. Geoff also reached the milestone of the first artificially designed human to reach 10 caps in a IPRWC jersey.
  Japie Zille, in his concession speech after the game, thanked Buddah for the opportunity to play.

  The All Blacks would consider pulling out of the 2015 Rugby World Cup unless commercial restrictions imposed on teams were revamped, New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) chief Steve Tew said today.

  Tew said such a drastic and unprecedented step would be “the very last port of call” but could not be ruled out, as current arrangements meant his organisation posted a loss every time the quadrennial tournament was held.

  “That’s obviously a last resort and our style is to be consultative, collaborative and to try to work with everybody to find a solution,” Tew told Radio New Zealand when asked if the All Blacks could boycott the 2015 World Cup in England.

  Tew said International Rugby Board (IRB) rules penalised major unions in World Cup years because their regular Test schedules were curtailed and teams were not allowed to promote their sponsors during the tournament.
  He said this meant that competing at the 2011 World Cup was costing the NZRU more than NZ$13 million ($10.3 million).

  “It’s putting pressure on the balance sheet and frankly, in the current environment, we just can’t afford to run a World Cup-year loss, nor do we think it’s necessary.” he said.

  Earlier, Tew told Britain’s Guardian newspaper: “The prospects of us going to England in 2015 under the current model are very slim. We cannot continue to sign on for an event that costs us so much money.”

  He told Radio NZ that the NZRU had been pushing the IRB for changes to the commercial arrangements for eight years and had gone public to try to ensure the issue was finalised by 2015.

  “Now is not a bad time to make sure the issue is raised and considered, to give ourselves enough time to find a solution without having to go to any drastic measures,” he said.

  “We have the support of most of the major unions and a review is not only necessary but now, in our view, quite urgent.”

  Tew said the bulk of the NZRU’s NZ$13 million shortfall came from television revenues and gate receipts lost because the annual Tri-Nations competition was shortened in World Cup years so it did not clash with the tournament.
  He said other major unions faced similar problems, estimating their combined losses at 35-40 million pounds ($55-63 million).

  Tew said solutions the IRB could consider were changing the World Cup date, to allow a full Tri-Nations schedule, or paying more money to participating unions.

  He also said the IRB’s World Cup sponsorship rules, designed to avoid any clash between team sponsors and the IRB’s own corporate supporters, should be relaxed.

  “In football, the FIFA model, there is room for both sets of sponsors to get some coverage during the World Cup period and we think that’s something we should be looking at very seriously,” he said.

  A Rugby World Cup Ltd. spokesman said the commercial model that applied to the tournament was being reviewed .

  “We are committed to working in collaboration with our unions to ensure that the tournament continues to balance the strategic needs of our unions with the ability to provide the financial platform for the development of (the) sport,” he said.

  @Helen(Helen)-529: You’re only half right. The IPRWC will wipe the floor with the rest of SA as we know that all the best players are born here in the Cape. And the 3.03m player is Dries Bekker Jr, son of legendary Springbok Andries, the first springbok to play over 200 tests.

  All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu said players would be devastated if they were unable to compete at the next World Cup.

  Mealamu is certainly hoping the boycott does not happen.

  “It would be devastating for our country and for rugby players,” said the veteran hooker.

  “All we can control is what we do on the field and try and leave it up them to try and make that happen.”

  “It would be devastating for us as rugby players to know we wouldn’t be able to make it to the next World Cup.”

  you gotta love how some of these kiwi websites are spinning this one

  Tew has said that if the IRB doesn’t rethink the way they distribute money out of the World Cup’s massive profit pool, then New Zealand could well pull out of the next tournament in England. Yes, England.

  So Tew has delivered a hammer blow to the next hosts by threatening to withdraw the game’s iconic team. A World Cup without the All Blacks would be, well, like a milkshake without milk.

  2057. Super83 Final
  Floyd Shivambu Stadium, Harrismith
  Queensland Reds vs North Eastern Natal Midlands Mongooses

  The Reds showed no signs of jet lag after their late morning flight of 34 minutes from Brisbane Intergallactic and played with their usual aggression. Even when the Mongooses ran onto the field, they maintained the aggression, but still only toward each other and some of the spectators.
  Mongoose Captain, honourable chief Sithole (IV), was seen handing the touch judge a R300,000 note, but the ref thought a penalty was sufficient punishment for the infringement. Minutes later, the same touch judge tripped a Reds player moments before he crossed the try Mongoose try line.
  In his post match interview, Reds coach, Quade Cooper accepted the defeat, but said the travelling distance and rife corruption in SA are to blame for their lack lustre performance. He could be seen pic-pocketing the cameraman’s laptop during the interview. A citing commission is looking into the matter
