    @ufo(ufo)-452: hahahahaha. Good one ufo.

    I am nervous too. I always am before a Bok game. Just when I read that I felt a awesome vibe. The Boys are ready. They gonna fight for their country for Bakkies and Peter.

    They in mean confident mood. That means Boks are gonna fight like they have never fought before.

    WE gonna win it but it will be close.

    Just hope Bryce blows fair. That is all I ask of the ref. Every ref seems to blow different at the breakdowns. So hope we are on top of the refs game.

    Okay just had to post that good vibe I read in the papers.

    Need to take a call. Back later.

    @Great White Shark(Predawn)-420:
    Not an easy Test to bet on
    The forwards are strong enough to beat the wallabies, they have no passangers among them now.
    But not having a 5th forward is a gamble: Brussow, Matfield and JC are all injury prone.
    The weather and the referee will account for a 70% effect of the result!
    Styen’s place kicking isn’t that effective in the windy, wet conditions, Cooper usually disappears in the heavy underfoot
    Aplon on the bench is a one up for the Aussies
    Boks by 8

    hhmm so all pacific islanders think the boks were favoured by owens because he is racist, interesting

    Kiwi lawmakers back Twitter fiend’s stance
    Sapa-AP | 07 October, 2011 12:40

    Two New Zealand politicians have come out in support of Samoa center Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu, who is provisionally banned from rugby for his outspoken comments against a referee and the International Rugby Board.

    Fuimaono-Sapolu wrote on Twitter that Welsh referee Nigel Owens was racist and biased after controlling Samoa’s tournament-ending 13-5 loss to South Africa last week, and slammed the IRB for giving second-tier teams less rest between matches than the top-ranked teams in the World Cup.

    Peter Dunne, the government’s Revenue Minister, backed Fuimaono-Sapolu on Newstalk ZB radio and doubted whether the IRB would have treated England midfielder Mike Tindall the same if he’d written the same things.

    Hone Harawira, the Mana Party leader, issued a press release saying the IRB were “mean-spirited old f_arts” for penalizing Fuimaono-Sapolu “for daring to say what every Pacific Island player is thinking.”

    Harawira said the IRB was using rugby “to make heaps of money, and pound anyone for daring to criticize them.”

    “England gets caught cheating and nothing happens to them, but a Samoan gets whacked $10,000 for wearing a mouthguard with the wrong words on it,” he said.

    “England players get on the booze and bring the RWC into disrepute and nothing happens to them, but a Samoan rugby player gets hauled before the IRB for daring to say what every Pacific Island player is thinking.

    “Rugby commentators criticize the referee for favoring South Africa and nothing happens to them, but a Samoan rugby player has to front the IRB for saying the same thing.”

    Fuimaono-Sapolu, a qualified lawyer, was provisionally suspended when he missed his first scheduled judicial hearing on a misconduct charge on Tuesday, then got his case adjourned on Wednesday to Oct. 15 to give him more time to prepare his defense.

    He was asked to refrain from commenting on social media again between now and his hearing.

    Another issue Fuimaono-Sapolu raised involved allegations the IRB was be discriminatory for not honoring the second anniversary of the deadly Samoa tsunami, which fell on the same day as the Samoa-South Africa game.

    He tweeted: “Minute of silence for USA for 9/11. Nothing for Samoa for Tsunami. Both games played on anniversary days. Our dead not good enough?”

    When another user suggested 9/11 was a better known tragedy, Fuimaono-Sapolu responded: “That’s exactly what I’m talking about! that is ’racist’ against Samoans because we ALL know about it!”

    The IRB and Samoa Rugby Union had agreed to mark the anniversary by allowing the players to wear armbands, and a pre-match announcement on the public address system.

    Asked on Twitter why he hasn’t received support from the SRU, Fuimaono-Sapolu wrote: “because $$ They want it. They dont want to work hard to make SRU independent of handouts, a real business enterprise

    @ufo(ufo)-425:

    I dismissed his comments because I find it very hard to believe that he spoke to 10 Maori randomly and they all said they hate “white” New Zealanders because of a treaty signed 170 years ago by the British, perhaps they should concern themselves with 2011 not what happened in 1840.

    @Bill Reyts(Gumboots)-472: To be honest, I predict Australia to win.

    It’s roughly 50-50 call (Boks fwds vs Aus backs and Heinrich vs David), so I guess in their favour works being closer to home – despite Bryce Lawrence caning them for scrum shenannigans.

    But I may be easily proven wrong, as many times before.

    I think Keo is correct when he says the Aussies have a better team at the moment. I think their forwards will match ours for the most part while their defence is about as good as ours. It is in their backline offence that they have a huge advantage and it should see them through. The two factors that Keo is ignoring I believe that could see the boks upset this scenario are: Cooper while he can be brilliant is also very Carlos Spencer like and if you can get to him and unsettle him he can become a huge liability for the Aussies. Secondly I believe the boks have more heart than this Aussie team. We for the most part were getting beaten up to the same extent by Wales as the Aussies were by Ireland. We somehow still won and the Aussies did not and I think that speaks volumes of this bok teams guts.

    Not sure what was more disturbing; the obvious relish with which he told the story, or the fact that it didn’t seem to occur to him that a gang beating someone to a bloody pulp for giving them lip might just be a slightly psychopathic overreaction….

    @Airwell(Airwell)-487: and the Romans claimed Britain from the Britons, then when the Huns stormed Rome and the Romans left, the Saxons came across the Channel and helped themselves to the land. Then the Danes helped themselves to a few Saxon kingdoms before the Saxons reclaimed the land from the Danes and proclaimed a united England for the first time, only for the Normans to arrive a hundred years later and defeat the Saxons, and help themselves to all of England (and later Wales).

    This is simply what happened back then, but no longer. And your point?

    @Atreides(Atreides)-490: Moari’s that I met prefer South Africans to European New Zealanders as they had got to know them from their kids going to the same schools. One I spoke to said most of the South Africans working in their town were cops and us South Africans are good people. I must say did not experience any agro in New Zealand except from one chop at the Wales game.

    @Airwell(Airwell)-492: I am in New York and have to watch the rugby at an Australian pub. There are people watching from all the participating countries at the pub. I have found the New Zealanders to be the nicest and the Aussies for the most part to be the worst. Surprisingly the English are a pretty jovial lot as well.
