Wallabies edge sterile sideshow
21 Oct 2011
RYAN VREDE watched Australia stutter to an uninspiring 21-18 victory over Wales in the World Cup bronze medal match at Eden Park.
Naturally this contest lacked the intensity and compelling appeal of a match where the result was meaningful. Consequently it descended into a structureless, error-strewn and utterly unpalatable sideshow to Sunday’s final.
It would have been more bearable if either side had earned the right to play expansively by showing some appreciation for building a platform. Instead the strike runners in either pack were rarely deployed often enough to achieve this, with the showmen in the back division asked to enthral and entertain the 60 000 poor souls who paid to be punished.
Handling errors abound and Australia’s lethargy in sending cleaners into rucks often resulted in turnovers in the Welsh 22m. Their troubles were compounded and cause undermined when key play makers Kurtley Beale and Quade Cooper were injured before 25 minutes had elapsed. The latter, did, however, craft a try for Berrick Barnes with a deft offload, before his exit.
Australia looked a better side than the impotent Welsh, whose struggles were rooted in their inability to impose themselves at the gainline. They also missed suspended captain Sam Warburton’s ability to stifle the opposition’s attacking flow through his breakdown work. Indeed Warren Gatland’s side played with the verve, accuracy and innovation that suggested they’d had spent their week working their way through Auckland’s pubs and nightclubs.
Wales missed three goalkicks but still trailed by just four points (7-3) with with 30 minutes to play, before scoring courtesy of a clear forward pass. On the evidence of that incorrect decision, it appeared referee Wayne Barnes and his assistant had been lulled into a slumber themselves.
James O’Connor kicked two penalties to regain the lead for the Wallabies before Barnes took the Wallabies eight points ahead with a drop goal. Stephen Jones set up a tense final 10 minutes with a three pointer.
Adam Ashley-Cooper should have sealed the result with six minutes to play, but he grassed the ball in a tackle a metre for the goal line. Ben McCalman, however, made no mistake shortly thereafter. Wales would score after the siren had sounded, but were undeserving of victory.
The Wallabies thus finish in third place, which is much like almost bagging the hottest girl at the party, then having to settle for her ugly friend.

Let rugby win, even if it is a draw.
Difficult to know where the mental attitude is for either team, but I suspect it is better for Wales than it is for Australia.
Just give us a rip-roaring game then.

21 Oct 2011, 09:26 am
Going for the Southern Hemisphere and Robbie Deans here.
So much whinning by the Welsh you would think that the referee dumped that player on his head.
21 Oct 2011, 09:28 am
What the fark is the point of supporting this “Southern Hemsiphere” amorphous bulldust designation…?

go wales!!!!!!!!
21 Oct 2011, 09:30 am
Wonder which 10 is more of a flake: Hook or Cooper… Difficult choice.
21 Oct 2011, 09:31 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-5: lmao @ “ExtraThuvi” you know you’re wrong!
21 Oct 2011, 09:33 am
2 forward passes in the opening minutes that looked worse than JdV’s pass…not blown
21 Oct 2011, 09:33 am
Expect the normal beautiful flow of the Aussie game. Wide ,wid e, wide.
But that is too the normal game of old from those distinctive Welshmen of
Morgan, John, Bennett , JPR, JJ and MANY MORE.
21 Oct 2011, 09:34 am
Can someone please xplain how Berrick Barnes is considered an attacking player , when he just kicks the ball away . Much like Morne steyn is considered and attacking flyhalf i take it …
21 Oct 2011, 09:35 am
Why are they still giving Cooper a hard time?
21 Oct 2011, 09:36 am

Anybody with a link of site where I can check out the game pease?
Maybe one with low quality, i’m stuck with a drag of a connection.
21 Oct 2011, 09:39 am
@ET.(ET.)-15:
Because of his behaviour in the Tri-Nations. Cheap shots on Richie.
21 Oct 2011, 09:42 am
Beale leaves the pitch. Shane Williams knocked down.
21 Oct 2011, 09:43 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-16: how can i be “neo-racist” when i was NEVER racist at any point before?
21 Oct 2011, 09:43 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-12: But that is Wayne Barnes’ forte
21 Oct 2011, 09:43 am
Pocock looked to have pushed his player into him.
Try, nice
21 Oct 2011, 09:44 am
@chch(chch)-19: y’all are so precious about this “richie” of yours, it’s not tiddlywinks

21 Oct 2011, 09:47 am
@DocNZ(DocNZ)-14: Theres your answer
21 Oct 2011, 09:47 am
That went forward over the try line … has to be a knock on
21 Oct 2011, 09:47 am
The minute the Wallabies play a game with less pressure QC actually plays..
He’s obviously just **** scared of the Big kiwis and Safas..
21 Oct 2011, 09:48 am
@chch(chch)-19:
But Churchy that is the TNs and it is long gone. And this is the RWC and it too is almost GONE.
Forgive and move on or is exquisite Cooper such a threat to his fellow KIWIS?
21 Oct 2011, 09:48 am
Pity Sam Warburton is not playing for Wales.
21 Oct 2011, 09:49 am
How about arch-racist?
That’s the latest one.

@Transformation(Transformation)-24:
Look here d head. Someone asked why the crowd was on his case and I stated why. If you can’t work out that I am not in the crowd then shut the fork up because you are a complete moron!
21 Oct 2011, 09:49 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-25:
Agree. They don’t have the same depth as the top 3 SH teams or England/Fra.. Not after a few injuries and suspensions. They missing Sam Warburton and a few fresh legs which Auz are making good use of.
21 Oct 2011, 09:50 am
Aus scrum gets fckedup, as usual.
NH refs will give them no sympathy like they get from Kiwi refs.
21 Oct 2011, 09:50 am
@ET.(ET.)-29:
Again why is this comment directed at me ….. I was just providing the explanation.
21 Oct 2011, 09:52 am
@Guns(Guns)-33: Its mainly Warburton they are missing, but he is as important to them as Pocock is to Aus.

@Transfornication(Transfornication)-21:
That is a distortion of something from the ET playbook that you so often steal from these days, Copycat.
The point made then was that the ANC did not bring RACISM to AFRICA but the evil pinkish Euros.
Learn your line better than that before you commit yourself to ‘ETisms’.
21 Oct 2011, 09:54 am
Cooper! Bwahahahahahahahahaha
21 Oct 2011, 09:54 am
How’s these Kiwicnts in the crowd booing with glee at Cooper going down…
Good sportsmanship from Wales – Doctor Roberts refusing to smash him and calling the medics. Good to see.
21 Oct 2011, 09:54 am
Too much Rugga this year for QC not surprised with this injury.
21 Oct 2011, 09:54 am
Did QC just injure himself by side stepping?
21 Oct 2011, 09:55 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-38:
Just bored explaining the obvious.
*hardenthefcukup*
21 Oct 2011, 09:55 am
Booing Kiwis are making a nice disgrace of themselves…
21 Oct 2011, 09:56 am
I said this before and will say it again, the wallabies are running out of steam and the conditioning of players aren’t good enough
21 Oct 2011, 09:56 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-41:
That is pretty shitt.
By the way … how do you know they are Kiwis ?
21 Oct 2011, 09:57 am
Chch, I think because they playing in NZ
21 Oct 2011, 09:58 am
@chch(chch)-47: Because the commentator said so.
And I know so, because I know the nature of Kiwis – Not the most sporting of people, quite vindictive
21 Oct 2011, 09:58 am
@ET.(ExtraThuvi.)-39: you didn’t invent the English language so nje, pipe down. same as with the struggle.
21 Oct 2011, 10:00 am
@chch(chch)-35:
Just giving perspective, nothing serious. We all saw the S15 and the TNs and the niggles.
Do ALL now who have so immaturely booed him feel happy that he may now be out of rugby for six months or more?
I would like to believe they feel a bit silly and vindictive now.
Just to set you at ease I still say (since 2008 already) the ABs will win the big one and I will be extremely happy for that will give me 7 for 7 in these RWC KOs.
21 Oct 2011, 10:01 am

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-49:
It is bad with the booing. It is much worse in Australia though (an observation from having been in many games in both countries and not from some twisted prejudice or because my team just got kicked out of the World Cup).
There were many many company tickets purchased for this game so I am hoping that most are not true rugby fans or rugby fans at all.

It does not look good.

gawd I hope all Saffas arent like HG..
what an example of SA he is, hasnt stopped crying and needs to belittle others to feel important himself..
please convince me he isnt the epitome of SA males…. please..
21 Oct 2011, 10:05 am
@chch(chch)-53: apparently (if Tony Johnson is to be believed) your kiwi media has been driving this “hate quade cooper campaign” and he actually said on Reunion that he is sick of it. i guess every country has D!ckheads, some more than others
21 Oct 2011, 10:06 am
must say, the way the Bokke didnt travel to NZ during the 3Ns really worked out didnt it..
still laughing at that one actually…do you think they were well rested in time for the WC?
21 Oct 2011, 10:06 am
Australians dont roll away… Penalty… Amazing how Bryce’s criminal non reffing has been shown up by every game since, and every ref. Even Wayne Barnes looks magnificent in comparison.
21 Oct 2011, 10:07 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-57:
No, just surprised you singled out NZ for booing when it is 3 to 4 times worse in Australia. Makes you cringe standing in the crowd there. Especially with a Sydney crowd of which half don’t even know the rules.
21 Oct 2011, 10:07 am

@Transfornication-50:
True to your state of lacking simple understanding of the language, the point I made is about stealing ideas and distorting it out of sheer personal stupidity in thhe process. That is plagiarism, even if unknowingly distorted.
If originality is NOT your forte then I guess I cannot ask the moron to be original, can I now?
21 Oct 2011, 10:10 am
@chch(chch)-62: Have you been to Loftus ? Disgraceful attitude to both players and opposition fans – not a place to go with your family

21 Oct 2011, 10:11 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-59:
Really the White Noise (All Whites) and Yellow Fever (Wellington Phoenix) put rugby crowds to shame and they are tiny by comparison.
Having some radio DJ hired to try to rev up NZ crowds has always been an annoying embarrassment. Like fingers down a blackboard.
End up like American sport/TV when people are prompted to cheer.

Really? I thought that South Africa was good (have been told so anyway).
@ET.(ET.)-66:
It is going to be good no matter how it goes.
Incidentally the NZRU and WC organisers are celebrating reaching the 87% crowd target. I consider it a failure that they are directly responsible for. Damn they have done some stupid stuff.

No point spitting at your screen either, I am not there… it wont affect me.
21 Oct 2011, 10:21 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-73:
Check out the World Cup Rugby League final. Australian fans went about abusing anyone there not Australia. Families and all. Throwing all sorts of objects.
That has only happened in NZ at that rugby league double header they had in Auckland.
That stuff is very isolated in Rugby here. I saw rugby violence in Australia but in fairness it was mostly non-rugby fans going to games (Australians will watch anything they are winning in).
21 Oct 2011, 10:22 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-83: youre the only one spitting at the screen mate, seems you stutter quite often on the word bryce… but you are improving, its been 4 whole posts since youve mentioned him..
big ups for that..
21 Oct 2011, 10:22 am
@chch(chch)-78: As a Sader supporter , and a proud kiwi , we went to watch the Bulls v Saders at Loftus with my wife and daughter ( both Lions supporters) – we were made to feel so unwelcome , and my wife nearly got into a fight with a Bulls supporter due to the language being thrown around …. Needless to say we will never go to Loftus again , and it was a bad reflection on a sport where all are welcome and fans of all sides mingle and make good freinds

Many of the ‘pinkos’ are like him but he, as the chief maggot, is closest to the centre of the cow-dung pat where it is most moist, warm and the stinkest. He thrives on those factors plus the faecal nourishment that normals regard as sheer waste matter.
If he is not there he is somewhere in the centre of the wettest dog pile equivalent.
He has been extremely at his sickest ,as you have noted , since the quarter finals’ results. His glorious irrelevance has ensured that deathly, grey state of his being.

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-90: I am sure it is happening everywhere now – it really bad for the game i am sure you agree – i personally dont want rugby to become like soccer where fans are caged and yob mentality is encouraged

Allow me to educate you about the world of mountain biking.
XC (spit) heart rate monitor, full fitness, do gooders are the only breed in the game that idolise their budgie huggers and cannot wait to pull them over their shaven legs and then steam of some mountain at a rate of knots and then come down the easy route
Conversely, us trail/freeride/DH genuine mountain bikers that rather love going as slowly as possible up a mountain and then hammer down via the hairiest descents do not care for budgiehuggers and rather prefer the ol Baggies form of riding shorts
Do not ever liken me to a XC mountain biker again….. capiche?

@chch(chch)-98: Now Bloem is another story – we were there for JW first game against the Irish – irish , bok supporters all had a great time – the bar even delivered shooters to us in the stands !!!! We all were made very welcome.

Really like Millwall supporters?
I got chased by some Pompey supporters once. Turned out really funny as the train station was so crowded it ended up a 2 kmph chase.
I have shared many trains out of London Bridge with Millwall supporters. The idea is to hide your Crystal Palace short under your big coat till the forkers get off the train.
21 Oct 2011, 10:34 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-105: so, you like to toss maori’s do you? thought you were quite the dirt track rider, thanks for confirmation though..
Id guess you dont spit after all, more a swallow type of guy?

hehe, was on a mountain biking trip last weekend. They have a van that goes to the top of one of the hills …. we didn’t take it
21 Oct 2011, 10:36 am
Heard some saffa boys singing on the bus in Auckland after the Wales France Semi and a Welshman thought he would be clever and say:
“4 more years…”
so without hesitation the group of saffa’s started singing:
“1 time, in a 100 years!” to the tune of Go West … was brilliant.

@Gunther(gunther)-102:
I still cringe when I reflect on his commentating of the 2009 British Lions series.
For some strange reason, he was adamant that that motley crew were the best side to ever put on a rugby jersey… ever…. and Mike Phillips was the greatest player to ever put on a rugby jersey… ever
Strange one… I could never work it out

21 Oct 2011, 10:40 am
Who scored?
21 Oct 2011, 10:40 am
mpundulu – Shocking reffing by the way, pass was way forward!!
21 Oct 2011, 10:41 am
So forward passes are okay, but Bryce wont allow normal passes to Lambie with an open tryline… Typical Kiwi.
21 Oct 2011, 10:41 am
@chch(chch)-113:
No… not you chch…. please!
21 Oct 2011, 10:42 am
Remake of AB vs France 2007, Wayne barnes loves forward passes!!!
21 Oct 2011, 10:42 am
Aussies will be trying for non contested scrums next… You watch.
21 Oct 2011, 10:42 am
Heavens Game – It is sad to see the Boks were treated unfairly , no way was JDVs pass that flippin forward. Terrible reffing this RWC
21 Oct 2011, 10:42 am
@Transfornication-75:
Foolish, stupid ‘Xhego’, still misses the HG point even, and by much.
He was trying to get at me through being so far up yours and you up his. I s that why you are so mentally foggy so late in your morning. Should you not be mourning your lack of decency rather?

21 Oct 2011, 10:44 am
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-127: It was marginal if anything… I actually thought Fred Michalak’s pass was sound. But Bryce makes Barnes look brilliant.

21 Oct 2011, 10:48 am
Kicking the difference this tournament for many teams.
Wales should have had Jones on earlier and they’d still be leading.
Now? Too late I fear.

whether it went forward or not is inconsequential , it was NOT passed forward, momentum made it look forward.
the kiwi’s had tv show after tv show about in the week before the QF’s

I;m sorry! Wales are clueless. Nee wat and Stephen Jones is plain rubbish.

21 Oct 2011, 10:59 am
Berrick Barnes has been playing well the last 2 games!!!
21 Oct 2011, 10:59 am

Nope, Bryce was not incompetent… he was bent

21 Oct 2011, 11:05 am
11-16 with 10 minutes to go! Cmon Australia!!
21 Oct 2011, 11:05 am
Brilliant defence by Wales
21 Oct 2011, 11:06 am
wow, they could have scored that try 19 different ways.
21 Oct 2011, 11:07 am
Heard some saffa boys singing on the bus in Auckland after the Wales France Semi and a Welshman thought he would be clever and say:
“4 more years…”
so without hesitation the group of saffa’s started singing:
“1 time, in a 100 years!” to the tune of Go West … was brilliant.
21 Oct 2011, 11:08 am
Heavans Game – I reckon lots of young welsh players in the British & Irish Lions, in 4 years time Wales will be even stronger!! Best NH team at the RWC!!
21 Oct 2011, 11:08 am

21 Oct 2011, 11:13 am
Wales are as flat as a Zola Budd tyre. It may have been a mistake by Alain Buck Rolland to ensure France went through because the Welsh would have been embarrassing against the ABs…. The French could be another story altogether.
21 Oct 2011, 11:14 am
@ET.(ET.)-171: Nope… No greys for me.
21 Oct 2011, 11:15 am

the ticker tape parade is for Bryce and Bryce only..
he did such an eloquent job of “getting the jarpies” that he will never have to buy another beer in NZ for the rest of his life..
so I’ll raise my glass and say well done bryce, you farked them up good and proper, just how it should be…

But agree, Williams’s foot was in touch, earlier they clearly knocked behind a ruck but the ref just let it go, like the rules weren’t really that important in this match.

21 Oct 2011, 11:36 am
You Yarpies really must get over Bryce Lawrence. You were ranked 3rd going into cup – was that because all refs faced by you are crooked? Doubt it.
We know Springbok and All Blacks are only teams that count long run. You will be back. But please stop whining, you still should have won despite Bryces incompetence.

French talking BIG
‘Weaknesses’ in All Blacks?
Friday, 21 October 2011 8.06 p.m.
France defence coach David Ellis either talks a big game or is capable of walking his troops through one, claiming there are ‘more weaknesses’ in the systems of the All Blacks than of Wales and Australia.
New Zealand’s line has not been breached in the knockout stages, yet Ellis is seemingly an expert as to how to change that.
“The All Blacks have different defensive systems and there are more weaknesses than we found in the Welsh system and also in the Australian system,” he said.
“We feel there are certain areas of their defence we can exploit.”
Given the French failed to score against a 14-man Wales side in their 9-8 semi-final victory, they would have to hope that was the case.
But Ellis continued to talk tough, saying he was surprised Australia didn’t pick more holes in the All Blacks wall in last week’s bid for the final.
That was not down to their skill, according to the Englishman, but rather the Wallabies’ inability to find the chinks that the French ‘master of defence’ – possibly self-appointed – has been since able to.
“I watched the game and I was expecting Australia to score and turn the game around,” Ellis said.
“I think a lot of the choices they made on their attack were in the wrong areas of the field and they didn’t disturb the All Black defence in a manner they should have done.
“I think the first 20 minutes was very physical and the All Blacks came through that unscathed and I was waiting for the moment where they would break the defence.
“They did not do it, mainly because of their poor choices.”
And he continued on his merry way, predicting there would be mental demons to overcome for an All Blacks side that has lost twice – in 1999 and 2007 – in crunch matches.
“There are occasions in majors sporting events, particularly when teams are involved, there is always something in the back of their mind: Deja Vu.
“We are keen to see what will happen to certain players on the All Blacks if we do manage to keep them under continued pressure.
“What are the signs we can look for like in 2007 and 2009? What are the signs that will start opening doors for us in the mental battle?
He wasn’t done yet. The absence of first five-eighth Dan Carter ‘makes it easier’, while when it came to captain Richie McCaw someone would ‘stand on his foot no doubt’.
“He is the best No. 10 in the world and he can just see things and take it upon himself to create it,” Ellis said of Carter.
“When he left the field in 2007, that was one of the major factors, that we managed to make him leave the field with injury.
“It was a major turning point in the psychological part of the game. He was not there in 2009 (when beating New Zealand in Dunedin) and neither was McCaw.
“Richie McCaw is another major player as well. In 2007, he struggled to stay on the field because of injury.”
“There are other key players if we can get to and influence, that will be a factor.”
21 Oct 2011, 11:45 am
So in the end analysis Wales lost to South Africa, France and Australia in this RWC.
They beat Ireland, Samoa, Fiji and Namibia.
Sure, they played with some “style” but they never beat a team ranked higher than them. Big deal.
I’m glad the final is featuring France instead of Wales. A NZ v Wales final would have been a whitewash, whilst the French have an unpredictability about them and a track record of upsetting NZ in RWCs. I still reckon the good money is on an easy NZ win.
Allez les Bleus! All of South Africa is behind you!
However, I’m more interested in watching the Currie Cup semi finals now that the tournament has reverted to strength vs strength
21 Oct 2011, 11:47 am
@chch(chch)-204:
What do mean mean he didn’t turn up with the best team?
That can’t be an excuse, Ireland had a lower ranked team yet they beat you, in light of that did Deans still do well?
Imagine all coaches could use that excuse if they don’t succeed – ‘I didn’t have the best team’
21 Oct 2011, 11:47 am
Why does Stuart Barnes keep going on about Robbie Deans and Canterbury?
That was 11 years ago and he only coaches Canterbury for 4 seasons.
What about the Crusaders?
Stuart Barnes know’s fork all about Southern Hemisphere rugby.

@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-210:
Ireland have never ever ever ever ever in the history of the entire universe beaten the All Blacks !!!!!!
End of. We didn’t even play Ireland in the World Cup. Get your facts right.
21 Oct 2011, 11:51 am
@chch(chch)-206:
That still doesn’t count as a real reward as you’ still end up in a Pool with France. Wales, England etc so not much difference.
In fact you may get a bonus of avoiding a bogey team like England by playing them in the Pools and not suffer a loss in a quarter final, much like NZ had France in their Pool this year.
21 Oct 2011, 11:52 am

If yes, then I certainly didn’t know about the danger they posed.
Australia, as a real contender like SA, Wales, England ultimately failed in their quest to become champions, there’s no comfort in being second or third best.
21 Oct 2011, 11:55 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-213:
It is next to impossible to end up in a pool with France, Wales and England (a bit silly). But if you do badly you could end up in a group with one of the 4 top sides if you don’t stay in the top 4.

21 Oct 2011, 11:57 am
French are laughing at the way the Kiwi papers are now highlighting French brutality…
A translation… excuse the poor standard:
First there was the ” French farce to 460 dollars ” to characterize the composition of the XV for the tricolor group match against Blacks in late September. Then the “betrayal of the legacy of French rugby as a whole” following the match against Wales (9-8) for the Blues similar to “turkey inconsistent” with no “no chance” of winning the final on Sunday. This Friday, the campaign of denigration of the XV of France, still active in many newspapers and television programs, continued on the other side of the planet. This time, the New Zealand Herald, the country’s largest newspaper, has compiled “a history of French brutality” in the international match. No less.
On the cover of his book “World”, the paper points out some of the brutalities committed by the French players between 1968 and 1999, pointing, among other things, the alleged activities by ancient pillars Pascal Ondarts and Franck Tournaire, respectively accused of assault the third line of Wayne Shelford All Blacks during the test of Nantes in 1986 (winning the Blues 16-3) and “forks” in the 1999 semi-final won (43-31) by the French. “Beware of conduct the French ” wrote Shelford, who was the victim of abuse (scrotum open) in that game at La Beaujoire precisely. On inside pages, the former English hooker Brian Moore as his his weekly column: “The whole world of rugby is behind the All Blacks” , while the lance journalist Peter Bills: “The All Blacks should win and win well on behalf of the interests of rugby “.
Faced with these attacks, William Servat has handled the irony. “I’m not sure whether you are in such bad boys that, I’m not sure this team, there is the great barbarians as they can said. Among the English who make up the maids in their hotel rooms, the New Zealanders who leave the day before the matches, I’m not sure that one is the most bad boys ” , slid hooker. Same story with Nicolas Mas, included in a ‘starting XV for bad boys “prepared by the New Zealand Herald on Thursday. ” There is always aggressive in a game. The Blacks are not angels. Sunday in the final you will see just men who compete and there will be no single team that will aggression. We are not more violent than the All Blacks. “

@Transfornication-183:
True to form you reflect ignorance of a simple English word as your ‘gatgabba’ Gunt(replace G with ‘C’) owns the title for VULGARITY(indecency is mild for him) handsdown.
Worse still cerebral deficiency is manifested as clearly you confuse my daily truth as being indecent especially when you cannot refute fact with counter fact. That is the life oof the LIAR you have been reduced to.
A case in point, the potential EPCU president is referred to and not a shred of evidence is in the article or more which ties him down to Sacos. And just to clinch your lack of fact, your twisted ethnic logic, your smokescreen agenda and your lack of “decency” , you totally ignore to name his overall boss, Majola, from Sacos(peripheral, just for the then fruits) and from the same city, who has fraudulently stolen millions, as a prime example.
That is quite normal and expected behaviour for someone who is so empty and superficial and twisted and selfish and devoid of “decency” that it does not shock anyone anymore among those who are informed, impimpi.

I didn’t say you’d end up with France, Wales & England in one group, I said you’d still end up with them in a Pool whether you end 3rd of 8th in the tournament.
There’s no reward no matter where you end, you’re still gonna get tough teams in your pool.
When I said Ireland beat you, I was referring to the point or rather excuse you made about Deans that he didn’t have the best team available.
I should’ve made that clear that I didn’t mean NZ, but you knew that in any event.
My point stands, Deans did okay but failed. And there’s no advantage ending 2nd or 3rd as you’re still gonna be in a tough pool.

for someone who purports to know what is going on “on the ground” you seem quite clueless, call your “people” in the EC on your free googleskype and ask them if moodaley has no connection with SACOS.
ahem, i see CSA has REJECTED moodaley’s nomination for president of EP Cricket, as he “does not meet the required criteria” for nomination & election, so sorry pal, no free tickets, food and drink for you

@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-236:
“there’s no advantage ending 2nd or 3rd as you’re still gonna be in a tough pool.”
That statement is 100% incorrect. WC games get higher weightings for rankings and if you can stay in the top 4 in the IRB rankings then you avoid having a top 4 team in your group.
21 Oct 2011, 12:20 pm

21 Oct 2011, 12:22 pm
@chch(chch)-239:
But is there really an advantage in it?
France were ranked higher than NZ after the last Cup, so was there an advantage for them in ending in a group with the AB’s in 2011?
Australia were ranked higher than Ireland at the end of 07 Cup, but still got tipped over by them during this tournament so was there an advantage for the Aussies in facing them?
21 Oct 2011, 12:24 pm
Hehehe…
The French have these Kiwis taped (From Midi Olympique):
New Zealanders are so customary that they manage to win very badly at high pressure matches. And that of Sunday will be the most intense of the twenty-four years … The problem is that, because of their outrageous domination of the rugby world for a hundred years, any defeat in World Cup turns into a national disaster.
Popular opinion does not understand here that this team can be beaten. And the fact of playing the final in New Zealand increases the pressure. In 2005, the designation of the archipelago as the host country was analyzed as a gift by the IRB, as Japan was then the major favorite. So, the All Blacks have even less room for error this time. Home, in front of the French who declare themselves “worse,” Graham Henry’s men must win. Or live the worst humiliation since the first game ever played on their soil, in Nelson in 1870 in front of 200 spectators
21 Oct 2011, 12:26 pm
@chch(chch)-241:
Yes, but these top teams more or less stay the same over the years.
Unless the sleeping gians of Romania can emerge as a serious threat next time, then it becomes tricky in which group you end.
But at the moment the top 2 teams in each pool know each other well most of the time and it depends on who the form team is at the moment that ends top and not necessarily who were ranked higher in the previous WC.

deans has failed, period!
Campaign highlights Wallaby shortcomings by: Jim Tucker
From: The Daily Telegraph October 18, 2011
ROBBIE Deans is still the right man to be coaching the Wallabies but he needs to find a brawny, cauliflower-eared Argentinian prop who can scrum like a truck and a 105kg centre who can smash defences in a hurry.
The post-mortem on the World Cup cannot just focus on Deans, as coach, or five-eighth Quade Cooper, who never looked comfortably in rhythm for much of the Wallabies’ three important games.
The overwhelming feeling from six weeks at the tournament is that the Wallabies are not the team of out and out stars that fans, past players and the media thought they would be.
Just an example. The Wallabies would kill for a line-busting, all-purpose centre like Jamie Roberts or a prop off the conveyor belt from Buenos Aires.
The 1991 and 1999 World Cup triumphs have put the bar exceedingly high on this country’s expectations at the tournament every four years. Australian media made hotel bookings all the way through to the final. The Irish press made theirs only to the quarters.
On the trusted measure of needing five or six World XV quality players to win a World Cup, the Wallabies came up well short.
Only lionhearted flanker David Pocock and fullback Kurtley Beale were hands-down in that club. Winger Digby Ioane and skipper James Horwill put their hands up at their best moments as did halfback Will Genia, who was still far less of a standout than expected.
What did we get out of six weeks? There was a blur of wonderful second half tries against Italy, the predictable try-fests against the US and Russia and a supremely gritty and character-filled win over South Africa.
Against the All Blacks in the semi we barely fired a shot which is the toughest thing to swallow.
With two non-passing centres like wonderfully courageous Pat McCabe and Anthony Faingaa, Australia’s best weapons on the wing in Ioane and James O’Connor were starved of ball.
We now realise how much that shock loss to Ireland spooked the Wallabies because it convinced Deans to put away the expansive point-of-difference style he had drilled for four years in favour of a poorly-executed kicking and pseudo-northern hemisphere game.
Kicks were rushed away early in the phase count instead of holding the ball for longer. Cooper looked at sea with it all too.
Deans is devoted to the job but it is also about results. He was shown faith with a new two-year deal before the Cup but now it’s a series win over the British and Irish Lions in 2013 or bye-bye.

I concede I got the rankings wrong regarding France/NZ, I presumed that would be the case since they beat NZ.
But even so my point is that it doesn’t serve as an advantage to anyone, so where’s the reward in that?
We know who the top teams in the world are and they usually take the 1st and 2nd spot in the pools.
Who ends on top during pool play is decided by who the form team is that year, that moment and NOT on ranking systems of 4 years ago.

Again you deliberately miss the point and try to confuse by making Gerald the subject.
Your twisted, deliberately distorted and quite sick ethnic agenda is the subject and the substantitiation I forwaed is the mischievious cricket reference to “rajan” whilst ignoring the prime example of fraud, G. Majola in cricket and the same city. Rajan who I do not know and certainly thus not as a Sacos member actually served a sentence for his crime and as such is free to rejoin functioning in any society again if they trust and allow him.
Gerald is not the Majola family. That truly belongs to Eric and the brother Khaya and everybody else.
” you want to denounce gerald majola now, when you were quite eager to adopt him, his brother and family … ”
Stating, as a fact of life and thus truth, that I have seen(and more) Eric at cricket and rugby and Khaya at cricket and housed some nephews as members of EPTTU is deliberately and shamelessly distorted into ” to adopt him, his brother & family in your namedropping ” ? How do you cross that divide. Better still bring forth the substantiation to support your twisted, distorted wild claim.
You are clearly quite disturbed to make such unfounded, desperate claims. For that you should blame your pathologic arrogance that a quirk, aberration of history now affords you.
Easier still reveal one instance where I have made a positive comment about the crook, Gerald.
Again I say the subject is your trying to counter truth the only despicable way you know how and that is to distort, twist notions and ideas and LIE. Depravity should be your name.

My point is that the next four teams are also good teams so what’s the advantage in avoiding anybody as these 8 teams can more or less beat each other on any given day depending on form, fitness, conditions etc.
Australia are in the top 4, they may get drawn into the same pool as their bogey team England next WC, or heaven forbid the mighty Irish again.
Where is the advantage in any of that, in fact I’d be happy if say the Boks end up with NZ in a group then we’ll sort each other out and will only be able to meet again in a Final.

In 1990 3 kids were playing in the street in Sydney when they were hit by a train. They all go to heaven and God says to them, “You weren’t supposed to die, you were all supposed to live out your lives. This was not your time. To make it up to you, I’ll let you choose what you want to do with your life. Take a running jump off of that cloud over there, and as you’re flying back down to Earth, shout out what you want to do. And so it shall be.”
The 1st kid takes a running leap and shouts “Lawyer” and so, 20 years later, he is a very successful lawyer, making lots of money, with an upcoming appointment to the Bench.
The 2nd kid takes his turn and shouts “brain surgeon” and so, 20 years later, he is the most admired man in his field of medicine and making a ton of money saving lives.
The 3rd kid goes to take his turn, and as he runs he trips over his own feet and stumbles of the cloud muttering “stupid clumsy arsehole.” 20 years later, he’s playing the back line for the All Blacks.

**** me – another terrible display by a referee.
That’ll do me – all I want to see is a fair game but this WC proved that they are a thing of the past. This WC has been a refereeing disaster and I’m barely interested in games any more.
And for allt those Kiwis who are about to comment that “you are only whinging because SA is no longer in the tournament”….well thats garbage because I watched tonights game expecting some good Rugby and was looking forward to it.
But once again agendas got in the way.

The seven dwarfs went off to work in the mine one day, while Snow White stayed at home to do the housework and cook their lunch.
However when she went to the mine to deliver their lunches, she found there had been a cave-in, and there was no sign of the dwarfs.
Tearfully she yelled in to the mine entrance:”hello – is anyone there. Can anyone hear me”.
A voice floated up from the bowels of the mine:
” All Blacks will win the Rugby World Cup”
“Thank god” said Snow White “at least Dopey’s still alive”

thats not even funny.
PDV asked the Bok team to line up in their usual positions, he turns back around and the Bok team are all behind the goal posts.
PDV yells ” What are you all doing” ?
Team answers ” We are waiting for the conversion. ”
Agghhh an oldie but a goodie
21 Oct 2011, 14:00 pm
G henry takes the All Blacks out for training and tells everyone to assume their normal position. So they all go and stand behind the goalposts and wait for the conversion.
21 Oct 2011, 14:01 pm
@Lions_is_kak_kak_honde_honde_kak(suffer_guy)-335: lucky your team had all that rest during the 3Ns, they should be nice and fresh come the semi finals of the world cup..
oops
21 Oct 2011, 14:01 pm
@Lions_is_kak_kak_honde_honde_kak(suffer_guy)-335: Great story! Just lacks the one essential element of all good jokes. Humour!
Please!!! the Springbok back line lie in bed at night and dream of playing with the fluency and accuracy of the AB back line.
SA back play has not gone any where in years. Who are you trying to kid? The Boks wouldn’t know what to do with a talent like Dagg. He simply couldn’t operate in a backline with such limited ambition as the Boks.

Three rugby fans were on their way to a game when one fan noticed a foot protruding from a clump of bushes on the side of the road. They all stopped and discovered it was a nude female, dead drunk. Out of respect and propriety, the Aussie fan took off his cap and placed it over her right breast. The All-Black fan took off his cap and placed it over her left breast. Following their lead, the Springbok fan took off his cap and placed it over her crotch.
The police were called and when the officer arrived, he conducted his inspection. First, he lifted up the Aussie cap, and wrote down some notes. Next, he lifted the All-Black cap, replaced it, and wrote down some notes. The officer then lifted the Springbok cap, replaced it, lifted it replaced it, lifted it a third time and replaced it one last time.
The Springbok fan was getting upset and finally asked,” what are you, a pervert or something? Why do you keep lifting and looking lifting and looking?”
Well,” said the officer,” I am simply surprised. Normally when I look under a springbok hat, I find an @rsehole!”

The All Blacks were playing South Africa, and after the half-time whistle blew they found themselves ahead 50-0, Nonu getting eight tries. The rest of the team decided to head for the pub instead of playing the second half, leaving Nonu to go out on his own.
“No worries,” Nonu told them, “I’ll join you later and tell you what happened.” After the game Nonu headed for the pub where he told his teammates the final score: 95-3.
“What!!!!” said a furious Richie McCaw, “How did you let them get three points??!” Nonu replied apologetically, “I was sent off with 20 minutes to go.”

Is TRUTH ever the all important aspect to life that it should be to you?
I know it is not but you can at least pretend it is or is your state of being exposed to the state of being naked making you so desperate that you totally have to disregard TRUTH.
Every claim you make is devoid of truth, unfounded and wild and there are so many that I refuse to deal with them by ignoring them. But I will handle a few today to further teach you a lesson in life.
Your most recent wild claim is found in your words ” obsessed with ethnicity “. I will expose that.
Did you not years ago refer to Josephs and Davids, two persons that I again do not know. For what specific reason/s did I have to answer for their misdeeds whatever it was(and I still do not nor care to know) Was it because they are supposedly mixed race persons and compromised? – strike one.
Who gave you the need late one Fri. night to refer to my wife as “a coloured lady” when she is not and has never perceived herself as such other than just being a human being? If you do not know why use a specific ethnic tag? Why is her ethnic status ever a question to you especially if you are non-racial and more so if you have never had to ever deal with her in any form not even in dicussion with me? – strike two.
What was the expressed purpose of mentioning, specifically to me, the deeds of one Rajan Moods., again a total unknown to me, other than that he is not a black enough black? This one seems even more mischievous when a far bigger perpetrator of worse misdeeds is his potential Boss from the same city whom he clearly knows as do you? – strike three.
See that consistency in idea over many years in your line of thought? There are more but you only need three strikes to be out and outed.
Do you still want to know about being “obsessed with ethnicity”.
As for bringing Sacos into it begs another explanation of your intent as NO society or organisation needs to answer for any of its members as they all have many good and a few bad apples.
No doubt TRUTH escapes you.
Without consistent truth your every word is irrelevant and worthless.

I’m late on this, but I’m not even kidding when I say Berrick Barnes has to be included in the first 15. I remember Wayne Smith just flat out saying once how much the All Blacks coaches rate Barnes. He’s got tremendous skills and a great turn of pace, and doesnt make nearly the mistakes of a QC.
21 Oct 2011, 15:07 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-384: Eddie Jones & Jake White are perfect for each other.
Robbie Deans should be sacked
by: Eddie Jones From: The Daily Telegraph October 22, 2011 12:00AM
A MAJOR shake-up to improve the coaching set-up at the Wallabies is essential because the shortcomings of the Robbie Deans formula has been exposed by his team not firing a shot when it mattered at the World Cup.
What a contrasting day last Sunday was. Rugby league’s Kangaroos disposed of the Kiwis in a clinical affair where speed, skill and resilience were shown.
In comparison, the Wallabies made a silent exit from the World Cup, gunpowder unused.
A world-class team includes expert coaches.
Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens is surrounded by the best in the NRL. All Blacks coach Graham Henry has Steve Hansen and Wayne Smith as assistants and both have been head coaches at Test level.
The Wallabies utilise scrum coach Patricio Noriega and Jim Williams to guide the forwards and both are in their first professional coaching roles at the international level.
High-performance manager David Nucifora is also an assistant coach which makes for an interesting review process.
Nucifora will demand greater results post-World Cup than the current win rate that idles under 60 per cent. Deans will promise and restructure, which means bye-bye to Jim and Pato. ARU boss John O’Neill will unveil a new and exciting team.
The catch phrases of Generation Next and Deans’s youth policy will be peddled out. New Zealand is famous for its wool. Deans and his ARU spin team must have brought plenty over from NZ, covering everyone’s eyes in the process.
Better assistant coaches, including one with tactical expertise, are essential for 2012. If the ARU is unwilling to make the decision on the dysfunctional Wallaby coaching group, Reds boss Ewen McKenzie should come in as head coach.
Deans has a way of stating the obvious in a convoluted way. He says plenty with very little substance as to the details of the game.
Back to last Sunday. The Roos had two left-foot kickers (Cameron Smith and Darren Lockyer) and two right-foot kickers (Billy Slater and Johnathan Thurston).
The Wallabies left their only left-footer, Matt Giteau, at home. The advantage of left and right kickers is it splits the field, meaning the fullback must stay in the centre. That opens up touchline opportunities.
Deans picked an inside centre in Pat McCabe who cannot pass. As a result, a 5-on-3 chance saw McCabe running into a prop, being tackled, penalised and conceding three points.
Add to this a No.6 in Rocky Elsom who was invisible, and a No.8 in Radike Samo whose workrate is measured on metres run instead of tackles and breakdowns challenged. (Pierre Spies)
Older players such as Lote Tuqiri, Phil Waugh, Al Baxter and Giteau were all deemed past it or troublemakers.
The four-season philosophy of “play what’s in front of you” from Deans was thrown out to go to a field position game in cut-throat World Cup games. (skop n jag)
Is there a structure that players can fall back on when things are going pear-shaped in games with limited scoring opportunities? Test teams must be shrewd and have a plan A and B. Reds coach Ewen McKenzie has shown he is tactically shrewd.
21 Oct 2011, 15:07 pm
300:
Since you clearly have problems with reading to understand and subsequently responding to points and questions raised, as in 284, let me make it far simpler for you.
” i mentioned that your SACOS gatgabba rajan was standing for election. ”
” i mentioned rajan, your gatgabba because it was breaking news HERE in the EC ..”
I read S.A. news first thing every morning here as it is my home page.
If it was merely all about ” breaking news” why distract from that “news” by introducing “gatgabba” and “SACOS”. Therein lies the intent of your agenda, the very same one refrred to in 284 as being founded on distortions, twisted logic, LIES.
How do you define the emotional gabbage term, “gatgabba”?
What twisted perception do you have of the non-racial SACOS that Kwaru belonged to and millions of blacks supported even as one of the few true political means of expression and protests, as witnessed by them being on the podium of many emotional funerals, in very dark days?
Or were you too busy living it up with the Dlaminis of Swaziland to know and understand that?
You are a FRAUD again I have to say to you.

you are just obsessed with ethnicity and you couch it by claiming you are non-racial yet everything that you see you first analyse wrt race.
if WPTill I Die says something to you, your retort is guaranteed to first label him on his race! every single day you delude yourself that you’re on some crusade to “exorcise” racist meanwhile the biggest one is you, combing everyone’s posts looking for hate.

@Transfornication386:
You have, like the coward I have suspected you are(remember threatening violence), thrown in the towel because there is nothing you can counter effectively(see also 405, made simple).
Always much initial noise and then you whimper off like a denied hyena. Attempt to counter the questions with reference to my wife since it is well known to me and it TRULY manisfested such heart-wrenching concern by you. If that does not SCREAM ETHNICITY what does then? Why was it important to you? You could not handle nor answer it then as you now again cannot.
Your total lack of being original and your total honesty about your every word being worthless and irrelevant too is so soul-destroying. I hope you make it through the night.
The LIAR has never been, and will never be, in any position to answer the TRUTH.
And you were seeking a church when you visited C.T.? I feel sorry for you god as he/she must have disturbing problems in dealing with you.

This whole WC and IRB smack of money grabbers!
How can they just carry on with this stale affair of WC and letting the teams line up so mismatched.
Take a leaf out of the Sevens tournies. Bring in a Plate or bowl final. Let the smaller teams that just miss the cup play games to enter a bowl final! Imagine an angry Somaon side playing Tonga or even Ireland in a bowl final.
This format has helped some smaller teams in WR to get better and would help these “fringe” teams cope beteer in the next WC.
I promise you a game between Somao and Tonga would be better than this Aussie thing that was just boring!
Why do we have to follow the Soccer format and stay behind. Geive the thing some spice and better Rugby as a whole! It works for sevens, why not get it to work for the WC.
Start thinking IRB….you might even make some cash during this!

21 Oct 2011, 15:39 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-421: They will deny being interested in the game, but they will watch it wishing the greatest of ill on the AB’s. Holding thumbs that the french will win.
If the French do , so be it , the AB’s finished 2nd , still better than 8th… With all the extra time they have on their hands , why dont they dont another in depth look at the sa vs oz game, instead of looking at bryce , makes notes of what the boks did wrong …
21 Oct 2011, 15:41 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-426:
i’m happy with the reaction no problems there
21 Oct 2011, 15:42 pm
@DocNZ(DocNZ)-433: the bokke dont do no wrong, you are obviously quite new to keomedy.co…
when SA lose its the refs fault, the conspiracy is in full swing and theres corruption in the sport, travel disadvantage, Australasian reffing alliance etc etc etc..
give it time, youll get used to it
21 Oct 2011, 15:42 pm
@DocNZ(DocNZ)-433: why dont they dont dude are you serious, anyway as for me Mother Earth said all it needed to say about you wifebeating cannibals this year already
21 Oct 2011, 15:42 pm
@ET.(ET.)-417: somebody mentioned your wife was coloured, i just asked to confirm. i could care less of what race your wife dude, jump up and down all you want, you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill again.
i asked another blogger if “ET is married to a coloured lady” woooooooh i must be obsessed with ethnicity
21 Oct 2011, 15:43 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-430: Quite sad really, especially since 60 % of NZ opinion pole stated SA should be there as they were wronged. Anyway.
21 Oct 2011, 15:43 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-413: I’m so glad you are cheering the Frenchies on. It is a good omen. All the teams you cheer for end up losing. You have taken the curse from Keo.

@poppa69(poppa69)-435:
ha ha
21 Oct 2011, 15:44 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-435: and you have the cheek to mention conspiracies after the farce you idiots like to call Suzie, it must be hell living in such a pathetic mind as yours, I actually feel sorry for you.
21 Oct 2011, 15:44 pm
@rossoneri(rossoneri)-432: why only jim? how come robbie didn’t see that like GH did and got mike cron in?
21 Oct 2011, 15:44 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-436: chin up old chap, that way your tears will slowly roll down your face rather than the deluge we are now witnessing…
and here I was thinking SA wasnt for sissies, youve certainly changed that view..
thanks mamparra… but hey, at least the Bokke didnt play as badly as the bulls
21 Oct 2011, 15:44 pm
If E.T. talks like he writes (long winded, nonsensical, self righteous drivel) he must be one excrutiatingly boring chappie to be around.

the kiss of HG? no!
21 Oct 2011, 15:45 pm
@DocNZ(DocNZ)-433: I’m actually rooting for the ABs but I do not suffer from the need to growl at anyone who opposes my view.
21 Oct 2011, 15:46 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-441: Ive never been one to cling to the Susie theory, ask transformation forensic services…
but nice try, you are actually improving, progress has been made
21 Oct 2011, 15:47 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-436: I am happy to dissapoint you , born in SA , stay and work in SA. Sucks to be you.
21 Oct 2011, 15:47 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-443: and why would the way the bulls play concern me werfetter? How did I change your view by not bowing down to the dirty ballsack rugby team gaan vlieg wifebeater
21 Oct 2011, 15:47 pm
@Bismarck Burger(Bismarck Burger)-446: thank you… many kiwis cheered for SA in 07, but the treatment by many after the 07 tournament left a sour taste for many kiwi’s… now its come full circle so excuse us for dishing it out for a change…

21 Oct 2011, 15:49 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-447: Susie, she must be a new one was that for 99 or 07 as the one you all rely on for 95 was Suzie!! Oh well you’ll try again I am sure
21 Oct 2011, 15:49 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-449: LMFAO..
keep crying boy, it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside..
nice to see your hurt all over these pages… has made my weekend..
what now? more insults and use of a language I dont understand because youre so brave? bwahahahahahaha
21 Oct 2011, 15:49 pm
@Transfornication-415:
Not one substantive response at all today even to 405 now.
Again you read and do not understand.
Is there any reference there to your ” how am i related to the ANC “? Can an organization be your relative(mockingly)
All those, if presented honestly by you, are a big poke at your ETHNIC AGENDA you have demonstrated(my wife question) and earned the tag of in your time of distorting historical facts, twisting notions, nonsensical questions about people unknown to me and blatantly lying about many things merely to pander to other FAKES, like WPTID.
He even admitted to lying(and apologised) about non-racism (Howa and cricket) and was found out and exposed on other levels e.g. alcohol in blood, white economy cannot mean non-racial SA and such like, so he and you must proudly wear your medals of dishonour.
To me it sounds you are now crying like a baby. “Hardenthefuck-up” please as you are a 6′ plus giant, not so?
21 Oct 2011, 15:50 pm
@DocNZ(DocNZ)-448: You want to suck my what? You dirty swine.
21 Oct 2011, 15:50 pm
@rossoneri(rossoneri)-439: I support the underdog… simple. Unlike cowardly Caped Crusaders…
And sometimes the underdog wins… It would take a miracle for the surrendermonkey underdogs to win against the extremely brave Kiwis… but imagine if they managed to pull off the impossible… I mean the brave Kiwis are already celebrating…. Ticker tape parades and all
But just imagine….
21 Oct 2011, 15:50 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-453: isnt Susie Bryce’s daughter?
glad he got the jarpies, with specimens like yourself I think his euthanasia was the kindest act possible…
21 Oct 2011, 15:52 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-457: really, do you have proof of this ticker tape parade? when did it happen? what streets were involved? how many people turned up?
21 Oct 2011, 15:52 pm
Watched Reunion last night.
My farking word. Like him as a coach or not, Jake White knows what he’s talking about when it comes to rugby. He is about as technically astuted as you will ever find in a rugby coach.
Something which has been blatanly lacking in the last 4 years.
So much so that when listening to White, you remember again what a coach is actually there for.
21 Oct 2011, 15:52 pm
…technically astute…
21 Oct 2011, 15:52 pm
8/1 underdogs winning the Rigged World Cup…
Come off it…
It can never happen, can it…
Never, ever.
21 Oct 2011, 15:53 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-454: Hey I answered in a language you engaged with the word mampara (for future refererence that is how it is spelt). Merely following your lead wifebeater but hey it it is a little tough for you sissy just let me know and I will stop wouldn’t want to hurt your feelings. I am not hurting I am really looking forward to a great weekend of rugby on Saturday and cricket on Sunday with a decent braai to boot.
21 Oct 2011, 15:53 pm
all you Kiwi’s are obviously loving the current situation but know this, the way your are going on now, rubbing it in our faces, the schadenfreude on display, only serves to demonstrate your own ungracious nature in victory, rather than how badly we take defeat. yes we take defeat badly, just as you do, and some people might have given you the same treatment when you were knocked out in 2007, but instead of being better people, you’ve just dived straight down to that level yourselves, congratulations i guess.
21 Oct 2011, 15:54 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-462: it can happen, and has in the past… we wont find out until this sunday, but thats sport… not the be all and end all in the big scheme of things…
21 Oct 2011, 15:55 pm
@Hoops(Hoops)-452: You must be of the P Divvy school of logic , all AB’s supporters come from CPT …. LOL!! Epic fail of note .
21 Oct 2011, 15:55 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-459: Well Bryce had too didn’t he cos mcwhore, sally jill and the headbutter wouldn’t have managed
21 Oct 2011, 15:56 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-464: hey, shame you werent like that for the last four years when all and sundry had their digs, ad nauseam…. would you after 4 years sit back and not enjoy the moment? dont think so..
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-463: wifebeater? again? how very sad… still, enjoy the cricket on the weekend, and the braai, whats for dinner? dead springbok?
21 Oct 2011, 15:56 pm
@John Galt(John Galt)-460:
Good to hear, why has nobody offered him a job until now though I would have thought a WC winning coach with have been inundated with job offers?
21 Oct 2011, 15:58 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-450: I’m sure that’s true, but do not assume that those represent me and all on site. No problem in the banter – we just love this game. I am just worried some get way beyond the issue.
21 Oct 2011, 16:00 pm
@John Galt(John Galt)-460: I am also a fan and had the priviledge of chatting to him. A good, intelligent, realistic coach
21 Oct 2011, 16:00 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-429:
Your “ethnic black” guy now is crying like a baby as I exposed him, like you, by my focus on your not so subtle references to ethnicity. It is and was all there in black and white (not ever grey) on my page.
His “is his wife a coloured lady?” is the equivalent of your ” Are you ethnic black?”
I nakedly expose that and now I become the ethnic guy? More like I am the ethnic cleanser by eradicating fools like you.
21 Oct 2011, 16:00 pm
The utter humiliation…
Should the 8/1 underdogs ever happen to win come Sunday…
Cant happen can it…?
We know Kiwis can’t win a WC away from home, but not being able to win your own WC…
Against the cheese eating surrendermonkeys…?
Embarrassing
But it can never ever happen…
The ABs are “relaxed” and Kiwis are celebrating already… Drastic Ticker tape shortage
21 Oct 2011, 16:00 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-468: all i’m saying is that you’re on the verge of winning the world cup, is that not enjoyment enough? there’s a endless idiots to argue with here if that’s what you want, just if i were you i’d rather enjoy the win and not get involved with the petty arguments that go on here…
21 Oct 2011, 16:01 pm
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-469: Many offers that he turned down. Has 4-year committment with Brumbies
21 Oct 2011, 16:01 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-468: Sad maybe but true, and hey springbok on the braai will always be better than wet just shagged by a kiwi nz sheep!!!!
21 Oct 2011, 16:02 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-473:
This has been going on for days now, are you ok buddy, serious question.
21 Oct 2011, 16:02 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-473: so no proof of a ticker tape parade already occurring? not even going to answer the questions? thought so, all mouth no substance..
21 Oct 2011, 16:03 pm
@Bismarck Burger(Bismarck Burger)-475:
Yer I know about the Brumbies deal, was just wondering why he had taken so long to get back into coaching.
21 Oct 2011, 16:04 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-476: sheep jokes? seriously?
wow, the level of intelligence youve portrayed is truly remarkable..
keep grinding that organ, your handler must be sooooooo proud..
21 Oct 2011, 16:04 pm
@ET.(ET.)-472: Mr Grey, the Cape Crusading Freedom Fighter of “Tokoza”…

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-473:
You place all these nooses around your necks(8/1 France) and then you have to run off to France or Transfornication to Swaziland to live it down in utter shame.
No wisdom at all in your agendas.
Follow truth, even if only perceived truth. You are safer for that.
21 Oct 2011, 16:06 pm
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-479: I will tell you that the man was drained and really draggfed through the streets by the SARU truck of fatcats by 2006. I reckon he just wanted to disappear from the scene. Money was not going to be a problem with the book and the bonus.
But he was taking biiiig strain.
21 Oct 2011, 16:06 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-474: we’ve won nothing yet, not getting ahead of anything this kiwi… IF we end the game on the right side of the scoreboard then I’ll celebrate, not before… in the meantime, I know guys like bluepussy and Hg are hurting, so much so that it is a sight to behold… couldnt happen to more deserving blokes actually…
21 Oct 2011, 16:07 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-464: Now would be the best time for a bok supporter to attempt to take the moral high ground as they are no longer in the compitition. How well were we treated 2007 after Cardiff?
We have been reminded of it almost everyday for the last 4 years. Even when some of us have offered our best wishes to the boks during all their games. Yet now it seems that they are not capable of looking at their own poor performance and being honest about it.
Turn the tables and imagine it was the blacks that lost the QF in place of the boks, I for one would look at how my team messed up so much possesion and territory. Instead it is just easier to put it all on the ref. That way the boks deny the failure to turn possesion and territory into points.
Bryce did not have a wonderful game, but you guys as 2007 champs should have been able to put points on the board with drop goals. Everyone is saying the is a **** world cup cos the boks should have played the blacks in the semi’s only then would it have given any credance to this event, rewind to 2007 nothing mentioned about the boks not playing the wallabies or the blacks , because it does not serve your needs.
Chin up old boy. It is just a game , and even after the loss to the wallabies, the sun still rose the next day.
21 Oct 2011, 16:08 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-480: who’s joking? You are right I have displayed a small challenge in intelligence today I engaged you in a battle of wits and that is not really fair you being unarmed and all!!!
21 Oct 2011, 16:08 pm
still no answer to the questions HG?
21 Oct 2011, 16:09 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-485:
HG is a little scary to be honest repeating himself now for days on end is not a good sign.
21 Oct 2011, 16:09 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-482:
Should you not be that authority as he is likely to be my “gatgabba”, by you way of thinking, especially being, like those others, also from eBhayi?
21 Oct 2011, 16:09 pm
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-477: I am 100% Looking forward to definitely not seeing the cheese eating cowardly surrendermonkeys from beating the brave All Blacks…
The cowardly French rabble vs the brave, relaxed ABs…
The biggest mismatch in the history of the WC, and I look forward to seeing it happen…
Dont believe those Kiwi papers who say the French are “brutal”… Naah, they be pussycats…
They are waving their white flags already…
(I reckon one or two of them have even joined one or two of the ticker tape parades already… just to experience the winning atmosphere
)
21 Oct 2011, 16:10 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-487: another cliche… cmon blue, surely you can engage the neurons and be original? not too much to ask surely?
21 Oct 2011, 16:10 pm
@DocNZ(DocNZ)-486: I said we would have been glad to play them both because in 2007 we would have beaten them both.
21 Oct 2011, 16:10 pm
@Bismarck Burger(Bismarck Burger)-484:
He won the biggest prize there is so he must be a good coach, average record outside of the WC though.
21 Oct 2011, 16:12 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-491:
Ok well thats good to know.
21 Oct 2011, 16:12 pm
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-489: of course, but then it is HG… I see hes avoided answering the questions about where this supposed tickertape parade was? again, hes just mouthing off to hide his own disappointment that Cirque de Springbok couldnt perform under the big top..
but the clown was and always will be the funniest part of the show
21 Oct 2011, 16:12 pm
@ET.(ET.)-455: why should i dignify your convoluted rubbish with answers?
everyday you come and posture here to be a know-it-all is further confirmation to all and sundry of how feeble-minded and obsessed with ethnicity you are.
21 Oct 2011, 16:12 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-492: This from you who has never had an original thought in his life tut tut. I must say you are winning me over I feel more sympathy from you with every inane comment you type, I trust you are typing them yourself?
21 Oct 2011, 16:12 pm
@ET.(ET.)-483: It gets a bit easy placing the noose around yours all the time, ExtraThuvi…
“Tokoza” Freedom Fighters deserve more respect…
21 Oct 2011, 16:13 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-493: like you beat us straight after at newlands in 2008 with your WC winning side?
21 Oct 2011, 16:14 pm
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-494: That is true, but I would also look at what he did in sticking to 20 guys for the big prize. He did sacrifice some games in the process and 2006 was a mess. This is the biggest pity for me as a SA fan. We should be displaying AB level consistency with the talent available. We really should and that’s why I have to give the ABs the title of the world’s best.
21 Oct 2011, 16:15 pm
@John Galt(John Galt)-460: i watched the same show, didn’t here anything astute from what he said. he was “supposing” everything and stating the obvious as he is wont to do.
21 Oct 2011, 16:16 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-498: Ive had quite a few original thoughts actually…
like how wonderful it was to see bryce completely gut and skin a toothless little springbok…
was a real classy effort, and all only with a whistle… amazing stuff..
21 Oct 2011, 16:16 pm
Maybe Brycie will get an NZ Bravery medal…
And Paddy.
The epitome of Kiwi Bravery
Maybe they will also get their own Ticker Tape parades…if there’s any ticker tape left…
If not, bogroll will do.
21 Oct 2011, 16:17 pm
@ET.(ET.)-472: hahaha are you now crowning yourself hehehe typical w_anker mentality…dontsa ucingo!
21 Oct 2011, 16:17 pm
@DocNZ(DocNZ)-486: i’m not taking the moral high ground at all, i’m merely pointing out that some of the kiwi bloggers on here have missed out on the opportunity to do so themselves.
i’m a perfectly fine with the Bok loss, as many people here are, it’s just a highly vocal few that are still struggling with it. i thought the referee was bad and possibly cost us the game, but that doesn’t mean i don’t also believe we should have done more to win. and while i believe the Boks would have given the ABs a better game than Aus, i still believe the AB’s would have won, so not everyone on this site is as bitter or deluded as you believe.
and as i mentioned earlier, many people i know are hoping for an AB win, so please let just keep things toned down a bit, not everyone on here hates all things New Zealand, that’s all i’m saying
21 Oct 2011, 16:18 pm
@bluealligator(bluealligator)-493: Kinda hollow victory then hey? Cant claim to be the best without beating the best and the greatest showcase of the sport ….
Still the history book have recorded that the boks won the 2007 RWC .
21 Oct 2011, 16:20 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-506: Well said and I will add my AMEN to that. Hoping for the ABs to do it
21 Oct 2011, 16:20 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-506: You have my appoligies then . You have shown yourself to be better than many others . You have my respect for that.
21 Oct 2011, 16:23 pm
@Bismarck Burger(Bismarck Burger)-501:
Yip you should be, the Bokke have lost so many tests in recent years their proud record is diminishing, for your sake I hope your next coach wants to win everything all of the time.
21 Oct 2011, 16:24 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-506:
nice one mate
21 Oct 2011, 16:24 pm
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-510: That’s the simple but effective vision needed – win everything all the time
21 Oct 2011, 16:24 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-506: what gets me is the total hypocrisy in 2007 being “above board”, yet 2011 theres corruption in the sport..
all this when the ABs in 2007 copped it worse than SA did in their 1/4 final..
2 penalties (not one in the second half) by a French side who had the same possession stats as the Wobblies, yet it was apparently all above board by many posters here..
so now you want us to take the moral highground after 4 years of being told to take it on the chin? strange logic imo…
21 Oct 2011, 16:26 pm
From Midi Olympique, French Rugby site:
But something strikes when you see the All Blacks: their relaxation. Not to mention the press and the fans that leave “no chance” the French for this game, the next great “relax” players Graham Henry thinking. Of course, discourses are policed ??and all say it is “wary” of so “unpredictable French,” but little signs speak. And one wonders if the vigilance demanded by Graham Henry is really there.
21 Oct 2011, 16:29 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-506: you are going to have to repeat this post for the next four years because with the impending all black victory poppa and the gang have it in for ALL saffas
21 Oct 2011, 16:31 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-513: nobody wants you to take the moral high ground poppa, bludgeon away. it is called “returning serve”.
i can imagine you’ve been suffering in silence since ’07
21 Oct 2011, 16:31 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-497:
For the simple reason to demonstrate that there is truth and thus validity in your claims.
Be very careful that I do not bump into all of the 6′ plus of you down Humewood way pretty soon.
I will be there over much of late November, December and early Jan. and just to show my irrelevancy I will be attending at least 3 meetings there and more in cape Town.
BTW I get to choose what “from the ground” and my sources is meaningful to me and not you with the impertinence of indecent, selfish officials.
21 Oct 2011, 16:33 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-515: I dont know why though. Even if they do win… I dont know why they keep overrating themselves…they can only come talk when their beloved brave AB’s actually win a WC away from home
21 Oct 2011, 16:33 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-515: @Transformation(Transformation)-516: not at all Trans, just the way the whole thing has come full circle is its own reward….

Do not trust Transfornication one bit. He is just waiting to pounce if you should compromise yourself.

21 Oct 2011, 16:37 pm
@ET.(ET.)-520: I know this ET… its his modus operandi… poor soul doesnt offer his own opinion too often, but hey, if it makes him feel so superior then Ive done my job…
HG – I’ll pose the questions again since youve conveniently avoided them…where was this tickertape parade? what streets did it go down? how many people turned up? still awaiting your proof of a tickertape parade already happening…
21 Oct 2011, 16:39 pm

He looks pretty good, Colin was not up to the job.

I can honestly not make any promises as this is first and foremost a visit for my aging parents especially my mother.
I also do not know my movements and where I will be when. I promised to spend most time in P.E.but I will be in C.T., E.L., Durban and surrounds amongst other places.And I want only to drive to and from those places.
I used to swim often further away from the city beyond Pollock Beach, a place called Musketeer Dam, which was one of the the allocated beaches way back when.

@DocNZ(DocNZ)-529: when the “three wise men” dropped cruden for slade after an unpolished performance last year i said they’ve got it wrong, even when they took Beaver to the eoyt but hey, lady luck has smiled on them and aaron is a filling in nicely.

I think GH questioned his youthfulness and lack of experience even after using him 6 times in the system in 2010 and paying not much attention to him this past 2011 S15.
I discussed him here during the S15 season, with your fellow Kiwi Hurricane and was impressed by the performmances I witnessed. I was happy he was called up after the DC injury but expected GH to stay with Slade. And then another injury, this time to Slade.
Hey pops I am six for six in the KO phase and will manintain my 100% if the ABs win. How are your calls doing? Do you all realise things are playing out in the KOs just as it happened in 1987?
BTW Cruden has not lost yet in an AB jersey and it is 8 or 9 times now.

I do not know those delinquents you mentioned earlier. It is decades since I left PE for CT where I got totally immersed in many things.
I simply want things to improve totally for the average person in the street including players in all codes. I have little respect for present day administrators whoever they may be.
On the last 2 visits to PE and CT I had invites to cricket (as it was summer) but refused to accept as I have grown accumstomed to seeing much more on TV. Now I am addicted to my laptop where things are even closer to my eyes.

@ET.(ET.)-535: I stopped tipping a few weeks back, other more important things to concentrate on at the time… The cartel actually sent cruden away to work on aspects of his game, such as kicking etc and he has taken it on board and has worked really hard at those aspects, so good on him for making the effort…
and yep, I see the similarities to 87, but it was france beating Aussies with Blancos try in the left hand corner and NZ thrashing Wales in the semis…

@Transformation(Transformation)-546: I want an answer from him, because he sometimes seems like a reasonable b#gger. But he’s allowed HG to rile him to the point of essentially conceding that the Boks’ exit was entirely Bryce’s doing… and that’s a bit of a giggle.
21 Oct 2011, 17:23 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-540:
Yes the semis were reversed 1987.
France can be a tricky proposotion on Sunday but I think Mccaw and his troopers will be prepared for any eventuality and not leave things for too late. They will eagerly want to put distance between them and France.
If France play like they did for the first 10 mins. of the pool game and maintain and sustain it for about 50 mins. then there will be a titanic battle at hand.
I, however, can only see the ABs prevailing in the end.
But there is no such thing as a certainty. I have seen the next sure US Triple Crown winner start as odds on favourite in the 2nd leg and 10 metres out of the gate he broke his leg and died months afterwards as the public wanted him to live. The story of the great Barbaro.
21 Oct 2011, 17:24 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-547: Good. Likewise to NZ etc. But see 550 above. You’re just adding fuel to his loony conspiracy fire.

I know what it’s called. Are you sure he does?
21 Oct 2011, 17:29 pm
ET. – I’m very wary of the French, they have great respect for the ABs and as such usually lift accordingly. the pool game will not be anything like the French team we face on Sunday.
21 Oct 2011, 17:30 pm
And again, as per comments a few days ago, my nose is being rubbed again on his account. It’s like me insulting the AB’s and their supporters because Tackler’s a w@nker.

This World Cup is descending into a miff pit of blandness. The only good that can possibly come from World frigging Cup 2011 is that New Zealand win it and they make some cash. As for the rest – Wallies coming 3rd pfft. Rubbish game played by a bunch of tossers who should have been in the 3rd place playoff.
And whoopee do we get to see lame French losers who shouldnt have made it out their pool contest the final. Mediocrity is prized obviosuly. Miff Cup 2011.
If the Kiwis dont annihilate France on Sunday i´ll be very dissapointed.

I think you were more cunning than that. Somehow you got to SARU and bribed them (not hard) to hire duh Villiers, knowing he’d be a slow poison for the hopes and dreams of Bok rugby…you sly dog you.

If Bok rugby is lucky and gets the honour, they might just be blessed enough to be graced by His Royal Highness King Luke Watson of Eastern Cape.
He would have to be captain…nothing less for royalty.
Apparently he will one day be King of Bokistania….and all will be saved.
That former king Sir John Smit has been cast out and will serve his exile on a small island called Brittania. It’s where all captains go to serve time for failing to win two RWC’s. I think he will return one day enriched by his punishment.
