@poppa69(poppa69)-47:
BH changes his mind as much as his nappies get changed.
Wasnt if BH saying that ranking and winning means nothing and its all about the RWC?
Didnt he say also that the RWC is where you face the best teams, where the opposition put the best team on the park?
Funny how we won the RWC with a #10 that was actually away fishing for whitebait before the game.
Not even our best team won the RWC.
BH says alot but he actually misses the full truth.
NZ was the biggest supplier of coaches and players in the RWC.
Yet its us that poach?

Well done Brycie, truly deserved… got the japies good and proper, Dad must be so proud…

Kaino, awesome and totally deserved, has really matured as a player..

got to laugh at Biggles, one only need look over his rugby and cricket teams to see his hypocrisy…

it is funny though, now our team is more successful then his at WC’s he has absolutely nothing to cling to… hilarious stuff..

@Qrest(Qrest)-31: "while success is shear brilliance" - a deliberate pun, or just a woolly headed response?

Well done Jerome, Ted , Wyatt and most specially Bryce.

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-39:
The awards are a crock of S_hit.

They are simply gongs to recognise what the highest achievement was according to outfit presenting them.

Lets change the scenario.

Christchuch did not have an eathquake, The Crusders were able to play all games at home, and won the S15.

The AB’s were beaten in the final of RWC by France

Guess who would have been the team of the year?

@Sasuke(Sasuke)-37: In your world maybe. Bryce Lawrence is a top ref, as proven by him being awarded the gong for top ref.

Kaino should have also been IRB Player of the Year

Just desserts with NZ player of the year

Less said abt Bryce the better

Here is a ref that gets pulled from the rest of the WC because of his woeful performance in not one, but two crucial games. The IRB deem his performance to be so poor that they punish him by leaving him out of the 6 Nations too. And you one eyed Kiwis want us to believe that the fault lies with us? Fckoff, ek sê.

Why don’t you Kiwi’s stop bitching and comment on the revolution happening in your rugby as set by the foreward thinking Melbourne Rebels?

@Big Hit(Big Hit)-11: lol , hope your not trying put the slight boot in over poaching? How many foreigners now play in your leagues over there? I have noticed and its becoming more and more the poached players that play in the England side. But you are right, we are very proud of our Kiwi boy. Been here since the age of 4.

@rangerman(rangerman)-23: Does not matter what happened in the QF. What matters is who won the final. As explained to me in 2007 on here, no one remembers a bad reffed game at the RWC during a QF match. All they remember is who is the world champs. And thanks i am having a nice day, how about you?

@Qrest(Qrest)-31: Don't cloud the issue with a volley of mostly irrelevant facts. Many respected and independent rugby persons with no barrow to push for South Africa found Bryce Lawrence's display in the QF inept. I say again, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed is king - and that applies as much to Bryce Lawrence as it does to you, Qrest.

ah honest Bryce. When honest Stu Dickinson retired, I guess the gap had to be filled.

On Kaino – awesome player – I especially loved his un-refereeed off his feet play and pathetic throw forward in the 75th minute of the final

One good thing about the AB’s winning this rigged cup is:
At least we probably won’t have to endure an asinine, ultimately un-enforced rule change to sustain the ‘superior style’ of the All Black Show

Bryce had a fine year barely had a poor game and was very fair in the QF. Bokke would do themselves a favour in looking inward for reasons they failed. Clown coaches, fatboy hasbeen captains, aging relics in the tight five, overweight unfit fullbacks called in late from cheeseeating holidays in southern France, tactics from the 50s.

In 95 bokke was beaten fair and square in the SF only to be gifted a home final appearance by a referee who couldn’t keep up with plan and refused to award the frogs a rightful last minute winning try. In 99 they were awful. In 03 they were ejected in the QF again in turmoil. In 07 they won by beating England twice, Fiji and Argentina – wow.

Failure has always been someone else’s fault, while success is shear brilliance and not luck. What a joke.

@Great White Shark(Predawn)-6: King Carlos definitely a man of the world, still remember him when he played for Waihou College a little hick school in the 1990 National secondary 7s Final against Jonah and Wesley College.He was a true entertainer with all the skills destined for big things. Thankfully he seems to be doing well and is appreciated in SA .
