God's Own Rugby Team...

[MagicKiwi]

Hi all,

Firstly - sorry I haven't been in to report but we got back last week and I was back at work on Thursday and the shit had hit the fan. So I've had the pedal to the metal since.

Secondly - mags, great calls for both games. Obviously two completely different ones but the intensity of both was wonderful!

Thirdly - gdb, we should've swapped tickets. Mr MK and I went to the Auckland game in 2005 and the men in black won that one (obviously) as well.

Well different emotions in different weeks. Himself and I in Sydney - me sad, him happy. Himself and I in lounge room last weekend - me very quietly ECSTATIC and him yelling at the TV.

Bring on the Sarth Effrican games!

Richie McCaw is a superstar.

Waving at JAS.

Welcome back MK...looked for ya in the crowd after Thiele was a superstar and found a site for me to watch

Don't ya just hate having to be 'quietly' ecstatic...guys can be so touchy about losing

Am I right in thinking we now have to wait until about the 16th for the next game??? No trouble choosing who to barrack for against the Boks

Regards
JAS

Gee, Toss a coin for the game tomorrow. I wont be putting any of my hard earned on it

[godoubleblues]

should be a big game tonite between the Boks and the ABs
as Brod has said, could go either way
no changes to the run on side for the ABs from the team that flogged us
and the Boks are playing for Percy Montgomerys 100th test

maybe slightly in the Boks favour with home ground advantage

About 15 minutes into the 2nd half and no change to the score

At least a dodgy online feed is making the game a bit more exciting...jumping from slow motion to fast motion with a voice over by satan

ABs too strong, Richie McCaw man of the match
good effort by the ABs in South Africa and to keep the Boks scoreless

[MagicKiwi]

Scoreless Springbox - what a wonderful thing (thang). I still can't quite believe it and we think we might watch the replay as himself and I were a few pints (or glasses of wine in my case) past the breeze, having to go to a party beforehand. But true to our commitment, we were home in time. I'll say it again, Richie McCaw - superstar.

Cheers JAS!

On the downside, Roosters just lost
It was cold down at the Bay.

big game for the Wallabies tonite
we havent won in South Africa since 2000, Mortlock is the only survivor from that win
Boks weakened by the loss of Habana and they will be hurting after being pantsed last week

go the Wallabies
