Fijians players crying during the anthem, so much passion

Big hits, tough contest, video refs that compliment the game not ruin it, a genuine fair tournament not manipulated with fake rules made on the run like other comps.

This is what sport should be! Take note AFL, FIFA, ICC


Last time I watched international RU it was riddled with penalties. The score was something like 27-21 and I think there was only one try scored. Has this changed?


Yeah super rugby introduced the bonus point system for scoring tries which saw that comp really open up, that has fed through to international rugby.

In saying that the beauty to rugby is watching different styles and how the game evolves a bit like a good boxing fight.

The old Johnny Wilkinson English team wouldn’t survive in this day and age with the athleticism of the modern day forwards.

Disneyland Paris is awesome!
And their WiFi here is awesome as I can browse the net to entertain myself while waiting in line for rides.

It is pretty cool. Most of the lines for rides were far too big when we were there at it was 38 degrees so we just wandered around and stayed for the closing performance

We were last in Paris during August last year and the predicted top on the TV was 35 degrees but there was a temperature gauge at the metro station was showing 38 when we got to Disneyland. Was hot for the 4 days we were there. Got to 40 in Paris this year in August. On previous occasions we had been around May/June and it was low 30’s.
The lineups were all over an hour wait minimum but we were there in European school holidays which finish end of August

That's ridiculous weather, wouldn't of expected it to get that hot here.
Lines today have been about about 45/60 mins.

I waited 95 minutes for the Big Thunder Mountain ride[/quote]That was closed yesterday unfortunately. The best ride was the Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain ride, 90 min lineup gave me plenty of time to watch YouTube lol. The Twlight Zone tower and Crush Coaster were also very good and enjoyed the Buzz Lightyear, Pirates of the Caribbean and Ratatouilleride rides too. The lights, fireworks show at the end of the night was incredible, especially the lights show. My girlfriend said the fireworks part of it wasn't as good as the LA Disneyland show.

***THIS IS AN S.A,P (SPARGO APPRECIATION POST)****

A big thanks for taking some time out of your weekend to drive all the way out to Mt Barker to pick up and deliver a TV unit for me.

Muchly appreciated - I hope you enjoy the cans (the Melbourne cans - just to clarify) and I KNOW you enjoyed the GF tickets ;-)
My new Mantra - I am no longer available to things and people that make me feel like shit

I rate that a lot of the SA Footy community are going through driving lessons with our beloved teens at the moment. I'm glad I'm not the only one scared shitless :-SS

My teams creating different type history on the weekend, Flaggies winning 4 in a row as massive underdogs was unbelievable and then heading to the Oval yesterday nursing a hangover and watching a clinical Glenelg (can't remember the last time I could say that) play super team footy just topped off my footy year brilliantly.

And Sat morning my son played in his 1st premiership and kicked a goal.

Going to be hard to top that weekend, I'm not sure I ever will.

You don’t think North can help you out anytime soon then?

The help from friends over the last couple days to help me land a GF Ticket. Gone above & beyond! I should be good to go fingers crossed.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
