1) England, might be easier to beat in sthn hemisphere 2011

2) Sth Afrca. Don’t think Eng has the mongrel to beat them

3) 7-13. Eng aren’t under dogs coming into this match, but can they be strong and consistent for 80 mins of Sth Afrcan ferocity

IF ENGLAND WINS I’LL BE THE FIRST TO SAY WELL DONE. BUT MY TEAM BY 25 Sorry caps but feel like shouting. Having about 30 kiwis over for a South African Braai at 8 with Bloody Mary’s South African sparkling and hopefully great rugby.

Hang on:

How do “winning team” and “draw” go in the same question? Isn’t there extra time?

“Rugged individualists vs whiney Pommie socialists.”

lol,, couldn’t agree more Tina,,

but remember the English are the people who so formidably resisted the german onslaught all by them selves in the air and on the streets.

They’ll put up a great fight.

that English rose is a heart melter

Thank you Hinamanu. you are a gentleman and a scholer. Bit of frustrated sexual tension from Tina, though I felt. Tina, it is often overlooked that you might all be speaking Japanese if it wasn’t for we staunch badass pommies. Fact is, the disdain of other nations for the poms is like the gentle stroking of a velvet glove on our rampant pommie egos. So stroke away baby!

E-N-G-E-R-L-A-N-D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mmm velvet.

sorry.

England to win by 1 point.
1 unconverted try vs a penalty and a drop goal. A classic rugby game, not like these running competitions people seem to like these days.

Bok, as ‘n ware tweetalig all I can say is “voetsak”.
Seriously though, the crowd for our grand final is perturbingly small.
This leads into the 2011 World Cup. If the Jafas can’t turn up for the grand final, then serious steps must be taken right now for Lancaster Park (or whatever it is called this week) to host the world cup. Empty seats will do nothing for those fans who have helped their team back home in Bucharest or whatever.
John Banks is right. No money for Eden Park; pour it into Canterbury.
As an aside, if Port Adelaide officials saw such a paltry crowd at a home match against St Kilda they would be defaecating themselves.

“John Banks is right. No money for Eden Park; pour it into Canterbury.”

It should be a done deal that all main centres get a share of the games.

surely jaffa land is not taking the complete burden

utterly ridiculous. That will certainly spell disaster

how immature, unrealistic and unprofessional

Hinamanu:

I don’t want to take this thread away from DPF’s poll, but you may care to read Brian Gaynor’s fascinating write-up in today’s Granny Herald. A taster:

The Rugby World Cup failure raises many more questions than those about the performance of the All Blacks and their coaches and the conditioning and rotation policies. It raises doubts about the business judgment of the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) and its ability to host the 2011 World Cup.

Hi hin.

Pommies are so… errr….grotty.

But first things first…..

Lee must be blowing .35 or beteljuicing with a powdered kava… check out the following…

“is often overlooked that you might all be speaking Japanese if it wasn’t for we staunch badass pommies”

Lee, this is going to come as a shock…..

Please find someone to sit with you…..

The pommies incompetent defence of Singers meant they were all Jap POWs well before any of the serious battles in the Pacific. Gosh!

The Jap advance on Aust, led by their Imperial Guard, was stopped by the 39 Aust. Batt, 18 miles from Port Moresby, they were raw militia from Victoria.

Nearest pommies were Jap prisoners in Singers..

The crack 7th and 9th Divisions were on their way back from the Middle East until poor ol Winston decided they should go to Burma.
Another Pommie wanker dealt with, they proceeded to PNG and pushed the Japs back up the Kokoda track.

No Pommies yet……gosh,perhaps they’ll turn up in movies later……

The Jap attempt to avoid defeat by invading Moresby from the sea was stopped at the Battle of the Coral Sea, where US carriers and Aust navy ensured a zapping.
Gosh….still no poms.

But Lee sweetie sounds like a very attractive…errr…..what’s the polite word for a tugger, hin?

The ultimate turning point in The Pacific War was Midway, where the US did good work.

Aust, US alliance goes on ….ball-less poms have muslim immigrants to tell them what to do….

Gosh, have I said too much?

Just think yourself lucky D4J isn’t online tonight.

Tina;

Gosh, well, that told me!

I was only being flippant, it was a throw away remark made in a moment of jocularity, thrown out before I went off to catch a bit of tv.

It appears it casued quite a kerfuffle!

I apologise abjectly for the rush of blood to my head. I stand corrected. The antipodeans were solely responsible for the defeat of the japanese or if they were not, they did it with the aid of the Americans, and without the aid of the poms. So we still speak English. which is nice.

I still hope the English team win in the finals tomorrow.

By a drop-kick.

Te toi
ps you were very literate and well-informed in your rebuttal of my assertion that the English were not materially importatn in securing VE day.

Nothing about the frustrated sexual tension bit though.

I await that rebuttal with some eagerness. But i’m off to bed now.

As a married man, I am sure you appreciate I won’t be trying out the other thing that was mentioned. I’m saving myself for after the match.

Go England.
