Davo 1 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 "It's better to burn out than to fade away!" Anyways Wales ended up giving the AllBlacks a more than adequate run for their money-you must be well pleased with their perfomance Mr Matthews. Didn't actually see the game but reading the live score details makes me wish I did. Wales have done them a favor in the process as they needed a real challange. Link to post Share on other sites

sweetaz 0 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 well...being canadian and all i don't really follow rugby...however, i thought i would have a look at the All Blacks vs Canada...you know cheer on the canadian team...moral support n'all. To my shock horror....i discovered my home team all look like bloody accountants!!! (apologies to all accountants out there - but accountants have no business playing prof rugby..just as rugby players have no business being accountants) ...how very very embarrassing One saving grace...they did better than tonga against the AB's Link to post Share on other sites
NutteyCubey 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 So. What do accountants look like then, in your opinion?? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 thats the old school elitism of Rugby Union. It used to be quite common to find national players that where educated as doctors, lawyers, accountants, dentists. Very few plumbers and mechanics in the Rugby Union flock. It is the same in Sydney today. Just about every Rugby Union player I knew was a banker from one of the better schools in town (and usually had the tosser attitude to go along with it). I actually worked with the Wallabies team manager a few years ago when I was myself (oh my god what did I do!) in stockbroking. Just to be on the safe side, he wasn't a tosser at all.

Stefan 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Yes I was rather pleased with the Welsh boys! But I would've liked a win (though we were expecting a whooping). New Zealand on that performance ain't gonna win nuffink! Sorry guys, maybe Wales can knock the English out for you! Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Go Aussie Go! Not a good first half for us (Sailer made so many simple mistakes!) but a better second. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 The Wallabies are gonna have to really up their game if they're to stand a chance against NZ... Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 I agree-had to love that last minute try and conversion from Scotland. The Aussies must have been worried at half time. Great game from the Allblacks Carlos Spencer was awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Oh yeah, Wallabies certainlt need to up their game. They just aren't playing 100% at the moment. She'll be right though!! Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Half time between France and Ireland. All France. They have been a pretty solid team of late. It wouldn't suprise me if they make it to the finals. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Wales put up a pretty good effort against England! Especially in the first half. I beat that gave England a bit of a scare. England v France should be a good one! Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Definitely, even I watched it. In the end. And it was quite exciting too (even though I don't 100% understand the rules ) Link to post Share on other sites
