Doesn't mean I support them against an NH team though. <br /><br />I'll put your outburst down to the unfeasible amount of stress you kiwis are under...:)Total Flankerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368624271678527333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101694739527706614.post-58472793794618988692011-10-15T17:34:28.327+01:002011-10-15T17:34:28.327+01:00Wow.

No wonder English rugby standards have fallen so dramatically behind the rest of the world, when you're still celebrating stodge in this part of the hemisphere. Celebrate the game, celebrate teams that actually try to play positive decent rugby. France were wretched today. Against 14 men, they still couldn't score a try although they are very good at football hollywoods I notice. But sure, you don't like NZ for whatever reasons, haka, jealousy etc. You probably don't like Oz either because that's typical, the English are jealous of Australia. Face it, France don't deserve to be in the final. Wales did. It's a travesty. But you want to pin your hopes now on a team that has been crap because you've got a bee in your bonnet about the SH. Fine. But wow.Ferdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407394442560602289noreply@blogger.com
