(inside joke the Kiwi's should get )

As for Taranaki, who would be scared of a hunk of rock with some snow on top?

Lomu is a 'nearly man'.He almost made it,but he's had his time.He didn't make the squad for our World Cup conquest this year.Watch out for Umunga and Nonu.

And BTW,I am the same height and weight as Lomu.














It's just .........distributed differently.

I haven't seen Nonu play but I am familiar with Umunga.....he's a great player to watch.

Yeah, but can you use Michael Catz as a doormat like he did?
I think all his weight was between the ears.....solid wood


Unfortunately Americans don't appreciate rugby like us Southern Hemisphere folk, so I don't get to see too of it much over here.

Hopefully the World Cup will be somewhere on Cable though.....

Nonu plays centre for the Hurricanes,partners well with Umunga.Will be an interesting competition.You guys should be able to get coverage,the Americans qualified this year.

As far as I can see it, once again the rugby world cup wil be going to one of the 3 southern hemisphere teams, us Aussie's the Kiwi's or South Africans.

I agree with Naki, "Fine by me"

I just hope the Amabokkebokke can do something more than they did the last world cup (happily remembers 1995 )

I expect to see a good final but of the Southern Hemisphere teams if I had to bet on any being in the final, right now it would be the All Blacks and Australia.

Not possible- if the two teams do meet it'll be in the Semi finals.


I pick the French vs The All Blacks for the final

You're right, I was just looking at the pools and they don't allow for them meeting in the final.

France seems to have a pretty easy group though....

Do you think they're working the pools so they are Northern Hemisphere vs. Southern Hemisphere in the later rounds?
Just throwing out a conspiracy theory.

[Graphik Styles]

dont know too much about the finals and stuff.....i played it in school and this season we came 2nd out of our area.......and in the beginning they showed us this video of the New Zealand All Blacks against some other team in the finals and it was a amazing game..........it was some finals.........and they scored 3 tri's in like the first few minutes.........and i remember the cheer of the all blacks..........heres a picture of it....



(ps. once again im sorry taranaki didnt mean anything by it)

[taranaki]

You are refering to the Haka,an traditional Maori war challenge.Each tribe has its own haka,but the one used by the All Blacks is traditionally this one.

Download it,Crank up the volume and enjoy!



we need a haka smiley.

[slave]

We've got freeze frame haka smileys!! :o : Then of course, the smiley which shows what the Aussie's will do to them in the match!!!:monkeypis: Hooray!!! But its a bummer when teams like ours cant make the finals together. If we dont win it, I want it to go to NZ.

Its not a cheer, its a war dance

Hmmm it should be interesting, unless bloody Suzie turns up in Oz.

Wouldnt surprise me, us and the Aussies have most of the South African population nowadays!
