2007 World Cup.

[lockyno1]

No actually Timbo but some players are just past it. Gregan is one, and Coordingly is a must if we are a chance to win a world cup. The fly half position is very open and Barnes is just one option. I am not sold on Rogers being a test no10. Larkham and Gregan are past it. The service from Gregan is getting slower by the day!

 

[Sanchez]

barnes is nowhere near international standard

Larkham Giteau Rogers that lachlan something guy that plays for the force would all be above him

 

[NK Arsenal]

1. NZ
2. Australia
3. France
4. South Africa
5. Fiji
6. Argentina
7. Ireland
8. England

Not true, there's a repecharge so the third placed teams from a couple of pools will end up qualifying for the QFs.

No have a look at the draw,

http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/EN/Home/RWC+Finals+Matches/

40 30/09/2007 South Africa Americas 3 A Montpellier
41 06/10/2007 W Pool B RU Pool A QF1 Marseille
42 06/10/2007 W Pool C RU Pool D QF2 Cardiff
43 07/10/2007 W Pool A RU Pool B QF3 Marseille
44 07/10/2007 W Pool D RU Pool C QF4 St Denis
45 13/10/2007 W QF1 W QF2 SF1 St Denis
46 14/10/2007 W QF3 W QF4 SF2 St Denis
47 19/10/2007 3rd/4th Paris
48 20/10/2007 Final St Denis

So no 3rd place teams make the quarters, the 4 pool winners and 4 runners up make it. Its the same as 2003. In 1999 they had 5 pools and the best third place team made the playoffs for the quarter finals with the 5 runners up, the 3 winners of those playoffs went through with the 5 pool winner to the quarters. Perhaps your getting confused with 1999.

Also a few people have France, Argentina and ireland all making the QFs, its not possible.

Skeepe if there was any more evidence that you come from the nuthouse then here it is! Fiji and Scotland and England who are in horrible form ahead of NZ who have lost one match this entire year! FMD!

yeah two games lost in the last two years

 

[ozbash]

New Zealand will not have the benefit of buying referees at the forthcoming World Cup, and will be exposed for the talentless hacks that they are. They will be lucky to make 8th.

King George and his boys will bring back Bill once again, and glory will be ours.

:shock: :shock: not nice skeepe.

 

[aphelion]

1. France (will be too strong at home and will have the refs on their side)
2. NZ (will choke again)
3. Wales
4. England
5. SA
6. Oz

 

[shiznit]

you would be have to be mentaly retarted to pick the all blacks to finnish out of the top 4.

im not too sure about aussies to be honest. skeep can have his george gregan wet dreams all he likes but the wobblies are due to face either South Africa or England in the 1/4's. whom they havent beaten away from home since 2004. and... who both have very strong scrums which is aussies weakness.

NZ
FRA
ENG
SA

but aussie could easily get in that top 4. its gonna be bloody good....

 

[bayrep]

Only one person has rated Argentina including myself. I would have to rate them higher than some of the teams suggested.

SA
Arg
Scotland
Sam
Ita
Fij


OK maybe looking at what teams are there it looks like it will be pretty tight on who finishes where.

 

[lockyno1]

yeah two games lost in the last two years

Yet in skeepe's world they will come 8th....:lol:

 

[skeepe]

Yet in skeepe's world they will come 8th....:lol:

You heard it here first ;-)

 

[douglasallen91]

even if we got knocked out in the quarters we would be the best to get knocked out and theirfore be fifth ranked

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I used to think Skeepe was deluded but I've now realised that nobody could be that daft and he's actually been trolling us... nice work Skeepe.

 

[aqua_duck]

King George and his princes, Prince Stephen of Larkham, the best fly half in the world, and Prince George Smith, the best flanker in the world, will once again prove all the doubters wrong as he holds the William Webb Ellis cup above his head in Paris at 2007.

Never heard of Carter and McCaw I assume?

its about wc 2011 but had no where else to put it

He has heard nothing to that extent and is not sure of the background behind the comments. John Alexander says they are continuing with their planned upgrade and the resource consent process.

Whats the point? Everyone should just forfeit and hand the cup to the All Blacks. The NZ press have already.
