Rougheyedspud, alright nah mate the pigsh*t obviously didn't emigrate it stayed in the UK...so b4 you wet yourself heres a few facts brother, at the moment Kiwi League is on a bit of a rut, granted...but one we will eventually get out of. You on the other hand over there in Pommie land only have a comp because its been propped up for years by players from this end of the world, and considering the money considering the talent, has still when they have sent a National Team out on tour have performed poorly.
And before you go off on another little rant, about our team being disqualified or whatever, remember how many times your clubs have changed rules and not allowed kiwis playing over there to play for there country boyo! We can go into the history of that anytime you want, even name them...so maybe then the national teams of England should be disqualified as well you prat!
As for Skinner, Skinner and I dont see eye to eye about alot of things but by the look of his articles and work he puts in its obvious to most over here where his heart lies
As for Carroll, nope we aint being played by Carrols coments monkey boy, we know whats up...check what most of the postings say, sure we know he's a good player(bit long in the tooth maybe) and we have seen the damage he's done for the Ozzies...But no more likely than not he wont be in our team, and even if he was dickbrain its World Cup year and we can it seems pretty well do anything going by past years.
As for your team Spudboy here is a prediction, we've seen it all b4 spud you lot talk yourselves up then when it gets down to it, you choke! Oh and where's your coach from?
Lets see how your much vaunted team does against a fully fit, fully motivated, frontline team of Kiwis...Oh of course you could send that headcase of a prop out to neck a few kiwis, seems to be his style. But I think he'll have his hands full with the young bulls on the field... Skinners right your a wanker....Full of piss and wind, just run it straight!
But as you say, "Roll on the World Cup" We and the Ozzie's will send your team home with there balls in a sling and god help you when and if you run into Samoa...So lap the next few months up, as second best team Spuddy, lap it up a lot can change from one season to another.
Excelsior!
