[The Colonel]

And fifth in the womens sculls. They are getting closer..... ;-)

 

[weasel]

lol. Nibbs will get his medal eventually. I saw we won gold.

 

[half]

[weasel]

NZ have won a gold. Nibbs shed actual tears, or so he claims. Now they just need eight more and 13 minor medals to catch us.

 

[half]

wow! only 2 more gold required to catch thorpey!

 

[nibbs]

i told you it would happen. nz rock, 22 times more than australia, so that more than makes up the medals you're ahead of us...

Well tell me if New Zealand is so fantastic, why do New Zealanders abandon the country like drowning rats the first chance they get? :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's a joke. No a disgrace.

If our country is so uninviting, why is such a large % of our population made up of relatively recent immigrants?

And I assume that every year, when you get 100,000 or 80,000 or whatever the capacity is for a Bledisloe cup test, it's because

a) Aussies don't care about rugby union

and

b) Aussies don't care about beating New Zealand

And I also suppose it explains why this is pretty much the biggest thread at this forum.

Only 8 thousand of those tickets are actually purchased, the rest are given away to 'corporate sponsors'

Estonia is a pretty huge country, famous for many things such as the strongest drink in the world.

You are either an idiot if you believe that or a liar. Most of the tickets are allocated to the various clubs who then on SELL them to their members. a SMALL proportion are kept by the ARU to give to sponsors and ex players and a chunk go to overseas travel agencies. The 8,000 tickets are for non club affiliated general public.

Damn, for a country of 37 million, that's pretty crap!

 

[douglasallen91]

u would think that aussie would want to compare themselves with another country. but if they want to feel big as a continent and beat a island let them feel special

We're more concerned with beating the Poms, but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be too many on this site....

Seriously, congrats to NZ for two golds - have already bettered their Sydney total....

Will there be any more??

That's the truth for me. There aren't any Poms to nail on this site, so I'm just going for the next best thing.
