quote of the week: byron kellaher to the queen: "There's always a cup of tea for you at my house,". i guess his porn star girlfriend is not keeping satisfied.

 

[Scott]

Carl Hayman v Andy Sheridan is going to be a heck of a battle.

 

[aussies1st]

Looking as strong as ever, England are in for a thrashing.

 

[bayrep]

Especially as England have reverted back to their 10 man rugby again. The AB's will match them up front and then kill them in the backs.

 

[bayrep]

Even Aus had it all over the English backs. If Aus had there tight 5 on song (and a decent half back) the England would have lost.

I take it Oliver's out injured? Thats as close to the strongest 15 the ABs could field I reckon.

So Howlett and Siti are the 1st choice wingers then I guess in the all black pecking order. Rokocoko ain't too bad a back up I guess.

is there any live video feed of this game on the net

 

[aussies1st]

NZ still on track for the Grand Slam. They should have it given they play Scotland. They beat England in a close one 23-19 although the ref seemed bias towards England.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

NZ were a man down for the last 23 minutes due to Woodcock, Tialata and Masoe getting yellow carded but England still couldn't cross the line. A mighty effort by the ABs, particularly the tight 5.

 

[Jackal Dog]

Man England blew it, the AB's were down to 13 men in front of their posts near the end of the game and they took a shot at goal!!! not much has changed since Sir Clive's days, And they got nothing in the backs.

 

[ozbash]

awesome defence. how good is jerry collins ?

 

[Te Kaha]

Dear i say the best blindside in the world.. despite what Stephen Jones and some Aussies think.

 

[aussies1st]

Who do the Aussies think is the best? It clearly wouldn't be one from their own team.

I think it would be between Collins, Burger and Betsen, although you can't really count Burger as he really plays openside despite having the #6 on his back, the South Africans swap the #6 and #7 positions around.

 

[aussies1st]

Of that lot is has to be Collins. Although Burger was top last year, hes gone down a bit this year though.

 

[Scott]

Jerry Collins is the best 6 in the game. No doubt about it. He is a rock.

 

[ThrashViking]

Collins & Burger play two totally different styles, both are fantastic quality players.
So much for the great Andy Sheridan, Hayman outplayed him & Sheridan was subbed off.
Infact, I believe Hayman will go down as NZ's greatest ever prop.
He's a freak & still has a good 6-7 years in him.
