REP MATCH (2004): AUSTRALIA vs REST OF THE WORLD

[skeepe]

Congratulations to both teams, it was truly an honour to watch such a hard-fought, tough match from the subs bench. Chin up Australia, we'll get them in the Tri-Nations!

Good tough match. Thanks Aussies, you pushed us right from the opening whistle, right through to the final siren. Thanks Antonius, the cheque's in the mail... but seriously, I'm glad you appreciated my article... no complaints about the reffing from this end. And a big thanks to my wife, who unknowingly inspired the article when she bought me my first Eels guernsey for my birthday this year... I wore it to work proudly even though Parra was on the end of a bad losing streak.

Captains Knock:

Great match lads and ladettes. It took the entire world to knock off the world champions, but we got the job done. Many thanks to Willow and his Kangaroos for a great match. Special congradulations is reserved for eels2win on the man of the match effort. Cheers antonius. It has been a pleasure.

Great game everyone, sorry ROW team mates for that knock on in our 20 just at the end of the game, sorta put a lot of pressure on us we didn't need, still we had just enough defence to hold them out (no repeat of Australia V NZ - 99 Tri-Series final here).

I look forward to the Tri-Nations

Thanks for marking the match Antonius, you refs never quite get the credit you deserve for the effort you put in.

Cheers Yakstorm. It's pretty enjoyable actually, as you would know (you used to ref I think) You read some funny stuff, some interesting stuff, and generally it's all good.
