getting close now to kick off. bout to head to my favourite haunt, the grand. with a bunch of crew its goin to be a good day for me....... but what about the boys from oz? will we do it

Top game. Very intense the ausies really steped up in defense good to see.
All blacks next week will be another big test.

Still in one piece Chrispy

Could Quade Cooper have played a more ****ful game?? Can't belive Robbie Deans left him on for the whole match....at least he doesn't have to front Dan Carter next week....Will Genias kicking needs some work and we got smashed at the breakdown in the 2nd half....I think we may have cashed in our get out of jail card.........

^^^^^^ i agree with all of that. except we won. if we can play that badly and win,cant wait to play well and smash them kiwis. mac i barely survived... my voice is gone from yelling .. GO PUMAS and what , cant you chokers score a try

^^^^True dat^^^^

Still can't get over how crap Cooper looked...thank **** for James Horvill old school Wallabies Captian....

Dont follow rugby union at all but really want the wobblies to smash the all blacks in the final. They will be nearly impossible to beat at home.

LOL nice one TB....I'll piss myself if we beat you guys....Robbie should of got the NZ job before Graham Henry who is the biggest underachiever as a coach how he hasn't bagged a world cup is s mystery, if he fails I reckon they will take his passport of him

tb the kiwis love me mate. im the only aussie that puts up fight at the grand.... im loud there are more maoris at the grand than in auckland. im sad that all the aussie supporters sit there saying nothing in fear of a beating. i keep telling the maori boys im glad the all blacks keep winning cause its 15 kiwis not on the dole here viva le france and go the mighty aussies with aussie robbie but really the kiwis were poor mate, to not back themselves to score a try is sad. penaltys and field goals are a blight on the sport

Well I've said that about GH for a while & every body bags me for it ,so it's going to be interesting The other thing they are saying is Gatland is in line for GH's job

Dear Robbie

Congratulations on reaching your 50th Test as Coach of the Wallabies.
Can I start by saying what a choice job you've been doing since you first started working for New Zealand Rugby in 2008. It has been a long-term task, but the plan to ensure the All Blacks win the World Cup at home in 2011 is coming together perfectly.
My idea of getting you to be hired by Australian Rugby as their national coach and then sabotage the Wallabies from within, in my own modest opinion, was an absolute masterstroke.
While our plan had many doubters, I always knew in my heart that the Aussies would fall for it. After reaching 50 tests as coach on the weekend, I think its only fitting to mention what I think is your top 10 highlights of sabotage to date:

1. Losing to Ireland
2. Giving Rocky the captaincy of the country he hadn't played for in over two years, then stripping it off him right before the World Cup
3. Losing to Scotland
4. Not even getting close to winning the Bledisloe Cup back
5. Not picking a backup for Pocock in the World Cup squad
6. Never using the Wallaby bench effectively
7. Not having a back-up game plan
8. Using words like “contest, willing, collision, contact-zone, adaptation” to describe rugby
9. Losing to Samoa
10. Winning only 54% of all your games as coach of historically one of the most successful teams in Rugby

I can't believe after all this they then extended your contract for a further two years?!?!?! How they didn't work out our plan after you coached them to 10 Bledisloe cup losses in a row is full credit to you and we're all very proud of you back at home bro.
Well done once again and as planned we'll see you at Ritchie's after the World Cup to celebrate pulling the wool over the Aussies' eyes.

Cheers
Graham Henry

Graham Henry who is the biggest underachiever as a coach how he hasn't bagged a world cup is s mystery

Tough call and perhaps a very misguided one. He lost one game in the previous world cup (20-18 and after some very bad referring in the second half) - the same as yr Robbie. I think if you check Henry's record you will find it as good as anyone's if not the best ever of someone who has been in control for such a long time. Over the last 8 yrs since he has been in charge the ABs have been amazing. He has won everything except the world cup multiple times. He has been the IRB International coach of the year in 4 of the last 6 years. He has made watching rugby entertaining and enjoyable. Can you not recall the Eddie Jones yrs or the Clive Woodward yrs? Can you recall the last time you had the Bledisloe? Then have a think why. If he is an under-achiever in yr eyes then that makes you are a very hard marker.

love your passion mate. and your letter from gh was gold. so how long did it take the ab to score a try against the pumas?. no confidence in themselves, so we will go for a penalty,very very sad effort against a minnow. you should start paddling back with greazy across the beautiful ocean home. only question will be is will you choke on the paddle home before the all blacks choke in the world cup..again. in saying that im a dragons die hard,and eat criticism for breakfast...game on

You are a true Kiwi Ted theres no dout about it , sorry I don't have the passion for the great game . It's great to see the feelings and passion come out , it makes it special to be a Aussi/ Kiwi . May be we should rename you Ted the MagPie. Btw the TAB has hardly had any money on win for the ABs it's all on the Wallabes Don't know what that means?

Cheers TB. I am just not a fan of people sticking it to others without considering the facts. Its unfair.

Re the TAB - there is no value in backing the AB's TB and also it makes a nice emotional hedge.....I put $200 on the Aussies to win the WRC at $7. I need some compensation if they win - as I live here and will get grief for the next few yrs by people every time I stick my head out the door!! The amount of emails I have received in the last 24hrs asking me how nervous I am and how it must feel to be a kiwi choker is unbelievable. And most of those are from people who only watch rugby when the world cup is on. Ahhhhhhh Anyway not complaining. The sun is up, wind is offshore and we have a couple feet of goodness washing over the banks........I am out there.

Pffft......Bledisloes, Tri nations and European Grandslams are a side show...World Cup is where its at. For 8 years he has a had an unbeliveable amount of talent at his dispolsal and failed to achieve the ulitmate prize thats what makes him an under achiever. With the players NZ have got they should have 3 world cups in the cupboard not 1 from 1987......

Aw yeah i got that email at work Ted.
Backing kiwis by 7 home ground will make then hard to beat.
