Any DFMrs want to come and watch the game on saturday? Kickoff is 11:35 am - I was thinking of heading to the Irish Village to watch it.
For those who aren't aware, this is the most watched game of Rugby in the world each year.

All Blacks win by 12 points!!! :wink:

Given how they looked against Ireland and Argentina, I think they'll be lucky to score 12 points.
One thing is for sure, this will definitely be more a contest than last years horrible effort by the Wobblies.

Go to Aussie legends mate, the atmo will be awesome.

yeah but those games were little more than practice ..... they had only been together as a team for 4 days before the first Ireland game. Plus the disrespecting of the Haka by the Aussie media will boil their blood and raise their determination!

Nah, this happens every year. The Haka isn't what it used to be, that's for sure.

Haka - fishing story.
Waltzing Matilda - story about a man who drowns whilst trying to steal a sheep.
Both are kind of pointless.
The Haka has no venom especially when the team is full of skinny pale metros.e.xuals from Auckland.
ajb
Not entirely sure about the fishing reference ..... and not sure how many Auckland lads are in the team at present either??

OK, skinny metroseksuals from the south. I mean seriously, its hard to be scared of the haka when the people doing it are more worried about their hairstyles and their little goaties than they are about scaring the crap out of the opponents just by staring insanely at them whilst slapping their thighs, poking their tongues out and waving their hands in the air.
ajb
And with a city like Sydney you criticise Auckland for Metro guys hahaha give me a break :lol:

Dude, in %pop stats, Auckland is the metro capital of the world. And where is the largest NZ population outside of NZ may I ask? Sydney.
Once were warriors, now a bunch of semi-queer metro boys worried about their complexion.
Note to moderators: This is part of the pre-Bledisloe ritual, for a kiwi and an aussie to wind each other up.
ajb
Yes mods nothing to moderate in this thread .... NZ and Aus are the best of mates until Bledisloe time.
Well if they are nothing more than a bunch of metro's it doesnt say much for machoism in Aussie cause we win the super 12/14 and tri nations much more than anyone else!!
And just because they fight with handbags doesnt make them any less manly!! :lol: :lol:

You mean one team Cantebury wins the Super 14 each year. I've now heard it referred to as the Super Boreteen and even the Super Abortion, because the NZRFU have so heavily stacked the Crusaders with talent its basically the All Blacks. There should be an enquiry into it... oh hang on, most of the NZRFU board are from the South Island.
Meanwhile Aus and SA are intent on developing players which means mixing the experience with the inexperienced. It doesn't make for pretty Rugby or even get results at S14 level, but it appears to be paying off at test level.
Anyway cussie bro - I gots to work.
ajb
Well Auckland won it the first 3 years I think canterbury have won it the rest except maybe one year the Brumbies took it out .... South Africa well they have never even come close.
And theres not enough talent in Aus to stack into one team to get a result! :wink:
and if its working so well for you why is NZ still ranked number one in the world??
Anyway Im off home so we will just have to wait for the game tomorrow night and one of us will be eating our words!! Good luck! :wink:

Yes its a play on an incident that happened the other month, where Tana Umaga - former All Black Captain, attacked a fellow player in a pub with... a woman's handbag.
Apparently the NZRFU is outraged over the commercial. The ARU said they have nothing to do with it but it is p!ss funny.
Liban
I think its racist to have an all black team which excludes people of other races. And to allow such a team to play professionally is shameful.
Damn Aussies :twisted:
scarlet
Liban its the NZ team that's the all-blacks
Liban
Sorry, then damn Kiwis would be more appropriate :)

They're lucky we even let them play at all.

I thougth they changed the name to "all wacks".

haha the All Blacks refers to the colour of their uniforms nothing to do with the colour of their skin .... very multicultural team (and country) in reality ...... nothing like our canary yellow uniformed rednecked Pauline Hanson loving cousins from across the Tasman :violent3:
And no one is that up in arms about the piss taking of the Haka by the Aussies .... much more controvesy is that Fiat has launched an ad campaign in Italy with Italian women doing the haka .. (little strange that one).
And Tana Umaga will unfortunately not be swinging any handbags at the Aussies this weekend as he has just signed an overseas contract for $1.4 million for 10 games.
Maad Id be more than happy when I get up there to explain the game to you ....
Good god Concord your not an Australian too are you??? Im so very outnumbered in here!!

No, but I was in NZ last June (2205) and could not understand what all the fuzz was about. As soon as we stepped off the plane its was "all blacks" everwhere!
ajb
I guess it has to do with being such a small nation but being the best in the world at something .... brings out some national pride!
^ian^
You're not the best... when did you last win the world cup?
ajb
hahaha 1987 ..... but we are still ranked No.1 in the world in the IRB standings :)

Well, where are all the Aussies now?
Looked like a real brawling match. Good result for the Kiwi's.
ajb
licking their wounds!! Great game though .... looking forward to the rematch in a couple of weeks.
Now whats the predictions for Aus V South Africa next week?
yorky500
Well, having lived in South Africa for a number of years, i will go with the Bokke! Not sure of the score though, but perhaps a winning margin of 10 points or more?

Hi there, I am kiwi who will be in Dubai this Saturady and I was wondering if somebody could tell where I have to go to watch the big game?? By my calc it will starting at 9:30 am Dubai time.
bonk
930 :shock: ? Last week's game started about lunchtime here.
Jumeirah Beach Hotel Dhow and Anchor bar had last week's game. 930 might be too early for most bars though.
