Tri Nations 2005

[Smudge]

Sivi didn't see out the Waikato match and limped as he went over for a try.

Will be in Auckland this weekend for the match.

Friday night at "Sub-20(?)" bar for a few ice-cold shots.

Watch our team get thrashed by the Kiwis on Saturday.

Sailing on the harbour Sunday

Back to God's Own country with a bag full of duty-free 42-below Monday

My idea of a top weekend.

Bit of a masochist, are ya?

Having suffered the indignity of being at the ground when Aus lost its hold on the WC to an English team captained by a fwarkin Kiwi, Saturday will be a stroll in the park.

Besides, having nothing else on which to hang our hat, Aussies prefer to rate nations' rugby purely on the no. of WCs won

 

[shaka]

so Howlett is in for Gear, good combo is reunited (hence the Auckland combo). MacDonald has a slight hip flexor injury not sure how it will affect his game.

Don't worry, guys, I had a quick word with Graeme Henry when I was staying at The Heritage for the last few days. Gave him a bit of advice

 

[JASON]

Am worried as the rugby game is about to kick off for my favourite Rugby player of several years - George Gregan !!

I will be sad to see the guy finish his Test career in such a disapponting way after having given so much to the Wallabies !! He deserves a better finish .

But all good things come to an end.

And I will be sad to not see George in a Wallabies jumper again, if it turns out that way after today's Test !! (particularly if the ABs smash the wallabies as expected )

The knives have long been out for George and it seems almost an inevitability after today's Test !!

Farewell George !!

Can you say 'comeback'?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Much better start to the 2nd for the Wallabies, great effort from Tuqiri although MacDonald's kick was a bit telegraphed.

Is that a choking sound I hear.....?

 

[Burpey]

Wow ... could we possibly win? At 20-0 I had given it up, but the Aussies are actually playing some rugby for the first time this year

 

[BoyBrumby]

Pretty cynical stuff from Dunning there! A harsher ref would've given him ten for that. Daft too, 'cos the pen relieves the pressure on the ABs a bit.

 

[Burpey]

Well done ABs. Thoroughly deserve the title of Tri-Nations champions. I think the Aussies put up a good fight though, their best performance of the season so far.

 

[Blaze]

Is that a choking sound I hear.....?

No thats saved for world cup year

 

[shaka]

Australia had a much better 2nd half, SA must have been supporting Australia for the first time ever, but I am glad NZ remained unbeaten against Australia.

No choking over here - but plenty of post-apocalyptic crashing and burning coming from England...

~sigh~

Enjoyable game to watch.

Liked Rogers, liked Gerrard, Drew struggled for the first time....George...one of his better games, but please, get him out of there.

And I really wanted to see the new haka!!! I missed the first 5 mins of the NZ & SA game where they did it, so I really wanted to see it.

They have said they will only do it on special occasions.

Good win, I thought McAlister was superb.

Thought NZ's first try had a knock-on by McDonald that wasn't picked up by the referee so good that the margin was more than just one try.

Don't think Matt Dunning endeared himself to New Zealanders last night.

Course he did - he gave us 9 points.
