NNNNnaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Donald.
Aussie aren't going to flog New Zealand.

France are !
France play hot and cold, in their home town, much harder. They've had their off game.
When they are on key, unpredictable, unsettling, can beat any team.

Aussie are shallow, brittle, predictable, soft and old. Apart from that though they're fine. Wink

Long as the springboks lose, I'm happy

Lets pick our team to give the upset of the comp ??

Good example is how they treated their black people. Seems every sports fan loves to hate south africa. Doesn't matter what team they follow, long as SA loses, the world is fine

I was on a plane flight once with the SA rugby union team. I was in the last row of my section with an emergency exit behind my. I had the three seats on one side to myself. In the front row of the next section were three of the players. It was pretty funny how they had been crammed into cattle class. They could barely fit and had their elbows in each other's armpits. One of them asked to swap seats with me, but I declined the offer.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

'Arrogant and unsporting.' In what way? (I can't see how that relates to the black people in South Africa. In my opinion, so-called 'racism' in South Africa goes both ways)

I don't really hate South Africa in anything... in fact... I kinda like them... after all... they handed Australia two world cups... in A) Cricket B) Rugby.

Aussie looked impotent. watching nz vs portugal. Only kiwi playing is Joe Roccothoco , he's got two tries. portugal show good spirit. can see their spainish origins. All Blacks should get a world record, does not look like they will .

Well done portugal . they've done very well.

They THRASHED the kiwis in the singing of the national anthem !
Did a surprise kick off.
Their goal was apparently to score some points on their countries first ever game against the All Blacks.
They did it, got a drop goal. Great coaching.

They've played in a spirit that they can be well proud of.
Congratulations Portugal.
