On Sunday, 'Mr Excitement' Conor is against the boringest boxer I have seen, 'Fairyfloss Floyd'.

I am going for Conor.

By the sounds of it the odds will be good. Conors struggling to make weight, and the Wallabies suck big time.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Aye well. it was an excellent game.. I thought the Wallabies really showed great defensive skills, for once. They held their line.. there were certainly some great plays by both sides, for once.
They also showed real commitment in scoring their tries. Major improvement.

Shame about the failed conversions... wonder why Foley kept hitting the posts, and why they didn't give someone else a go.?

Nope.. The mighty All Blacks were just a class above. Those last three minutes of play .. WOW.

Best game I've actually watched for yonks.
No shame to the Wallabies.
They fought a mighty battle and were brave in defeat..

I am going for The Wallabies.

I saw better rugby last Saturday night when the Wallabies scored a magnificent try early in 2nd half against South Africa.

If the Wallabies play like that they'll beat the All Blacks.
However - the All Blacks always seem to pull something out of the bag -
did you see Beauden Barrett's match winning try?
He's the fastest man in Rugby in the whole world.
