Aussies do have very good backs but lacking in the forwards, especially gainst the Orl Blicks and the Bokkies.

Good to see the Wallabies have a win.

Our forwards are no where near as bad as people think.

I'm quietly confident that we have timed our run for the World Cup perfectly.
I'm just has hopeful that the Kiwis have yet again peaked one year to early.

For the Kiwis the world cup is life and death with the All Blacks.

Another failure at the World Cup wouldnt go down well in NZ.

I'm not sure what I would get more enjoyment out of:

a) Australia winning thw World Cup
b) Kiwis World Cup choking on home soil and losing in the Semis to France

Well, of course if we win then the kiwis won't, but I was trying to explain just how much a Kiwi World Cup choke would mean to me.

Kiwi you reckon the AB's will make any changes leading into the WC next year? Any of the older blokes on shaky ground?

Can't see too many unless there are injuries. Sonny Bill may take a spot in the midfield though, he has played pretty well for Canterbury. Like all teams we are building for the WC next year and have been for the last couple. Will be the last big tournament for a few though, although Thorn will probably play until he is 40!!

Well done to the Wallabies,shaping up nicely for world cup
One-hit wonders. I gave up on them finally about two months ago. Most frustrating team of all I follow, including RFC.

They have won 2 world cups in the last 20yrs though. If we could get rid of league we'd be unbeatable.

Rebels up and running had a nice outing gainst Tonga.

Some NRL representation there with Jarryd Saffy and Cooper Vuna lining up.

Vuna will score some points for the Rebels if he gets enuff pill.

Will support them Rebels, even though i dont really follow union though i used to have a soft spot for the Reds as they were crap, oh well i'll go for both.

Super 15s will aid to extend the dominance of the Southern Hemisphere nations i reckon.

Cant wait to see the great Stirling tear it up on friday night!

GO REBELS!!
I'll be there . Really glad that my second favourite Football code behind AFL is here in melbourne . Ticket sales are pretty good I hear . Always like to see any Australian side win in Super Rugby so it will be a change having an allegiance this time around.

The Reds are the smokies for the title this year I reckon . Love the way they play .

Go the Rebels !!!!!

Geez, wish i could get along tonight. Hope there's a big crowd.

It'd be great if the Rebels could carve out a permanent presence in Melbourne.
