Semis are always dull, as are usually finals, potentially not this one as we are going to smash them
Looks like my rugby love affair couldn't last. Two dull semis.
If you thought that game last night was dull you will never be able to appreciate good rugby so you might as well not try.

Yeah I just realised this earlier today, surprised the media haven't jumped on it.
Anyone else noticed that we have the same semifinalists as in 87 - NZ, Aus, France, Wales. NZ vs France final at Eden park?
Just to continue this theme, here's a clip of Huw Richards getting sent off for Wales in the 1987 semi final.

Does Dan Carter get a winners medal? I want to annoy his fan club by saying Donald is a world cup winning #10, and Carter will never be
Yep, him, Mils, and Slade all got to go on stage and get a medal as they were a part of the squad at some point.
They cant be seriously contemplating having Donald even on the bench.They have to be taking the @#!*% .
Donald and Gear called into team. Be funny if Cruden got injured!
The fact Colin Bourke didn't get a Super Rugby contract is a travesty. I thought he had a sublime ITM Cup. Really surprised no team has picked him up.
When asked if they had another player in mind if SBW didn't sign, Chiefs coach said yes, but that that player would now be playing club rugby. I'm thinking this may be Bourke he is talking about.
They should have a good year, they always have had talent but finally have a good coach that will use it.
Chiefs squad for next year looks very strong.
Please tell me you are not trying to suggest Alex Bradley is better than Collin Bourke? Between Bourke, Luamanu, Lilo and Ash Parker some decent loosies didn't get contracts around the country. Probably the area at the moment where we have the most depth across the board.
Seems like Bourke's going overseas. I was thinking Tokula - we already have Lee, Messam, Cane, Latimer, Waldrom, Bradley in the loose forwards, getting Bourke when no SBW would be dumb - wouldn't you get a 12/13? where we have a gaping hole?
Been tried before but flopped. To succeed, they have to change their (NZ rugby supporteers in general) attitude to chanting & singing - they just don't do it. It may have changed because of the RWC 2011, the NZ crowds were just a little less reserved back in Sept - Oct.
The thing about football fans is that they are spontaneous with their chants/singing. They even chant about anything other than football "....SEAGULL!! SEAGULL!!.... or "....RICKI THIS WAY, RICKI RICKI THIS WAY!!....YAY!!".
Good luck the Flying Squadron.

It is Ricki give us a wave!
Go on...

My rugby affair is still alive... great hurricanes backline !!!!
Feel the love.....

That sounds dull in comparison to a see-sawing game.
Take back my former comments, Cruden was good, Henry got the tactics right, protecting him and often using Dagg at first receiver, Kahui, Weepu and Nonu, took much of the pressure off him, and he played well as a running option. The Aussies also tried to target him, he did well on defence too, but also good help from others around him.
Got to love Izzy Dagg, I had a questions over why he was ahead of Mils in the pecking order. But he was ridiculously dangerous running the ball and that right peg of his can hit a ball. Can't forget Corey 'The Hurt Locker' Jane.

Should bring the 3rd/4th playoff down to Rotorua just to make sure everything about the weekend is the same!
I'm picking the All Blacks by 20 pts.

Hey Quade.
We're having a party at Eden Park on Friday night. You should come. Just leave your mates at home this time. You know.....
Kick-the-ball-out-on-the-full Quade.
Throw-sh*t-passes Quade.
Can't-catch-the-ball Quade.
And I think that's when lost-Australia-the-World-Cup Quade turned up.

oh well, and if anyone wants to watch a replay of it, Sky Sports 3 has it repeated all day .......
And there isn't even a Phoenix replay on
Probably the most biased refereeing display ever in a rugby world cup final.
Congrats to All Blacks. France played bl**dy well but came up 1 point short. You are only LEGENDS if you can defend World Cup !!
Or not....

I like Bourke, but Cane, Latimer, Waldrom, and Messam would all beat him out, Fritz Lee I dunno. And I do like Alex Bradley.

Not a single Manawatu player in the Cane's :(.
I hate Waikato, and love Wellington, but Hammet is making it harder and harder for me not to follow Cruden and Rennie to the Chiefs. Won't happen, just making it very hard.aitkenmike2011-11-03 15:47:46

No, I don't think Bradley is better, but I like him more is all. Surprsied big try-scoring Luamanu didn't get one, unstoppable close to the line
ChCh to get a temporary stadium for the Crusaders & AB's
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/5925358/New-Christchurch-stadium-announced-test-coming
With the problems AMI stadium has, I wonder if they would consider making it a permanent stadium, and turn AMI into a single purpose cricket ground.

Just read that the WelNix boys are looking into buying the Hurricanes.
Is that the soft tone of exploding heads I can hear in the distance?

Your basically paying for the privilege to market the team, with so little control I don't its worth it.

I wish them the best of luck, but I hope they stay away from Aisle 22 and don't just stall all the Phoenix chants and change the words.

Like we did with other teams chants?
SBW won his boxing fight with a first round knock out, was hoping he would get brought down a few pegs.
Some things about this fight seem a bit odd
This guy couldn't even box
He needs to fight Tua
