Real Rugby

Hermes23 · 13-03-2009, 09:36 PM

I'm bored, so what about if we talk about real life tournaments in the year?
1. Six Nations
We all know Johnson sucks and I don't think England could get any worse (

). I don't know how Kidney can be doing so well playing three games with the same team, but good for them

(

). I feel really bad about Mallet

, I don't think he's doing a bad work but the Italian Federation is doing all wrong with its rugby. Scotland...

Well, I know nothing about Scotland, but they improved their loose game(OH, MY GOD). I think Wales is doing really good too but Powell sucks (why did they had to loose Grand Slam?

). And France... what can I say about France? Lievremont is doing a great job really, but he has to get used to the players he has. I'd say Grand Slam or at least the title next year (The last coach (Laport, Laporte, whatever) sucked

)
PS: Please, go to rugbydump and see one of the latest videos: "A day in the life of Paul O'Connell" specially the first one.

lol, Super 14 is better though, my cousin plays for the Brumbies in the Super 14. I live in Sydney and I went down to Canberra to watch the Brumbies play the Waratahs, it was an awesome match, and after we go to the coporate lounge for members and all the players come aswell. Most of them know me now because I go to most of the Brumbies home games.

Is this still valid. 29-0 at half time to england. Wales were awful yesterday but i think we can still win it. Just beat ireland by 13 or more and we win the triple crown and the 6n crown.

Hermes23 · 15-03-2009, 07:38 PM

Well... I think England OWNED ME

... I apologise to Martin Johnson

, who has finally won a really tough match.
I think the key to the win was an early try and an easy pen to put England in a very weird lead. The thing in common between them and France is that they can't work things out if they start loosing by a big difference.
In the Italy-Wales match (I think) Parisse had his best 2009-6 nations performance, and a well deserved man-of-the-match. The media likes to magnify his actions and I have to say that's deserved aswell. Wales had a hard afternoon. They didn't play well and this could have been a first Italian victory. In my opinion Gatland should have put more of the starting players earlier in the match.
In the Scotland-Ireland match... THEY ALMOST GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Wallace was there to tell them

Finally I have to say it's going to some hell of a final

PS: I don't care about the grammar errors, just tell me, did I sound like something official

weeks543 · 15-03-2009, 09:55 PM

lol Ireland will win

Hermes23 · 16-03-2009, 01:21 AM

Hope not, please, BOD, Tommy Bowe (no, not that one, he's in the Ospreys) and Ronan O'Gara, get badly hurt before next Saturday

. If anything happens

weeks543 · 16-03-2009, 10:45 AM

go IRELAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hermes23 · 16-03-2009, 07:09 PM

Why do you like Ireland? You're Australian, right?

ddxforce · 16-03-2009, 11:49 PM

Gatland is a genius to give ireland nothing. Declan Kidney will be proved the wrong guy when ireland lose to wales by about 20 points. Wales will easily win, They are the stand out team in the northern hemisphere but we just don't have any strength in depth. Ireland arent anything special.

sumtuodomino · 17-03-2009, 07:43 AM

i'd rather tlk about the super 14 ... i'm sure the top 6 teams could beat ALL the 6 nations teams

sumtuodomino · 17-03-2009, 07:43 AM

btw .... GO WALES

weeks543 · 17-03-2009, 10:40 AM

go IRELAND!!

Easy... I want that too but just be cool.

PS: Don't you think is stupid that Wales needs a "point-title". Beating Ireland by just one point should be enough

ddxforce · 17-03-2009, 11:05 PM

mathematically, wales need a 13 point victory to retain the chapionship and just a 1 point win to retain the triple crown. Ireland will not be able to cope with the expectation and the pressure inside the millenium stadium, "the best rugby arena in the world" (graham henry)
Not a single team has attacked ireland this year, wales will and we'll prove that declan kidneys appointment was a mistake...Wales by 20/30 points.

Deanology · 18-03-2009, 02:32 AM

I agree with you there..
Millenium Stadiums amazing, and has a brilliant atmosphere.

weeks543 · 18-03-2009, 11:43 AM

nothing beats millenium, it looks so awesome when the roofs closed

ddxforce · 18-03-2009, 06:47 PM

it surprises me that you say that. All the English people say that all the stadiums in new zealand are the best. I think that the millenium stadium is the best stadium although it is only 74 500 it has a better atmosphere than twickenham which can hold 80 000.

weeks543 · 19-03-2009, 05:11 AM

Yeh i know aye. I don't really like the New Zealand stadiums there not very big and don't have very good atmosphere. If anything can compete with Millenium it would be a full house at Stade De France, that was awesome in the world cup when all the french were singing the national anthem but definitley not as well as the Welsh sing there's at Millenium.

Hermes23 · 19-03-2009, 11:42 PM

I like more the Marselleise

ddxforce · 20-03-2009, 11:28 PM

the welsh national anthem is always sung passionately and is better than any others on that scale. I can think of others which are better musically but the way the welsh one is sung it is in it's own class.

Hermes23 · 21-03-2009, 12:37 AM

... anyway, I like more the Marselleise

Deanology · 21-03-2009, 12:54 AM

The NZ stadium atmosphere depends on who is playing.
If you go for an AB's game then it should be brilliant.. When it comes to Super14 or the AirNZ Cup games it isn't near as good.

Some of our stadiums are going through a mass upgrade. Due to the World Cup in 2011.

Hermes23 · 21-03-2009, 01:17 AM

I wonder why the IRB chose NZ for the 2011 world cup. I think the US and Canada would be a good place too
