The futures Black

Well touché All Blacks – last week the only thing that choked on that pitch was Quade Cooper. The Kiwis looked like they should do – world beaters and that’s what they should be crowned on Sunday – all they have is the French infront of them. Look I keep on about this French team having one game in them well to be honest I hope they don’t – I don’t want a team that really didn’t play great rugby to make it there. Its not about great rugby in the knock out stages its about winning I hear you say – correct but did they play good rugby in the pool stages? – no they didn’t. People are on England’s case for shit behaviour well look over at the stropping petulant French and see how they have behaved. however I don’t really care about the fuss of having lost 2 of their pool games stopping a team getting to the final – that’s what the Rugby world should be heading for – when everybody in the pool has a chance of going through. I wont mention this mornings game but what it was was a big dose of reality for us in Wales – that doesn’t mean that we still aren’t a great side but shows we have a long way to go to keep being consistent.

So this Sunday I will be supporting the All Blacks because they deserve it, they may be very nervous which may let in France remembering that this is the Final and anything could happen but if form stays true I would put the kiwis by 15 but hey what the hell do I know.

You may be a small country stuck in the 1980s but go All Blacks!!

At the moment I don't have enough to say about the tournament to warrant a full blog entry, so I'd just like to ask two questions:
1. When did it become acceptable in Rugby Union internationals for fans to boo a kicker taking a penalty?
2. Was it about the same time the attention span of the fans became so short that they needed party tunes to dance to as a player was being treated for a potentially career-threatening injury on the pitch?

deffo Spen, agreed on both points - the Irish still manage to stay quiet through kicks so why cant the rest of the world - as for that music shite - makes as much sense as employing some fifth rate DJ to act like an american wrestling MC to tell us when to cheer on our OWN nation ni a sport that we love - knobs
