Attention Kiwis & Aussies-The fun starts Sept 7th..

Very cool. It would be very hard not to want to see the Pacific Island teams do well at the World Cup - so much talent, so little opportunity to play at this level aside from sevens.

2am Perth time is crunch time for the All Blacks..

Fingers & legs crossed..

Oops.

[crazycanuck]

I'd like to see Fiji beat South Africa tonight!!!! Also it would be interesting to see Argentina beat Scotland.

*sigh*...

Do you think Graham Henry needed a post match talk with the boys? I feel bad for them in a way as the world media isn't being kind to the Kiwis

Well, why would they be being nice? The whole tournament was ours to lose and we, well, lost it. Poor boys looked like they were going to cry though.

DD-Dan Carter's eyes said it all..

For many of the boys it was thier last career test match. Not only for NZ but also the Wallablies. George Gregan's one example..


Ok, this is scraping the bottom of the barrell but I found this on stuff.co.nz

Ten reasons why the All Blacks' 20-18 loss to France in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals ain't that bad....

Richie McCaw's freshly cut hair put in a great performance.

They only won by two points.

Only one person lost $A5 million ($NZ5.89 million) by betting on us winning.

France could still lose the final.

We could have lost to Georgia.

Blue will never look as cool as black on a uniform.

What doesn't kill us can only make us stronger.

If it wasn't for the ref, it would have been different.

You can still drink your beer stockpile on New Year's Eve.

The French have never won an Oscar for best picture.
