@MN5 or to put it more literally she was temporarily unsuspended

Wow the poms are Shiite in this second half

Yep pretty shit game so far, Wallabies would have to be stoked at 6-6 at halftime thinking poms should run away with it in this 2nd

Question for you Kiwis. Who, if any of the Irish would ye take in an AB team?

I'm nervous about this first test... I just hope it's a close game and we don't get pumped.

I wouldn’t pick one Irish combined…

Wouldn’t mind that chap who used to play for Waikato

@Kirwan He's even taken over the Rugbypass podcast now. Inescapable.

Funny I just walked past Sonny Bill over here at Optus and thought you are the worst- but maybe T J has lowered the bar further?

@Machpants said in [Poll] Who wins this weekend?:

Man I can't beleive that 0-8 ozzie are going to win this weekend cos a they aren't utter totally shit, just mostly shit, in SR?

Aussies always lift when they pull the yellow jersey on, oh and a decent coach also and the poms are looking more average these days

Also word is that George Bower, Quinn Tupaea, & Will Jordan all currently have symptoms...

Would be funny if DeGroot got called up as cover then outscrummed the opposition.

Wouldn't be funny if Bridge was called up as cover and came on to drop a high kick or fail to beat a man.

Or played a blinder and scored a hat trick- nothing surprises me anymore

@Crazy-Horse said in Grumpy Old Man:

I am grumpy with my new neighbours on two fronts.

One, they have a German Shepherd that every time they are out it barks like mad and jumps at the fence like it wants to eat us. I was hoping the bloody thing would be used to us by now but it's been a month so I am not sure it is going to. It's at the stage where we feel we can't go outside in our own yard because of the bloody thing.

Two, and I might be being petty because I am pissed about the dog, but the neighbours put their rubbish bins in front of our house. I'd understand if there was no room outside their house for them but there is. And to piss me off even more they leave them out for days on end. Would the bins annoy anyone else or and I being a grumpy old man?

Take the bins away and tell Council about the dog

Looks like the perfect storm building up for our hold on Eden Park to finally be broken. Statistically it is due anyway but the thought of being 4-2 down against the Irish over the last few years will be hard to swallow.

Hopefully the ground will be nice and firm and we will be able to blow them away all over the park with some physical and attacking rugby

Surely would be a good opportunity to bring in Joe Schmidt, at least to have him in the coaches box on Saturday
