I had a dream this would happen.

In the first half, 2nd half AB's out grinded.

What a great game of rugby, Thomson had a shocker. Samo is the #1 number 8 at the moment

Enjoy it Australia - only silverware you will touching for the rest of the year

Beniphone · 08-27-11, 07:12 AM

Lol

This is good the the ABs, they won't loose a game for the rest of the year. First half ozzys rushing defense + numbers in the backs totally shut down the ABs backs attacking, second half they learnt and grinded it up the middle, 20 something phases? They have finally learnt how to counter it by the looks

RLF · 08-27-11, 07:30 AM

Don't worry I'm not an idiot. ABs will still easily win the WC, probably even more so now they now they're not as good as they think.

Beniphone · 08-27-11, 07:35 AM

Wish I dabbed the ML aswell, 6.5 is all I had the balls for

Anyone had a look into the Irish v English? Ireland are 1.75 favs

RLF · 08-27-11, 08:23 AM

Ireland. Haven't won a game yet, surely will win in Dublin

I think NZ will rest a few players for the SA clash and if Australia beat SA it is hard to see SA losing all 3 games. They play with too much pride and passion to do so. Also the game in Brisbane is after the WC squad is announced and it could mean Henry will rest most of the core squad for that game. Australia will be playing a full strength side in every game.

Had to go back and find this to quote it.

Easily play of the year posted in this thread.

I am on the opposite side of that... just bought some Taranaki-4. Eyeing off the Bay of Plenty h2h @ $2.20.

Beniphone · 08-27-11, 09:30 PM

Yea I kinda wish I stayed away, bay should have the eye on the cup and not the shield, will ride it out tho

RLF · 08-28-11, 01:51 AM

Cheers guys, had an awesome weekend so far. Can't wait for the WC

Beniphone · 08-28-11, 02:07 AM

12 days to go

IDunno89 · 08-28-11, 06:31 AM

getting close.... Chance of warriors getting the home semi is down the shoot

Beniphone · 08-28-11, 10:47 PM

Quite like Otago tomorrow, Waikato to beat cantabs also

hawley · 08-29-11, 12:37 AM

Should have a NZ meet up some time to drink some beers and talk shit.

RLF · 08-29-11, 01:55 AM

I'm trying to get over for Aus vs Ireland, not many mates are keen though.

Will Manawatu rest players against Otago?

I was talking to my boss about this yesterday, interested to see the lineups.

IDunno89 · 08-29-11, 02:14 AM

Yeh defiantly.....

Beniphone · 08-29-11, 04:16 AM

I'm always keen for afew beers

I think Manawatu rest, Otago fire up and try get a win at the new stadium

Beniphone · 08-29-11, 04:20 AM

Wow just looked at the Otago line, I got them at 1.87 and now it's 1.55? They have gotta be resting

RLF · 08-29-11, 04:57 AM

Yep Otago should win, Manawatu won't be caring about this game. I also like them to win the Championship and Waikato to beat Canterbury

Beniphone · 08-29-11, 02:10 PM

Lines are up for the RWC boys

Beniphone · 08-29-11, 02:47 PM

Italy +31.5 vs ozzy
Japan +51.5 vs France

At first glance

Beniphone · 08-30-11, 01:56 AM

Otago has gone from 1.87 to 1.45, woah

SaffaCappa · 08-30-11, 02:14 AM

Otago still -3.5 at SA books! I'm on that

Duff85 · 08-30-11, 02:36 AM

Otago-4.5 here.

jididii · 08-30-11, 03:29 AM

Any leans for second half?

Jididii

Beniphone · 08-30-11, 04:11 AM

Cash otagooooo

Duff85 · 08-30-11, 04:15 AM

NPC has been bank! Why does this have to end?

Beniphone · 08-30-11, 04:23 AM

Yea, very good season. 2 more games

It finishes... But the world cup starts up, cant complain

IDunno89 · 08-30-11, 04:36 AM

Got otago -2.5 1.63... Yeh world cup is almost here and nrl finals

Beniphone · 08-30-11, 04:59 AM

I listened to the first half online and watched the 2nd, the commentors were trying to say buxton poppali was a shit player... Without him otago would be flat and boring (even more so) can't stand some of these radio commentators, especially the guy that covers the Tasman games, he feels the need to call every forward a cement mixer.

SaffaCappa · 08-30-11, 06:40 AM

Boom Otago!

Guys, SA bookies have France +17.5 vs New Zealand in the RWC, I have unloaded like a madman on the Frogs +17.5. I do fancy the AB's to win the RWC but 17 points against their RWC nemesis is a GIFT!
