@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Kia Ora Griquas, must say your attitude throughout the whole video gate saga has been very refreshing..
and looking for your side to really step up today, good to see Anthony Faingaa get just rewards for the season hes had..
I think the team under Deans is improving, and honestly dont think they are too far away at all..

The haka bores me, waste of time.
All Blacks buy plenty.
@ nga puhi:
Thanks mate. Excellent haka. I have every faith in Robbie and his man-management skills, he’s the best thing that could have happeneed to the wallabies and I’m certain he’ll leave a positive legacy.
@ Ashley:
could you also type louder, Im going deaf too .. lmao
Morning Guys
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
yeah, it takes time to build a side… it took Jake White 4 years, and even then his team really didnt peak until 2009…
@ Loosehead:
You crazy,l love the Haka
Helloooooooooooooo
Gooooooooo Rugby!
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Muliaina…. damn that was slick!
ke-tshhhhhh ….heard someone open up a can of whip-ass
I hope Australia win, not nice to watch all the games knowing there is nothing to play for, but doubt it will happen, and as i am typeing kiwis score.
First few mins tactics all wrong for the wallas; no penetration; playing at our end of the field; silly tactics, too many passes; c’mon wallas, wake up and play smarter!!!
All Blacks 7 / 0
ABs on fire, first try up already.
Yeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaa good try
Run-away try Kurtley Beale…
well, well, well….nice try Wallabies
@ Ashley:31 – Ash, Poppa is a good mate of mine and Piets. He is a good kiwi boeta, nice to see him here and also good for him to get away from all the insults that get chucked around on keo. So I welcome poppa here. Always enjoy speaking with him.
I hope this ends up being a close game but enevitable i know kiwis will win.
7 / 7
Simple error from the ABs and the wallas are over @ 7 all. Fast paced game . . .
