Highlanders played like dooses…..NZ teams going off the boil? Watch the Crusaders get a klap this arvie. Then we must play our second stringers in the tri-nations and piss everyone off and then use the top frensh players to win the cup, with those who went big in the tri-nations getting their chance.

well havent logged on here in ages, probably wont anymore either…but I see racism is inherent no matter what SA rugby site you log onto, as this post proves…kiwis kick as good as they look? pray tell, how do they look? pathetic…

44@ nga puhi:
Fender is not a white oke… relax man… I’m sure it was’nt meant in a racist way, for that Fender has ALWAYS been far too open and honest and cincere.

If anything, it might be a little anti-NZ but it should be natural that the different countries have a bias away from the other 2 countries.
