Dit lyk maar stil hier vanoggend.
Ek loer net vinnig in voordat ek begin werk. Het te veel voetbal gekyk gister so moet nou werk om goed klaar te maak vir my vergadering om 9-30 vanoggend!
Not a single soul wants to watch WC Rugby. GBS we are mad my friend, no hope for us. At least with your charm you get some out of their nests.

This must be an awesome display by the All Blacks.

SB, any chance of a 2nd half comeback and upset by Canada?
How do the AB’s look without Carter?
Dagg of injured and Colin Slade limping, injuries aplenty in this years RWC
Toeava on (New Zealand)
sub
Israel Dagg off (New Zealand)
Try number 7 to Jerome Kaino
Slade converts but runs back gingerly, something is hurting
@ Scrumdown:
Slade looks good, he sliced throug with ease a few times , kicking not great but even Carter did not kick well. The problem is , wil he perform under pressure?
42@ superBul:
Let’s hope not!
Wouldn’t it be ironic if the AB’s failed again because of an injury at a captains run?
Brilliant defense by Canada , they steal the ball on their line , starts running but turns over the ball on their own 22 and SBW scores in the corner
Piri Weepu now on for Slade
Andrew Tiedemann on (Canada)

Linebreak by New Zealand’s Piri Weepu!
Pushover try by NZ, Kaino got his hands on the ball, converted by Weepu
Woodcock collides faces with Kleeberger. I think a universe was just created with that big BANG
Both off
Ouch! Hope both okay after that head clash
a wonderfull runaway try by Zac Guildford, his 4th.
Converted by Weepu
Weepu is talked up by the commentators, they certainly gunning for him
TRY Victor Vito

Come on Canada. Go out with a bang. 2 more tries for a bonus point against New Zealand.
Zane Kirchner???????????????????
Why him? For the love of all things good in life did they not call up another lock, or even WO?
@ Scrumdown:
Toooo Late!!!!
All Blacks win by 64
55@ Loosehead:
No decent locks left. WO not the answer either, but neither is Kirchner.
Which team has the biggest / most influential injury list at this WC?
I was always a Zane supporter but i never thought he was back in good form, so i can only imagine that he is there to make someone happy with the numbers. Peter was adament that he knows who he wants to play. So Frans did mess up his initial thoughts but he MUST go back to JDV at center.
But, but Kirchner looks just like Sideshow Bob.
