    That’s the French army you are talking about, their tanks came out with one gear forward and a 6 speed reverse gearbox

    Nope, Frogs were on “our” side…the Poms designed “their” tanks without a reverse gear!

    I remember the ABs beating them 105-0 in WC2005 in Bloemfontein, think that record still stands.
    That rosy cheeked curly permed winger of yours scored 5 tries that day, I recall, was also the last time we heard from him….

    So, just how good are the Aussies, and has this tournament been a good yardstick for them? I hate to slag off any team, but eish, these Frogs have gone backwards in the last year – if thats at all possible

    My money will be on the Wallabies to stop NZ from getting the record test wins at Sydney.
    Think they are quite good, and the SR also shows the Aussies are on the up

    @ Pietman: I reckon you should spend an extra couple of hours on that plane, miss out the smell, and come and spend some time in real whiskey country – we could have an awesome couple of days rejuvenating both you and the industry as a whole. Seriously!
