[Rugby] Rugby League & Rugby Union discussions.

[u mad?]

The fallout from the brawl at Manly has opened it up again, otherwise I would have bet my left nut for a Manly - Storm final.

 

[Shrek]

Do not discount the Tigers or The Dragons.

At this stage I would say Newcastle and Cowboys are no hope.

I don't think Brisbane can win the GF.

 

[Rugby88]

So much union talk, what about league? Final series coming up, what are you feelings?

Great way to kick things off with the Tigers v Dragons on Friday night, but it's a little more predictable (so you'd hope!) after that.

Tigers v Dragons - Dragons
Broncos v Warriors - Broncos
Manly v Cowboys - Manly
Storm v Knights - Storm

Not really a good season this yr...fairly boring.

Storm will prob win.

Why, coz the Raiders performed poorly. I think it's been good. We have seen some remarkable tries this year and lots of close games. Parramatta have had 4 Golden Point Games. Can't get any closer.

The stadium was packed, must have been no seats empty except a few and was full of black supporters.

ARG vs Eng tonight. Im tipping England but i want Argentina to win

How was the opening cereomony? (channel 9 didn't show it )

Didnt watch the opening cereomony - but watched the game - All Blacks played ok...Tonga defended really well and played alot better than I thought...saying that All Blacks didnt play that well.

Only scored one try in the 2nd half....its a win and I guess that what counts.

 

[walt]

i didnt see 2nd half, i saw 1st half and all blacks were doing dominating tonga even though not playing great

Tigers were very good in the second half.

They will be hard to beat now.

I watched the All Blacks, great first half but moderate second, still a good win.

Sorta lost it abit in the 2nd half but Tonga did step it up...I think it was a good 1st game for the All Blacks...it was abit of a test and showed areas of weakness they need to work on.

 

[walt]

this world cup is going to be so much better than the france world cup in 2007, bias yes, but the crowd was awesome in the first game.

NZ playing Japan, France and Canda.

Aussies playing Italy, Ireland, USA and Russia.

England playing Argentina, George, Romania and Scotland.

South Africa playing Wales, Fiji, Namibia and Samoa.
