So far so good!

[Rex Messup]

This game could have been a bloodbath,we showed much more endevour in attack today,the defensive lapses were exploited by the Cannes as a good side will do
all is not lost

They nearly put 50 on us
You're starting to sound like a Queenslander

I think a queenslander would be sounding a trifle more happier than me Rex


The chiefs had more than 60 put against them
are they not smiling?

Dunning and Harris need to pick their business up (unless it was the multiple pints of black "life' that made me think they were less than good).

Were you at JBs this evening (or perhaps someone else that was completely ragging on the a couple of seats over)?

"JOC did nothing! Get rid of JM! etc etc"

I doubt they will be when they sit down to review the game

No and.....
I am a huge JM fan
I am a huge JOC fan
Must I apologise for hating backs that can't kick, tackle, pass or catch?

& props that cant touch on command

[Rex Messup]

Spoken like a true halfback
As with most problems in rugby, it starts with the referee. The poor old boy couldn't talk loud enough because he was so out of shape he was puffing too hard.
The locks and backrow couldn't hear a bloody thing and went early.
Props are the most important players on the field. I won't hear a bad word against them
Go and hang out in the ladies lounge with the other backs

[brokendown gunfighter]

maybe the ref should use sign language for Dunning in the future?

Positives out of the game against the Canes

1) - The performance and split role put in by JOC
2) - The "suprise packet" and performance of Mitch Inman & Ben Macca- who's missing out when we have a full paddock to choose from ?
3) - The effort of all the force players playing against 16 canes players on the field (F@#% show by the umpire was poor and was certain he was seeing only one team on the field)
4) - The pack played well and lineout was better
5) - DHP coming well in Attack.
6) - Performed well with the youngest team in the S14, and with injuries.
7) - The eyeliner of Nonu running when McCalman gave him a smack across the chops

Negitavties
1) - Sam Harris, he isn't a super rugby player at the moment, play club football
2) - Haig Sare / Sam Harris - Where were they ???
3) - Defense and missed tackles.
In the two opening games we have had over 10 tries scored, 7 have been to both wings, DHP performed well in attack, but stay on your Wing and man up in defense & same with you Sare.
4) - Listening to Murray Mextead (you are a t00ssa, and byest as any other Kiwi -Canes aren't the be-all of NZRU, you have cheifs and saders above in talent)

The only thing is we are wearing the splitters from the wooden spoon and we have the chiefs at home next week !!!

Sh1t, we are almost there just need to gell that little more, but you can hear the "john mitchell" baggers out if we dont perform well next week - not that he has developed 10 Wallabies since he's been here.

It could work

[benny]

But saying that how padantic is the umpire ? - who cares if its "1 second" before the other prop touches !!! come on now - we aren't playing tiddlewinks.

[jombi]

No one should be bashing Dunning over this - watch the game again.

The ref was absolutely rubbish when it came to the scummages, at the start it was the standard crouch-touch-pause-engage, but by the third it was crouch-touch-wait an hour-pause- tick tock tick tock penalty.

Even some of the Wellingtonians I've been talking to saw it.

[GIGS20]

Yeah the dodgy scrum calls hurt both teams though. At least one free kick to the Force was for the Canes going early....ref was being a bit of a wanker about it.

Canes took advantage of him a bit too, I'm sure they put a lot of blokes into the ruck to justify them lying on the ball. Mextead was banging on about it in the warm up 'can't see how you can rush into the ruck at a million miles an hour and keep your feet'........it's called BALANCE Murray, maybe you should try to use some when you open your craphole on TV!

[benny]

Nonu was eyelining himself up
Murray Mexted was blowing is stack over the umpire and wellington players
Weepu (the fat bastard) was preparing the hamburgers

If I "hated" one team in the competition its the cockyness of the Canes !!!

Can I ask a question ? why is McCaw, Soilaia all having this time off (being tired) are they trying to make excuse for the AB failure in the 2011 world cup. Someone who I thought may be tired is Dan Carter, plays 12 months of the year, never hear him complaining and always plays well and consitent !!

I don't need to mention refs being shite, since this is default.
