Luck....might mean something to tossing a coin, but the All Blacks make their luck from hard work, skill and ability.

Sorry but the All Blacks have the depth of quality players and commitment which will yield the ultimate result.

hunz · 18 October 2011, 11:00 PM

luck = 50% chance

speed, skill, talent = better odds

Would agree but I was talking about the French Welsh game,now IMHO a Wales and All Blacks should have been the final match.

Hope your right - Wales need to get something out of this game, don't want them to end this tournament on another downer!

Looks like the spark has gone out of Wales a bit (and who could blame them).

I hope they can get going and turn the game around. IMO Wales deserve the consolation prize more.

gregvisser · 21 October 2011, 06:54 PM

Watching the game now with 18 minutes to go and Wales is looking flat. I'm trying to get the over the line, but their kicking is rubbish.

Oh well.

What a boring game tonite
Sunday game should be great

charger_vital · 22 October 2011, 03:45 AM

It's amazing that the French don't get more credit for what they have accomplished (France and NZ are the only 2 teams with 3 finals appearences, of course NZ has won). But I never see France rated up in the elite. It's always NZ, Aus, RSA, and Eng considered as top rung. All France has done is win. Perhaps with an upset over NZ, the rugby-ranking folks will no longer be able to deny the French dominance. Of course, that will never happen in a million years; NZ is stacked even without Carter, et al.

It would be quite an upset.Finals are strange though,can be tighter than most expect.Who knows...quick intercept try,conversion and drop or penalty and the score ,NZ behind 10-0 after 5 min or so .... Also,no one really expects France to win....no pressure.NZ on the other hand has pressure on them....the world expects them to win,the NZ people EXPECT them to win.They are the clear favorites.They dearly want to break the drought since 1987.So,the All Blacks have all the pressure.Then again,the All Blacks can also run away with the final.They are a classy outfit.

France vs England ....a local radio broadcaster summed it up nicely:
"The French attack is weak,their defense is weak,they fight amongst each other,the players and the coach fight ....... therefore they are going to win"

They won.

I burn my NZ Passport if the ABs lose.... I will... they cannot lose

That's a bit drastic. I think they would be Sacrilege!

At the end of the day its just 30 men running around a field throwing a ball around. Lets put things into perspective and keep our inner drama queens under control

blackmsport · 22 October 2011, 03:05 PM

My NZ passport expired 3 years ago.... as I use my Aussie one now

still I want to burn it

Andad · 22 October 2011, 03:38 PM

Don't burn it yet. Wait until the French beat you and then burn it.

blackmsport · 22 October 2011, 04:30 PM

oh yeah... good point 99

hunz · 22 October 2011, 04:39 PM

MIne expires in 6 months. I'm going to renew it. Nothing like travelling on a NZ pp. With the Oz pp you get whacked for tourist visas in certain countries like Turkey and France, unless this has changed since. Not had a single problem with any country on my various travels with my NZ pp

I'm contemplating getting an aussie pp, whats the pros and cons??

Andad · 22 October 2011, 04:57 PM

Pros.......

Cons......

I only have British and New Zealand.

Same here!

One advantage to a Aussie citizenship is you can buy commercial property without any hassles

As long as you pay the taxes along with any Tariffs and all employees lurks and perks!!

Andad · 22 October 2011, 05:43 PM

And If you are from any other overseas Country.
This also works for New Zealand farms.

TswaneNguni · 22 October 2011, 05:52 PM

24 hours before kick-off.

Most likely Black,but may be Bleu.

What drama awaits us ?? Can't wait !!!!

TswaneNguni · 23 October 2011, 05:33 AM

Cheers, I'll try to give it a look...

I'm still trying to recover from the split in my side caused by Matt Damon playing Francois Pienaar!!!

limenko · 23 October 2011, 06:04 AM

Big game today, very exciting.....ABs look un-backable, so much so that the bookies are quoting them at 1.09 and Les Bleus at 7.0! I just hope we get a spectacle befitting the occasion.

I cannot do that

As much as I love France, I learnt French when I was a kid, I listen to French music now, went to see a French / US movie - Mid night in Paris... (excellent film).... France bombed the Rainbow Warriors in NZ, French tested Nuke next door to NZ... so I have the back the ABs

hunz · 23 October 2011, 12:04 PM

Not long to go now... this will be quite the game if the AB's are able to play their strategy out. Go the blacks!

Lol-x · 23 October 2011, 12:12 PM

Go All Blacks
