    Have I been good, Havak?
    Very good. As witnessed by Finbar's reaction.

    Are you telling us the SH players are using the despicable "fake injury" strategy to break the flow of the game after a scrum or a maul when they are dominated by our teams ? I'am shocked...
    I suspect it came as a blow to the SH lads too. They thought all those nancies falling over were really hurt and that the trainers sponge contains some kind of wonder drug to mend broken necks.

    Heh this is fun - but I bet I can't get Finbar to rise to it.



    On more serious matters I see Will Carling has fingered our centres as a weak link. Now where did he get that idea?

      I doubt you would get a ton of warm yeast to rise to that sort of tosh.

        I know I keep asking this, but I keep forgetting - was he the Royal Pork Sword?

          I've mentioned before have I not how easy I find it to spot an Aussie coached team. I use that "tosh" as my methodology in those cases.

          Yes indeed Mr Carling, the last England captain to be truly guilty of running an 'Elite' clique, was indeed the brawn that did for the brainless.

            Do you know what it means to humor someone? Havak had a good discussion, but I would be suprised if he continued the l***** discussion much further than it has already gone.

            I think I can speak for everyone here (except you and Journeyman) when I say that we are here to discuss rugby UNION only. If there is any distraction from that I am confident it will be short-lived.

            I say don't continue this arguement but you can be sure you wont be completly ignored. Post anytime you feel!

                I actually think 15 is reasonable based solely on this months form. I do also think the Boks will play their best game against us however. Did you know that apparently no Bok team in history has ever toured and gone home with no wins. Saturday may be a truly historic day.
                Part of me feels sorry for the boks, but then I remember the '95 RWC, so...OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

                    You should rather say : "...the rest of the commonwealth's hatred of the english!". Most of the other countries only dislike them.

                    Even with a 100 points margin for the Boks I would back England.

                            Fingers out, lads, let's bet!

                            Come on, lads, let's establish some margins and get some Civ Gold flying. This is our last opportunity for a while.

                            My proposed margins are posted somewhere back on this page or the previous page. To save scrolling back, here they are again:

                            1. England -v- Boks (Boks get 17 1/2 points).

                            2. Wallabies -v- Italy (Italy gets 20 1/2 points).

                            3. Wales -v- All Blacks (Wales gets 22 1/2 points). Pure guesswork. It might need to be 32 1/2.

                            Anyone got other any suggestions?

                              Yeah yeah, but if they hadn't invented it, the French would, you know that. So, apart from rugby?

                              I'm not interested in your justification for backing England when South Africa have a 100 points start! I only want your Civ Gold!
