Any rugby fans here? I'm guessing no, but... Rugby's my number one sport, Leinster season ticket holder. I'd love to here from other followers, if there are any!

I fell asleep half way through! Just after the Sharks scored a try with 13 men :( Woke up especially for that as well, damn you tiredness haha.

That trip made me laugh, just because of the guys expression as he was doing it. He looked so pleased with himself.

I don't know if you guys saw the French game but Toulon v Biarritz was awesome. Big comeback at the end. And the Cheetahs are about to upset the Hurricanes at the moment. But look what the Welsh clubs are doing to the Irish ones. Lianelli took out Ulster and Newport Gwent did the same to Munster (who helped with knock on's/missed penalties, you know how it goes). Wonder if that trend continues tomorrow when Leinster visit Cardiff, or if things get turned around just in time for the big one next weekend.

Congrats to yours on that big win, KryOnicle. And Scotland played well with Parks and that defense, not that I've noticed any of their supporters on here, but they did it, no triple crown this year even though someone looks well on their way to a Grand slam at the moment.

Was great to see Wales play so well. Just a little too late to get their game together. Hopefully they'll keep improving and lessening the errors, they have a tough summer ahead of them.

Not sure what was up with Ireland, definitely was not the same Ireland that showed up for the rest of the Six Nations. Scotland were great, really nice to see them get a W as they should of had a few more this tournament.

I actually enjoyed watching England play for a change. They were really really trying and I felt the score really didn't reflect the game. Frances defense held very well through out though, that's the only reason they got the Grandslam, although a very deserved championship.

Yeah not sure what was up either, it reeks of complacency though. I reckon the players thought they could come out, do the basics and win the triple crown. Instead Scotland soaked up our attack well in the opening quarter, upset the best lineout in the world multiple times and attacked our set piece. Hat's off to Scotland, they deserved it.

Wow, did anybody see the Magners matches today? I enjoyed the hell out of Leinster v O'Gara, er I mean Munster. And saw what Tommy Bowe pulled off against the Scarlets. Didn't see it (wasn't televised) but understand from the articles it was a good one in Edinburgh v Connacht.

Speaking of awesome, most intense match I've seen in a long time Leinster v Clermont in the first Heineken quarterfinal. As soon as I saw O'Driscoll and Heaslip running out wide for a try early in the first half I knew it would be great. But if not for my new favorite French kicker Brock James, that one would have gone the way of Clermont. Oh, pretty decent article about it here.

Brock James will never forget that day. I felt bad for the Clermont boys, their fans were amazing and Clermont played really well, but its a game of chance sometimes I get. They'll do well next year. It was nice to see at the game the following week a large number of Leinster fans were wearing Clermont scarves. Semi-final's looming now, scary stuff...

rugby is pretty good, depending whether a team like the bulls just kick penalty goals all day and kick the ball back and forth, unfortunately the wallabies are pretty shite, thats why i prefer league(dont make this into a league vs union thread)

I am a Bulls fan, so I couldn't just let this one slide. The Bulls are the Super 14 champions. Maybe they do kick too much, but a good planned kick at the right place and at the right time puts your team in a better position to score.

South Africa is going to play the All Blacks today. I am looking forward to that.

no because then my kiwi friends get cocky if they win anyway, all i want is an aussie tri nations but looks unlikely, robbie deans stinks as coach
 
#81 ·
All Blacks take a close yet high scoring one they are just too damn good right now, but especially since they have the home advantage. Would pick differently when they go to South Africa next month.

And for information on the DREAM show, the Japanese MMA forum is all you need :D

I think that scoreline was quite flattering to SA, the All Blacks demolished them all round the park, their scrum was amazing too, I've never seen a Jon Smit led-pack get pushed back like that.

Thanks Nefilm, I have to come here every day for a while at least, so I can just as well post a bit. You won't believe it, I bought the newspaper, but never read it. I was too tired. haha Oh well, I wonder what Pieter de Villiers will come up with next. Their selections wasn't very bright this time around, so I am looking forward to see what changes they will be making to the teams.
