Wonder what the TAB will be paying for SBW first try hmmmm? or better yet if they'll have odds on how long will it take SBW to be exposed on defence?

Surely SBW won't get a start at number 13 he's been at 12 through the ITM cup. Smith is too good and would do a better job of looking after SBW playing at 12 than Nonu would if he were 12 and SBW 13. Nonu is only as good as he is because of his combination with Smith. Anyways SBW will be lucky...

8-12? really?. More 9-28 if the ABs come anywhere near top gear and if England take them on at their own game. Look what happened to the french last year. England better hope SBW starts at number 12, that might see the AB backline misfire a bit as he hasn't played with anyone in that backline...

You know theres a England, NZ test coming up when Stephen Jones talks **** about the haka. Hope they pull out Kapo O Pango with complimentary throat slitting at the end for added effect. I have a feeling England will get annihilated with these new rules in the same sort of fashion the Boks were...

Toeava was out of position too in the D line and Aus exploited it and then he fell over after he saw what was going down. So I don't really consider this try one off our mistake but more of Aus reading the defence and exposing it to the maximum. Toeava shouldn't even be there hopefully he's...

Who's the Aussie kicking coach fark he needs to be shown the door general kicking and goal kicking was shocking. Is he from waikato by any chance?.

I actually hope Donald gets a start this tour now. Really play himself out of world cup contention once and for all.

Well done to Aus, bout the only team that can match the ABs at such a frantic pace. A pity the rest of the end of year tour games will get no where near that. Donald should hang his head in shame f*ckn useless, can't kick, can't kick goals, can't tackle, can't even boot a ball out and you were...

Damn you Canterbury, damn you

Each nation should get something like ABs and the haka along with the Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Maori equivilents. Wallabies get the waltzing matilda, England swing low, Wales what ever they sing etc etc surely every major rugby playing country has something unique about their crowds. Be good to...

Finally some good counter points, a pity they took so long. So there are arguments either way so hopefully HB take note and make a decision on all provincial level rugby together and not just include one or the other. I hope they don't play the numbers game and put in all of the NH comps just...

Imagine if I used the arguments "they were **** therefore doesn't count", some fancy picture, "they're were an embarrassment", "don't feed the trolls" etc etc regarding the All Black exits from each world cup (bar '87). They aren't arguments are they? it would be just me minimising.

Hmm some big posts up in here. Has anyone mentioned the idea of being able to set up the pick and go scenario or setting up 'pods' of forwards to the left or right to get ready for the drive over the advantage/try line (or use as a dummy and throw it to the backs). How about setting forwards to...

Of course they are at the moment now go and try argue against it. Thats right you can't it's the official ranking, maybe by the end of their Tour they might come down a peg or two but they made real progress throughout the tri-nations and I think they'll carve some teams up. Could be wrong.

I guess you could combine IRB rankings and the star system 5 stars to top 5 teams: NZ, AUS,SA FRA, IRE 4.5 to the next three: ENG, SCO, ARG 4.0 to the next three:WAL, FIJI, ITL 3.5 to the next 5 so on and so on pretty rough but you get the idea

Has mass amounts of problems for sure just a bit of an idea not explained very well haha. Be interested to hear HB's long term vision if they contiued with this game. Manager type mode most be in their thinking but probably not their budget.

Rough example 1. NZ 94 2. Aus 93 3. SA 93 4. France 91 5. Ireland 91 6. England 90 7. Scotland 88 8. Argentina 88 9. Wales 85 10. Fiji 80 11. Italy 79 12. Samoa 79 13. Japan 79 14. Canada 75 15. USA 70 16. Tonga 70 17. Georgia 69 18. Russia 65 19. Romania 65 20. Nambia 62 IRB rankings kept in...

I've never said stats and records are all that are important at any time. I'm interested to know what your feelings are on player ratings? realistic or not?. My view is with all the guessing and personal feelings toward which team should be rated what it should just be down to their IRB ranking...

The last thing you want bullitt is a realistic rugby game, aanndd your numbers are off too. I agree with your view on gran turismo but thats car racing. Sports games such as rugby I think should be a fair reflection of real life, nearly everyone in here seems to want realistic player stats. But...

This definitley needs to be added.
