Setanta Australia is no more European than Fox Sports Australia is American... surely?

Nah, it's exactly the same as the Euro version. All just bloody Euro soccer with a smattering of Euro Rugby tournament matches.

alright. Let's see what the World XV's got...

What's their national anthem ? The Benetton song ?

 

[Big Ewis]

couldn't they have picked closer jerseys color-wise ?! They're way too different, would've been more challenging if they were closer..

 

[Draggs]

Well, I must thank HM for saving me the trouble of getting an updated team sheet. Can still use the 2009 ones

 

[Jaguares]

An interesting start of World XV

 

[Big Ewis]

that's a try

 

[Big Ewis]

O'Connor looks especially pretty with that hairdo today...

 

[Jaguares]

OMG! I love World XV

 

[Big Ewis]

lol the ref is yelling like a maniac

 

[kesh]

The jerseys are practically the same colour.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

World XV playing well together.

 

[Big Ewis]

Bakkies 'Bowatta'. Always found it strange, the pronunciation.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Good try by SA Habana needs stopping.

 

[Big Ewis]

man, Carl Hayman never budges. Even when the whole scrum collapse, he still stands his ground. What strength...

I forgot this match is one for Kockott to appeal to S.A. It's almost a political visit for him.

 

[Big Ewis]

Botha needs to get knocked the fk out one day and he'd stop being such a bish. At least for a good while. Well I guess it's too late now. Guy's 50, he won't change now..

 

[Tony Manx]

If our Nige did not play up to his normal standards................Clancey is certainly playing down to his!!!!

 

[Big Ewis]

man, Drew Mitchell has played loads this year. A ton more than if he were still playing test Rugby ! And he's been playing really well, such a reliable guy, although he doesn't bring the flash and try-scoring he once did. Very cool guy to have on your side, it was an excellent land for Toulon.

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Bakkies developed a hint of ze French accent

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Good warm up for SA. World XV more cohesive than I'd have thought. Man, Hayman beasting the Beast. Le Roux showed his class putting Habana away twice. What makes me happiest is the accuracy of our play. The old men not thrpwing their names away but still...
