[QUOTE="Red Enigma, post: 869691, member: 75347"] Settled in to a kiwi owned Corp box in Sydney for the Bledisloe, now watching Supercars on TV with its kiwi dominance. Big weekend after the rugby - our Ferns are in action and so is NZ';s top sportsman by a mile, Scott Dixon in the Indy Series. Have left forum disputes way behind - i'm watching real rugby, as I do every weekend, and the AB's as I have done all over the world for the last thirty or so years. Only teams I've watched more on the sideline is Wellington, followed by the hurricanes who just head off the AB's. The kiwis here - most of whom live in Aussie - have mixed feelings about this result. Obviously they predict an AB win but we are all guys who bet big on sport, hence our sponsorship, and it would take six successive AB wins to offset the loss if we back the Wallabies. So my friends, I'll take the odds and punt on the fast wallaby backline, weakness of the kiwi back three under a very high ball, and bad AB coaching to bring Aussie a win. It will only take one NZ loss in the rest of the championship to recover my loss if the AB's surprise me. [/QUOTE]
