Give me a break!!Originally posted by loratadine@Jan 24 2006, 04:31 AM
england are a good team - but not as good as sa or fra at the moment they are on par with wales.
I am with you bud. The IRB rankings will seperate your heart from your brain and will give you who is the best in the world at the moment weither you like the team or not!! NZ are number one at the moment they had a great year well done guys. I am really glad the old SA NZ rivalry is backOriginally posted by Cain@Jan 24 2006, 06:25 PM
I really dont know whats all the fuss about
If you look at the IRB world rankings (ITS THERE FOR THIS TYPE OF ARGUMENT) you will see who is the better PERFORMING sides of a season.
Guys like really relax -
I'm just glad that a team that deserves to be on top is on top this time round - cause England wasnt all that great in 2005 yet they ruled in the game. MMMm wonder if HB is doing the queen.
Its a joke btw
Cheers
Sorry mate - it's just the usual Welsh/English banter. Strange how you thought England were on par with Wales, and didn't care to mention any other team though. For what it's worth though, i think England are better than Wales. Only France and NZ are better then England. Can't really comment on SA.Originally posted by loratadine@Jan 24 2006, 06:44 AM
sa had a bad autum by loosing to france- but i dont think people realise how good france were in the autum - they might have evn beat the all blacks - sa are the only team to beat nz this year and theyve only lost three times to quality sides - sa are better than england and wales.
bman - grow up mate - youre alot older than me but yet you still act like a gimp - england are a top quality outfit - and so are wales - we try to play offensively whereas you try to play defensely - i personally hate this - 0o0 we got beaten by less by a certain team that means where better if thats the case you lost to ireland by 6 pts i believe and we beat ireland by 12 pts so that makes us 18 pts better than you - this is sarcasm by the way - as im more than man enough to admit england are one hell of a team and on there day can match anyone - but i think a side who can beat an aussie team with 6 players missing and not just normal players british lions players are a good team. im not making exscuses for us its fact - we had six players missing. take sheridan,grewcock,corry,hodgson,lewsey and thompson out of hq and see if england would have still have lost to nz by 4 pts.
england and wales will be a great game and i really think it could go either way depending on a number of things - such as the weather and who turns up on the day - obviously a wet and windy day may favour the english as they dont like to pass it out wide... that is not an insult its the bloody truth it doesnt mean there a bad team - it means they only play 15 man rugby in minor bursts and against teams like canada and samoa.
All this stuff bout rescent form though is crap - i like to look at a teams performanc throughout the whole year and way up possible scenarios how to how the results have come about - wales lost two games all year - compared to englands 4, we also scored 3 times as many tries as england. lets try and drop it as i feel i cant air my points towards you as youre such a narrow minded idiots - dont answer back with the "he a racist english basher" because im not - theres plenty of the english guys i like and respect on here - most notably harrison 24/68 as he can construct a proper arguement and respect others opinions. england are not a better team than wales in my opinion - there on par - both capable of beating one another

Sharks(AKA Banana Boys in SA Kafta eat your heart out!). I love the boys but have been going through a rebuilding stage so I hope that they improve this year alot of young inexperienced players. Man they have the worst schedule of any Super 14 team this year so I am not getting my hopes up.
