[QUOTE="captainamerica, post: 15398"] Los, first, good point about S.A. in 2005, they could definitely be a hardcore team. Now, on to this challenge . . . What a piece of poo. This game is horrible. I hate it. No wonder I haven't played an entire match since . . . well I can't remember the last time I played a full match of this. Nearly a year. Yeah, a year. Venue: Windhoek Weather: Sunny Temp: Mild Wind: None Half: 10 minutes Diff: Hard New Zealand (Me) v England (A.I.) First half, we begin the match with me shouting, again, about how bad this game is. But, through persistance and concentration, my yelling drowns out John Inverdale and the tenacious English pack -- who've apparently got the best ball retention in the history of the sport. Wilkinson slots 3 of his 4 penalties, but not before I first send Lomu, then Carter, over for two well-worked* tries. * = as well-worked as you can make them in this "game." Carter converts both and we, the All Blacks, go in to half-time leading 14 - 9. The second half kicks off and only then do I realize that the clock stops every time the ball goes into touch. 7,000 lineouts follow, making this seem like the longest . . . match . . . I've . . . ever . . . played. I slap myself twice -- first one to wake up; second one for buying this game. Somehow I'm awarded a penalty and Carter hoofs it over to take me to 17 - 9. The English come back with Wilkinson slotting over his 4th penalty of the match. Then there comes a torrent of English attack but I hold them off to win 17 - 12. I will never play this game again. I will hold on to it, as an example for my future children, and then my future grand-children, of what can happen when you do something in life half-assed. [/QUOTE]
