An excellent post and correct on all counts.
1. indeed he is from Argentina.
2. The outrage of AB supportes is quite pathetic over BOD. Two players commited an illegal and highly dangerous act and got away with it while the victim had 6 months outside of rugby.
3. Agree about Scotland Vs Italy. The highlight was not the match itself but the history of Italy knocking over a traditional power. I agree that there were superior 6 Nations matches such as Italy Vs Wales and Ireland Vs France. A much better comp than the 3N.
4. The AB's score a high ration from long distance. Thats right, like I have been saying. I still can't find any of the desperate NZ posters on this forum providing mwe with evidence that I am wrong on this. they are trying but failing badly.
5. Dead right about Ireland. Ireland can beat top countries by keeping them in their own half, playing the territory game. When it works they can knock over any team. When it doesn't, i.e. when O'Gara plays badly, Ireland get punished. Look at Ireland's losses to NZ and Australia in 2005 and compare them to Irelands wins agsint Australia and South Africa a year latter.
6. NZ now have a scrum to go with their superb backs. No doubt there. They are third after Italy and Argentina at the moment in the scrumaging department.
7. Probably the best rucking team in the world but at mauls they aren't pushing around teams like Argentina or Italy are.
"...The tackle was illegal..." Melhor.
What you have written is actually incorrect. You should have written:
The tackle was, in my opinion, illegal.
The judiciary looked at the tackle and ruled that neither player; Umaga or Mealamu had a case to answer. That means that minds that are greater and more experienced than yours ruled that the tackle was not illegal.

I'm sorry but making a comment like this shows that you clearly have nto seen the same footage tyhat I have. The act was one that is not legal according to the laws of the game of rugby. When other similar actions have taken place players have faced severe punishment.
You can blame the judiciary all you like but thats plain ignorance. Now go away and find yourself some coverage of the incodent because clearly you need to. Look on Irish rugby sources for starters. Thats where I saw it!
True Legnd
Your attempts at defending yourself are poor. You would struggle to get a C' at university.
I asked you for some proof that NZ don't score a high number of tries from opposition errors and from outside of the attaqcking zone and you have failed bigtime.
You want to use the Lions as proof? Well then why did the first test go as follows:
Try 1. Sivivatu from half way following a long pass from Umaga. Try 2. Williams try from missed Lions lineout throw from Shane Byrne. Williams didn't get lifted in a challenge to the throw either....
Test 2: Umaga try from Carter break from inside own half. Try Carter try from inside own half. Other Carter try from 40 metres out following a chip and chase.
Test 3 finally had some try's from the All Blacks scored while hot on attack in the opponents 22. However this does not detract from the pattern of scoring tries from outside of the attacking zone. My therom that if a team shut sNZ down here they will win remains very much a probability.
Now you can say people didn't like me on the IRB forum but thats just a lie. The truth is you didn't like me beacuse of your tendancies to bigotry. Its the same as yuor comments on this topic. Why are you only ever bothered by comments about your country?
You have also tries saying I said Rokocoko was poached. Tahts another lie. Anyone who has read my comments knows perfectly well that I have suggested an age limit of 13. If a player is under 13 upon entering a country he can represent that country. However, if he is older he must obtain approval from his country of origin if he wishes to represent the country he has moved to. Sivivatu moved not as a 14 year old nor as a 15 year old, but older. Rokocoko was 5 years old. he is in the Jerry Collins category as being what I believe to be a legitimate All Blacks for entering NZ at an age below 13. So next time don't make up lies to try to dig tourself out of a hole.
