[QUOTE="36crazyfist, post: 153137"] YEAH!!! WHERE'S CHABAL???!!! Or is he coach, manager, psychologist and media realtions manager (among other things of course)? [/b][/quote] lol. the team i chose is pretty fair. anyways... i couldnt really make up my mind for alot of those positions, pretty much cos the NH sucks. poor guys wont even make the final i think. but in saying that, i really hope you guys get better. I am not a fan of whitewashes. As long as Shane Williams is in a Northern Hemisphere side, you cant really go wrong. [/b][/quote] :lol2tn: It's idiots like you that tend to make me feel spite instead of commiseration, we sucked so bad that you're on your way home? Time to man up methinks. The Shane Williams bit cracks me up especially, have you ever watched the NH's leagues? [b]From those awards can we deduce that the IRB is biased towards the SH?[/b] [/b][/quote] not really. think it's the same as the south africans crying foul over the small number of aussies that's been cited through out the tournament. it's down to personal bias. if you look at the latest IRB nominations for player of the year you see that only one NH player is in there. that again will say a lot. you could have had a valid point, if the majority of judges on the panel were from the SH, but there is only 4 from the SH, and 6 from the NH. end of the day, i think that england and france saved it for the NH, especially after losing one pool game, and the coming back to defeat pool winners, with new zealand obviously being the favourites for the tournament. says a lot about the character of those teams. the england team was hammered by the media, and a lot of fans. but, they just carried on and now with a big smile, saying a well deserved big f*** you to all those who didn't believe they could make it to the semis...
