Quarter Final 4: New Zealand v Argentina

That was edge of the seat stuff for a bit last night - not only did the Pumas stop us scoring, then score themselves … but they had the lead on us and created some very nervous moments for All Black fans last night. Were we going to be knocked […]

A good team, not a great team. Argentina have a willing forward pack but they leave rather a lot to be desired when it comes to attack. Wonderful supporters, and it will be fantastic to see them in the four nations next year. I will eat my hat […]

Ferdy says:
Putting aside the Daniel Carter heartbreak, let’s not forget the All Blacks have been formidable for 100 years (and Dan has only been around for about eight of those). This is a team sport.
In saying that, I still think our major final will be the semi. Whether it is […]

Not this time Australia. Four more years, boys.
Ferdy’s pick: quarter finalists.
Slugso says :
Whoah, that was succinct on the Boss’ part! Good team, not a great team … yet. The Reds’ success seemed to give Dingo Deans a blueprint for the Tri Nations, but that won’t work in the World […]

Ferdy says:
The All Blacks main threat. This time last year without the likes of Brussouw and Du Preez they were pretty wretched. However, they’re once again nearly at full strength, and right in time for World Cup finals time too. Can they play attacking rugby? Not really. But the […]

Oh the cliches I could start blabbering on about. Which French team will turn up on the day? The great French flair. The Gallic charm. Blah blah blah.
France aren’t going to win it this time. They have fallen apart at the seams with a coach that makes Peter de […]

Ferdy says:
An All Black kit, dwarf throwing, extreme sports, royal indiscretions, ball tampering, intimidation of vulnerable girls in hotel rooms. Oh, and dour rugby. England sure do know how to make friends in New Zealand.
But putting aside all the off field shenanighans, England find themselves once again on the […]

Wales have been so good in this world cup with one of the hardest pools. They should have beaten South Africa (we dare not mention the name of that *red head* ref). Warren Gatland has been able to do what several coaches for Wales have not been able to […]

Ferdy says:
Ireland have been my dark horses (as well as my office sweepstake team) for quite some time.  They showed what they can do when they snatched the grand slam away from England earlier this year. They’ve been rugby innovators in 2011 inventing the ‘choke’ tackle.
With Brian O’Driscoll at […]
