That's right, it can only be good if it's against New Zealand....how silly of me....

I was at the 1999 Semi Final.....funny as hell....the KeeWees were the most bratty fans I have ever encountered in rugby anywhere on that day.....

Even know of one group setting fire to a French flag, being held by a Frenchman....

No hair pulling here, lads.boom...boom

Seems Sam Burgess is doing rather well since they started playing him at flanker.

Sam Burgess put in a man-of-the-match display as Bath beat London Irish to move up to second in the Premiership.

George Ford kicked four penalties for the hosts but the Exiles led at half-time thanks to Tom Court's touchdown.

However, tries from Leroy Houston, Jonathan Joseph and Matt Banahan after the break re-established Bath's lead.

Cross-code star Burgess, playing at flanker, then went over for the bonus-point try, before Semesa Rokoduguni and Blair Cowan traded late scores.

Burgess, who started in the pack for the first time in Bath's win over Newcastle Falcons a fortnight ago, was again impressive in both defence and attack, and capped his excellent performance with a third Premiership try.

Saders 29 - 15 over the Blues....

Then why did he start at centre and they persisted with there until the last few games, seems a waste of time to me if he was always going to be flanker.
