Just trying to point out that nothing is nailed on or set in stone until the fat lady sings or until the referee blows the final whistle. No offence meant.

I take that as a personal insult...HTF can you compare me with a multinic troll who knows nothing about the game?Quote:

Answer to your question-1- Basically because you come across as a prick whose armchair expertise allows him to pontificate on the origins of rugby union as dating back to the roman-times:smileylaughing:Quote:

Have you learned the difference between an Irish, Welsh, Scottish or an Englishman yet. No need to answer to reply as I already know your answer.:smileylaughing:
NO, DO EVERYONE A FAVOUR AND YOU FVCK OFF, YOU ANTIPODEAN HATRACK.:aus:Quote:

Maybe it's got something to do with that Maori blood that every Kiwi pretends to have?Quote:

Robshaw gets on with playing the game... The cheating bloody Kiwi bastard spends his time, offside, in from the side, lazy running, playing the ball off his feet, hands in the ruck, lying on top of the ball while on the wrong side of the ruck, blocking defenders off the ball and arguing with the referee...
hahahaha.... Christ Betty you really are delusional if you don't think all forwards in all teams try to get away with such stuff.....
Richie is just labelled by the jealous and the bitter.
Greatest Player Of All Time*..... it's really a non debate
*apart from Gareth Edwards
JPR Williams and Phil Bennet were rather good as well from that era.
Indeed. But Gareth was a cut above everyone.......wearing red or black
Tremendous courage, but a sniveller...not in Richie's classQuote:

I don't believe there is such a thing, but if you had to made an educated guess, then it would surely be the player who has scored most points, as ultimately, that is the aim of the game.Quote:

I will admit that should we be voting for the most overrated cheat in the professional era, then outside of the French team Mr McCrow would be up there.
One thing I hate about modern day rugby is the silly sniping against great players, I hate hearing the welsh bitch about Jonny, I hate hearing the world bitch about McCaw and I hate hearing the French......
The game was always about respect and admiration of your opponents.
I mean hell, McCaw is nowhere in the legaue of Futzy in that respect (refereeing), and Futzy was the greatest captain ever.
I know GOAT is subjective and it's hard to compare players from different positions and eras but....
130 odd caps in the most physically exposed of positions, captain, great all round game and all whilst keeping a truly magnificent head of hair intact. McCaw is awesome, as was Jonny, as was Jonno, as was Rive, as was Pinetree and all the other true great.
The fact they all whine about McCaw says all about the man and the modern supporter.
as Sniveller.... get the fuck out of here..... truly classless statement..... fucking awesome player and I saw a huge amount of him live.Quote:

McCaw has developed the reading and leading of referees into a fine art. It is a skill of the modern game and Robshaw has yet to learn it.
I recently re-read Gareths autobiography and it still represents an amazing life story based in the amateur era.
Let's indulge ourselves a bit. Tribute to Gareth Edwards - YouTube
