Berger is brilliant. he will most definitely go down as one of the greatest back row forwards of his generation. immense.

Agreed. Let's hope he gets a ban.

Well Marmite, your wish has come true. Absolutley ridiculous, he was challenging for the ball and conected the Samoan by mistake. Anyway used to this one sided handling of Springboks;

SuperRugby

He went for the bloke IMO.I only saw it live and on a reply.Would be interesting to see it again.Juan Smith was also lucky he did not get cited for throwing a punch.

[kingwilly]

[Marmite the Dog]

Well Marmite, your wish has come true.

Woo hoo!

See Vickery also got bannned for his 'intentional' trip

Fucking disgrace.

The crisis-hit England camp look set to lose both fly-halves - Olly Barkley and Jonny Wilkinson

Oh joy...


Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory....

[blackpanther]

^poxy song...wait til we get the brits out of the north and we can sing amhran na bhfiann again

[BKKBoet]

See Vickery also got bannned for his 'intentional' trip

Fucking disgrace.

Agreed, that sort of behavior has no place on a rugby field. And he only gets a 2 match ban?

[Bobcock]

4 weeks for Burger is a fucking disgrace, nothing short of it.

The challenge was deemed by the referee as not even worth a yellow card. It probably was worth that but not much else.

FFS they have the opportunity to get tough in the years preceeding a tournament to lay the ground rules, but no, they decide to act like wankers during the tournament itself ridding us of one of the best players.

Nothing short of politicing and as usual they pick on the Boks.

I see the Pommies are dropping like flies. Maybe they are too scared to play against SA on Friday? I think Ashton should start demanding doctors certificates or a letter from their Mom.

[blackpanther]

boks by 50?

[Marmite the Dog]

amhran na bhfiann

You on the sauce already?

[AntRobertson]

Something tells me that the SA Vs. England game is going to be a lot closer than many people probably expect. I still expect SA to win, but lets just say I wouldn't be at all surprised if it weren't that convincing.

Amhrán na bhFiann is the national anthem of the Republic of Ireland. Although usually sung in the Irish language, a translation of the original, it is also known by its English language title, The Soldier's Song, as well as The National Anthem of Ireland (Irish: Amhrán Náisiúnta na hÉireann). The music was composed (as The Soldier's Song) by Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney, and the lyrics, a translation of Peadar Kearney's original English lyrics, by Liam Ó Rinn.

The song is regarded by many nationalists as the national anthem of the whole of Ireland, and it is therefore sung, for example, at Gaelic Athletic Association matches held anywhere on the island. Unionists, however, reject this use of Amhrán na bhFiann, and at international games played by the all-Ireland Irish Rugby Football Union team (and now also by all-island teams in some other sports) the song Ireland's Call is sung instead of, or (in the Republic of Ireland) as well as, Amhrán na bhFiann.

Press Release
International Rugby Board (IRB) Rugby World Cup 2007

Following complaints to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed to motivate themselves by performing the ‘Haka’ before their games, other nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own. The IRB Rugby World Cup 2007 Organizing Committee has now agreed to the following pre-match displays:

1) The England team will chat about the weather, wave hankies in the air and attach bells to their ankles before moaning about how they invented the game and gave it to the world, but no one appreciates them.

2) The Scotland team will chant “You lookin’ at me Jimmy?” before each of them smash a bottle of beer over their opponents’ heads.

3) The Ireland team will split into two, with the Southern half performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners march the Traditional route from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponents dressing room.

4) Unfortunately the Committee was unable to accept the Welsh proposal to form a choir and sing Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual”.

5) Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition territory, claim it as their own “Las In-Goals-Areas” and have to be forcibly removed by the match stewards.

6) Two members of the South African team will claim to be more important than the other 13 whom they will imprison between the posts. These two will then go about selecting the best parts of the pitch to settle on and claim that they have been there for centuries.

7) The Americans will not attend until almost full time. In future years they will amend the records to show that they were in fact the most important team in the tournament and Hollywood will make a blockbuster fi lm called ‘Saving Flanker Ryan’.

8) Five of the Canadian team will sing La Marseillaise and hold the rest of the team to ransom.

9) The Italian team will arrive in Armani gear, sexually harass the female offi cials and then prepare pasta dishes, which they will flog to the crowd for a fortune.

10) The Japanese will shock fans buy demonstrating how to capture a whale for scientific research buy harpooning an opposition prop.

11) The French won’t have a pre-match display and will simply hide in fear in the dressing room for the whole match.

12) The Australians will have a BBQ on their side of the fi eld and invite the opposition over before the game. The food and alcohol will be in abundance and by the start of the game no-one will remember what they came to the stadium for. After some streaking, the singing of dirty songs and the occasional chunder everyone will go home thoroughly convinced it was a bloody good night.

13) The Moroccan team will quietly pray during the fi rst half and then launch suicide attacks against the opposition after the break. Unfortunately, this strategy works well for the fi rst game only, after which Morocco is forced to withdraw from the Rugby World Cup due to lack of players.

14) Samoa will prepare a huge feast in the middle of the pitch by digging a large hole and fi lling it with burning embers. They invite the opposition over by saying, “We’d like to have you for dinner”. It’s only when the opposition get to the pit that they realize there is no meat and that they are the dinner!

Hopefully, with these policies now in place, further problems is this area of the game should cease to exists.
Regards,
Syd Miller
IRB Chairman
