The 2003 All Blacks had a few better individual cheaters.......I mean players....... but this side is stronger across the park IMHO.

Likewise if the Poms had a Martin Johnson and a Jonny Wilkinson in their squad they would win for sure.

I think Ant's ignoring me, or popped out for some tramadol

They had attracted a label as "chokers" yes, and it was completely and utterly disrespectful to the teams that had played and beaten them in my humble and seldom wrong opinion.

Ahhh... Couldn't find them under bottlers

That's highly disrespectful of you... You're basically saying nobody else (incl. England) were deserving winners in those years!

There's always an element of luck involved

In all seriosity I'd say '91 wasn't a choke as that was an old team still coasting on '87 laurels and past their best; '95 was a choke quite literally with players throwing up before and during the game; '99 most definitely a choke with a good bit of arrogance thrown in; '03 not a choke as England were clearly the best team then; '07 a choke of epic proportions thanks to those French fucks!

So really only 2 1/2 chokes.

In all seriousness I'm legit not a good supporter and get way too wound up by it all.

Truth be told I'll get more joy being able to watch and appreciate as a neutral the SA v Wales game than I will 80 min of stressing over the AB's.

I just like us being underdogs, with no real expectations and we have a loopy coach who is as mad as a bag of cut snakes.
Makes it much more relaxing to watch.

Until there's 5 minutes on the clock and we are leading by 6 points, of course.

Anyone who doesn't have ice-water running through their veins would be losing their shit at that point whoever they were supporting.

What are the game times?

15:00 TST

Heavy rains in Yokohama today but forecast to be clear tomorrow so that's good for the AB's

A Kiwi walks into a bar...

Usually at this point of the joke there would be an Aussie and a Irishman in there but they've gone home already.

So what's going on in this Gay Cup thing anyway?


England Vs The AB's in a SF tomorrow?

Who's in the other SF, and when is the Super Gay Final?


Don't suppose the Italians are still in it, figure they've been gangbanged or ran away already.

It's gonna be a one-sided humiliation... Two tries a piece for May and Watson.

But, hopefully the Bokks will give us a bit of competition in the final - a bit boring to go through a tournament without being tested otherwise...

Yes @15:00; Wales v SA same time tomorrow; next Sat...

Now fuck off back to the poofball threads!
