Who set up the only try the ABs scored in the semi final? Carlos.
We scored two tries but only one was allowed. Just before the intercept:
again, I'm not watching that, but from memory that was a fucking try, all fucking day!! That's given and we win by 20
@mariner4life back then it was Standard Definition

@antipodean I don't need to watch that video, i remember it well.
But that was 08 wasn't it?
2007 at the World Cup he was playing bloody well, and was still a weapon off the bench. We wanted to play him, but couldn't (even the coaches admitted it), and bringing his game off the bench would have helped enormously.

Literally nothing went right for him that day. One where you just want the ground to open up and swallow you.
His form in Super Rugby was amazeballs.

2003 was fucking Carlos' fault. Leon wasn't even supposed to playing, let alone doing the goalkicking. BUT...
Who injured Tana? Carlos!
Who was supposed to do the kicking but turned out to be a worse goalkicker than me? Carlos!
Who threw a wild cut out pass to Mortlock?.....
Is fault, Carlos!
@chris-b Yeah, but Merts was dropped in 2003 because by that stage his pre-game warm-up included visits to the Pie Factory and the brewery. Talk about fat, by 2003 he had a triple chin. Rugby Union's own version of Mr Kerosote.
Deans and Cueball had a young fella Dan Carter in their squad who turned out to to be a not bad first five. They chose to leave him sitting on the bench. I blaming Deans and Cueball for that one.

if you are even remotely suggesting that Blair is picked over AB legend Mils Muliaina then you and I can no longer converse.
@mariner4life At the time I suggested he be played on the wing due to Carlos' shonky goalkicking!

that's even more retarded than MacDonald at centre (and didn't Leon miss 2 penalties?).

Carlos looked alright nailing that one from the sideline after he scored that ripper try for the Blues v your mob. Maybe a little faith aye Agent Robbie?

On the subject of overweight people, Steve Hansen gets more and more corpulent. Someone could buy him a exercise bike to use a bit in the off season.
Joe Schmidt by contrast is as thin as a rake.

He and Foster must chew through the catering budget
Is there anything worse than a fat rugby coach yelling at you to run hills harder in preseason? fuuuuck you tubs, you could use these more than me!

Yeah, keep talking about the 2003 RWC as I don't have as many bad memories compared to 2007. In 2007 I had tickets to both the SF and final and had no interest in going to them after that game in Cardiff. :pouting_face:

@mariner4life pretty sure it's Nic Gill that would be doing any shouting about runing harder and shit...otherwise as you were.
We hadnt bought tickets, but were planning on heading to Cardiff in 1999 for the weekend...

I was there too, although incognito. I sold them to Saffers. The SF tickets went to Poms.
All the Kiwis on the Williment tours were still wearing their AB kit, even when we all seemed to end up at a bar to watch the NPC final.

my AB jersey got packed up and sent home from Poland 2 days after the quarter
And then my mates i met up with in Paris gave me a 2007 RWC edition one for my 30th...
That jersey was worn to the 2011 final, so it's all good now!
