RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks
-
I don't know what bullduster means, but too many negative Nellie's on here, we have a team that can win it and we're in good form. Be excited!
I also love comments like "we will only win the cup if we get really lucky". Such a nothing comment, if we don't win then it's "I told you so" and if we do it's "we got lucky". Psh to that, luck plays a role in every knockout tournament. Put your balls on the block and make an actual call.

Name a winner other than 1987 that didn't have their fair share of luck.

don't know what bullduster means
You around in 2003?
Bulldusta was a poster who went all in on the ABs crushing the away legs of the Tri Nations. Given there were plenty of us, err them, picking that Mitch's Voyagers were about to get smashed. Super enthusiastically so.
"Just trust me."
Man was right. Ran up fiddy in both games.
Didn't hang for the RWC though ...
Edit: was that 2007?

@booboo Was he around at the same time as the guy who used to post things like "Australia will win because the players are just so muscly, muscly, muscly, muscly!"?

Yeah I picked abs by 1-8 , same as been mentioned , heart not head.
France is actually a team I enjoy watching, if we can’t win the tournament I hope they do.
They are the only other allowable option.

Argentina also ok
Any country that prioritises rugby, beef and wine is ok with me.
Except SA obvs, they’ve had enough wins to last them another 40 years

Tell me about the semi final ...

@Tim don't recall that. And I need to look up when those matches happened, because I don't think I was Ferning in '03 ...
Off to Google.

OK. Something wrong with my memory.
I'd have sworn Bulldusta was the 03 3N ... but I also wasn't on the Fern until 2004 after I moved to Aus.
If anyone can point out my errors I'd appreciate it.

Jordie Barrett didn't train yesterday. Has a calf issue
Even though he was part of the collective Barrett whanau shitting the bed last match I fucking hope he's right for this match and we don't go into it with Havilli.

According to these French articles, it's his left knee. He did train, but not with the group.

Stormy's French isn't too shabby. Big boot: 'son puissant coup de pied'!
