    @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!"?

    @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.

      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?

        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

              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.

                I thought Bulldusta was around 2006+. Was obsessed with large dutchmen wasn't he?

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

                                      I was more concerned at a journalist not being able to spell a name he's got right in front of him.

                                          You mean he was part of the collective team that shit the bed last time don't you? Though I di tend to think (like you) Havili will be his replacement, got a bit of a kicking game and played a bit with RMo and Ioane.
