I’m a true All Black supporter from Namibia. We do have an average fan base here, but we are outnumbered by far by public enemy No 1: Bok supporters!
Not a problem. Have been down to Cape Town to watch the 19-0 humiliation. What a day!
My problem is that we have been beaten twice in a row by them and that does not go down well – they just make sure that we never forget that.
A few questions:
1. What is the state of Richard Kahui’s injury? Our current centres are too predictable, Nonu’s threat has been neutralised.
2. Sonny Bill Williams: are we going to tie him down? We need him.
3. Our wings are pathetic! Need I say more on them?
What happen to being to the creativity of our backs? The current crop, excluding Conrad Smith, do not possess that quality.
Recommend this story.

AW, you’re a poor troll. Lack of originality and wit is your real weakness.

Aus exited at the same point but were they hot favorites? Stop diverting from the fact that NZ is a nation which chokes under pressure.
Jerry G – I’m glad you have enough time on your hands to research the past. Sadly thats all it is!! When the Wallabies crush you guys in Sydney…rest assure that I’ll be back with the full breakdown of stats.

Aussie its not the All Blacks that claim favouritism now is it. No thats a label that is lumped on them by the rest of the world. Because even though they have failed at world cups since 87 the World still recognizes them as the best team in the world due to their allround consistency. Sadly I feel you have changed your whole argument because Jerry and myself both found gaping holes in it. You have now resorted to world cups yet never mentioned anything about WCs in your original posts. Like I said clutching at straws and sadly Australia doesn’t have much to grab at at the moment. I understand your upset by the All Blacks it’s very clear however your raucous rebuttals are rather silly especially as I stated above Australia have had absolutely nothing to sing and cheer over for 6 years and counting.

Hey Aussie Wallaby, we all write some things that we later regret. Its best to realise the silliness before it goes too far. As a fellow wallaby tragic, please accept some respectful advice – quit while you’re behind.
Show and go isn’t the only one embarrassed by your posts on this thread. It’s only a game mate – not a nationalistic quest for world domination.

How good was Joe against Northland.
One thing the NPC does is help reignite the passion about playing rugby, there is something that playing for your province that a super franchise can not give you. It’s a pity that the ABs are on the plane this afternoon as I feel another game in the blue and white hoops of Auckland would’ve been ideal for Joe.
As for the Bay their first 40 against the Lions was all class and proved to be the match winner, Jamie Joseph must be rueing his non-selection of his All Blacks what a chump biggest mistake in his career to date. Letting his ego get in the way of his better judgement.
Taranaki and Hawkes Bay now that was a brutal display of forward rugby a pleasure to watch and at the end of the 80 unseperable maybe these two should combine proposals and bid as one entity for Super rugby they would be a phenomenal force almost instantly.
I’m looking forward to todays match up between two teams almost certain to be dropped from the premier division to the first division. Pride is on the line as in every match yet this one seems to have that edge due to the questions hanging over them.
Last but not least, how good are the crowds this year so far for the NPC, it’s great to see the punters out there supporting their boys. Like I said above the NPC stirs that passion just that little bit more. Kiwis can really relate to their provincial teams much more than say Naki, HB and Manawatu with the Wellington Hurricanes and a huge factor in that is because they are known as Wellington Hurricanes when in actuality they are not soley a Capital team.
