Sheek, I have disagreed with you on many things but this time I will not. I would also like to see some of the current league stars have a crack at Union. I also think league is minor on the world scale. I was at the raiders leagues club on Friday night when the match was on and there may have been 15 people at the top end of estimations watching the game. The same number of people were also watching the crusaders v reds game earlier. Hemjay, William Web Ellis has looked nice in the Aussie cabinet twice, nice in South Africa's cabinet twice and even nice in Englands cabinet. What I am saying is that the All black side has been rated the best side in the world across all of these years and yet failed to win more than one world cup. Lets not get to excited about the RLWC trophy that is contested by so few nations and comes down to one game as you as an all blacks supporter should know this better than the rest of us. Sunshine coaster, please enlighten me as to why the odds were stacked in Australia's favour???? Do the kiwi's play in the same comp, do they have their own domestic comp that supports the NRL team. How are they disadvantaged? The Australian team had very few players who play together each week so surely it caanot be this?

I definately think that there has been a fresh attitude and direction in the way that the Brumbies play the game. I have been a member for a number of years now and have seen more promise in this team than I have done in a number of years. It is great to see players want to come back to the Brumbies and I am sure that there will be a lot more to talk about in the years to come.

Lure of another World Cup too much to ignore
