Not unhappy
Come on Boys!
All Blacks spring make surprising line-up change for semi-final against England
Thanks Geoff
My value multi bet for the weekend on NZ TAB. A drop goal in all four matches 238/1
The Wrap: Japan’s Blossoms do rugby and their people proud
The Fugu season has just begun if you’re feeling adventurous Geoff.
Week 3 World Cup reflections: How rugby's crazy Cup just got crazier
Yes Harry lazy.
Also his inability to read the potential overlap at 33min and make a pass.
How the loss of Israel Folau has improved the Wallabies backfield
Noted the Italian’s were unhappy as they had a several players making their final appearance for the Azzuri.
It would be a nice gesture from the ABs if their jerseys were offered to the Italians.
CONFIRMED: All Blacks vs Italy, England vs France both cancelled due to Super Typhoon Hagibis
The ABs remember their losses more than their wins. France payback in the RWC15 quarters was clinical.
When the draw came out I hoped we would meet Ireland in the quarters. Interestingly many of my bullish Irish rugby mates didn’t.
The expectations and pressure at RWCs goes to another level. A level the Choker ABs have experienced at RWCs on the background expectation that their legacy and fans demand a win every match.
Can Ireland overcome the expectation to win after recent wins against the ABs, the pressure of letting their expectant fans down, the pressure of RWC knockout rugby, the pressure of never making it past the quarters against a team in payback mode?
Watched the Wales Fiji match last night a Fijian mate who commented that he prefers supporting Fiji 7s because they handle pressure much better than 15s team.
The team that can deliver under pressure three weeks in a row will win the WC.
Why Ireland will still win the Rugby World Cup

To give you an idea of how much fluids I take when playing Golf on a hot sticky day in Singapore. Pre hydrate 1-2 litres before heading to the course. Drink upwards of 6-8 litres over the duration of the round. Sandwich at the turn with lashings of salt and then some.
If you get thirsty you are at least 1.5 litres behind so drink every single hole. It’s hard to catch up.
Routinely the field always slows around 13/14th hole and this is one of the main reasons.
If you’re in a match you always know when to increase the wager at the turn by how much your opponent has drunk.
As you become more dehydrated your muscle coordination goes then your decision making and course management goes – a sure recipe for score blowout and parting with money – and slow Golf.
Even with this volume drunk you may not pee until several beers kick in (Anti diuretic hormone inhibition). You lose plenty of fluid as sweat but probably more panting.
Best rehydration is with fresh coconuts water.
Welcome to my world. Off to Bintan for a weekend round.
Watching Beaudy on his last minute breakout spoke volumes on the impact of his conditioning. He was slow and heavy – on any other day he would have been a couple of yards quicker. I contend they’re not drinking enough.
Go The Mighty All Blacks.
The battle of the hemispheres: Who's feeling the World Cup heat?
Harry.
Bender’s SKILLS in order : SMARTS, SEAM & SPEED.
Gotta love Bender’s seam running and always making the gain line.
Good to have Beaudy’s speed in the back field to cover.
Richie Mo'unga named to start alongside Beauden Barrett for All Blacks vs Boks
The players should revolt a la Les Bleus.
Whatever Cheik says do the opposite in the first half. Get a Mother of all bollocking at halftime and street the second half. It worked against Pumas last year.
What do the Wallabies need to change ahead of the Argentina Test?
David Kubler Ross’ 5 stage grief model is playing out in the range of reactions post final:
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance.
If it helps those who are struggling through the various stages I share that yesterday I reached Acceptance and I can now proclaim loudly that:
“England are World Champions of a Twice Tied ODI”.
Final outrage valid, but also a veneer for the bitter

The Wrap: The Crusaders do it once again for Christchurch
Lovely one more try for TJP
Keep it up next year
Crusaders hold off Hurricanes in thrilling Super Rugby semi-final
I want TJP to score 8 tries and Sevu to score 9 tries!

This reasonable person would contribute to a fund that would keep TJP playing Super rugby until he retires so he can score more tries.
Why I donated to Israel Folau - and why I will again
TMan let’s not forget those people in the Pacific Island Community struggling with their sexuality have been dealt a blow by IF and repercussions in this group include unacceptable suicide rates.

Hey Geoff thanks for Wrapping the whole year. I share with You and the Roar Community a Christmas Missive that my old boss shared with his staff on his retirement in Dec 2010. A Blessed Holiday Season to all.
A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
“Another year will be over very soon. If I were politically correct I would thank you for the good job done this year and would wish you a good time with your family. However I will never be politically correct, I do not need to wait for the end of the year to thank you for the good job and you can have a good time with your family at any time… My comments and wishes will be consequently a little bit different.
The tradition around Christmas has become one of the most superficial customs in our modern world because this has nothing to do with sincerity; this has nothing to do with generosity. This has to do with good consciousness and frenetic consuming. For those of you who are religious, there is no need for a Christmas tree, no need for gifts, and no need for exchanging cards. There is just a need for a reverential silence, profound meditation and an internal joy. I think that for those of you who are believers, this can be a firework of joy in full simplicity.
The move to the New Year is a myth. Time changes every fraction of second. When you have finished reading this, the world you were when you started to read it will already be gone forever. Gone forever! Keep that in mind and try to enjoy every moment of your life. There is no room for frustration, there is no room for grumpiness because the time we have is counted. Just think of what can make your day: a nice smile, a friendly attitude, an excellent joke…
Let us be down to earth. The day we leave, what will count are not our belongings or our career but the people we will have met. As colleagues, you are part of this people. You are too precious for being told banal things such as “Happy Holidays”. You are precious enough for me to be told “Thank you for being in my life”.”

A little like Premium Economy; offers something but not a lot really.
Only optimism for Wallabies fans lies with December decisions
Decades is right Moa usually English win every ten years and they’re not due till 2022 (England wins 73,83,93,02/03,12)
