A lighter topic, I think The All Blacks, if not then South Africa, the controversial bit.. I think England will do very poorly I'm sad to say.

I was in the TAB an hour or so ago and I saw New Zealand at $1.45 and South Africa at $5.50.

Good odds on South Africa, I might have a little flutter.

My money is on NZ. Although I have to say that I'm not a big fan of rugby football. I'll maybe watch an international or an AB's game if I'm in front of the telly at the right time. I find it bit like Formula One when Schumi was reigning...predictably boring. But if you're not interested then you won't find it exciting will ya? The RWC will hopefully highlight some giant killers!

Gawd help us if the AB's lose...NZ will go into national mourning...and the kiwis will still claim they were robbed! hehe

Yeah Kiwi's make me laugh they always claim they were robbed, poisoned or the coaches fault never that they can't deal with pressure.

This said England invented nearly every sport and we get beaten every year, especially in football, main difference is we have false hope where NZ do deserve to win the World Cup they dominate world rugby every year but for one game in the world cup unfortunately.

Beats me why anyone ever thinks that Scots might be good at sports
For goodness sakes, they hold most matches at the weekends when all real Scots are hungover!!

THE musical director for the 2012 London Olympics has admitted that the ceremonial brass band 'probably won't bother' to learn Scotland's national anthem.

We are wonderful wonderful people us Scots. But with our wanderlust we have left the motherland for pastures new and left very few at home to fly the flag in our absence

france are a good bet at $8 but even more suprising Australia at $12. No suprise with England but at $20 worth an outside punt
