Well he confirmed it with he TMO in fairness who agreed the YC. Harsh alright. France wouldn’t have scored a try if they were there til tomorrow though
Fuck sake Dan you’d see that 100 times in a season without even a hint of a penalty. A case of a referee wanting to be seen to be able to protect NZ players.
[quote=“dancarter, post: 790080, member: 122”]Really? They didn’t react after the first defeat! They have come out today to keep the score down, and have done it successfully in fairness to them. But have made no effort to win the game. NZ have been shite. Carter terrible couldn’t tell you last time he missed 4 kicks at goal.
In hindsight was poor bet alright. But 6/1 was worth a nibble[/quote]
The first match was relatively close though and the French put in a good performance. The second week was an embarrassment.
Did you catch any of the Samoa - SA game yesterday. Although Samoa shipped a beating they played some scintillating rugby.
That red card was pretty scintillating too.
3 penalties in one.
Tacking man with out the ball
High Tackle
Not wrapping arms
Yeah - I don’t think he can have any complaints. He made some fairly hairy other tackles too. Big Unit.

ive no interest in the practice that is rugby football but i understand that there is some bizarre rivalry bordering on hatred between the white, afrikaaner South African team and the ethnic polynesian side from Samoa
India with a stunning and at several stages a very unlikely win,lovely! 
Best team in the tournament won for sure, but England could have won yesterday all the same. Hope you did well on it WYT.
England choked big time at home,127 to chase down and cruising! Then along comes Sharma with back to back wickets on Englands solid partnership and that was all she wrote!
Philadelphia Phillies 5/6 to beat San Diego tonight.
Two average enough teams hovering around .500 against each other, but I think the fact that Cliff Lee is the SP for the Phillies makes this good value. He has been very good so far this season, posting a strong stat line and racking up wins in spite of his teams poor offense. He is coming off a good outing last time out against Milwaukee, is in a blistering run of form and importantly, will be really wanting to keep the hot hand as he will almost certainly be traded before the deadline.
The game is in PETCO Park, the definition of a pitchers ballpark and he goes against a mediocre Padres batting attack. Eric Stults, who goes for the Padres is no slouch either, but Lee is superior. The Padres bullpen has been erratic recently and counteracts Stults’ strength when pitching at PETCO. Lee’s ability plus the Phillies better bats mean they should get the win on the road

By your avatar alone, I’m guessing your watch cost more than most people’s on here cars. I don’t understand most of what you’ve written, but I think I might show some brass balls and get on this.
Lucky 15 on Davy Condon rides in Kilbeggan tonight.
6.00 Honourable Emperor
7.00 Soweheard
7.30 Fiesty Lass
8.00 Six Stone Ned
Horses trained by Meade & Elliott so the combo’s are appealing.
Good man. It’s fuck or walk, and there’s a lot of cunts out there putting their jogging gear on

Fuck off Blake. This shit costs us actual money.
Yeah well luckily enough I had monopoly money on them myself so I’m not too bad. Dick.
In fairness, it wasn’t like it was a terrible pick, just really bad luck. They led 3-0 going into the bottom of the 9th. SD drove 2 runs in, then got the tying score on a fucking passed ball to force extra innings and win on a walk-off. You can’t get more unlucky than that

what relevance is any of the text in bold to this thread?
It’s a summary of why I was posting the selection. Nothing worse than someone putting something up without giving some supporting thoughts or reasoning, especially for a sport such as baseball, where depth of knowledge would be thin enough among the wider audience.
As you may have noticed, the paragraph was helpfully separated from the actual selection so as not to vexate those with ADHD or learning difficulties, like yourself.

Phillies are unbackable all season with this offence, brown is stone cold and when howard pulled out pregame their main rbi producer over the last few games was gone. In fairness to you its all valid advice but lee was overdue a loss and while bemoaning the padres pen you ignored the utter uselessness that papelbon has become known for which lost them the game. Again. Theres far harder parks to score in than petco also.
Ah yeah he’s totally gone to shit, don’t know what all the trade talk around him is over, Red Sox and Indians are apparently very interested. I can’t agreed with you Re PETCO though. Year on year, its consistently ranked as one of the worst places to hit, which I thought might have negated the relative shitness of the Phillies lineup. PETCO is currently running as the 3rd hardest park to hit in and is the hardest to get EBHs, so I don’t think you could say there are that many harder places. Interestingly, while its still a bitch to hit in, the HR rate is average enough
Ball flies through the warm air i suppose. Never realised it was that poorly ranked.
