Argentina leading 27-13 at half time. Never get a better chance of recording their first ever win over South Africa.

Regrettably its turning into a rout at Eden Park. New Zealand/Fiji/Samoa/Tonga have ran in three tries with Quade Cooper in the sin bin and are leading the Qantas Wallabies 34-6. New Zealand/Fiji/Samoa/Tonga are a hateful lot. The barracking that Quade Cooper got from the home crowd from the outset was disgusting. They’ll get their comeuppance in a few weeks when they won’t have home advantage in the World Cup.

Isn’t Quade a kiwi?

His parents are from New Zealand and he was born there. His family moved to Brisbane when he was just a few years old and he’s been there ever since.

Won’t be the same at all without Richie!

Good tournament but lacks the soul , passion & travelling culture of its northern counterpart .

Just higher quality then Tassotti

The Aussies are getting their arses handed to them.

You care more about this than the aussies

It certainly looks that way.

Oh we care. Make no mistake about it, we’re hurting right now.

Battered and bruised and generally concussed. I know only a small portion of Oz gives a shit about union but that was shambolic stuff.

Nope .real aussies dont.we care about League

Just the bogans, which is a considerable portion of the population to be fair.

Cheers bro

Did you see the woeful tv figures the stick hurling was getting

I didn’t, from BARB?
