I think it just came down to the fact that in the first half, the irish probably played better than even NZ do, and the conditions were classic Lansdowne road, piss poor with swirling winds and rain - something I suspect the wallabies aren't used to! England were pretty crap again, except that Josh Lewswey had a zen like game at fullback, without him we'd have been 25 point down atby -qwerty- - Other Sports
Burke iis a class act, so key for you guys in the past few years. Jonny won't ever play properly for england again - he's had about 10 unrelated injuries since 2003, and he's not played for england since the world cu final I still maintain that if he'd stayed fit, he'd still be the world's best fly half, Dan Carter or not. His kicking was better than Carter'by -qwerty- - Other Sports
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm sure sydney isn't rascist, I only meant that you only hear the bad news - so all we in europe hear is the riots, nothing welse, so I guess the paper here could seize the opportunity, hell they'll jump on anything!by -qwerty- - Other Sports
Giteau looks very good at 9, though I guess we'll have to see how the final couple of tour games go. Not convinced about Rogers at 10, he doesn't boss the game well enough. Australia are so lucky, they've probablty got a backs division as good as NZ's, and no one can touch Latham at full back, he's just excellent. Tuiqiri is a big strong lad, and was good against waby -qwerty- - Other Sports
I've also heard a lot of stuff about rascism in Sydney, there was that ruck a while back of course. But I don't mean to suggest alll sydney-ites are like that, cos I'm sure they're not! YTou get scrotes in all parts of the world is all.by -qwerty- - Other Sports
This weekend, I'm expecting a better England performance - its exciting to see Lewsey back where he belongs, on the wing. Also in Cueto we've got a world class finisher. I think what's hurt us (England) a lot is the key partnerships aren't formed at all. For example, you can't expect to be reat when you've got an inexperienced scrum half like Perry (not just inby -qwerty- - Other Sports
Hey guys, any rugby (union!) fans in the house? Thought it was worth posting a thread to just discuss world rugby, and basically just drool at how ridiculously talented those Kiwi boys (well, kiwis + any island within 500 miles....they're not fussy over residence) are! The world cup next year is gonna be a cakewalk I fear. They beat the nearest contenders France 47 - 3 at the weeby -qwerty- - Other Sports

If you've read any of Flemming's Bond, you'll realise that the character that Brosnan or even Dalton played wasn't really how he is in the books. He's basically pretty cold, and pretty scared at times. He's not really this super hero type guy at all. That said, Craig, from the trailers and reviews seems to have nailed it. He's got a far harder edge than Brby -qwerty- - Off-Topic

^^ what he said. The human body can only operate properly for so long before it starts to tell you something's wrong. Tiredness is one of those indicators, so 20 hours shifts - could you work them? Its nothing to do with conditioning your body to stay awake longer, its about how long the body can physically keep going.by -qwerty- - Off-Topic

The reported figure is pretty terrifying. The Independant (london broadsheet) suggested that the lancet was perhaps not the respected acaemic publication it once was, but the figures nonetheless seeem to have a solid basis.
