I reckon we will lose all 3 (?) tests v NZ and Australia.

Shows that I know nothing, well done rugger boys.

Scotland have opened the scoring early on against the Argies.

7-0

Yes, really. Scotland have scored a try!

Scotland win their first ever away series... hurrah!

Gloucester need to get their finger out and sign some new players after their abject performance last year.

And I see that Ian McGeechan has surfaced again at Bath.

[cdbearsfan]

Surfaced at Bath? Must be a bloody big bath.

Brilliant display by the AB's against the Boks last night.
Shame that Bakkes Botha did his best to spoil it though. Still we won't see any more of him for a few weeks.

[VillaZogmariner]

Watched the match with a load of Kiwis last night. Fantastic performance by the All Blacks.

You're right about Botha though, dirty bastard. How he stayed on the field after that head butt is beyond me.

For those that haven't seen it -

[cheltenhamlion]

That would be the same chap who behaved like a right ****** on the last Lions tour I Believe.

[VillaZogmariner]

Well that was a struggle for the All Blacks!

[VillaZogmariner]

Am off to Australia v All Blacks this evening.

Have they decided whether to bail on the Hong Kong plan and play the Bledisloe Cup (named for a bloke from my home town) over here ?

[VillaZogmariner]

Not heard anything about it.

My second time watching Australia play live, and second time they have lost by 1 point. I may make a habit of this!

[cheltenhamlion]

Gloucester have been shite this season as I predicted. They will be closer to bottom than top this year that is for sure.

[lovejoy]

We're 75/1 to finish top and 25/1 to finish bottom (ie 3 times more likely). Big game today as we'll need to rely on the home form so need to beat the likes of Wasps. For me Redpath doesn't cut it and we have little chance of top 4 and even Heineken cup looks a big ask. Sad times but wont stop me from going to Agen in a could of weeks.
