You can always count on a reaction from you kel at the mention of Cohen's name. Are you sure he didn't have his way with your sister at some stage? ? Not possible, I don't have a sister! I gather even union supporters, fed on a diet of poor players, have turned against him.

BTW - NSW by 1 in a tight match. Have you blokes in the old dart ever watched any of the early soo series on dvd? Watch soo whenever I can which isn't all that often sadly. I never fail to be blown away by it. It is the highest standard rugby of either code in the world. Anyone care to disagree?

Yeah I do. Last night's match, although it went down the the wall and was won by 1 point, was a pretty shithouse game. Lots of dropped ball and missed tackle from both teams. Hopefully game 2 will be a better spectacle...and a better result Kel, I reckon the Bledisloe Cup between Australia and New Zealand rivals the SoO. Both games can be dull but I find country vs country to be more enjoyable than state vs state.

Hopefully game 2 will be a better spectacle...and a better result By the standards of previous soos the game was cod ordinary imv. I think I'd have to agree with you Thomas, for what that's worth. The SOO was at its peak in the 80s & 90s I think. I hang out for rl tests more than the SOO. Now if only GB could win a series. The peak for mine at the moment is the bloodyslowcup (also known as the Bledisloe). Now if only Australia could win the flamin' thing back! I think it also wins for having the biggest cup!

Yeah Baz, although I spent 2 years in NZ getting bullied at school because I was an aussie (with a very lippy mouth, I might add), so when Australia actually beats NZ in RU it makes me immensely happy.

I never fail to be blown away by it. It is the highest standard rugby of either code in the world. Anyone care to disagree? Any explanations for why the first SOO wasn't a sell out? Surely if this is the best sport on offer fans would be fighting for the tickets rather than 1000s of empty seats! ;D

...are going over to Oz on tour. I think they are as weak, if not weaker, than the "tour from hell side". I look forward to them getting battered! They did okay against the Baa Baas. I know Oz are a step up, but the young guns look like a spirited bunch. ;D
