Really? The guy has lived on his reputation this year. Giteau only looks good when he has Berrick Barnes next to him, and even then his god-awful goal kicking lets him down. @upandunder:

In 2010 they are first up against the 'usually' slow starting AB's. With the Irish in good form, it could be their best chance to get a win over the AB's for many a year. I see they have the Boks at home again next Autumn, and then they have a probable/possible RWC 1/4er final against the Boks again in 2011. If they knock over the Boks at home again in 2010 they are going to fancy their chances of getting past them at the RWC. Well BOD gets his wish to try against the SH teams at home next year.

To me its diffrent to say a flanker outplayed another one. Its hard as a forward to compete one on one as it is when you are a back. Normally as a back you are marking each other.As a forward,you dont really mark each other so its hard to say your counter part out played you. Just the way i see it. @mbaxman93:
Agree

Brussow was in a South African team that was continuely on the front foot against the ABs. Most the South Africans looked better than any of the Kiwis this year but,you cant pick a player of the year on 3 games. McCaw has played and captained really will this year. BOD is a filthy player,always first player on the scene for a bit of push and shove and hair pulling. Crys when things are not going his way,you can just about see him holding back the tears. BOD is a very good player but Conrad Smith ran rings around him last time NZ and Ireland faced off. @Flametop:
