So, who gets to grizzle about “travel disadvantage” ?

Good thing that most of the refs will be South African. The less cheating, cockroach Australasian refs the better.

@Kobus Kitty:
You really have a problem,did an Ozzie/Kiwi take your misses?
Cos all i see is a name calling little kid,so anal about anything NZ/OZ. Grow up,down right pathetic
21 Dec 2009, 22:16 pm
@Hurricane: ag, you love thetacklers comments, so suck it up and enjoy kobus kitty too
21 Dec 2009, 22:19 pm
@rangerman:
Both in the same pathetic boat if you ask me Ranger.
At least Tackler dont bring out the childish name calling posts,as Kobus the puddy cat does
21 Dec 2009, 22:27 pm
@Hurricane: both in the same boat but tackler is nicer?
not a bit biased are you hurricane?
wind up merchants both for sure, but i always have a chuckle when i hear a kiwi having a go at a saffa poster who is winding them up, when tackler winds up saffas all day, every day without a whisper from our kiwi brethren.
banter. surely thats all it is?
21 Dec 2009, 22:29 pm

i must hit the sack, little miss ranger arrived 72 hrs ago and i have to go gaze at her for a half hour before i sleep.

21 Dec 2009, 22:29 pm

@Boerboel: 17 – Howzit Boerboel,
Just a quick hi and bye.
Did you watch any of the crici? Felt we should have won that one. Not sure why they sent Ntini to bowl that last over. So stupid I thought. Should have been De Wet.
Ag, well have to forget that one and think of the next here in Durbs. That is if the weather holds out.
21 Dec 2009, 23:18 pm
@carol: 16 – Hi Carol, Thanks and anwered back
Okay that is me out of here now.
Night all.
21 Dec 2009, 23:19 pm

21 Dec 2009, 23:43 pm
Seasons greetings to one and all! I have enjoyed the fishing this year, but now it is time to catch some real ones
22 Dec 2009, 00:50 am
@rangerman:
Didnt say that Tackler was nicer,if anything you could get from my post is he is more mature.
But anyway congratulations Ranger for the new born
22 Dec 2009, 03:22 am
@Hurricane:
Kobus is spot on the “kissing cousins” look after each other, always have.
22 Dec 2009, 04:19 am
I keep thinking this is a saffa blog, but all we find are whinning skinny whites. Come on guys dont you have a life!
Go back to you Kiwi blog: httpP?keh?takeitinthearse .com
22 Dec 2009, 11:22 am
congrats Ranger.
22 Dec 2009, 11:52 am
Who changed the flight schedule? The airlines or the teams?
22 Dec 2009, 21:54 pm
@Connag:
Yawn,do i hear a baby crying?
@KevinRack:
Will i keep thinking New Zealand is a country for Kiwis but it dont stop the South Africans from living here,but no problems with that,mostly nice people.So saying that i have every right to visit this blog.
About the website address you have added us to look at,i am not going to fall for that,we all know its your own website,rather give Keo the hits instead of your *** fantasy website,so enjoy
23 Dec 2009, 02:14 am
@Hurricane:
Hurricane you have every right in the world to enjoy the blog, in fact over the years you have been a great contributor and what is a blog without diverse opinion.
There is one big common factor here and that of course is that we are all passionate about our rugby and our team. At the end of the day I will always roll a stone out of the path of a rugby man no matter where they are from (even a Kiwi)
.
However, having said that I still am of the opinion that the Kiwi refs look after the Aussies and the Aussie refs reciprocate. After all you are virtually a state of Australia. I think the South Africans would be sympathetic to a team from Namibia and interpretations would be similar.
No mate you guys have had a leg up since inception.
23 Dec 2009, 02:56 am
@Connag:
Thank you Connag.
Its a shame that you think NZ is in this position cos of reffing. You dont understand the rivalry between NZ and OZ,sorry but it goes alot longer than NZ and the Boks. To me i love seeing Oz getting beaten.
About us virtually being a state of Ozzie,you are so far from the truth,OZ is a state of NZ,an easy mistake i know but please i future can you get it right.

@Hurricane:
Lol I saw a postcard in NZ showing the North Island, south Island and the West Island, being Australia, thought to myslef cheeky Kiwis.
SA teams had great rivalry with SWA (Namibia) but wouldn’t stop them getting a leg up from the SA refs.
Too many of your sports and commerce are interlinked with Australia not to have a bias in favour of each other…”its only natural” as Neil Finn would say.
Ugly thread on the trophy issue!
23 Dec 2009, 03:55 am
Haha
Neil Finn,well done Connag.
You have you views mate and all is good.I hope you dont believe that NZ rugby has gotten where it is cos of refs being more so helpful to NZ than SA. I believe when we have won against SA, we have been the better team and vice versa of course,proof in the pudding this year, SA were streets ahead of NZ.
Remember though all refs are human,even Barnsey
23 Dec 2009, 08:37 am
Cheers Hurricane to you and yours have a good one.
23 Dec 2009, 09:16 am
@TheTackler:
The Chiefs. As chiefs they should have given a better fight against the Boer criminals but instead showed their weakness in Africa by falling on their backs and crying. It was a shame to see such big men cowering in defeat at the hands of superior warriors.
Will the Africans allow the softer Island nations a fair chance to show that they are not artificial in size and can do battle as real men without using the slaves brought from the Polynesian poverty stricken lands.
24 Dec 2009, 03:45 am
@Malema:
“without using the slaves brought from the Polynesian poverty stricken lands.”
What do you mean by that?
By the way,those superior warriors lost to Crusaders,highlanders and the Brumbies in 2009
28 Dec 2009, 09:24 am
i guess the experts will favour the sharks and stormers to wave the SA flag in the next super 14 and the bulls to be in the middle section of the pool and the lions and cheeters to fight for the wooden spoon?
But come May they will all have to start making up excuses again for why the bulls are top off the table and the Sharks not in the semi finals!
28 Dec 2009, 09:28 am
@Hurricane:
dont waste your energy on Malema, he is as dumb as his namesake
Have your say
