I couldnt hold you to that. Over here a contract requires "offer" AND "acceptance" so, not only are you "off the hook", you were never on it.
If you're ever over here, look us up.

Ganmain Tony · #32 18-10-11, 12:45

Thanks Lynn and Ken. Wouldnt expect anything less than that level of graciousness from you blokes. Good stuff.

Makes me and the way I am coming to terms with the result seem appalling.

ad nauseum etc, etc.

Next time I over the ditch.....will do & would be honoured....and I will buy the beer.

Lynn Eades · #33 19-10-11, 02:53

Only one for me. The rest must be for Ken. He's a CMP man. My only CMP stuff is all to do with carriers.

Ken Hughes · #34 19-10-11, 09:13

I would look forward to meeting you Tony,regardless of the beer,still it will be good to swap a few lies etc and compare notes on our CMPs

The French played well, and the A B's were lucky to win. They made it by the smallest possible margin (by the skin of their teeth!)
So thats;
Two to South Africa,
Two to Australia,
Two to New Zealand and,
too bad to France.

D Ellery · #36 23-10-11, 23:17

Boy that was close ae Lynn. Just shows how unpredictable the French can be. After playing some woefull rugby throughout this tournament they then came out last night and took it to the AB's. Credit for the passion they played with but joy for the World cup winners. The nations

today

Lynn Eades · #37 23-10-11, 23:55

Can you imagine what the country would have been like today, had they lost?
I hear the Ferns won in Perth, also by 1 point

D Ellery · #38 24-10-11, 07:00

Lynn 1 points fine by me, boy I'd take half a point if it came to it. Yes I'm sure the mood of the country would have been a tad sad this morning if that last penalty kick by the French had of gone over. We could clearly hear the fireworks and ships horns going off out here. Wonder if they would have lit the wicks if the French had won lol. Anyway its been a fantastic tournament, great atmosphere not just at the games but all over the place. I've had my Carrier at 2 events lately and have meet alot of International fans filling in time between games, all of them having a ball !

Lynn Eades · #39 18-10-15, 01:07

Well it's getting serious again.
Very happy to beat the French by such a margin.

I have enjoyed watching the quality play by the other teams from around the world. The game seems to be gaining in popularity. Great to watch top skills!

Ganmain Tony · #40 19-10-15, 10:56

Dont worry Lynn... Im watching with keen interest.

Just havent got any fingernails left after last night...

Lynn Eades · #41 19-10-15, 11:49

Your guys were cutting it fine.

Watched part of a rugby match the other day, I was very impressed by the referee skills and the fact that the players accept his judgement. Something soccer players should take as an example

Believe it or not: soccer referees have been injured and killed(!) by angry players.

So the game IS growing in popularity then?

(I said this because Hanno watched some of it)

Well, except for the Scots baying for ref Joubert's blood over one particular decision!

Lynn Eades · #45 25-10-15, 22:18

Go the All Blacks! One to go!

It's looking like

Without googling, Does anyone know who the reigning Olympic Rugby champions are?

Tony Wheeler · #46 26-10-15, 00:50

'bout time we met in a World Cup final Lynn! Should be a cracking game.

Lynn Eades · #47 31-10-15, 07:01

Loaded un sportsman like riddle:

What do you get if you take the "AB" out of Wallabies?

Up early in the morning are we, Tony and Kenny????

Ganmain Tony · #48 31-10-15, 13:37

Puma's and Boks are done...

Now its just us...

vs

Go the boys in Gold.

Richard Farrant · #49 01-11-15, 00:41

All quiet in Australia

Lynn Eades · #50 01-11-15, 00:48

What can I say? Today is the AB's day.

The whole country is smiling.

I thought the Wallaby Captain was very honourable

Ganmain Tony · #51 01-11-15, 01:43

I was too gutted to say anything last night. Geez I thought we were going to get it halfway through the second half.

Better team won - full marks to the All Blacks.

Very proud of our blokes

Tony Wheeler · #52 02-11-15, 21:32

Well it pains me to say this but there's no getting around it: Congratulations All Blacks on a well deserved win.

Full credit to our blokes too: Wallabies fairytale denied in the end but they sure did Australia proud. Can't ask more than that.
