Are we excited? Such good matchups. NZ vs France is like Super Rugby vs Top 14. I've heard some NZers say no provincial side in the world can touch the Hurricanes. Let's see which hemisphere sets the pace in this game.


Next up Aus/Ireland. Will be a tough one for Ozzie but I'm curious to see where they're at.


Then the Boks/England, the obvious big one for all of us. The chances of England pulling a fast one is remote, but you never know. The Boks will have the rust of the easier Japanese leagues on some players and of first outing as a unit since 7 months ago against them as well, some oldies that will need to prove they can still do the job, so let's see.


Then finally Argentina/Scotland, maybe not the most interesting of games but it should still be a cracker between two sides that can turn on the good stuff.


See you boys on the live chats.

I'll be there for the AB game but having the horde over for the big one so you shan't see me on the other two threads.


Actually probably gonna miss the Ireland/Ozzie game, or catch bits where i can, cos apparently its takes two hours to prepare for a braai.


Naturally, i shall deliver my ever opinionated, and mostly inaccurate, verdict afterwards.

Well damn, I may be alone on the threads then if Moz wakes up in a longboat again and Rooi loses track of time trying to light his braai as we know souties aren't good at that sort of thing. Draad and Beenieboy and Blob will probably pop up and say their usual three lines and then never be heard from again. Ah well, one must be able to entertain oneself among oneselves, it is the mark of the fully developed intellect.
