There's only one genuine poach in the All Blacks, and thats Sitivini Sivivatu.....most of the time you hear poaching accusations, they're pointing the finger at players either born in NZ or who came to NZ as preschoolers.

Right on the button :)

Fair comment -- just teasing our upcoming opponents in the RWC final ;):smoke:

What an upset, Australia just got knocked out of the cup by England. I hate to admit it but England played a very good game, the Aussie's never looked comfortable in partcular the scrum where Englands forwards dominated and forced a number of penalties from the Aussie's.

Next upset is for France to beat the All Blacks, that would set this tournament alight in a great way Fiery

I wonder if it is possible for both teams to lose.....

Australia was atrocious but England won it on a lot of Aussie self inflicted penalties. True about the dominate English forwards.

I think France could do it, New Zealand have a habit of chocking on big games. What I find silly is that France, the World cup host are not playing in France!!

Keith,

Thats because France lost to Argentina in the opening game.

If France had won they would have topped their group as winners and played their Quarter Final in Paris - cos they lost they finished as runners up and have to play in Cardiff tonight.
