When is the final?
Shouldn't you have found that out when placing your bet?

Erm, no

why would I

I saw the odds and saw the chance of making a few quid

it's a sport I have never played, nor shown much interest in,

so in short

no
I mean shouldn't you have sussed out when the final is.
again, why?

Errrrr, to know if your bets come in.

The key to this is stopping Habana, if that is actually humanely possible. The lad is a machine.

I agree, but the key is probably stopping the things that feed him....like their forwards and most of their back line...oh and the odd wayward pass from the defence here and there..

Win your line outs and keep possession. Make sure your kicks find touch. Easy......wish it were. Power alone won't beat the Bocks. Everybody will have to be on top game.

Lewsey out now it seems. Tough break for the lad. Hopefully whoever comes in will be champing at the bit.[/url]

I hope that he will go for Tait on the wing and Hipkiss at outside Centre, with Farrell on the bench.

Although I am a fan of Cueto, he is currently out of form.

Against the Boks I hope we have the sense to put Danny Hipkiss in.

More than any other back in England, when he is tackled he still moves forward and creates time and momentum for the forwards to make ground - and his tackling is several levels above any of our other centres.

We will need both against the Boks.

It won't be a pretty game, but it might just be beautiful.

I'd be quite happy for Mr Dean Richards to put the ball up his jumper from the kick off and not release it until the 79th minute for some unsuspecting hero to pop over a drop goal..........

From a Kiwi I know and saw today ( after telling me we've no chance against the Boks) :

Q: Whats the difference between the All-Blacks and a tea bag?
A: The tea bag stays in the cup longer!"

Heard it before but I laughed; he's a courier driver and one of the biggest humans I ever saw; six-feet-eight tall and about a metre wide across the shoulders. Couldn't come one day so he sent his younger brother in. He's exactly the same. What the fxxk do they feed em on over there?
