OliBlom: but as ever they are peaking too early for the World Cup! Its worth a bet to say they won't win...

oh don't kill my joy, you might be suprised what will happen in the end as the finns say:"kerta se ensimmäinenkin on" (there's always a first time)

Except if the AB's win it in 2 years time, it will be the second time they've won it (not the first)... they won it in 1987.

I'm going to the Scotland-New Zealand match on Saturday. That should be interesting...

Late post, only just found the post....
Like any good team the ABs play on the fringe of the law most of the time...... Its up to the ref to determine if they overstep the mark. As for the sin bins the players were caught by the ref its no good bleating afterwards. Its part of the professional game to give away penalties and save tries and converstions. See the Welsh Aus game last week for the scrummage, penalty after penalty (I would also have sent the tighthead to the sinbin for constantly burrowing in or not binding!!!!! ex prop speaking). Back to the ABs and the sin bin anyone remeber the AB England match before the world cup when England did exactly the same in defence of their line, players sin binned. Mark of a good professional team play to the ref.....................
