View, we have all switched over to the other channel : the RSA thread

[HERSH]

Guys move on, you're facing the All Blacks we're facing the Boks.

Wouldn't it be a great weekend if we both win?

Think happy thoughts.

[Guest]

My happy thought is the All Blacks putting less than 60 on us

[HERSH]

It won't be that bad View.

[gregortree]

View, ok. Put that on the other thread.

[Guest]

Which one?

[gregortree]

The AB thread View.
And no, Wales will not ship 60 points. But I fear 40 to 50 is possible from ABs.
England may do not much better, so I'm not bragging here.

Saw it in an irish pub in NYC- well done australia!

kinda gutted though

[Pal Joey]

I'll pass it on mysti.

How was the trip otherwise?

[mystiroakey]

very good, ta!! amazing city, walked about 10 miles a day. love the block system- you cant get lost!!!

you guys deffo deserved that win. a kinda intense game- but you never let off the gas.. The posts on here about underestimating you lot were kinda stupid!

But it still doesnt mean england arnt moving forward.. we would have learnt from that game

[Pal Joey]

I was really surprised by that effort. I didn't think it was at all possible after the week before. England will take stock from it for sure.

Love NYC - although I sort of got lost in Brooklyn. Panicked for a while when I ran into some mean looking locals but lived to tell the tale.
