Discussion: high intensity efforts

just before game start - a report from Kiwiland a little while ago suggested that the best time to score over the All Blacks was at the very beginning of a match as the effort in the Haka was such as to significantly impact on them.
Aside: I learn such a lot from "eaves dropping" on your log - the professional side of your life. T2 is a bonus!

What a fantastic rugby match - the French have earned a lot of respect with their performance. My Mum wants to put some boots on and stomp all over Richie McCaw!!! Great player, but always trying to get away with it.

And followed up by Man. City smashing Man. U 6-1. Multi-million dollar salaries certainly didn't stop the red team losing heart. Good to see an underdog triumph.

Our flight left Sydney before half time so we missed the result.

Oh, I see Australia also only managed a narrow win on Friday despite leading by ten points with only a couple of minutes to go.

Man City an underdog? Aren't their salaries the highest in the comp (owned by a Russian oil billionaire)

Yep Fletch, but isn't a team more than the sum of the individuals' salaries? Man. City hasn't lost at home that badly for almost 100 years!

True. And I do like seeing Man Utd lose, regardless of who beats them (sorta like Collingwood).

I don't think Collingwood would beat Manchester United at their own game.

No, Collingwood don't give up when there is a slim but present chance of a comeback.

Tall poppy bashers.Man U will still win.They got done over badly once last year and still won.I think the Eagles should do the Haka when they play the violet crumbles next
