Btw, ManusXavi, do you only follow Rugby and Football or do you follow Cricket as well? New Zealand having a pretty good team there now as well which I think can go all the way in the WC.

Just Rugby and Football ae. Occasionally take a look at the Australian International V8 Supercars and NASCAR.

This video might scare you. This Haka was from the weekends Rugby league. Imagine if Barca and Real did this.

Do not like this one at all. I think the Haka is very impressive but here it makes them look like some average bullies with their stupid pushing.
Just keep some distance.

Agreed this is just awful, it defeats the whole purpose of the dance acting as the intimidation.

Referee mucked up and awarded rugby unions first own try (well first that I have ever heard of).
I'm not sure i'll see this ever again

Jeff Wilson will always be my rugby hero. A great All Black. The 3rd highest try scorer

Greatest rugby team on the planet has arrived in the USA to a beautiful sunset in Chicago

I'm a bit embarrassed by this. I personally see this as an insult from the New Zealand media toward the USA.

You mean the guns part?

You mean the guns part?

Yeah. I mean I know Americans are love their guns but this just seemed like an insult toward Americans

 

[ManusXavi]

I can't decide if the All Blacks will beat USA by more or less than 57 points. (betting)

The real question is: Will you get gunned down after the game?

The real question is: Will you get gunned down after the game?

or before the end. On that note I might click 'less than 57 point victory margin'. On a serious note USA are being quoted as 'the sleeping giant of rugby'.
The USA has a million people that play it, I was quite surprised to read that.

New Zealand All Blacks 74 - 6 USA. I'm feeling quite depressed. I supported USA and they didn't do too badly for the first 60 minutes. What depresses me is that 2 times early in the game, the USA got a penalty when they were about 15m from the tryline but instead of attempting for a try (5 points + a possible 2 points) they went for the shot for goal (3 points) . The reality is there is no point for a team like the USA to take the opportunity of 3 points as they were extremely unlikely to keep up with the All Blacks on the scoreboard. Mose well entertain the fans and attempt to score a try.
