  1. haha dehpm… search rugby, its quite popular…
    and luke is the man, back smashing a prop… priceless

  2. Tell me this.

    Is Luke a better 1st 5 or 2nd 5???

    …and dont mention Mr.Carter in ur answer!!!

  3. what was really cool was mcallister picked that guy up by his leg and just started running and driving him, pretty funny, watch his free hand, looks like hes running regular

  4. He got smashed around at sale. Me thinks the defence in the guiness premiership was too tough for him ;]

  5. The similar colour of the jerseys are a disgrace. How did it ever go ahead without someone saying "seriously, what's up with the jerseys?"

  6. @25pappy i remember thinking that at the time. i assume that for sponsorship reasons NZ were required to wear this jersey once in the tournament, but they could have chosen a better game for it.

  7. anything to try beat the all blacks…..make there scotland home strip similar to the all blacks away jersey! France did it to our black jersey with a dark blue.

  8. Whoever the RWC officer who does the colour matching, kitting for each match should be fired.

  9. @TheMainyak5 their name is new zealand, their nickname is the all blacks because they usually wear all black. you dont change a nick name

  10. @UHtiger yeah fuk i hope he comes bak into all blacks squad at least a bak up

    for carter and smith and hes a decent player so hopefully

  11. @UHtiger actual? i reckon slade isnt even a decent player

    cruden is better than him and whoz kahn fotuali'i never heard of him

  12. the kits thing was a joke. Scotland were not obliged to change their jerseys as they normally would be if they were the 'home' team. However, Murrayfield was technically Rugby World Cup territory for the match so that idea was out the window (the SRU did not organise the match; there were no bagpipes for the anthems for example)

    in the normal run of things, Scotland would've played in white shirts and shorts.

    besides, WTF are NZ thinking in having a change shirt of deep grey anyway?!?!

  13. Correct me if im wrong but i think it was because scotland were at home and they wanted to make sure that NZ did not wear black to give them a psycological advantage… pathetic really.

  14. @nulla38 because they ware playing at murrayfield, Scotland are allowed to choose their home strip and nz have to wear their away strip.

  15. @Altairograph well, there are several ways to tackle someone in rugby, so it's possible I suppose; it really depends on how you choose to take them down. Personally, I have seen judo throws in rugby, but most of them have been at the breakdown rather than on a man with the ball. They're just going too fast to try it, really
