Who's your and why?

Mine probably include the following:

Jason Robinson, Matt Rogers - I love the very fast, fluid style of play, & these two are very good at that. Even though Rogers is a cock.

Jonny Wilkinson - Solid player. Wicked tackler, despite looking like a fag when he kicks.

Byron Kelleher - Shows moments of brilliance i.e. his breakaway run in Saturday's test.
(first name?) Sivivatu - fast gameplay again.
Doug Howlett - Good wing, I like him more than Rokocoko. And his cousin was our bouncer for a while.

Justin Marshall - Such an awesome player. Always a good performer, and he's so humble. I forget which match it was, but he was once asked what he though about a crushing defeat that the ABs had had, and he replied with "I didn't think we'd lost until I went on the field."

*---* END LIST *---*

To be honest, Dan Carter was brilliant on Saturday night, but so were a lot of players. It's just that Carter scored the points. Kelleher had a great game. So did the Welsh wing (name?)

Blah - hate to sound like some little girl but Daniel Carter was glorious. He has a really easy style - reminded me a lot of Michael Jones. I hope Carter gets VC.

is justin marshall the goodlooking brownhaired one?

He's the one with sexy streaked hair.


Does anyone else think that Marshall and Jonny Wilkinson'd make a really cute couple?

i like the really famous one with the brown hair a bit. not that keen on rugby players actually, musicians are sexier.

Carlos Spencer: because he is insane, kept on trying to do drop goals last world cup (which is very admirable, I think he ended up getting a couple too).

Definitely: he's been undervalued for ages, and I really hope he sticks around at the top.

Dan Carter is a shooting star in my opinion, he'll probably burn out like Johnny Wilkinson arguably has already (well, at least his gleam, now that everyone's realised that England is actually a really shit team :P).

and all of Argentina's 1337 rugby players! vivan las pumas!

To tell you the truth, i don't know shit about rugby, i don't mind watching it, but it makes it easier if there is some eye-candy so Dan Carter definatley takes my pick coz not only is he a pretty face.......and body, and whole package, but as he proved on saturday he can actually play rugby and play it bloody well.

George Gregan, just coz he has a malteser for a head! :lol: No seriously, he's a quick little bugger.

Sivivatu is pretty amazing, he's like the new Rockoko! Where'd he go by the way, he was real good?!

Una Tamaga.

The series has been spoiled by the fact the linesmen can't make calls from the touch judge because clive gets very upset when his boys are called for slowing the ball down and being offside.

Otherwise Jack and Williams would have had blinders, but they can't do anything about the english forwards slowing down rucks.

McCaw got targeted on the weekend and he coped fantastically.

Rokocoko didn't make the cut, Henry sent him back to Coach Gordan's Seven's Workshop to try and reignite his hunger for the ball...I think Henry felt he got lazy during the NPC...interestingly enough, the last NPC season was his first one ever.

Justin Marshall = Meg Ryan lookalike. Good player tho.

Dan Carter and Mauger are both out this week. I reckon bring back merts for one last game.

Its so cool watching Clive Woodwards team getting smashed.

Bring back Lee Stensness.

Dcarter is good, but VC.. i dont thnk so.

some players are better when they dont have the tag/responsibility of VC.

Doyou think he could perform like Ritci MCaw after getting wated the way he did.
yOu gotta hand it to Mcaw for his will power not to mention the game play..

All of them performed well. Byron Kelleher has finally got his act together... probably coz of the pressure of loosing the spot but thats good.

my 2c anyways

i rekon Sivivatu is much stronger character as compared to Rokococo. Sivivatu can tackle , Rokococo cant. But i aint no rugby guru

I rate Nick Evans...AFL punt :bowdown:
