Now you all know I prefer Rugby League to Rugby Union... But - I hope your teams are enjoying their early flights home ;)

Grrr.... I now have to hope that Saints (St Helens) win on Saturday after Wigan knocked Hull out of the Grand Final

It's haka.

And you people are hijacking the rugby thread.  My nation is in pain here!

*chuckles* Forgot about the Saints, and that was bad of me, I grew up on the border of St Helens and Rainhill. ;o)

Sorry Jane.

Must say, I reckon the Haka is one of the sexiest displays on the rugby field, too. ;o)

To be fair, I really only watch
 
(And I may as well tuck it in here, instead of starting a new thread - no replies went out today because I got called in to work. Sorry for the delays, peeps.)

I watched Bathurst.  All of it.  Does that count with the sports gods?

Better you than me, Jane.  Car racing - UGH!

Totally boring.  I almost cried at the poor kangaroo on the weekend, when Mark called me into the lounge to watch the out-take.

So the Saints won last night and so did England ---- 2nd time lucky???

As I said when we were chatting earlier, Emma, I can't see how England can win because there's no way to top the heroes' welcome they got last time!

Huh.  If it was proper rugby the All Blacks would play it.

The All Blacks are wusses compared to league players!

I don't know -- that Haka can be pretty intimidating, especially the facial expressions during Kapo o Pongo. I'd be running in the other direction by the time they finished.

Rugby League?  I'm guessing from the news reports about coaches being sacked that we didn't do well in that, either.

Netball, anyone?

It was 44-0 on Saturday.... Sorry Jane

Netball final tonight, Australian friends.  (Sorry about your guys, Emma.)

Post by: Kaysea on November 17, 2007, 12:24:05 AM
Can I do the 'la la la' thingie?

Sorry guys, I'm just not into sport.

I love the soccer, and will watch aussie rules. I can even be tempted into the first five minutes of rugby (for the Haka) but that's my limit.

Netball? Pfft!  
Basketball - sometimes.

And Jane remember one thing - I may live in aussie, I may carry the paperwork, but I'm still a pom too. ;)
