haha that was a just a cheeky dig, at the end of the day hes a bit gash, but he clearly enjoys it, he's nowhere near flintoff levels of shame, and he can tell people he beat fran botha, even if he was past it

He's technically okay, he doesn't have the power to knock out anyone semi serious though. Very lucky in the Botha fight, reckon it was cut short 1 round so he could win, lots of controversy.

Haha sorry mate, I get to rub two loads of salt into the wound!

You Sir, Are a Bounder!

I only support the winning team, it's the best way to be around this country, tall poppy syndrome over here is worse with AB fans than it is the English footy ones.

Watching the semi final yesterday in league, is there a case for sam burgess being as good as sonny bill williams or was that a one off, also sonny bill is a crap boxer

Was at Wembley and Sam did have a belter of a game. Kinda put SBW in the shade. That he started off in the front row before going into the second row later in the game makes his performance even better. I thought both he and Graham were outstanding.

Having said that, Sonny Bill is pure showbiz. The things he can do on a pitch are incredible. Fantastic first try by the NZ team as well. The skill to get the ball back into play was incredible.

The Cooper Cronk try for Australia later on was good as well, with the assist by Hayne outstanding. Still seems a bit weird that Hayne is lining up for Aus given that he played for Fiji in the last WC (and of course Civinoceva was the other way round).

Kinda puts things into perspective doesn't it? I mean the guy is a man mountain. I sure wouldn't want to be punched in the head by him

I didnt see the semi final because of the derby and i havent had chance to watch it. Hho gave the penalty away in the last minute the the high tackle?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I know, I got tickets for both games as a birthday present for my dad as he's a big league fan. Obviously didn't realise it clashed with the derby.

The high shot in the last minute was by George. The try was scored pretty much right below us. Gutting. Strangely George didn't have as big a game as he has previously. Sam, Graham and Hill were outstanding though.

The cheapest tickets for the 2015 Rugby World Cup final in England will be priced at £150, the organisers of the tournament have announced

The tickets for the RL semi-final were £40 for an adult, and £20 for an OAP. Difference right there between the two sports. One for the prawn sandwich brigade, one for the people.

The League tickets have to be cheaper, as all the followers spend the majority of their money on steroids.

A lot of protein in prawns. The union boys probably blend up their sandwiches to have as a recovery meal after the match.
