England v NZ

[Prudie]

Well done England! Even I got excited in that match and rugby's usually something I have to endure. Tualangi (sp?) should have got man of the match.

some of us are waiting until 7pm to watch the highlights, prudie, don't give it away!

[Prudie]

Oh dear, sorry I didn't think. Although I think you'd have to shut yourself away to not find out. I've seen the Welsh result on here already.

[jno]

without giving anything away... that was very good and I agree about Tuilagi.

It's pronounced Tuilangi but spelt Tuilagi because when the early missionaries went out to the south seas they took printing presses to print bibles etc, but they didn't have enough Ms and Ns for the local languages so they left some out of proper names. That's why the capital of Fiji is spelt Nadi but pronounced Nandi, for instance.

[Prudie]

jno what an interesting snippet, how on earth do you know that?

[jno]

just one of those pieces of useless info I've picked up over the years. That's why I'm on AB, really...

I knew they had a decent game in them, what a time to produce it! I never thought I would see the mighty all blacks so rattled! Great interview with McCaw afterwards not a hint of moaning just appreciative of what he'd just been involved in. "great footy game" says it all!

England missed the chance though to score a record win over the All Blacks - at 38-14 it was on.
But zedbloke is right - when I hear rugby players talking after a game by and large it puts a lot of so-called stars from other sports to shame.
