RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland
-
I not sure where the supposed 'hate' thing comes about. I can honestly say hand on heart there is no rugby nation I hate or even strongly dislike. F*** it anyone who plays the game is tops to me. The odd joker will annoy me for a while, but not too much, and more for doing shit or dumb things on field, not winding up someone.
Hell we have mentioned the Gregan thing, and Gregan laughs, it was aimed at Kelleher only, and have heard Justin Marshall say he loved it, as he found it hard to like Kelleher.
And who can ever forget Carlos crossing tryline , running over to the corner to score a try (at Lancaster Park), then banging over the conversion and giving Canterbury crowd the finger! All good theatre. -

Lol mate as someone who knew Carlos growing up, that was no real surprise when he did that.

I just hate dickheaded-ness in Rugby no matter where it comes from. Which was why the RWC QF was so bloody satisfying - Sexton's tears being the sweetest icing on the cake

I did too up to a point, and realised that dickheadedness comes in may forms, and I wasn't above letting a halfback etc know what I thought of him if I had managed to get him (even if a bit late etc). I know we all kind of have our rules etc, but watching Coles goad Codie Taylor into getting YCed was something I enjoyed.
I also had a former French rugby player billeted with us a few years back in Aus. part of management of a club side we looked after. This man proudly told me that he had marked Colin Meads in a couple of tests, and after a few drinks we had laughed at rugby stories etc of what happened in tests etc that he had played in against not just Abs, but others too. Take y word for it, mouthing off etc would be least dicie thing that was happening.
Same as sledging in cricket, height of dickheadedness or just getting in heads?
