Global Warming !

To reduce the impact of Global Warming, in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint, the All Blacks rugby team have decided to drop off the Wallabies on their way home ……………………………..

I like the choker, do they do one with a Springbok on it?

Maybe I will need one with a red rose after next weekend, actually that would probably be quite useful should I be invited to a gay party.

Watched the England football international last sat, didn't see the end though, fell asleep during the first half.

Habana's speed reminded me of Ali's interview with Michael Parkinson where Ali offered to show Parky his fastest punch.

Ali assuming a boxing pose waits stationary for a few seconds then turns to Parky and asks him if he wants to see it again.

Habana translated from the Zulu means f**k**g fast.

The last try by Habana was a beauty, made one myself as a kid, interception, will never forget it, got me the scrumhalf position (at school) knackered after it, I think. Should be a good match next week.
Best of luck to England.
Even more luck to England when they play Schrottland in the 6 nations,
got a ticket for that

To this day, I carry a similar memory.. this was the first ever try scored in rugby, I kid you not. I intercepted coming out of the ruck and sprinted towards.. the sideline to make a dramatic Barry John-esque touchdown there. The memory haunts me still, and the gales of ridicule and laughter in the dressing room torment me to this very day.

Nice to see the National Anthem sung with such conviction by the players though.

Q: What's the difference between the Wallabies, the All Blacks and a tea bag?
A: A tea bag stays in the cup longer.

Q: What is the main function of the Wallabies coach?
A: To transport the team from the hotel to the ground.

Q: What's the All Black version of a hat-trick?
A: Conceding three tries in three minutes.

Q: Why don't the Wallabies backline need pre-tour travel injections?
A: Because they never catch anything.

Q: What do the Wallabies, All Blacks and drug addicts have in common?
A: All three spend most of their time wondering where their next score will come from.

In the next edition of Chambers dictionary under 'complacent' it reads "New Zealand All Blacks, Australia Wallabies, RWC Quarter final, 2007."

The seven dwarves are down in the mines when there is a cave-in. Snow White runs to the entrance and yells down to them. In the distance a voice shouts out "New Zealand are good enough to win the World Cup." Snow White says "Well at least Dopey's alive!"

Did you hear that the Australian Post Office has had to recall their latest stamps. They had pictures of Wallabies rugby players on them. People couldn't figure out which side to spit on.

Did you hear about the NZ politician who was found dead in an All Black jersey? The police had to dress him up in women's underwear in order to save his family from the embarrassment.

Four surgeons are taking a coffee break. The first one says, "Accountants are the best to operate on because when you open them up everything inside them is numbered." The second surgeon says, "Nah, librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order." Third surgeon says, "Try electricians everything inside them is colour-coded." The fourth one says, "I prefer Southern Hemisphere players. They're heartless, spineless, gutless and their heads and arses are interchangeable."

Q: What do you have when the All Blacks are buried up to their necks in sand?
A: Not enough sand.

Q: What do you call an Australian at the RWC final?
A: Ref.

Little Bruce was in his junior school class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers cameup;-
Fireman, policeman, salesman, politician; Bruce was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay club and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go out with a man, rent a cheap room and let them sh*g him."
The teacher hurriedly set the other children to work on some colouring and then took Little Bruce aside.
She asked him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said Bruce, "My father plays prop for Australia, but I was just too embarrassed to say".

Simmbob,

Don't know about world cup, but when I spent a lot of time in Italy at the end of the 1990s most of the decent sports bars had live 6 Nations championship (or was it 5 Nations still back then). The problem is to pursuade the locals not to have the footy on or similar - does the rugby final clash with Ferrari qualifying at Brazil GP? Just keep buying lots of red wine to keep the bar owner happy. The Italian commentry takes some getting used to tho.... although it was less biased than Eddie Butler.

A gendarme in Paris on Sunday night pulled over a driver who had been weaving in and out of the traffic.
He approached the car window and said "Sir I need you to blow into this breathalyzer".
The man reaches into his pocket and produces a doctor's note. On it was written:

"This man suffers from chronic asthma. Do not make him perform any action that may leave him short of breath".

The gendarme said "Okay then I need you to come and give a blood sample" The man produced another letter. This one said:


"This man is a haemophiliac. Please do not cause him to bleed in any way".

So the officer said: "Right, I need a urine sample then".
The man produces a third letter from his pocket.
It read:

"This man plays rugby for Australia , please don't take the piss out of him"

Thanks for the replys, a few bottles of red wine with a hangover is a small price to pay, I can't wait.

As for the Ausie bars.. I'm not that brave!
