    Stephen Donald ripped up in Super Rugby as well though didn't he? So it wouldn't really prove anything if he did well over there at all other than that they were roughly equivalent standards.

    Nope

    He was uber shit. Cost his team a few games aswell IIRc

    Chiefs were regarded as having probably the 2nd best NZ team, yet they finished 5th out of NZ teams.

    Also, I don't think many people would say that the English Premiership is as good a standard as the Super 15...being as New Zealand forms 5 teams for that, but England's players have to form shitloads of teams...etc.

    yeah but you also have internationals and we don't have many at all, which evens the playing field quite abit. Would imagine if you had to make 5 english teams using only the English,Irish,Scotish and Welsh players who already play in your comp. It'd be around the same standard maybe.

    I think it would be interesting to have 5 English teams, 4 Welsh , 4 Irish and 2 Scottish tbh.

    Heineken Cup says hi.

    Nah, I mean a proper league that all the teams can concentrate exclusively on, rather than just being a few teams from each country playing it on the side.

    Disagree, granted he fell away towards the end and he had his Hong Kong-like moments occasionally but he always maintained a fairly high standard of performance in the Super 15. He carried that Chiefs team to an extent for years with his strong running game, those pesky chip kicks that never worked in internationals and his goal kicking was quality most of the time. He was the top points scorer in the competition in 07, second in 08, 09 and third in 06.

    Well i was really only talking about last season. He was a shunt. Shoulda made it clearer

    You are free to debate me on anything I have posted in this thread because there has been no deliberate trolling on my behalf at all

    I'm just giving you my opinion. It's a ridiculous suggestion in your OP and the team you came up with is pretty shit. The fact you have chosen Hook, who is not even the best No.10 in Wales, is hilarious.
     
  12. Fiery GR Smith

    I think it will be very close tbh. 2-1 Wallabies series win
     
  13. Fiery GR Smith


    :lol: You haven't played them for over a year and Australia have won 3 of the last 5 games...and one of the England wins was by 1 point. You are seriously abusing the word "hammered" in this thread.
     
  14. Fiery GR Smith

    OK now I know you are trolling :fp:

    2013 tour of Aus just announced. Calling it now, we're going to trounce them. Seeing what odds I can get as we speak...
     
  16. Squeaks ZW Poole

    Aussie to run all over the Lions in every test!
     
  17. Farny AP Farnsworth

    See how you do against Wales on sat before you start saying that...

    Aussie will thump the Lions in 2013, they have such a young squad that in 2 years time will be World class.
     
  19. Fiery GR Smith

    Squeaks is a kiwi so it was a neutral opinion ;)
     
  20. BigDougy DG Dafter

    What odds did you get??
