Any Rugby fans?

British Lions vs New Zealand All Blacks test will be webcast on http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/ (right now it's some crappy classical music show, but Rugby goodness is just 30 minutes away - 3am EST)

Just thought I'd share.

Go All Blacks! Didn't the Maori beat the Lions in the past 1-2 weeks? Not a big fan, just get to see a few games since one of my roomates is a Rugby player and we have Fox Soccer Channel.

They did but it wasn't a full Lions squad (I believe).

This is great, a nice big dose of home.

that try by Rocokoko was just scintilatting. Mauger just turned the counter attack so quick and that pass by Umaga was just amazing. When the All Blacks are on their best form, it really is a sight to be seen They haven't looked this good in a while. They were very underwhelming in last year's tri-nations

It sounded exciting on the webcast.

The All Blacks are the greatest rugby team in the world, even when the results don't reflect that.

Put this one in the book. All Blacks win 21-3 and it really should have been more.

2007 World Champions. 20 years is long enough.

here's a scary thought for all other nations out there too, Jonah Lomu might be playing again by the time that the NPC really kicks into high gear

He's over-rated and won't make the All Blacks. At least not for a while. Full credit to the guy, fighting back from kidney disease and [censored] but the brutal truth is that Howlett and both of the flying Fijians (Rococoko and Srivivatu) are better on attack and actually defend.

I agree with Big Joe. He has been a try scoring machine since he was capped two years ago. HOnestly, him and Dougie Howlett are the reason that Auckland won the 2003 Super12. I like Carlos SPencer a lot, but his goal kicking is suspect and it has been a noticable difference since Daniel Carter has taken over the fly-half/kicking duties.

I definitely agree the All-Blacks are a sight to behold when they are on form. Unfortunately it is very hard for me to get matches right now because of Fox Sports Network dropping their rugby coverage. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

if you have fox soccer channel it'll be replayed monday/tuesday( early in the am). Its worth a taping as the All Blacks really pasted the Lions. It could've been a lot worse. Jonny Wilkinson made a try saving tackle that was just amamzing as it was a 5 on 1 situation. O'Driscoll getting injured right from teh outset I think really prevented teh Lions Backs from having a good attack when they got it in the All Blacks danger areas
