Nous allons d'enfants de la patrie! NZ in a world cup not at home. Record not so flash... :-P Oh did you hear Richie finally got sent off for a professional foul. So he's not a reality distortion field anymore and is going to get penalised like everyone else who commits professional fouls all day? Worrying for the all blacks. Very worrying. In all seriousness if you're silly enough to bet rugby the thing to watch is how much pressure is being put on the ref. Because, tragically, that is what decides games between two strong sides. Some of it is blatant and public and much of it isn't but it's there none the less. England are about the fourth best rugby side in the world at best, but they're raging hot favourites because you know that's what's going on. Tough to tell the difference between rugby and professional wrestling sometimes.
