2011 NRL Grand Final Poll
We’re now only a week away from the 2011 NRL grand final, where the Sea Eagles will take on the Warriors for the premiership. Manly had a solid win over the Brisbane Broncos, while the Warriors upset minor premiers Melbourne Storm to book a spot in only their second grand final.
We’ll have a preview of the game later in the week, but for now we thought we’d canvas the opinion of our readers. Vote in the poll below!
The Punt #15
We had no winners last week, with the Wallabies’ unfortunate loss to Ireland at RWC causing a lot of grief. Adrian on the other hand just had a shocker, with all three legs failing to get up. Everyone will be looking for a change in fortune, and there are some interesting selections, so head on in to see where we’re putting our cash! Read more…

David does RWC – Days 9, 10 and 11

RWC Days 9, 10 and 11
The RWC has marched on through the week, only taking a break on Monday. The minnow nations that are taking part are beginning to tire a bit and I don’t really blame them. This is one area that I think the IRB needs to take a look at. The minnow’s (basically everyone bar those in the Six Nations and Tri Nations plus Argentina) have had such quick turnarounds that they are getting fatigued in the last 20 minutes of the game and letting the bigger sides romp all over them. How is it fair that they regularly have to play 2 games in a week (including at least one against the top dogs) yet none of the top teams have to play more than once a week? It would help even the playing field so much if they did this. Teams like Fiji and Samoa have enough talent to be competitive and win games against the top 10 but will stand no chance if they have had to back up a couple of days later and play a strong and well rested side? Anyway that’s my rant over, now onto the games. Read more…

David does RWC – Days 7 and 8
RWC Days 7 and 8
The Rugby World Cup (RWC) has motored through its second round of action over the weekend with the first real upset of the competition occurring on Saturday evening. The atmosphere has been great at the games, and it helps that most games have featured a reasonable degree of competitiveness. I mentioned that I was going to the fan zone on day three, and I did and it was a good experience. They set it up like a rugby field (with an actual mini sized pitch in the middle) with stands and massive screens to watch the games on. There was a good crowd in, especially considering it rained for the first wee while. Read more…

RWC Days 4 + 5 + 6
We have had a fair bit to be excited about over here in NZ. The rugby action has been good for the most part, with games being well attended and played in good spirits. There have been a couple of good ones to boot and plenty of well worked tries as well. We move more into the second round, with some of the bigger teams playing over the weekend. Firstly though, here is a look at what has happened with days 4, 5 and 6. Read more…
