    Decided to come home rather than watch the first half at the ground, that seems like an error now.

    Funny how there's always a NZ body in the way of the scrum half.

    Now that's over, here's my question: what is worse: the haka, or singing 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' through the haka? Both awful crimes against taste.

    Nice work from the ref(s).

    The mistake we made with rugby was not getting the Indians into it (and letting the French in). Not enough corruption to balance out the colonial/historical hatred.

    There's a loud minority on twitter who believe that anything other than reverential silence is 'disprespecting their culture'. Chaps, I refer you to the 1973 haka once more.

    Peter Beattie and the waxworks got together and agreed an international calendar ('subject to consultation' =/= Australian complaints) including a Nines World Cup which we may as well not bother entering, a Great Britain tour of New Zealand and the obesity islands next year which will be mega (I'm taking the credit for that idea), and Australia touring in 2020.

    Anyone being paid a wage to promote league in this country is by definition. Elsewhere, Wayne Bennett saying that Greg Alexander and Brad Fittler (who said the Golden Boot award was a DISGRACE) 'get paid to make silly statements' is a great withering put-down.

    I don't usually like Kapa O Pango, but that was pretty good in the intimidating Twickenham atmosphere. It looks like the crowd/atmosphere definitely got in our heads for the first 10 minutes.

    I know what you mean, but what I meant was Eden Park at absolute capacity is 50,000. So 82,000 is quite the step up.

    Booing is intimidating? That was a beautiful response surely?

    82,000 fund managers and regional solicitors, it's basically Isandhlwana.

    It was more Swing Low than booing, which is hardly the most aggressive sound you could sing to be fair. Just the occasion of playing in front of a massive crowd like that.

    Penrith twittering that Trent Merrin was joining Leeds on a 'lucrative deal' is pretty lol and childish given that they're still going to be paying half of it. There are some decent players coming over for next season, and not because they have no choice. They've even picked the shittest fixtures imaginable for Magic Weekend in what can only be a move towards killing it off. Exciting.

    I know it's only Japan but we seem to have picked three wingers, two fly halves, and no centres.

    Only when they play a nation Tier 2 enough that they care more about marketing replica shirts than they care about the blinding white that is Brand England.

    You forget we played the Aussies in those awful purple shirts not that long ago. The tradition used to be that the visiting side wore their normal colours and the home side would wear their change strip.

    Fabulous discipline from the Irish there, and well deserved.

    Also, Wayne Barnes is such a heroically brilliant ref. Where's that come from? He always used to seem a bit of a plank.

    13-12 to Wales, who then lose 10-9 to France, who then lose 48-11 to New Zealand.

    I don't care if the draw makes it impossible, that's what will happen.

    On the subject of the draw, is there anything more pointless in sport than Italy's continued participation in the Rugby World Cup?

    He announced his retirement, and now he's brilliant.

    Whinging about time of year, ref, back handed compliments about head to head record etc. Very salty about the suggestion that 2 out 3 victories against the All Black might argue that Ireland are the number 1 team in the World.

    Same pettiness that us Australians are known for as well.
