@Trinats Thanks mate, good old Bundy's.

@Trader thanks for reply and consideration in respect to the Anzac spirit. IMHO we will always disagree on the who's most deluded factor mostly because our loyalty to our country and folk. Therefore it should be no surprise that I will ultimately always back Trinats, he's an Aussie first and foremost.

@ Trader - please let us know which 24 hours, so that we can all prepare ourselves appropriately... ;-)

(I once attended the ceremony on ANZAC Hill in Alice Springs, which was very poignant and extremely moving. As an ex-serviceman I always get a little choked on Armistice Day here, but that was some ceremony. Lest we forget).

Trinats you silly boy... Merthens was only born in Durban to NZ parents, Kaino and Franks moved to NZ at the age of 4 (Owen is even born in NZ) and Big Joe moved to NZ at the age of 5.

Please do read beyond the place of birth, as I was born in Bogota, Colombia and nobody will ever call me Colombian.

APV!, I feel certain we are all up at nights worrying, (or not) lol

@AVP1 Thanks I now know Quito is in Ecuador very close to the equator . Learn something new everyday.

I expect a few of the English team are looking forward to dropping in on family this summer.

lol Trinats, ok all those players may have been born overseas, but....

Just like two players you raved about a few posts below.. Cooper and Ioane, both kiwis.

Well done Trinats. The power of positive thinking. No doubt the blues will help build the reds self belief. but the crusaders are climbing and they're getting better every week.

@ APV1, Good point but for the life of me I couldn't think of anyone decent between Quito and Land's End. I see Schalk Burger has dodged the England tour already in fear but you can't blame him. A little unfair though saying that there aren't any good players in the SH. Manu Tuilagi is proof that if you spend enough time here you will acclimatise (normally at least 3 years providing you haven't been miscoached as part of some foreign international setup) and some like Brad Barritt are just unlucky to have been displaced geographically. In fact, one or two who hold a British passport or who have at least one British grandparent have proved that they are not entirely a lost cause but obviously anything less and you might as well start taking a look at tennis or something similar.

"Wannabies won last years Tri series for the same reason as the Red's won the Super XV"

What rubbish!

Only SA ran a "dead horse" in the 2011 Tri Nations.

Both Oz and NZ fielded sporting teams.

Trader, you appear to be making a lame attempt to rewrite history?

I agree with ben7. Too many kiwis.

Some of the Brumbies should have made this squad.

Who was the ref of Round 9?

@Trinats - I find that a strange post considering Mehrtens (Kiwi parents) & Rokocoko don't even play Super Rugby anymore. But seriously...

Yours & ruckingkiwis comments are tiring, we both have some overseas born players. They have chosen to play for our respective countries & that's that. What's the point in having a go?

Happy ANZAC day to all my Kiwi & Australian brothers!!! The blood sacrifice of our ancestors will never be forgotten.

@Ben7 - Haha guted.

Ben7 Do you have a television?

APV1 says...

Mediocrity personified. Not a single talented player south of Quito has ever played rugny and, frankly, I don't know why you bother.

I can't wait for "the big three" to get absoultely munted by the tourists in a few weeks. "Big three"?! Ha!

I bet you SH fans are quaking in your boots!

Just a an aside, you mention Jimmy Gowan's last year in Super Rugby before he heads to Gloucester.I wonder how he is feeling now that the Cherry and Whites won't be playing in the Heineken Cup next season(strange days at kingsholm).

What about Brendan McKibbin of the waratahs at scrumhalf?

Same Whitelock and Craig Clarke at lock?

Victor Vito surely was better than Potgieter?
