    479 & 480 @ NZINCHINA:
    I have some straight up questions for you, China… and if you have any balls, you woud give straight up answers:

    Do you come “chat” on Rugby-Talk for the IRRITANT FACTOR or for RUGBY DISCUSSIONS on a sport we all love?

    OR

    Do you come to Rugby-Talk to “chat” because there are no New Zealand Rugby blogs to rival a solid website like Rugby-Talk?

    OR

    Do you come to Rugby-Talk to “chat” because you are desperately seeking attention?

    You are always in a combattive mood, never a good thing to say, clearly not of the intention to enrich the Rugby-Talk community!

    Too be fair, the last couple of AB wins have been slightly shaky, from France to Ireland end of last year, and the one on Saturday, but, they still got the wins.

    So, we must deduce that it is either the fatigue factor of the EYT or rustiness of the beginning of the season and come RC they are at their peak.

    Next year it’s just a shortened RC and then the WC, so we must wait and see who peaks at the WC.

    Olivier and Ranger took their team to the top 14 final…

    No they didn’t, it was Toulon v Castres in the Top 14 final, but I get what you mean in them being team mates at Montpellier and so should have a good understanding from playing together there.
