Whoop.

Huge win for the Blues Jatz

Two from two so far with the Pies and Rupo getting up. Go the Warriors!!

Our game in a couple of weeks should be awesome. Can't see us beating you but we're actually coming up against you while we're in properly good form for a change.

Should be a ripper mate.

Good results for both host nations as well.

My Friday evening entertainment was Reece Walsh putting on a show against Souths, and then I watched the Ashes highlights with Jonny Bairstow, and I thought, sport just doesn't any better than that!

This series has really taken a turn. Pretty safe to say the Aussies (may) have lost it on day 1.

Nice win for Rupo today making it 2 from 2 with 1 to go.

 

[Aucklander]

3 from 3. Nice weekend.

 

[Jatz]

Not the way you want to retain the Ashes but the English tears are matching the rain from day 5, so that's nice.

Surely Carlton plays finals now with a reasonably easy run home Jatz ?

Should only need two more…not counting any chickens yet but that was bloody impressive considering the outs.

Tackle of the year at the MCG last night.

Bledisloe? Didn't get a chance to see any of it.

Yea, it was a bit boring until the AB's cut loose.

Still lightyears ahead of us.

Unless the All Blacks fall back, I can't see the Wallabies getting all that close again. Junior development in rugby is non existent here.

That's the biggest problem.

Pity Australia couldn't hold on in the cricket. A pretty spiteful series really.

 

[moto748]

Spiteful? I don't see that. I thought it's been a great Test series, played in a good spirit as it usually is.

You guys know Jake McCartney, Aussie 8-ball player? Was watching him yesterday, very good.

 

[Jatz]

There's been a bit of handbags through the series but yeah, not sure I'd have said spiteful.

 

[Aucklander]

What a fantastic job Australia and New Zealand have done in hosting the Women’s WC.

Apart from the very odd one coder, both countries have had great support.

 

[moto748]

Well, that was exciting! Australia looked to have the best player on the pitch, but England took their chances.

World Cup Final: woot!

 

[Aucklander]

Brilliant win by, England. Thoroughly deserved it. Cracking goal by Kerr.

Australia just too suss down back.

Massive ratings which should be applauded by everyone instead of some of the boring stuff I’ve seen written about it in the last few hours.

Good luck to Spain and England. Should be a cracking final, but unfortunately I’ll on a plane back to OZ.

PF weekend.

Thankfully no clash tomorrow night.

Go the Pies!! Go the Warriors!!

 

[Jatz]

Go Blues I think you mean

 

[Aucklander]

Go Blues I think you mean

LoL. No.

1 down, 1 to go.

 

[Aucklander]

1 isn't too bad.

Bad luck last night Jatz thought you guys were going to blow them off the park. Looking good heading into 2024.
