We're getting it live here, for obvious reasons, but its one of those games that could draw a decent audience should it be broadcasted in Australia. Gutted about the way they market the game.
Right on the money. Fifa is Cartman's mum and Pro Evo just sh*ts all over her. The Rugby games, yeah, they're fun for a while, though they lack a decent international season mode, which would take into account international windows etc. Madden is the God of sports games.

Nightengale is Maori, and Vatuvei is Tongan.
The better argument would have been Marshall/Nightengale.
But I agree, the selection is iffy. Its more of a "probables" v "possibles", but instead its not a trial game...Id like to see them refine it, even as far as Maori v Non-Maori.
Was played yesterday at Yarrow Standium in Taranaki. Decent game, plenty of pace, breaks and innovative passing, as you'd expect. All Golds cruised home in the end, though the first half was fairly even. Would liek to see this game become a regular, with some guideline on selection for the All...
My old man, my brother, myself and my best mate are all heading over the ditch to be there for the final.
We're maaaddddd excited, cant wait to get on the piss and watch some footy at a ground I've always wanted to go to.
^^Yeah fair call Coxy. I'm looking forward to the tournament though. I dont give a sh*t about how people say its a second rate comp, with two teams dominating, the rest being filled with rejects. Its going to be awesome to watch.
Was out at the airport today, and the Kiwis all flew in from Sydney, and in Greg Eastwood's case, Brisbane. Had a chat to a few of the boys, including Eastwood, and they all seemed excited and ready to go.
Its interesting watching these guys, they all laugh and joke around like best mates...
Drug use is so ambiguous aswell. Cocaine, Marajuana and E arent gonna affect their performance the way the media beats on about it. So Im not all that suprised, nor am I all that angry.
Had Lockyer opeted for the two, Parker would have wound teh clock down, Brisbane would have either had 6 tackles from their own goal line, or the oppertunity to field a short kick off. Either way, a set of 6 with a good kick chase would have won the game. If people are going to blame Simms...
