I feel so happy about it. Australia doesn't have the depth for 4 franchise
so the addition of another franchise shouldn't strengthen everything

Long winded? Opinionated? The trouble with deigning to address the
unwashed cretins in this newsgroup is having to repeat oneself so
often due to the lower-end demographic's goldfish-like attention span
and lack of comprehension of complicated words like 'cat', 'big' and
'sisterfuckingsoftcock'. That, and the fact that many of them wouldn't
understand reasoning if Nick Warrensen shoved his jumbo large print
copy of "Logic for Dummies" up their arses with the aid of an
industrial pile driver. Not to mention the disgusting proliferation of
whale-hugging, left wing whingers whose ceaseless kow-towing to
socialist, feminist, greenie drivel is enough to cause spontaneous
vomiting amongst we superior mensa-level geniuseses. I don;t know why
I bother. Oh that's right, I don't any more. Sensible me.

Jesus Moby, do you have too much free time on your hands these days?
Isn't Mother Alvey letting you suck him off enough any more?

What are you doing in a rugby union newsgroup anyway? Isn't the
thickhead crashball "world" cup (snigger) enough for you? You know,
Australia v Lebanon v Chad (aka Sydney v Sydney v Sydney).

As it happens, I'm quite looking forward to next year's rugby world
cup. Not because it has any relationship to finding the best team in
world rugby, but simply that it's something -- ANYTHING -- other than
the annual, endless, interminable, montonous bore-athon of Tri-Nations
now that the NH conspiracy has reduced rugby to an utterly tedious,
recidivist exhibition of 1950s aimless kicking and blatant offside.

2009 was one of the worst seasons of rugby I can ever recall. Not only
because the All Blacks were up and down like Mowithey's undies in a
public toilet, but the sheer, mind-numbing banality of rugby (with the
exception of the All Balcks win over the cheese-eating surrender
monkeys a couple of months back).

People must be deserting the game in droves to take up more
interesting sports such as lawn bowls and guessing whether Charles' IQ
is 2 or 3.

It's no wonder South Africa is thriving. If only they'd get rid of
citing commissioners and neutral referees, the Japies would be happy
as Didge at a Badger Sodomising Competition.

Oh Chucky, don't be so pessimistic. That's what they said about the
Force and it's been mid-table for the last three years. Australia has
plenty of players, just no domestic competition to provide a wider
pool of quality.

If you really want to be depressed, listen to this. The Redhead of
Ultimate Patriotism has finally prevailed -- I had three quarters of
my brain removed and I'm now a jewel citizen. Yep, as dinky-di as you

Pay attention, you retarded, badger-felching turnip. It's been a popular
refrain in the progressive, proactive part of the rugby world these past
several seasons.

Numerous serial numpties from oop your way claimed that Super 14 rugby
was becoming like league, which of course meant that the ball was
advanced down the pitch by running far too often for their
penalty-obsessed, set-piece fixated liking. Now they've finally got
their way and rugby has degenerated into a negative, spoiling,
obstructive game of heroic tedium, the comparison to league is so much
more appropriate.

Did your ferret eat your one remaining brain cell, Didge? Winning one
from three games may be a series win to you poms, provided it comes
complete with a lap of honour, but I'm sure the French set higher standards.

Jesus Didge, are you even stupider than you used to be?

Technically, is that even possible?

How do you "win" a drawn series?

And when you look at your team's season -- as everyone does -- you take
into consideration all their tests against all opponents. You don't say
"hooray, we won this two-match series against whoever, and it doesn't
matter that we lost these three other one-offs against them".

Well, you English might, but then you're desperate, so fuck knows what
straws you might clutch at.

No, anyone reasonable would say "we lost 3-5 against them this season".

So that rules you out right there I guess.

Really? Would you like me to quote you when you told us the series was
what counted? You're also including 'show case' games in the RWC now I
take it? And of course, you're forgetting that your team's season isn't
the same as another team's.

You don't say

I'm desperate? Didn't see me vanishing in a huff, and then re-appearing
shortly after my team took the top of the IRB rankings again.....

The yardstick of international rugby is not bonus points to win silly
modern pieces of silverware. It has been, and will always be, test
results -- series and the team's performance over a calendar year. As I
have always said.

Once the two were synonymous. The crowded modern calendar has muddied
the water slightly but test results are what matters.

No one will be looking back and saying "oh yes, I remember 2009, that's
the year France won the Gallagher Cup in New Zealand and New Zealand won
it back in France."

No, they will simply remember NZ 2 France 1. As it should be.

If NH teams want to quote the 08/09 or whatever season as their
yardstick, rather than the calendar year, that would be reasonable. It's
still a year and that's the basic unit of rugby.

Oh yes, I'm sure that's what matters to every thinking rugby supporter
-- where their team is on the meaningless, warped IRB rankings.

And why the hell I should "disappear in a huff" after the All Blacks
completed one of their most successful years on record, and then
reappear (temporarily, I might point out) after one of their worst
international seasons in recent times -- well, let's just say it's a
uniquely Didge way of looking at the world.

> Would they? So France's season *is* the same as New Zealand's, got it....

You wouldn't get it if it was attached to your, fat spotty arse with a
nail gun.

What France care to quote for their season is their business. I am
talking about the All Blacks' season.

One is true, one isn't.

I only have a degree in Psychology (and Industrial Sociology and
History).
Funny enough, it was during the Psychology degree that that my IQ was
Psychometrically tested to be 142. It was part of our course.

The fact that genius level has been found to be 140+ is a mere
footnote.

You should have yours tested Rick - maybe your bluster and bilge could
actually have some substance. Although I think not - we've all seen
your pic.
You're missing DNA dude, but that could be a Kiwi thing I guess. Or

How many times did they test? Once is not enough - usually the average
of at least three tests is required, but the more taken within a short
time span, the more accurate they are. That's if you believe in them
at all. Ever read The Bell Curve?

This must be your poorly calibrated South African measurement system.
The Terman scale is the only commonly used scale to mention "genius"
and that's for IQ's of 164+.

You're a good two levels below that.

More commonly, 142 would be called "moderately gifted". Hardly
something to brag about. Although the Wechsler classification calls it
"superior", so maybe that's where you got confused. And being a South
African and all.

I guess you'll have to provide links to substantiate all that, as I
did that showed 140+ to be genius level.

Anyway, I don't care if I'm a "genius", "moderately gifted",
"superior", "very superior", or "in the top 1%" (135+,
http://www.extremeintellect.com/ei2009/IQ/historyiqtests.html). All I
said was that my IQ was psychometrically tested to be 142.

Lots. And there are peaks and troughs as we expected. IQ tests are
like crossword puzzles - interesting as entertainment, but you'd be a
bloody idiot to use them as an indicator of anything about a person.
Even you.

You either did Psych 101 or you didn't. I'm guessing you didn't.

Again and again as if it meant something and as if you were proud of
it. If you think an IQ test measures intelligence, then it must gall
you to know that you're dumber than Sharon Stone, Richard Nixon and
Dolph Lundgren.

And 142 is certainly NOT in the top 1%.
