Get Carter...

[Aperitif]

Will you be watching Saturday's Football match at Twickenham?
Here's an easy way to offer a chance to each team. Closest to the final score wins a night out with CrockofGold, touring London's pubs (that means he'll not have to make any special 'arrangements' ) and the loser can have a night in, discussing the merits of burning plywood with threesheetsmcginty.
I'd like to see England win, of course! New Zealand are on a roll, at the top of the World rankings for four years now, so it will be as difficult as ever.
France came close last week, and England had the famous victory last year...I just don't think England will be able to absorb a sustained wide attack with Ashton and Foden seemingly struggling for form.
Let's hope for the best, though. England 10 - 3 New Zealand would be 'hard-earned'. England 14 - 38 New Zealand 'feels' like what is on the way.
But I hope not.
Congratulations to Daniel Carter on reaching 100 caps.
Lets hope for a bit of 'give' rather than take eh?


Edit: Too many 'hopes' - I know

Loving the 1970's haka, looks like status quo playing air guitar.
The score will be 17 - 31 to NZ

I shall be watching. I am not expecting an England win, although if our pack can emulate what the French pack did to against NZ then we may be in with a shout.
As for Ashton and Foden. Ashton has had his game worked out and has been shown to have nothing else to offer, he must have a very comprehensive set of very incriminating photographs. Foden is an excellent full back who should be playing at full back, although I can see why Brown is still picked there, he's been excellent too. As crap as we (the once but no longer quite so mighty Gloucester) are at the moment, neither would get in our team on the wing.

[QUOTE 2768837, member: 1314"]beebo's about right I reckon. I'll go 15-32. If I win do I get to spend the night with myself? That didn't come out right at all.[/quote]
I'm still trying to work out how you'll be able to PM Fluff the right answer.

Now, about those score / points forecasts? Someone must want to win a night with CoG..or be prepared to suffer the Pleidian plywood pyrotechnician.

I'm might go for a **** up with Crockers even if I don't win.

Can we double team him?

NZ 33 - 9 England. Firmly in the 'comprehensive victory' zone while just avoiding a 'trounce'.
