 You aussies rule in league theres no doubt about that. I remeber when we started the warriors league team there was lots of talk in NZ about how great our warriors are going to do and possibly win the final - yeah right 10 yrs on and we still haven't! But alot of us knew that from the start we just can't match yous in league closest we have come is a close 2nd. |
Yeah, but we don't dominate as much as we used to anymore. NZ are very competitive now and If I recall correctly are holders of the Tri-Nations series trophy having defeated Australia in the final with Britain not making it last year. But Rugby League just does not compare with the pure game of Rugby Union.  |
But we absolutely whopped the kiwis in the Anzac test a few weeks ago.
And 1 Tri-nations series lost in 20 years is acceptable IMHO. But the boys from across the Tasman are getting better no doubt, led by superstars like Marshall.
Yeah union is much better. But they are both great to play, except when I get chucked in the Second Row when playing union, I swear that half the time I would rather watch the opposition score a try than have them knock on and make me scrum down and stick my head up a Hooker's ar$e (and no to the non-rugby educated, I am not referring to some wierd form of prostitution
).
