I was speaking in relation to your anger against Samoans who did not back their team, and this was because they were thinking with their head rather than their heart
That got a little deep for me. My heart said the All Blacks were ganna beat France in 1999, Australia in 2003 and France in 2007. I'm pretty sure my heart f*cked me over those times. Fact is there is such a thing as loyalty. Backing a team who you don't think is going to win, but supporting them your best anyway, I'd say is the epitome of loyalty. In New Zealand, I'd say were aren't the most loyal fans at all. We love the All Blacks, but if a player performs badly or the team doesn't do well, we want the players, the coaches, the managers, the CEO's, the water boys, the bus drivers, the luggage crew, the waitresses, the waitresses' families and the doctor who brought them into the world, fired. We then go on to watch soccer untill the All Blacks do well again. We luckily don't lose very often.

Sam, how much $$$ did you win?
Sudden interest? Just because I haven't been commenting as much as yourself doesn't mean my interest has suddenly appeared. The first four pages of this thread was basically people saying their predictions. I have been watching this thread and even got up at 3am this morning to watch the match live and I am just about to watch a repeat of the whole match. The fact that you believe I do not understand predicting with your heart is harsh. I have had to live with backing Munster and Ireland constantly with my heart when my head has always been questioning the result.

ARGH!!! I missed out. I missed out on the Reds/Crusaders final too where I backed the Reds.
Yeah with the interest thing is, I wasnt even talking to you. My post was to my usos mainly (who'd understand what I was getting at with the predicitions) but then you butted in with I think your first post on this thread. It is an open forum and you can butt in but I dont think you understand what Im getting at, its a Samoan thing.
Always back with your country with your heart. Its honest, proud, natural, pulsating and rewarding. Bottom line I backed my country with my heart and I won, YES!!!
I'm exactly the same :lol:
Though with my luck Samoa and the Reds would have lost if I'd've bet on them

Umm yes...lol. You asked simple question, I answered simple answer LOL. Before that I didnt even say I won any money, so what are you getting at Ducky boy?
My answer: 'ARGH!!! I missed out. I missed out on the Reds/Crusaders final too where I backed the Reds.'
Heart is not money ducky, there you go I taught you something thats obvious to most (the post you replied with above has nothing to do with money but how things are).

I really wanted to watch this so decided just to not sleep, knowing what I'm like getting out of bed, and dreariness didn't occur once during 80 minutes of sheer passion from the Samoans. I actually thought they could do it, (Besides when Giteau scored, then I thought Austrailia were going to get back.) and thankfully they proved me right.
I actually think this is a good result for Wales, as Gatland shall hopefully not naff around and pick the first Xv against the Samoans. (Although I'd make a point of starting Toby Faletau, as it's basically a local derby for him.)

Same I'm ****** to see them playing it again now.
Really enjoyed it though. Completly deserved by Samoa smashing anything that moved and being more inventive than Aus.
Thought Beale was good when he came on and Elsom was good considering his circumstances.

Just bumped into that one Beached Az episode ANZ used to advertise the game. It had the reverse effect I reckon.
Well done Samoa, keep up the good work.
why was there only one Tuilagi brother playing ? I know Henry stopped playing international but where was Andy?
Cheers.

To play Anitelea would mean dropping Mapusua, and Maps is on another level to Andy
He was also arrested the other week, so I doubt he'll feature in the WC squad either

awesome result, just awesome Samoa
wish I had seen the match. I dont have rugby channel, ****** me off sky only put these games on rugby channel.
It may have been an AUS B team but it was a team selected from AUS's top 40 players to win this game. I think the wave they have been riding since the reds s15 win will have well and truely crashed.
All the praise that Deans gets but the reality is Australias record under him is shocking, utterly shocking. To the point where he HAS to win the world cup to add some sort of credibility and actually get a result from his 4 years or so in charge of the national team during which time he's had a record losing streak against the All Blacks and his team lose two or three major upset games they simply should have won.
if AUS dont win the world cup their time with deans as coach will maybe go down as their darkest period in history.
