Matt "Bubba" RyanI AM BARRED FROM TIPPING

I have been hiding under a rock this weekHiding under a rock!!!!!!!! not only did I tip the All blacks and France to win on Bubba’s Broadside, I also tipped them in the Manly Daily. Unfortunately the Manly Daily did a full back page spread on my reasons why the Wallabies were going to lose. So this week I have been copping abusive phone calls and plenty of everyone. This week I am not going to tip a winner, let’s just say it is even money, both teams have a chance of winning.

The Stewards should really swab the Wallabies after Saturday night. They have played like duds all year then suddenly they finally turned up to play. Of course every Rugby writer in the world tipped the All Blacks to win, the All Blacks were on fire. When the heat was put on them they really choked, especially their number 10 Carlos Spencer. As Roy & HG would say John Mitchell should go to the room full of mirrors and have a good long look at himself. Mitchell had a great squad and could not get the best out of them, he should fall on his sword.

The Frogs were even more disgraceful on Sunday night, talk about French tanks in the war with 10 reverse gears 1 forward gear. Their Rugby team surrendered as meekly as their army did in WW2. Michalek went from being one of the best players in the tournament to an absolute joke. His was the finest choking performance I have ever seen, he kicked backwards in general play, missed goals, missed tackles and was generally a complete dud. Lucky he was not playing in a South American country or they would shoot him when he arrived at the airport. I would suggest to Michalek that he goes into hiding in the Australian bush for a while and wait for it all to blow over. 

I notice it has got very heated on my message board between Jono, Goose and a few Poms. Gronk unfortunately in this world winning is everything and the Poms have found a very efficient way of winning. I really admire the clinical efficiency of their performances. The English forward performance was magnificent on Sunday night and for the purists like Wilkinson myself I sat enthralled watching the scrum battle, tremendous stuff. If the Wallabies do not put them under pressure with their running game the English forwards will again roll forward and put Jonny in a position to kick a field goal or penalty.

The Pom bashing around town this week has been particularly bad. Like my heroine Princess Pauline I worship the Queen and all she stands for. I am proud of my British heritage and also proud that our Diggers fought and died under our flag which displays the Union Jack. The streets will run with blood the day Bob Brown or any other left wing wankers try and take the Union Jack off our flag. So I say to Gronk and the lads keep things in perspective on the Message Board.
