Tri Nations Thread

Well the Tri Nations is underway thought I might post a thread to see if anyone else is interested.

I havent seen all the Boks vs. ABs game yet but from what I saw I think the ABs deserved to win.

There has been alot of negativity over the Thorn sper but to be honest in a game dominated by Bok aggression (The hits on Carter, a few suspect hits on Smith) I enjoyed seeing it.

I think its about time the AB pack was feared again and off the ball aggression is something the Boks have used for years to intimidate opponents and I sort of felt Thorn took a page out of the Bok book.

As far as it being after the whislte, well it was a cheap shot and he deserved more than a week I think. But it sent a clear message and I dont think the Bok loosies were as effective after that moment.

I am looking forward too this weekends return game, I am almost thinking about putting a buck or two on the Boks though. I bet the NZ bookies have them at stupid odds now.
