Yes all blacks are the best team at the moment but it's gonna be really more difficult at the RWC even french team seems to be as strong as eggs but everybody know what happened at the last RWC. Besides they will have many pressure on them because everybody think they'll win the RWC

@seanie40 fair comment.

@mickser101 the exodus is purely for the money and a chance to experience new cultures/travel....we have since found that every time a player comes back from NH it takes them a season or two to get back up to speed (Chris Jack, Luke McAlister, Dan Carter etc)

How can BOD be the best in the world when Conrad Smith clearly outplayed him, and consistently performs against the best teams ie. Springboks? I saw the Ireland vs Australia game BOD went MIA

[seanie40]

I love the game as we all do. Think Smith is extremely underrated but even he says BOD is the benchmark for centres. I agree the standard down under is better but BOD plays for a team although good, that doesn't have the class of players that NZ have playing around him. EXtra pressure on BOD. If Smith doesn't do it, Nonu will, or Muliaina will, or Carter. You have more matchwinners in your side mate. We have taklented players but we always look to BOD to produce something...

Woody @ 3:15 Bloody classic rarkin' up the french lock

@mickser101 money and selections.. what is hard to see about that?

[EvKrusty]

ireland are only undefeated because you didnt play the All Blacks, and everytime you have played the All Blacks recently Conrad Smith has clearly outplayed BOD. Just because O'Driscoll is good by Irish standards doesnt make him the best in the world....Fourie DuPreez if anyone deserved player of the year ahead of McCaw....but as it stands McCaw plays the most physical position at the highest standard consistently year in year out...DuPreez had a good year but hasnt always been as doiminant

There is an exodus north for the money pure and simple, I would have thought that was pretty common knowledge?

As for one-eyed, I think you should reread your comments on this thread mate because you are the biggest cyclops here.

For the past year or more the standard of rugby has gone down a lot.

Dont get me wrong, irelands grand slam, south africas dream year and a great lions tour was brilliant................. but when you see a game like this it really brings it home.

Every game of rugby should be played like this. Its time the IRB realise that the notion of aerial ping-pong is making the game boring and extremely non-entertaining.

I agree, what a bunch of sore losers! but there's a big difference between taking advantage of a football falling on your hand and starting a fight because you're getting pummeled.

If the super 14 is the premier competition then how come there has been a huge exodus to play in the H cup, the tri nations has been played since 96 and dominated by NZ in the NH its been going 1883. The SH and particularly one-eyed kiwis need to accept BOD was a better player this year because the rest of the rest of the world can see it
