Good fun to watch there Nin.  I'm all for having fresh videos to watch and seeing another player's view of the game. 

In regard to recording TS, you should be able to disable your Mike as an input device somewhere in the audio settings for (fraps?).  That way you can still speak on TS but it won't be recorded.

Hang on a minute, I'm just gonna grab a beer, load up my PC and sit back and enjoy some quality flying vids.

Glad to know you appreciate it USA-side.

Try joining the SiMPLE USA server and see if you get in.  Tell us what happens.

Haha that's pretty funny.

I was thinking of heading over to reddit, saying a friendly hello and giving a brief summary of our server/rules etc.

Yeah I totally agree.

Cheers mate.  I'll log on in a few minutes and check it out.

Chameleon?

Good luck god-like man!

You are back?

Coco, I appreciate your love of rugby but I think you're winding me up.

Nice topic choice!

Here's one of the most nerve-racking games of recent years, the All Blacks vs Ireland in 2013.  A little background: Ireland and New Zealand have played each other 28 times over the past 110 years.  Ireland has never beaten New Zealand, the closest they came was a draw in 1973.  Ireland is a top class team in world rugby, they are currently third on the World Rugby Rankings slightly behind South Africa, and they have beaten all other top class rugby nations. 

This match took place at a sold out stadium in Ireland.  It was the start of the Irish playing season and the final game of New Zealand's; New Zealand had won all 13 games they'd played so far and were one victory away from being the first team of the professional era to finish a calender year unbeaten.  Ireland, however, were fired up and full of self-belief that they would become the 6th rugby nation to beat the All Blacks.

Watching the first quarter it indeed looked as if the Irish would make history that day.  The men in green shot out to an unanswered 19 point lead after just 18 minutes and were playing with an enthusiasm and passion the ABs seemed unable to match.  The ABs looked tired, it'd been a long season and they looked as if their minds were already in holiday mode.  When the game restarted after halftime the Irish were up 22-7 and looked to all but the true ABs believers that they would have the match sewn up and the trophy in the cabinet before long.  But there are a few undeniable truths about the All Blacks.  Firstly, they they will weather any storm, absorb any pressure, and counter attack when the time is right.  Secondly, they listen to their coach and at halftime he definitely had a few words to say!  Finally, whereas most teams will train for an 80 minute game of rugby, the All Blacks prepare for 85 minutes, they make sure there's full in the tank at the end.  Oh, and of course, the All Blacks hate losing.

This video shows the last minute of regular playing time when Ireland was on the verge of a historic victory against the All Blacks.  It was 22-17 to Ireland, meaning NZ needed a try to draw and a conversion to win.

TLDR?
New Zealand vs Ireland.
Ireland have never beaten NZ.
It was a close game.
