Piri Weepu you beauty

AAA

Published: 10-Oct-2011 12:13

When Dan Carter went down with that freak groin injury, the entire nation collectively let out a groan that could be heard around the world. Anger, confusion, self-sorrow swept the country.

Who could replace the irreplaceable? Who's boot would we look to when we need the oval kicked between the sticks?

Colin Slade? Good effort, but no.

Piri says chill the f*** out Piri Weepu.

After a dominating performance against Argentina in the quarter finals, Piri and his spot-on kicking have given us kiwis all a new sense of hope. Hey, things aren't that bad.

So here's to the Weepu, you've won us over. We hope your back is big enough chief, cause you've got a heap of people on it now.

What do you think - should Weepu start at first five?

Hell, we reckon stick him in both 9 and 10 positions - he can do both.

Watch Weepu lead the haka against France

Very proud of Piri (james must be racist) get over it James you couldnt do better than that.
Also in Piris defence he wasnt really supported enough by the hierachy. He's a warrior kia kaha Piri.

yeah his kicking was bloody good but you cant stand at the base of a ruck like that against a team like australia look what happened last time he played against them there was 4 turnovers just from counter rucking cause he was just standing around one of which resulted in a try 2-3 phases later. hes definately not waiting for a prime moment to pass when you make a 30 meter break and are 10 meters out with an over lap you pass the ball like a half back should not let the defence get settled again, im not saying rush all play but when your hot on attack get the fucken ball out.

Haha, bugger off James you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Weepu is an awesome half back and he kicks like a boss. He isn't over rated, he's under rated.

Weepu is the man for sure. Keep him at #9- Cruden @ 10 & bring back Gear to fill in for Mills & replace SBW on the wing. Gear hasa much better defensive game & he'll smash James (Beber) Oconner

James you absolute muppet, do you actually believe if he rushed all his plays instead of waiting for the prime moment he would be the ikon he is today. Wake up james
