lol, hang on, he said in the DAZN interview that FIFA said he could borrow then keep the trophy as they were making a replica? wtf? so he actually just stole it??? :uhoh: :lol: Sadly no, that would be great though. It was gifted to him by FIFA months ago, it was always the plan for one to go to him...

Yeah but PR doesn't feel the need to bitch about that as "disrespect" in an article.

Is PR a racist frontage for a hate group?

Vance would make a terrible fvcking president. PErhaps ten years ago he would have been decent but he's well and truly part of the GOP old firm at this point.

Yeah those go pros can take a pounding, I feel like it wouldn't be hard to put one of those in a cockpit.

I know from experience from my own job that certain police body cams and car cams can literally sit in fire for a few minutes before they start to die.

Fr will never win a WC because of this nonsense policy of playing B and C teams. You cant learn to play pressure situations if you don't face them against the best team on a regular basis. We saw this when they lost a good Bok team but hardly unbeatable in the WC. This is BS in my opinion. France i...

It's also about cohesion. In 2007 NZ had so much depth we could have fielded two teams into the RWC and potentially both could have made the final.

Problem is the squad swapped in and out so much they never had much time together, so when things stop going your way you have nothing to fall back on

Yep. Add cost to get in when once they are there the tourists spend on food and beverage and souvenirs plus accommodation. Easy to see how that stable genius managed to bankrupt casinos.

Still, the NRL generates easily more money than any rugby competition in the world. It dwarfs all of them.

I doubt it generates more than the Rugby World Cup.....

League has a napoleon complex. They're only relevant in NSW/QLD a chunk of Auckland and Doncaster, England.

What's funny is that here in US everyone just calls league rugby anyway, so they're just promoting rugby union in a way.

Worst kiwi performance tonight has been Grant Nisbett. How a commentator can confuse Ardie Savea with Timoci Tavatavanawai is baffling. Nisbett was past it a decade ago, the guy needs to retire.

All Blacks were robbed in that game against Wales.

A try claimed by winger Bob Deans was not awarded by the referee and later became a subject of controversy

Have to be honest, I also have my doubts this team can lift a RWC. I think they will struggle against the Boks and the French team. Look at that team and be honest. Would even one of them make the 2015 RWC winning team? I think we just have to accept the fact we don't have the talent this generation...
