I don't know who or what Rachel Riley is or does but she seems to have been a right wit kant on Twitter. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLJmiixW8AAqJdg?format=jpg&name=medium She's "apologised" but only because she was told to. Man, UK conservatives are really gross people. One assumes MBE stands for ...

Why do people keep naming players who look nothing like the unidentified people in the photo?

Is this forum full of Keewees suffering from face blindness?

Ah yes, I do remember McDowall and Lauaki forming a formidable 1-2 ball-running punch for the ABs for those many tests they played together.

Ghost-Of-Nepia

Sosene Anesi on Lauaki's right? Lauaki's left is out of shot. :D better size fit but that would make this the 2005 team. Good point. The other one I thought maybe Tanerau Latimer? Not bad but he didn't debut until 2009 (no Lauaki) and only if the photographer had added the KKK-friendly filter to La...

Pretty sure Luke is the best fit there.

If that somehow turns out to be McAlister, I'll flounce from this forum.

Be surprised if that's Leonard. I honestly wonder if those two are even All Blacks. 2008 would be my best guess for years based on your deductions.

How on earth did I get 10 posts in Best Kiwi? It appears I've posted about 155 times in the past year based on a quick count of my post history.

I haven't seen enough of Luxon to pick up on his style of interview discussion like some of you have. However, I do wonder how he would have fared during the Covid lockdown era in which he would have had to give daily reports in front of a live televised audience and answer those annoying 'what if'...

Or you could just not hold it in a marine mammal sanctuary at the time when said mammals are most in abundance there.

The reason I quite like the abandonment is that it pissed him off.

I don't think the Greens are in free fall, a couple of bad eggs doesn't mean the whole party is rotten. I just agree with other posters that they set the bar so high with their holier than thou preaching to the rest of us that a couple of incidents as serious as these two makes them look really bad...

Please give me a link. Easy money if you wanted to whack a thousand on it What’s going on? Has the Highlanders team bus gone over a cliff? If JP is quoting NZ TAB odds, sadly you won't be able to join up and bet with them. Other agencies have the game as a coin toss ($1.95 apiece on B365)

Someone tonight mentioned that Reece had signed overseas this week? Surely that can’t be true? Anyone seen/read anything? I hope not.

I'm the king of reasonableness so I think I've got it about right when I say it wasn't a particularly sensible thing for Sam Kerr to say, and she should reflect on that when it comes to future interactions with the police, but also how the fudge is this even going to trial??

Yes. Which is why I said he didn't play tests. Was he good enough to play tests if he had concentrated on cricket instead to trying to do both and eventually concentrating on rugby? Hard to say. He was more focussed on rugby by the time he debuted in cricket. But he has pretty strong cricket roots....
