The Dung should’ve locked down a 23 spot after last night. He’s the form 13 in Australia (Lenny is clearly first picked - pure class and test match record) and can play wing and 15 at a pinch. When he played a few games with the Reds at 13 I thought, shite he looks good there. He's looked even bett...

I don't hate that at all. Particularly if Wright and Kellaway are both in the back three. Kellaway was sho...

And do you think it works? Well before the Dupont loophole was even a glint in his parents' eyes. Close that, and yes, it mainly works. If it is shown to work. Why not extend the mark to all areas of the pitch, like in the olden days? Why not bring back two-three-two + wing forward scrum formations...

The law is quite clear Towny below 16, when this grooming started, is a child and therefore unable to consent Correct. That’s what the law says. But I’m asking about the term ‘pedophile’, which is getting thrown around, incorrectly imo. Shirley one can support the law and the correct use of words. ...

What is the definition of ‘pedophile’ that you’re using?
Q.E.D.
Can you post a link to a dictionary definition that aligns with your personal definition?

I'm anticipating more of a demonstration of yelling and arm-windmilling.

There's ethnic cleansing ongoing in Darfur. Will there be any protests about that i wonder? Is anyone advocating for their governments to support it, supply weapons to enable it, and normalise relations with those involved? All while trying to justify it and accusing anyone not supporting it of bei...

This result makes me so very happy. To see the Crusaders he-fucked from one orifice to another, and left lying on the Forsyth Barr Stadium turf post-match like a well-used, dead prostitute on the banks of the Avon gets me so hard I could cut diamonds for Chris Cairns, I mean Player X, with my erect...

I missed Leonard Cohen in Auckland. Up for a mate’s stag do on the same night. But he got trollied early and when it looked likely that he’d be sent home, I mentioned to a mate I might sneak off as some tix were still available. He guilt tripped me that I couldn’t possibly leave a stag do. Within a...

Holloway was our best

BoK is a terrific ref

Holloway was an 8 to start his career he's made a good fist at lock/6, good to see him play well in his old position.

It is.

Yet another quality game. This is taking me back to the early years of Super Rugby and the NPC when I was a kid... matches with intensity during the round robin phase. ... Super Rugby born again? This year has seen a marked improvement. Even the ‘tahs v Brumbies game was entertaining, if only to se...

Those aren't options. Those are all penalties. How about the ref plays to the rules? None of those things are penalties. Into touch would be a defending lineout, and over the line would be a dropout. They chose badly and conceded a try. Once it's called tackle all players must release. If you keep ...

MungoMan

The ref called tackle, the players were static, and then when the Highlanders started to release the ref allowed the Crusaders prop to join the players as if it was a maul and drive them 2m so the Crusaders player could go over the line. All sides must release the tackled player once tackle is call...

That's harsh Gus No. It's fúcken ridiculous. A n gus didn't find a penalty there so there were three options under the laws, depending on what actually was happening. The player was considered tackled (i.e. a knee on the ground). A maul had ended the tackle. There was neither a tackle or a maul. On...

I hope both teams set themselves alight at half time.

It would get folk talking about rugby. Not a bad thing, that.

Fúck me dead but, as the round draws to a close, I am thoroughly tired of seeing alternative strips in various shades of blue, grey/black and white.

Good post Thanks. The Russians had a taste of democracy in the 90s and it was a disastrous time for the people. Putin restored order and the economy. People in the west underestimate his popularity there. Yes, they had a taste of democracy but they also had a three course meal of lawless chaos. Put...

MungoMan

Brilliant game, don’t understand the tap and go over a scrum at the end though, 8 off the base always in front of the 5 line. Taps always seem behind. Risk aversion seems the likely reason. It's easier to stuff up a scrum / get penalised for a bullshit reason than stuff up a tap in the first phase.

MungoMan

Watching both teams warm up, the amount of balls passed that are just not accurate… it’s no wonder we never win the bledisoloe. Haven’t been to a Reds game this year but I’m sure it holds true there also. Skills are f**ked. Yeah, it's a bit that way. Watching Strayan RL vis-a-vis Strayan RU is a ta...

The ridiculous rules of rugby are making it almost unwatchable at times. The defending players are holding a player up who is on his feet just meters from the line, they're told "It's a tackle, release!" They release him and he flops over for a try. An absolutely pathetic spectacle! I've had a guts...

I like scrums too, and agree with the posters saying that fewer scrums is not indicative necessarily of a better game.
