The acknowledgement of country is a bit overdone but it really only annoys white racists. I love a good welcome to country though, especially when done by an elder who can tell a story. I get out on country a fair bit with work and deal with people in remote indigenous communities and I always love...

Shocked into relative silence by the price of local beer?

Yeah what has brought this issue up all of a sudden? I haven’t seen it come up as an issue? On this bored you mean? It is, you'll be shocked to learn, currently being stirred up by NewsCorp/Murdoch.

More surprised the Georgian government are not sniffing around retaking South Ossetia They are definately sniffing round Abkhazia, especially with the way the Russians are treating them. What are they doing in Abkhazia currently? When I was in Georgia in 2016 I went to a music festival they were pu...

Was expecting more from the Reds but I probably give too much credit to Soup rugby? Daly cooked. They're only missing 8 or 9 but fair enough. I wasn't trying to be insulting I just thought the reds would be a much stiffer test than the force . That 6 played a helluva match. I’d hoped that would be ...

Surprised it took them so long. When a senior consultant tells you they think a nurse is harming babies you can’t just do nothing for a year, and then wait a further year to call the police. This. They have been arrested as they rejected allegations about Letby made by certain doctors. The pro Letb...

There were 3 reasons why that wasn't a try. 1. It hit the post, ball is dead. 2. His knee was on the line before he grounded the ball. 3. He grounded the ball on the dead ball line. He didn't ground the ball..dived over it. His body grounded it.... but ball was already on the line by that point. Ye...

I have seen the light.

It’s his defence that’s impressed me. I knew he was good in attack.
His defence has been excellent

You NH fellas have seen much more of Russell than I, but I’ve thought him to be a good defender before now. Good player.

Well done.

I pissed off to a pub mid-afternoon to watch Ali - Foreman many decades ago and I’m buggered if I can recall how I got away with it.

Toole and Kellaway back to their respective teams for the Lions matches. Guessing that means Kellaway no longer first choice. Jorgo, Daugunu and Pietsch now the preferred wings and bench? Either Kellaway and tupou going back, means Tahs will be something like 1. Lambert 2. Vailanu 3. Tupou 4. Amote...

Richie Arnold plays for Toulouse, right? I don’t know why you NH types are crying about the club World Cup - you’ll soon be able to laugh your heads off when the SH teams are man shamed. We are deadset shitting ourselves down here. Towny, you aren't down there- you're one of us. Oh, Shit. :x :lol:

And there is the flaw in your assumption, and an assumption that is rooted in that 'old clubman at the bar' lore. Let's look at your individual suggestions, shall we, given that messy decided to sidestep that one. Bell - Yes, absolutely. Tupou - Nah. I'd even have Joel Merkler ahead of him. Skelton...

I think the lions were a bit non plussed by the way the ruck was reffed. No turnovers at all, probably contributed to the high possession stats for WF. Is this normal in the SH? I too was was surprised the lions didn't gain the upper hand in the tight, until later in the second half, but they do se...

Risky. Day drinking Lions supporters will have filled it I reckon. The approach there is to start very very early. :x Fúck! Probably right. Have to come up with a Plan B. Quickly.

The most import issue for this match is selecting a drinking location for the prep work. People I know are going to Milton Common, but I'm concerned about how busy it will be.

He could've died. It's not about the force of the slap. It's about being being a cheating little cvnt whose every move should be treated with suspicion and should be slapped at every opportunity.

HMP could play himself into the test team here. Obviously it'll have to be a polished performance but he's capable.

Bin loves to dominate the pitch I don't think he's having a bad game. He's communicating more than usual at the ruck and it's much cleaner than expected. He's also keeping the defence onside. The ruck is cleaner because he's just allowing the attacking team to seal off. As he typically does. Dolema...
