I’m in Hong Kong for a couple of days this weekend. Travel advice above has been great

Can anyone recommend a good bar for watching the rugby?

I used to run a little bit but haven’t for many years. 3 years ago I shattered my calcaneus (think of a dropped tea cup) jumping out of a 2nd floor window. Surgeon and physio therapist both said I would never run again but I hate cycling and swimming so I decided to prove them wrong. I started back ...

You would ordinarily expect that if you transgress in a match played on July 1st, right in the middle of the domestic rugby season, and you receive a 4 week ban that would be available to play again by August 19th.

I have a half sister that I always knew existed but didn't have much apart from a 1st name to use in finding her. I didn't even know if she knew of me. Anyway, she signed up to Ancestry recently and was able to connect to some people and fill in some other gaps that eventually enabled her to contact...

If I was skilled/dedicated enough to be a pro rugby player, I would absolutely head overseas at the earliest possibly opportunity. You couldn't pay me enough to spend my 20s hanging around my home town if I had a golden ticket to go and do what I love, living in France, Italy, the UK, South Africa ...

Someone has posted a video later than this thread showing a big offside by Read not being penalised by Poite, and in a kickable position, so I don't think too much caterwauling is required. I regard the main reason for the ABs' series loss to be the crucial red and yellow cards to SBW and Kaino, an...

Finally watched the replay again. Cant believe that more people cant see the correct call as penalty to lions for illegal contact on catcher in air. This contact creates the knock on and thus the offside situation. Read was only ever going to try and slap ball back where as Williams was lifted to t...

How's the vibe in downtown Auckland?

Anyone got any figures about how much NZ Rugby will make from this tour? Must be tens of millions of dollars, surely? Will be a nice boost to NZR's war chest. Whether the All Blacks win or lose tonight, this tour will have been a financial boon for Rugby in NZ. Approx $30m NZD That's not too bad. T...

Just youtube foiling monohulls and it brings up a lot of good stuff. I'm not sure if multihulls can survive the conditions of the Hauraki Gulf. I'd be very surprised if they held the racing out in the Hauraki Gulf again. Inner harbour would be a much better spectacle though most of the noise still ...

The right call was made, eventually. It was very much the right call. Silly enough to be a yellow but not worth the hysteria of a red. Just get on with it. Marginally worse than SBW one in the test. Yellow only. Why is it worse? Goes much further past horizontal and lands on point of shoulder. Not ...
