I thought Ned was good, Wilson a beast again. Who comes from OS? Latu and maybe Skelton? White is tenacious and really competes but I’d have Tate on the bench. Gordon looked a bit lost again. We need a more effective attack. Petaia will help. Maybe Lolesio at 10, JOC at 12 and JP at 13 if Toomua is...

A back rower being stripped by a half back? That's bloody rubbish

Rubbish... Like all 1st 5s he needs his pack working hard in front of him and the AB pack have been playing like millionaire playboys more and more over the last few years.

Looks great, excited for a State of Union, how would that work considering the Reds and Waratahs?

It seems NZR are charging ahead undaunted. Next year SR Aotearoa will be 5 sides playing each other twice with a one off final, then they will potentially play two matches, home and away against the Aus sides, although they have to ask them if they want to first Moving forward we will most likely b...

Holy shit! I knew this would be a cricket post, however, this is comfortably the most impressive video posted on here.

So all that load management for Kawhi seems a bit pointless now. Glad we don't have to hear from Patrick Beverley anymore.

Unbelievable. That is great from the Nuggets.

Paul George current 1/7 from the 3 line, could we be watching a Clippers choke? 1 from 7 overall. The Clippers bench is keeping them ahead at the moment though, Harrell has turned up for the first time this series.

I can really see the logic in starting a new team in the Bay, splitting the Chiefs loyal base in the process and relying on a low population base for support while leaving one team in Auckland and ignoring the substantial PI population and potential for support it holds. That idea really flies. Sti...

Lilliard and McCollum owned the Lakers backcourt to take game 1 despite an epic game from LeBron.

It has been fantastic and it has been telling how established players have noted the week in week out intensity. Having an afternoon game each week has also been awesome. Yep, and no finals meant the stakes were high for each game, especially for such a short season. Reminiscent of early English Pr...

I thought Skyrim was great too tbh. I thought it really lacked in the story department. Quests were boring, many of them carbon copied from Oblivion and apparently Morrowind. Good game and revolutionary but quite a bit more boring for me at least. As far as an open world goes, it was great, but I'd...

I'd take local Otago Tomkinson over Tei Walden, he's developed quite the cult following for such a very ordinary player.

Yep one of reasons Hawkes bay is in picture.

Parents have a farm up in the Patoka Highlands of the Hawkes Bay, it's about as cold as Southland is and just as prone to bloody horrible weather.

New Plymouth doesn't have a functioning stadium so that rules out that backwater A provincial population a little over Southland with no other major population centres nearby that don't already have franchises etc. You'd have to go Tauranga with its rapidly growing population and...

I'll add De'Groot, he's a Southland lad from Southland Boys High School, pretty old school in his approach, would regularly have to pop his shoulder back in prior to every scrum, this was back in school boy rugby mind you.
