Hard to see how they could make it much stronger. I know a bit has been said about a perceived lack of size at lock but when you have loosies the size of Gardiner and Grace you have plenty of lineout options, as well as their ball carrying prowess. A bit of new talent in the backline. That's got to ...

I wonder if that's the way the second row is trending, a line out specialist paired alongside a lock/six hybrid. Do agree with Brownstone, at the very least the Highlanders (and Brumbies) have probably the tallest depth at lock. Comparatively the Crusaders are quite short at this position (relative...

Hopefully the extra game time will allow Fakatava to really shine. Not so sure about PPP. He has all the physical attributes but just seemed half-arsed/lazy last year. I beleive Holland will be back soonish, adding more competition for the locking spots and putting some pressure on PPP. It would be...

Highlanders to play Moana Pasifika tomorrow. Good to see a decent number of young Otago/Southland prospects sprinkled in there, like Josh Whaanga, Oliver Haig, Henry Bell, Rohan Wingham, Jack Taylor, Will Stodart, Cam Millar and Blair Ryall. Haig and Millar have had a terrible time with injury over ...

Well that'll come in handy when we discover a Stargate.

I just assumed he was very good at running pyramid schemes. Would have been a great fit with Social Credit.

Brush up on your drone skills. The way things are going you may be able to fly missions remotely from your granny's cellar.

The most depressing thing could be what her story may tell us about the state of mental health services in NZ. And the idiots with their threats and access to the internet.

This from Laura Loomer, the woman who Donny Jr thinks should be his daddy's press secretary. Is the Deep State activating HAARP to disrupt the Iowa Caucus?

Hypothetically speaking, what is the best way to prepare a Blue Groper? Simple pan fried? With a side of eggs. Just don’t get all punchy if your misso cooks them wrong, ok? Who let the Saffers on here? Unfortunately they don't do subtle. They wouldn't even recognise it if it leapt up and punched th...

There are loads of new clips on Reddit recently of Russians dying to drone drops or by suicide. It is incredibly bleak. The increasing amounts of drone drop footage is a factor of Winter weather. Russians remain stationary longer in trenches/foxholes and huddle in groups, so drops or kamikazes do m...

There appears to have been a massive upswing in the amount of Russian troops committing suicide in the field in the last two months. Everyday there seems to be new drone footage of not obviously injured troops shooting or fragging themselves. The Ukrainians are a bit puzzled by it as there doesn't ...

I remember him well from the 1971 Lions. One of the brightest lights in a team full of stars.

Misread the title as Hoppy New Year.

Maybe that's what you meant anyway.

Hope 2024 has kicked off well for all of you - even those of you who had more of a Malty New Year.

This sounds interesting.

"Non-frontline" is always interesting. It always sold as things that aren't really that necessary. Yes we need more doctors and nurses. But they're not much good if no one has restocked the pharmacy, paid the bills, tested the diagnostic samples, ordered the test kits, scheduled and organised maint...

Does the size of the sausage have any sort of relationship with the size of Robertson's hole?

Getting away from old NZ politics - there is a US-based motorsport forum I visit occasionally.

Caleb Clarke's publicist deserves a raise. The amount of media coverage his training stint with South Sydney is getting is insane. Who cares? Still, I guess it's taking the NZ Rugby media's focus off Beauden Barrett's performances in Japan. Is BB shitting the futon? I haven't watched any rugby sinc...
