Re: All Blacks 2025
Not a peep out of the Razor fanbois at Robertson using the All Black environment as a safe space for recidivist drunkard felon Sevu Reece. You're welcome to trawl my posting history to see exactly how many times I've said I wish Reece wasn't a Crusader/All Black-especially post his second offence. ...

Re: The NZ Netball Saga
I can't help but recall the Glenn Moore Black Ferns saga and wonder if there are similar factors at play. Basically one or two younger and less mature players who don't like being told they are a bit shit and / or lazy. If you think that's harsh the reports at the time included comments from players...

Re: All Blacks 2025
I dont think describing him as someone who isn't a nailed on starter qualifies as pumping him, but whatever Trevor.
You would hope he could at least do a job coming on late in a tight test match against quality opposition.

Re: Earbuds.
Do you know what ear phones i recommend?
The purple ones with a cord that Air NZ hand out on flights.
I use them at the gym and not only are they compatible with the aging treadmills, they are very robust.
I frequently put them through the wash with my gym gear by accident and they keep on going.
