Ours is the fastest tight forward on the planet but I’m sure yours is good at other things.

Australia is due for another 13 win streak against Wales. Re-establishing the status quo etc etc. I think what you meant to say is that Australia went on an outrageously lucky run of 13 consecutive games, and that this is going to be balanced out back to evens over the coming years. I think you’ve ...

We're hoping NZ is in a major lock down and they have to play only players playing in the Northern Hemisphere. Mind you, there's still some useful ones knocking about...I'm lacking locks, looseheads and a proper 7, but not far off a team there. Owen Franks Hika Elliot John Afoa Jerome Kaino Victor ...

Agree. No. 2 sounds likely You’re drunk. Reds will light up the Force - they can’t grind down this mob. The Reds love nothing more than getting down to business and they’ve got way too much PoW 💥. Reds by 25. Tahs looking a lot better but Rebels’ bench is too strong. I’ll give the Tahs a chance - t...

I think some mental f*ckers did actually hack their way through the Darién Gap in a 4x4 a few years back. Reminds me of some similarly unhinged folk who drove from Lubumbashi in SE DRC to Kinshasa, 2300km of shit kicking roads and lawlessness for bragging rights The British Army went the whole leng...

It is funny to see people try and claim Crimea is Ukrainian, but the Falkland Islands are British

Have you got this backwards? This isn’t nearly as convincing as I presume you thought it was.

Some digging up, found this. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a document called Decree No. 117/2021 on March 24th. This is all Google translated: In accordance with Article 107 of the Constitution of Ukraine, I decree: 1. To put into effect the decision of the National Security and Def...

Binged that series late early in 2021 and obviously that's exactly what I thought when I read this story

Season 5 was exceptional. It’s become a truly great tv show.

Did anyone read where Toutai Kefu said at a luncheon he is worried that NZR and RA may want to use the MP team as a way to see more Tongan players and he hopes it doesn't happen etc. I wonder if anyone at Lunch thought to ask him what the highlight of his career with Tonga? Does the expression with...

The sad truth is there's really no long term future for Samoa and Tonga in international rugby as relatively competitive sides. Just too small. Not with the current WR eligibility model. But under previous IRB eligibility models, both Samoa and Tonga could be top 8 nations right now. Rugby League t...

Do you like democracy Enz? Because that's really what it comes down to. China is showing increasing signs of being a revisionist power. They don't share our values at all and are actively trying to shape the world around them in their image. They don't give a fudge about rule of law or maritime fre...

Unsure what kicked all this off.....assume it's about NZ trading with China and being a 5I's member. However....it's a bit rich being lectured to by a Brit......as Britain was the China of the 1800s......who colonised and sucked dry half the world to fund the building of castles, statues of themsel...

I'm probably best described as a casual lifter, especially by the standards of some of the beefcakes on this thread, but....I just don't see why you'd want to do it unless you're involved in some sort of competitive endeavor. Perhaps the health risks are overstated but some of the stories do give o...

I can’t imagine 5 eyes is worth a frog’s fat arse as a diplomatic force. More likely it was some sham deigned to trick ScoMo into believing he was internationally relevant and so felt empowered to lead the way in the charge against China. :lol: :lol: :lol: I reckon that's close to it, right there :...

Watched the Ma,ndalorian and enjoyed it. Only quibble is the occasional made for Xbox/PS scene. Bot sure I get the "Side quest of the week" criticism. It's about a bounty hunter. Watched one and a half episode of Your Honor but couldn't go any further. Watched most of Behind her eyes which was good...

I mean do your own thing and all but lets not pretend it wasn't always intend to be a FP platform. The original secret agreement between USA and UK immediately post war was extended to include other signatories and associates in a secret intelligence sharing agreement. As far as I know, that is exa...

NZ have stated their preference to use 5 Eyes as it was intended and for the purposes they signed up to... not as an extended diplomatic platform as it has been used for in recent years. Their concern is not to be seen as simply parroting US foreign policy. The other partners may be content to cont...

I have found that relying on the Poms or the Yanks is fraught with danger. Oz is starting to look the same but hopefully they will get rid of their idiot soon. With the Chinese we know we're getting into the bed with the devil and we have to plan accordingly. They are our biggest trading partner an...

Sued for what?

Valetini was lethal, both sides of the ball. He’d be in the top 5 players in the country atm. Just a beast. His coach was saying afterwards that he’s close to their best trainer these days. We’ve waited so long for the messiah and I need to pinch myself now that he’s come. I wish I remembered the p...

I don’t think it’s a big deal If they’re replaced by Japan or Fiji tbh. In the short term anyway, until they can work out their shit.

It can't be easy for them. What do you mean? The SARU still get all their Rugby Championship TV revenue, despite not having to play a single game. They are guaranteed their no.1 world ranking and they can just sit around and count their money. And the Springbok players can all continue to earn mega...

Tahs centre was excellent. Yep. He hit the scene with massive raps but had farked knees and his attitude slipped. He isn't big but very strong and quick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_k4QZi2CZs Ended up going to league, which was probably the best thing to happen to him. They sorted out any fit...

Reckon that would have been a great night! Every one of those fans will be back. I've seen some criticism of the game quality and I don't agree. Low mistakes, lots of physicality and good management of the rucks and offside made it very entertaining. Perese..... hasn't he come back with some PoW!!! ...
