If he doesn't start he shouldn't be selected.

Massive drop from Smith to Perenara.

Wow, the Springboks are shit this year.

How dare you.

Tasesa Lavea, so crap I'm not going to bother looking up how to spell his name.

Mehrts and Marshall.

I'm finding it hard to enjoy the All Black matches, I keep thinking about this shitty appointment and how we could have been rebuilding and experimenting under an exciting new regime. I have no confidence in Foster and see nothing to look forward to until his contract is up. This team gives the impr...

Time to restrict non essential travel between the North and South Island re:covid. Cook strait is the easiest internal border to manage.

What's more infantilising, being called a nickname or someone getting offended on your behalf when you're the leader of the country and you've openly stated you're not bothered by it?

Just following the social media trends I saw a lot of natural National supporters return to the fold when Muller took over. Bridges had literally driven away some of the dyed in the wool, true blue voters. He was that bad. Whilst everyone was disappointed in Mullers dismally short reign I think tho...

Seriously wtf ?Paddy Gower and other reporters doing crosses to camera with masks on !!! fudge off you virtue signalling cvntwaffles it ant spread through the telly . The camera person is socially distant . I don't have a problem with that tbh. You can call it virtue signalling, but modelling behav...

Exhibit A: The NZ-SA pool game.

If average John Afoa can handle scrummaging in the Premiership, am pretty sure Franks will adapt and start to dominate soon enough.

If he can be bothered, he could just collect his fat pay cheque and enjoy his northern holiday.

What a massive endorsement of her leadership from across parliament in this time of crisis, congrats Jacinda.

They obviously need to get some glimmer of media attention running up to an election, given the solo platform/spotlight Ardern is having every single day due to Covid, Criticising how they say things doing it is fine and tend to agree, but to just blow them off as being "negative" is a bit silly. E...

Just beaten by the better team on the day.

That team was under the least amount of pressure of any All Blacks WC squad ever.

If Labour were polling at 29% and decided to delay the election wouldn't that also be a seen as an abuse of power? I can imagine the outrage at what would be seen as a desperate bid to cling to power without an electoral mandate. Some folk are small minded. There is a bigger more important picture ...

Hopefully this is all posturing and bargaining from the NZRU. I would be happy to see 5 Aussie teams in a trans Tasman competition. We need to stick together against the northern fuckwrs. We can't afford more than 5 fully professional teams. New Zealanders that want to limit Australia's options are ...

BlueThunder

So what happens if they delay it and there is another outbreak or we haven't quashed this one? I'm all for Labour to govern indefinitely but was hoping they could ditch Winston.

BlueThunder

It's fascinating the National party and the right wing talkback crazies are all coming out and accidentally demanding that Ardern continue as Prime Minister indefinitely (until things "settle down" which could be never). Why is it fascinating? It is a ridiculous scenario if the levels get extended ...

Does anyone know what quarantine measures are taken for airport workers, or anyone that has contact with the arrivals at the border? I know they get tested regularly and there will be an appropriate roster system, but I’m assuming they aren’t quarantined and go back to their respective homes/famili...

Competition now null and void and should be erased from the record, what a pity.

BlueThunder

Time for the mask debate I guess.

fudge, Covid confirmed in the community in New Zealand. :( How though? Are you guys still all but cut off from possible transmission routes? Citizens have been returning from overseas into managed isolation, we have had some escapees from quarantine. Flight, airport, hotel and security staff are al...

Auckland going into lockdown.

No known source.

NO vote is for nanny state wowsers, change my mind.

The fair-weather fans in the stands don't care about the minutia of team selection, they want to see the team in Blue thrash the team in red. Slightly more savvy fair-weather fans will take note that (if the Blues win) they will have won every home game in SRA. If Robertson makes acheiving a win eas...

East of the ranges/main divide is best climate, on both islands

BlueThunder

Ben Smith had a shit debut.

BlueThunder

I thought Mils was flakey, error prone and not up to Super rugby standard. He turned out quite the opposite.

BlueThunder

I reckon Christie's second try was the highlight of the year so far for the Blues. From the clean ball off the top of the line-out, to the kick, the chase, the counter ruck, the kick fake, the PASS, the offloads and the finish. Brilliant team try.

Sotutu and Robinson would be so good in this selection.

Labour have avoided forming Government with the Greens whenever possible. The Greens are ideologically tied to Labour but they are not friends.

BlueThunder

Got to try and make the most of home town advantage, boo the kicker, boo even slightly controversial ref decisions, let out a horrific "AWWRW!?!" if the opposition are offside or commit an offense, if a home player is tackled in a dangerous manner act like someone has been shot. Just the usual to ma...

BlueThunder

Big moment towards the end when there was a big tackle and Blues drove them back a few metres. Bloody lucky to get the win, Blues need to sort their discipline and manage the refs. Seems like they are on the wrong end of the penalty count every week. ALB almost did what Laumape did last week, extrem...

The Blues discipline has been terrible this season.

The Greens usually poll higher than their results. A good chunk of those that say they will vote Green in a poll don't actually bother voting. What you are thinking of is usually the Green's election day results improve once the special (overseas) votes are counted. Although I don't think they had m...

Lamborn has been great in defence.

But effective. That's how you win titles, not with x factor/razzle dazzle. Aren't you a Blues fan?

Not being serious, more amused at how un-Blues like it is.

Boring play from the Blues.
