Lots of innocent people are being put to death already. By murderers who don't fear the consequences of their acts. And in those countries where the death penalty is enforced, there is no evidence at all that it works as a deterrent. So let's just kill some more people. Even if some those people ar...

[quote="Noob Frankly if i were the captain i would use the challenge at every decision against me in the last minute of a game [/quote] I'm sure that was Barrett's thinking, and am equally sure that that's going to turn out to be the drawback of this referral business.

Mr Fedora

[quote="guy smiley the measure of Hunt will be how he recovers and plays over the remaining rounds. If he can knuckle down and focus, not let it get to him then good, that's the sort of character we need. He's a quality player with a massive heart. [/quote] Going by tonight's game the signs are good.

Everyone has biases, so it’s natural that refs would too. A ref blowing a 20-1 penalty count to the Super Rugby team from his country is ample proof. But it doesn’t mean he was a cheat. I really mean that. There are lots of reasons for bias and it doesn’t have to be for a preference of one team ove...

Mr Fedora

There were a number of factors making this a game of two halves, but an obvious one was discipline. The Canes in the first half gave away 2 penalties if memory serves. In the 2nd 40 they conceded a high multiple of that number. Difficult to prosper when you're continually jogging back 50 metres to c...

What a mare... what a jockey Happy days You'd go a long way to see an easier Grade 1 win. I don't follow the form closely enough to rate the calibre of those behind her. Were they good enough to elevate her into the superstar class? I absolutely would, is 11/11 - honestly believe she would have won...

Milan Native not in the same realm. Had a small e/w on Cepage which is claw back a few coins. Loved that from Vintage Clouds, great running. Check the ground Cepage made up in the straight - 20 lengths? I really rate Deutch as a pilot but you have to wonder where Cepage would have finished if he ha...

Accusing someone of lying after they have spoken about feeling suicidal was always going to get him into trouble. You just can't behave like that on a public forum.

How stringent is the NZ testing schedule for PEDs? She's got trapezius and deltoid muscles bigger than many top backrowers, Richie McCaw for example. http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3725/2155/320/mccaw_gallahercup.jpg Could many backrowers race their kayak as effectively and as fast as double ol...

They are very naive and a team with a good pair of half back would have already scored 4 tries.

Very much this

I thought so too.

Plain as day. Officials must be blind.

Mr Fedora

Engrossing game. Shame it was marred by some incompetent reffing.

Mr Fedora

Argies hardly mounted an attack. ABs with the ball and territory they had should've doubled their total. A couple of late tries made the score respectable but only served to paper over the cracks.

On the plus side, Whitelock's new look gets a

Mr Fedora

Foster is wasting no time in pulling the ABs down to his level. Sad to see.

Mr Fedora

Congrats Argies. Made the ABs look second rate.

Mr Fedora

Good game from the ABs. Richie Mo'unga PoM - I haven't seen him play that well all around before. The forwards were dominant and the backs looked polished. How long has Whitelock been doing that sterling work!? People have underestimated Whitelock's level of performance as it was hidden by Retallic...

Mr Fedora

Sad. That's too young nowadays.

Never heard him called anything but J.J., so looked him up - John James he was.

Mr Fedora

ABs took their chances, Oz blew most of theirs. O'Connor was a weapon for them last week but was anonymous today and gifted NZ a try with a poor kick. Some good young talent coming through on both sides though and the two games in Oz will be a lot tighter I expect.

Mr Fedora

I hate to whinge about the referee but this is absurd at test level. There's 17 points in this and two yellow cards, and the last one would have won the match for Australia. I really hate to blame the referee, but the facts are as clear as they could possibly be. Swings and roundabouts. If our show...

Mr Fedora

That should have been a penalty TRY and a sin bin. Wales would have got home if it had been. They were robbed The deliberate knock-down? Pen and a yellow every time and a strong case for a pen try imo. Did I the ref hear correctly when he said he was ruling a scrum only on the touchie's say-so, not...

The best one I've ever seen is "The Try from the End of the World" by Jean-Luc Sardounay. It was awesome and epic and I wish I had never seen it. :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CbiNdAgxwM Watched that one unfold from the stand in the northeast corner at Eden Park.

Justin Marshall when he was playing for Sarries enrolled his kid(s?) at my son's club.

Mr Fedora

Two players who really could make it are Teariki Ben-Nicholas and Du'Plessis Kirifi. Kirifi is really starting to show a lot of maturity and is quite a Sam Cane type of player for me. Ben Nicholas has huge potential and hopefully has put his crap behind him. Ben-Nicholas is raw but he's the best yo...

Mr Fedora

Well done Boks. Result was hardly in doubt from the opening whistle (although it must have sent a tremor through the coaching box when it looked as Etzebeth was going to follow de Jager off the field). Outstanding winners

Mr Fedora

All Blacks on prozac after watching the final. They can't complain. It's clear now they bolloxed things up. Probably a choke really. But no one wants to say it. Because it isn’t :? Cause they didn't panic and played to their best ability? What's a choke then if not what we saw last week? The ABs ne...

Mr Fedora

Congrats South Africa. That was a beasting.

Makes me wonder how the ABs beat you in the pool game

Mr Fedora

Over his career he probably beat more first-up tacklers than anybody else in the game. Picking Jordie ahead of him last week was one of Hansen's biggest boo-boos imo. Heart-warming to see him go out on such a high.

Mr Fedora

Barrett wasnt that bad at 6 and it was not the issue as much as all forwards not turning up, a lineout that shat the bed, tactics that were just off and an opposition who wanted it more. Much much more. I look at the lineout we had 4 jumpers vs 2 and yet we didnt put any pressure on the front of th...

Dire Welsh performance. France were better but only in fits and starts. The French lock's brain fart makes him a leading candidate for the dumbest act ever committed on a rugby field.
