Re: Spear and Loathing 20 Years On

Hard to believe that so many of us who were posting about that incident on here at the time are still on here posting nonsense 20 years later.

Good on you all, fellow rugby fans/ internet saddos.

Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed Saturday morning at their home in Brooklyn Park in what Gov.

Re: Congratulations Richie Mo'unga!

I just feel like although Richie sometimes looked good playing for the ABs, that never really happened consistently. Carlos Spencer was kind of similar.

I feel like the international game is a different beast to super rugby, and some excel and others do not.

Re: All Blacks 2025

I like it when the ABs play one fast skillful guy on one wing eg Will Jordan, and a big guy on the other.

Mind you I remember when the ABs lost to England in 2002 the press here were raving about the pace of our backline, but our forwards were not up to snuff.
