Re: Bledisloe 4 - Good v. Evil - Stolen Oz/NZ match thread
Really poor performance by the ABs :( No control of the game, far too many stupid penalties which was the most disappointing for me, too many poor kicks and just not enough enthusiasm. Reece was trying too hard (sort of understandable), BB just didn't control the game, losing Ofa meant we basically...

Re: French terror attacks.
i love the juxtaposition of certain people saying to respect the muslim faith while only a few months ago their ilk were shitting all over Israel Folau for his beliefs.

Re: Hurricanes v Chiefs
Chiefs totally disorganized on attack. Not only that their passing was among the worst I've ever seen from a professional side. Hardly once did I see pass someone could run onto. McKenzie sadly looks a spent force after his knee injury. He's not quite Milner Skudder slow, but whereas last year you ...

Re: And the new ABs Captain for 2020 is...
Whitelock shoving Farrell in the face and getting a penalty reversed killed off any NZ comeback in that SF match and thus the Allblacks chances at a threepeat.
He gavrilo pricip'd his own team and provided me with this juicy bait for Ali's Choice.

what gets me is the attendance....... rugby is gone to the doldrums. it meant something then. It means fudge all now. For me as a 36 year old the peak was 1995-2005ish . It went to shite afterwards.

"emotional pitch" wins matches now?
The difference between Bledisloe 1 and 2 and then the subsequent Ireland loss to NZ, NZ loss to Eng and then Eng's loss to SA.
Has the gap narrowed to the extent that its just a matter of who's up for it more emotionally on the day now ?
