Rather than big up NZs (and Australia's, and Europes etc) reactive approach, might be better to learn from those countries than have been through this a few times now. I’m not. I was echoing FOG’s point about what could be learnt from NZ’s approach and comparing the approach Taiwan took having alre...

Like a lot of South East Asian countries, Taiwan benefited from having been exposed to earlier SARS outbreaks... Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu told CNN the deadly outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 had taught them a lot. "At the time Taiwan was hit very hard and then ...

Man you talk some nonsense sometimes . Sorry, can you provide me with different information about how many games Reece played for the ABs this year. If he was a Chiefs player you wouldn't get out your trusty stead to defend him. Reece hasn’t been named because someone thinks Jordie ‘kin Barrett is ...

Good work on the OP Carfer, as always👍 I’ll miss this as I’m at work this week but I’m looking forward to catching it later... the chance to see another team in action is fantastic, regardless of expectations or predictions. Having test rugby back is fantastic. Best wishes for a good game.. and I do...

Carter. When I was a kid I idolised Meads. BG Williams set the world on fire for a while. Those guys cast the sort of shadow that stays long as you get taller beside it. That sort of childhood hero worship just never leaves you, right? Carter. By a country mile. Just a sensational rugby player and a...

I’m certainly deeply appreciative of your work here Mr Mike.

Getting back to whataboutery, let’s not forget that time NZ broke away from the Australian / Antarctic supercontinent 85 million years ago. What, do they think they are too good for us? The first example of Australia kicking out Kiwis that had lived there all their lives. Shameful. Your island kept...

If you avoid the trap of thinking like Bimbo and misinterpreting statements to suit your inflamed agenda then you can surely see the policy of vaccinating high risk groups first would leave children out of the program purely on a cases as proportion of population basis. But lies, lies, lies the econ...

Nah. No defense needed. We’re just laughing at you mate.

Chuck up another clip showing Wallaby players neck rolling All Blacks. That’s always good on a slow Monday.

LOOK AT HIM M8.

guy smiley

Nah, no need, Cane can keep being an unexceptional stop gap back row for the all blacks for the next while. Ok, I'm not gonna bother arguing his merits as a player, but I'm still waiting on some more examples of his apparent thuggery. You've said he's a thug, Thomas reckons he's a hothead and thus ...

NZ look very beatable at the moment. First I've felt that in about... 10-12 years or so. You do realise that wasn’t nearly our best XV don’t ya ? 1. Karl Tu'inukuafe (15) - Joe Moody (48) 2. Codie Taylor (53) - Dane Coles (69) 3. Ofa Tuungafasi (38) - Nepo Laulala (30) 4. Scott Barrett (38) - Brodi...

Lions won't happen. Play it in GB & I. Tests in London, Cardiff, Embra (or Dublin). A few tour games scattered in. It will likely still be plague-riddled BUT ... the players (Boks and Lions) are mostly going to be plying their trade there or thereabouts anyway. Brilliant... the Saffas can be part o...

No, of course not. That’s just ridiculous.

It was only 49.1%.

Idiots.

Rampant fools.

Yeah but I was too busy throwing things around at every one of Aaron Smiths ducking box kicks to pay much attention.

I haven't seen any evidence that AB fans want the team to fail so that it reflects badly on Foster. That's just a dishonest post. I am one of the most anti-Foster posters on this forum and I've said repeatedly that I'd love to be proven wrong, and for him to lead the AB's to great success. I've see...

NSW is only just keeping a lid on their infection rate with little clusters popping up every few days lately...

Attacking the poster and not the post eh Clogs.

Isn’t that something you accuse others of doing?

guy smiley

As I said I think it was the correct call because he got up onto his knees. I'm just saying he did not move forward. If you mean he didn't crawl forward sure. But getting up to a knee means you can reach further forward, that's what I was meaning by propelled himself forward. He wasn't trying to re...

Dan Andrews is the only leader on earth to successfully manage a genuine Covid-19 2nd wave, and yet some people want him sacked. The rest of the world must think we are nuts. Meanwhile Dan Andrews is outlining the roadmap back to normalcy in Victoria. Andrew's incompetence caused the so called seco...

So news breaking that rather than 17 Kiwis flying into Victoria the other day it’s actually 55.... And Federal MInister Alan Tudge is trying to argue that the Vic govt agreed to let them in :lol: I mean, sure. They would have done that. It does actually look as if the Feds are trying to sabotage And...

Yeah nah Farva. Anyone want to argue Aaron Smith over TJ? It won’t affect the result, we have been comprehensively outplayed. But it is an interesting point to look at. What did he do that constituted a penalty. At first glance I thought penalty but what did he actually do illegally? He remained ta...

And there’s the game after both teams embark on some extra time play for the fun of it.

Anyone want to argue Aaron Smith over TJ?

Knees on the ground constitutes a tackle. So he was on the ground tackled. Got to his knees, still tackled. Then placed the ball by getting back on the ground, still tackled. Maybe there is an argument for holding while tackled but given you can place the ball when tackled I think that’s a long bow...

Poor reffing.
If you think that's a try you're as dumb as the player.
There is no double movement in rugby, and he didn’t get up or propel himself forward.

He can’t get back up onto his knees mate, regardless of whether he propels himself with them or not.
