I'm loving these Judo athletes refusing to face the Israeli competitor. You can argue the Olympic movement is about breaking down barriers and having sport speak for human endeavour in isolation, but the reality is gross human rights abuses by Israel are bigger than even the Olympics. Good on these...

3 on 1, two man overlap and no other defenders. That was as clear a penalty try as there ever will be.
Yup, that's the dictionary definition of a penalty try.

I was surprised that the ref did not award it immediately

That false start with the boat was utterly bizarre. What were they thinking

I missed that - was still sleeping. What happened?

Kiwias

The short answer: no.
The long answer: Noooooooo

Go for it. You can always stop if your body can't handle it but if you don't try it, there will come a time that you will regret not having given it a go.

This stadium is an absolute farce. It's a debacle. I simply cannot believe that 10 long years after the earthquake we are still debating about the concept.

I'm sorry, that was unkind. A national stadium does indeed have merit. And Auckland is the sensible place. Of course, land prices in the CBD being what they are we would need to move it out a bit. Probably a little bit south. Central Christchurch would probably work well... Sounds perfect to me. :l...

I actually turned down an offer to be on the turf maintenance team for the Olympics. I am sort of regretting it as it would be fun to be part of a unique opening ceremony.

I reckon I made the right choice.

Simply a case of where we are on roll out. There is a 6 week gap between 1st and 2nd dose. If you have the Pfizer doses though, would you not just shorten that back to 4/5 weeks as was originally intended? They did shorten it i think, but thay still leaves 2nd doses 4/5 weeks behind first.

Are there a lot of people in the UK not turning up to second appointments? I just noticed how low the daily vaccine numbers have gotten, despite 19% still needed a second dose. Ireland has been catching up quickly in the last two weeks on fully vaccinated and will likely pass the UK out next week a...

the last 10 minutes were a nervous time.

Our lads did not seem to drop off their energy levels the way I expected. It is filthily hot and humid and must have been thought for players coming from mid-winter.
