Used to watch the show occasionally to perve on Tiffani Amber Thiesssn but I thought Screech was the only funny character on that show. RIP.

I'm worried about the picture quality. The Foxtel satellite HD picture is perfect when watching sports but when I connect my Foxtel Go to my TV via Chromecast, it's fine for movies and TV shows but not for sports. The picture quality is choppy and not smooth. It's not as sharp either. Just hope thi...

Two kiwis in the current batch. Not bad at all.

So Hamish lied about this just like he lied about the minutes. The guy has zero integrity.

Bridge and Jordie in the starting 15? You have to be joking.

These camera angles are shit.

Terrible news. RIP champ.

Look it's no secret the Wing position has the highest amount of turnover in the AB squad. I like Caleb Clarke and think he is a tremendous player. I just don't see him starting on the wing or bench for the ABs at the next World Cup. You may be right but I think it's a ridiculous call to make at thi...

Dan Carter was 50 when he played for Racing. Of course he wasn't going to provide the same sparkle he used to in his prime.

A few years ago, Richie McCaw made his comeback in club rugby after being out of the game for months and then was close to being the MOTM against the Wallabies the next weekend. Granted it was the GOAT but still. This nonsense about 500 minutes is just a bs excuse Rassie pulled out of his arse, they...

The lack of game time argument is a convenient excuse. They have already played 3 games so far, add in an in-house game while in quarantine and the 1st round match against an even more underdone Argentinian side and that's 5 games before playing Australia. Not ideal but it's hardly dire either. SRA ...

We really shouldn't be talking to these people but global rugby is now exclusively driven by money men. So we will Good riddance, the SARU are dogs. Hopefully the organisation that replaces them, after the SARU have been sued into bankruptcy, is more honest and reliable and is a positive addition t...

Interesting that 1 week after a draw, that panel can't see the ABs winning by less than 2 scores. I mean, I don't think the Wallabies will win, but that is why you get accusations of arrogance. It's interesting that after 17 years of losing, and one draw in a first up game, the Wallabies think they...

With the upcoming travel bubble, I wouldn't be surprised to see NZ play Australia on the 31st of October and finish the RC on the 5th of December.

Will the SMH provide us evidence of those minutes or are they just going to make a baseless claim? Will you admit kiwis are lying, opportunistic, bullies with a victim mentality if you see the minutes? I can make some calls if you can commit. I will admit that the NZR are, not kiwis in general. All...

I'd acknowledge exactly the same if it was any other nation, including my own. Them's the facts. You left one out - originally the schedule was agreed to end the comp on 5th december. It was changed without notice and the first NZR knew about it was when the schedule was announced. If there are min...

They will get to play 3 domestic games, then they go into camp where they will play an in-house game or two (if they are sensible) and then they will in all likelihood play Argentina who are just as undercooked in the 1st round. That's 5-6 games and a whole lot of training to get match fit. Not to m...

A full two week build up post quarantine isn't good enough for him? He wouldn't get that luxury for tests played in June.

We learned, that despite a massive player drain, if we could choose anyone in the world for the test team, there is no one that’s hands-down better than the kids we’ve got at home. Guys like Darwin and Turinui, whom I rate, think that the player standard isn’t as good as it was 15 years ago. But th...

Must be difficult trying to keep yourself match fit in case you get a game with only a couple of weeks notice.

NPC.

Exhibit A: The NZ-SA pool game.

If average John Afoa can handle scrummaging in the Premiership, am pretty sure Franks will adapt and start to dominate soon enough.

A number of factors. Hansen's shocking game plan (bombs inside the oppo 22) and selections contributed a lot towards the poor performance. He had become stale and should have walked away at the end of 2017. The lack of criticism of him by the media after the RWC annoys me, he had the pathetic NZ med...

I thought the Highlanders have one of the strongest packs in SRA, filled with old school Southern hard men. But the Blues completely out-muscled them. That was boys playing against men. No pack in the comp can match the power and strength of this Blues pack. I haven't seen the pack weights but the ...

Have we ever had this much depth at no8? Hoskins, Akira, Sowakula, Ardie and Mikaele Tu'u would all make quality Test no8s.

Hopefully Laghlan McWhannell, Manaaki Selby-Ricket and Isaia Walker-Leawere can get more minutes in the Mitre 10 and next year's SR. These three have a heap of potential but currently are either injured or can't make their SR starting XVs. In this year's team I would like to see Parkinson and Scott...

I cant believe Super Rugby Aotearoa is almost over, there isnt a final series which is no biggie, but it just seems awfully short. What happens once its completed? Mitre 10 cup starts? They were probably better off having everyone play each other 3 times. Why so much bitterness about the NZ comp? I...

Well we have almost 700,000 players to your pissy little 150,000. We also have 80,000 more registered players than you do. Yet you continue to lose even with such a huge advantage in playing numbers, so RA must obviously be doing a terrible job. Btw, I think you just pulled those numbers out of you...
