Love that picture...

Gosh, a purported photo some fella sucking another fella’s dick! So.Much.Who.Cares. As I said earlier, just a bigger bandwidth version of CelebScandal. Fine for those who like that sort of thing; a big yawn for those who don’t. Who cares? Everyone who doesn't want a psychopath holding the leader of...

Anyone finding the forum good today?

I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s it felt like this...

We were behind Australia and England and SA at times. It was all doom and gloom... but ten years later we came right!

Patience... by 2050 I predict good things.

Was Pollock gurning? I thought he just looked like that?

Genuine question. If Razor loses against Wales will that be the end of him? I mean Wales is beyond shit. That's not going to happen. If it did, I think he'd be too embarrassed to continue. Didn't Wales try to get Razor at one stage? Sliding Doors. I’d happily let him sleep in on Sunday morning and ...

No impact on the game but check out this outrageous blocking by Pollock on the final try https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/1ozc6py/thoughts_on_pollock_here/ When I saw that live I didn't think it was much, and upon second viewing I still don't. Pollock is entitled to run that supporting ...

Ta. One of Razor's balls on a silver platter then. He can choose which one to sacrifice. A thrashing of Wales will just be kicking the can down the road. The tour of SA next year will be defining... four tests against the Boks... if he loses all four I can't see him surviving... Feels like some sor...

I can't be fücked going through the last few pages of this thread, except to say that it seems to have gone off topic. Anyhow, if Razor was responsible for subbing Roigard for Ratima, I want his balls on a silver platter. Perhaps Cam was injured (didn't seem so), but Ratima was beyond useless. His ...

They purged the cache earlier today.. doesn't seem to have made any difference....

Don't forget McCaw and Co took a long time to get their leadership right.... from his debut in 2001... it was ten years until finally they won the World Cup... even in 2009 they were being spanked by SA three times.... In his autobiography he talks about how long it took them to get it right... The ...

They should set up a fake trip and shoot anyone who applies...

There are a number of reasons why we havent improved. 1. Game plan - the current game plan is failing. Its unnatural to the selected players. I believe he would have better success if he had a team which was dominated by Crusaders who are more familiar with jt 2. Culture - He has spent his entire c...

Full red is maybe a bit harsh.

Probably similar to the Ringrose tackle on Beaudan in the Irish game that was only deemed a penalty?

Sam Cane would like to offer his support...

I'd like to see the report please. We've all known that womens and girl numbers have grown. But teenage boys? I'd like to compare participation rates to historic rates? It defies logic that more kid are playing Rugby than were a generation or two ago. NZ as a society has moved on. Now you are just ...

The GOAT Dan Carter hadn’t nailed down a starting spot at 10 in SR when he was given the keys at 10 for the All Blacks. That’s the difference, Graham Henry (and much like Rassie) had vision and balls in his selections. Robertson, like Foster, appears to be a shuffler, he just shuffles players at ra...

I still think we have the cattle. This was the excuse used when Foster was coach.. yet they still got to a World Cup Final... and nearly won it with 14 men. They also beat SA only a few weeks ago. The All Blacks have beaten England four times in a row in the past 18 months... the difference is the ...

He's right. This is from the Annual Report last year Grassroots continue to grow The community game remains the heart of rugby, and we were thrilled to see that community playing numbers grew by six percent to 155,568. Within that number there’s strong growth in various categories, including teenag...

Yet another one this weekend. Not a spur of the moment decision, but reviewed with replays etc. Is this starting to get silly. I mean they brought in the yellow to red for this very reason, but for some strange reason that doesn't seem to apply to the South African team? Rassie has since said he re...

No one is forcing Robertson to pick BB over and over again while ignoring Mckenzie, Reihana and Love. Robertson not developing another 10 has been an utter failure of his tenure. What happened to the four deep theory? What a load of shite. Ignoring McKenzie? He gave McKenzie the keys to the All Bla...

Razor came into the job with years of hype of his often claimed intellectual ability in Rugby. Yet he seemed to have entered the job not understanding test rugby has some major differences and a more pragmatic approach is needed and then spent 2 years not understanding how to adapt. Dare I say the ...

Plus... in World Cups... luck plays a big part. NZ could still accidentally win it given the right draw...

And it was all a cunning plan all along...

Ok Grandpa I’ll bite, I forgot about Lomax so fair call. How many of those tight 5 options and midfield options get in a top class all blacks side? Front 5: I’ll give you De Groot, Lomax and Holland I don’t care about the rest. Midfield? Roigard would be Aaron Smiths deputy, but no drop off he is w...

This result was far from surprising—I expected England to win. New Zealand Rugby bears the ultimate responsibility for the current state of the All Blacks, but they are also the only entity capable of fixing it. While I initially supported his appointment, it has become evident that Razor and his c...

If DMac and Beauden Barrett are such game-losing flakes, only an idiot coach would keep selecting them instead of building for the future. What if they are the best available? Are you suggesting that Robertson picks lesser players simply because they are different? What a hilarious selection strate...

Foster didn't do a good job. That's why Schmidt and Ryan were brought in.. and things improved to the point they nearly won the World Cup. For me this illustrated the importance of good quality assistant coaches. Our attack was poor again today. Our defence was also poor. Our loose forwards went mi...

Arguing about the number ten is a red herring... the whole team is the problem...

I can't understand why they look worse now than they did a year ago...

Yes, something seems to be happening to New Zealand legendary pipeline of talent. The team is nowhere the team of legend of the past. They feel ordinary, in a 6 Nations way. Rugby is no longer the national pastime of kids in NZ.. What do they do now? Honest q Everything but. When I was a kid... Eve...

I spent years saying I thought Fozzie was doing a good job, it's just NZ just don't have the cattle they once did and Scott Robertson would find test Rugby far more difficult to succeed in because he ain't the first crusaders coach to have huge success and then not reach the top at test level. If I...

It feels like we have gone backwards since we beat England a year ago. While they have improved. Against France last year we looked good even though we lost. We didn't look out muscled. This year we've been bullied far too often. When England fans say this is the worst All Black side they have ever...

MTG came across surprisingly well on Bill Maher last week as well.

Ballsy to turn on Trump even when morally right.

You wonder huh mrb, and I asked that when Fozzie was coach with some of stuff I saw posted. Why I never posted in agreement of the Fozzie out thread or won't in this one. It is funny though to see the same Cantabs that were deriding Fozzie Bear mercilessly now circling the wagons defending their ma...

Crazy to see England with shed loads more individual talent than NZ. Take out Roigard, Savea, Jordan, Lakai with maybe Sititi and Dmac and this NZ team look pretty average. Yes, something seems to be happening to New Zealand legendary pipeline of talent. The team is nowhere the team of legend of th...
