Jimmy Kimmel gets the chop because of his comments about him. Land of the free indeed... Is this what got him cancelled? Surely must be more to it? “The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can t...

For fucks sake, you soulless, po-faced fucken cretins, go sit in the corner with Rodney. :blush: If you don't agree with this fair enough.. (Not even controversial really)... but enough with the abuse... you need to calm down. Sorry Grandpa, but you need to take your own advice. Oh hang on, maybe i...

What might have happened in the first game if the Boks got more pay from their dominant scrum and their line out didn’t malfunction? Nothing went their way that game so they didn’t get going until 60 min. Had they played that way for 80 they would have won. There is some fanciful bullshit on the NZ...

Listen to Kirks interview with Megan Kelly. He laid bare the threats they were making Do you have a link? Watch from 3.42. He was seen as key to keep Israeli control of America now and the future. Traditionally they use blackmail like what Epstein did with the likes of Clinton and Trump, or they us...

So Kirk was being threatened by Israel and the Zionist shrills. Netanyahu offered to pay more so Kirk would become their Spokesman. Israel is an evil state that has taken total control of the American political system through blackmail and money. Quoted to preserve this beauty in all its glory :lol...

No he hasn't. He's just reigning in the over exaggerating of Kirk's modus operandi. He's not the benevolent conservative the right want us to believe, but nor is he a Klansman in disguise either... Exactly this. For fucks sake, you soulless, po-faced fucken cretins, go sit in the corner with Rodney...

Rassie started with Kolisi, Kitshoff, Malherbe, Bongi, Etsebeth, PSdT, Kolbey, Francois Louw and Deon Fourie. OK he ignored Willie at the Boland. I'm not sure I understand your point? I said Rassie proved you can be a successful test coach without having great success at lower levels... as in troph...

Their focus on Eden Park had been building for a long time. Pressure was immense to not be THE team to lose the unbeaten streak. Boks had their chances but were error prone. The following week NZ were spent mentally and the Boks had much to prove. A perfect storm. What does that mean and how do you...

2 stints over 3 years in 14 year's of coaching. Its oretty unremarkable record tbh and doesnt scream future coaching genuis tbh Rassie is a good example of a previously average track record not always being relevant to how good you'll be at test level? If you look at his track record, you will see ...

You got to many questions. It work for us.The longer you keep it, the better for us. Unlike SA we don't have most of our national team squad playing outside SA... so you can't compare it. It only worked for you because you had a problem with too many of your best players leaving SA'n domestic rugby...

Have they all lost the art of heads up rugby? That used to be the great USP of All Black rugby... now we look so prescriptive... and not just off first phase.

Poor moose :(( He ironically and unintentionally backed up my point that people will frame what's been said through their prior political biases and be certain they are 100% right without any actual hard evidence. TBF EDF, you've been coming across as a bit of a white twat lately. Take it on the ch...

Schmidt is a no go. Wants to spend more time with his family. In addition he has issues with the NZRFU after Foster Same reason he came back from Ireland... to spend more time with his son. Then he took the NZ assistant coach gig.. and was willing to become head coach then. But not working with Raz...

I know what I forgot to mention, the Saffa's are stealing the Irish supporters song! There was a group behind me, and one would say hey Robertson and then the would sing "In your head, in your head,Rassie, Rassie, Rassie to tune of Zombie. Made no apologies just said they felt he was way smarter co...

Referee: Andrea Piardi (FIR) AR1: Matthew Carley (RFU) AR2: Morné Ferreira (SARU) TMO: Marius Jonker (SARU) FPRO: Andrew Jackson (RFU) Does the 6Nations get assigned SH refs? Lions series OK, but I dont get using these NH refs with different interpretations which disrupts the flow of the game never...

When it became a problem that the Reds wouldn't release Kiss until after Super next year, without compensation. So Joe said he would stick around until Super finishes next year. So in effect.. until the end of this year? As no Wallabies matches between then and end of Super Rugby? Razor has six ver...

Cron is I think finishing at end of RC, Schmidt is there until next year. Cron hasn't been a Crusaders coach has he, so Combover probably wouldn't be keen anyway. ;) Oh when did Joe change his mind? Said he was leaving after the RC when it was announced? When it became a problem that the Reds would...

He's busy and apparently very happy- Will he be leaving with Schmidt in a few weeks? Tell me that you know when Schmidt is leaving. ;) Only going by this.. but sounds like he might have changed his mind then? Not at end of RC? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/ce9nm9kvdk7o

What's Mike Cron doing these days?

Dont get caught up in the AB hyperbole, it was still winnable at 65min, only then did NZ switch off. They could easily have won. But they looked like a Super team. They just gave up. the last 3? tries were just them waving the SA player through. It was bizarre. It was like they just thought the 10 ...

Mils Muliaina might disagree. Two plays he identified on The Breakdown as being critical factors in the game centred on poor kicks from Beauden Barrett. Mils said the biggest reason for the loss was a lack of alignment beyween coaches and the players combined with the players panicking. At least if...

That's it really.. possibly Sam Cane too.

Wrong Sweden had almost no restrictions on the general population, which significantly reduced the number of deaths This allowed the Swedish economy to outperform most of the world without borrowing Per head of population, Sweden also had more than twice as many deaths as NZ. And NZ Rugby isn't in ...

He decided on his own to go ahead without consulting with his SARU partners about the way forward. He is to blame for this. Do you never get tired of pedalling this nonsense? There was simply no way to include South Africa or Argentina in a competition while COVID was affecting the world. Some gove...

But even then isn't that going to encourage top players to leave? At the moment only Mounga who would still be picked is overseas.. and he's coming back... so why encourage more top players to leave? I don't understand the thinking... as I said.. if we have players like Ardie, Jordan and Roigard go...

See post above. You hadn't set a threshold when I answered this post. Noone has ever suggested that overseas selection wouldn't have strict parameters. And if the opponents didn't realise that there would always be criteria set, then they haven't thought enough about this important issue. Asleep at...

He was the president. In business the CEO take that punishment for bad decisions. Vok, he could just made a phone call to his partner. Is that to difficult? How could it have been stopped?

The best players went overseas and all of a sudden all the second best players are getting a start so arguably this builds depth and gives the selectors a better look at a greater pool of players. At a lower standard cause all the best players have gone... will turn into NPC standard as will be NPC...

He decided on his own to go ahead without consulting with his SARU partners about the way forward. He is to blame for this. Once again, you being stupid, he does nothin without the board telling him.

I’d like to see a poll of openness to reconsider our overseas selection policy on ABs with 50+ caps (or something of the like) broken down by age. I suspect a paradigm shift is required for us to be able to look at it with fresh eyes. Both Australia and South Africa are doing it successfully but it...
