Haven't enjoyed a tennis match that much since Pancho Gonzalez beat Charlie Passerel all those years ago.

I've seen it in a scrum back in the day - the team putting it in had a dominant scrum and was pushing upfield a few meters and the 8 - rather than dribbling the ball forward and risking losing control - put one foot on either side of the ball and secured it and started jumping forward while keeping...

He's getting married tomorrow as well. Is he bailed?

Just watching this in a rugby mad bar in the south of France. Brilliant. Even if I am getting charged more for a Grand Bier than the locals.. Are you obviously not French? :lol: Over for a wedding, about an hour out of Toulouse. Rugby village, all Toulouse mad! Me, Ulster Rugby.... Merde. Fist pump...

It's what he wants. He's provoking it everywhere. A nice blm protest that he can shoot at. Martial law on its way before the mid-terms.

Do you think he thinks of these scenarios himself?

That's why Partey didn't have his Arsenal contract renewed. What is why? I'm sure everyone has heard the rumours. Never mind I see it now Worst kept secret in football Arsenal should be dragged over the coals for continuing to play him Only a few weeks ago they said contract talks with Partey were ...

Then, Russia proceeded to launch a record number of drones on Ukraine. Is he the weakest leader of the free world ever?

On Thursday, Trump held a nearly hour-long call with Putin and voiced frustration afterward about the stalled ceasefire negotiations. “We had a call. It was a pretty long call. We talked about a lot of things, including Iran and we also talked about, as you know, the war with Ukraine,” Trump said. ...

And no wonder . When their centre is a blinkered moron . Projection at its finest. He’s a good team man who plays how he’s told. Why Razor (and every other coach) kept going back to him again and again. :thumbup: Whilst I’d agree I was abit of a bull hog when I played at wing and then centre , I sl...

This team would potentially better by putting Rona at center and Bailyn on the wing. Maori AB should take this I agree . Rona is a competent wing ,with a reasonable turn of pace but he's shown this year that he's a very classy 13 with a big upside. I wouldn't mind seeing Bailyn as an All Black cent...

In theory we should have an early advantage with being used to Nic Berry, but I still have a nasty feeling we're going to end up down to 14 at least once Maybe a genius idea to beat Rassie to?

From a sun bed.

I have to admit the team Razor named has got me a bit more interested in the game. Told ya Reiko was moving back to the wing. Although I don't remember him playing on that side previously?? He played 11 against the Lions in 2017 you spanner. Fvck your face Also we never played the Lions in 2017. Wh...

12:50am in a Lambo- not a stretch to think he was shifting. Could well be...

Only tyre blowout I saw was on m40 near beaconsfield in light traffic, car in front and in left lane was maybe doing 70mph, its front right blew out and he swayed across middle lane and hard shoulder before coming to a stop. Had I been next to him he would have hit me, luckily he was 50m or so in f...

Tyres fail all the time. It's more serious when you're trying to overtake at ridiculous speeds. Sympathy is dwindling. Thank fudge they didn't kill anyone else. Obviously you know the details - Care to share? Not a normal overtake of a slow vehicle then? Looks like it was on a dual carriage way. Wh...

Doesn't explicitly say 1m but that's the generally accepted guideline. The Law says "near". And in the "Definitions" section of the Law Book, it states: "Near: within one metre" https://passport.world.rugby/laws-of-the-game/definitions/ :thumbup: I knew it was mentioned somewhere, just couldn't fin...

OMG.. really? That's terrible.

Does it say within 1m in the law book?

It wasn't sanctioned in the last five minutes of the Crusaders v blues semi.

I'd also have Tavatavamawai on the wing instead of Reece.

Tbh the side or number on the jersey doesn't really matter these days. Wingers play across the field and will swap sides.

Hope so.

Interesting team. Almost like the forum picked it rather than Razor....

That would never happen. NZ need the money from these games. I don't think NZ gets much money from these games? THey get none of the gate.
