So Willemse scores higher at 12 than Jordie who is often talked about as the best 12 in the world? Maybe I've rated Jordie too much on the RWC final as I"ve seen little of him elsewhere. He tried his best to make things happen but perhaps he had no luck. Yeah... PSDT targeting him and no openside t...

Played fullback for his club side last year

I guess at least Eden Park will get a roof?

Or is it Eden Park upgrade... with no roof... just a lean-to?

Eden Park is about to get the nod on Monday. Can’t say I’m surprised but there have always been clueless, visionless Eden park fanboys in Council. https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/heather-du-plessis-allan-drive/audio/trevor-mckewen-nz-herald-sports-columnist-on-the-battle-of-aucklands-stadiums/?...

Supertramp - Paris Live

Every song is so much better than the studio version. Especially Fool's Overture and Crime of the Century. But also the mainstream hits as well, like Take the Long Way Home.

Foster must have answered.

How many breaks does he have this year, how many defenders beaten and how many try assists? No idea. Stats man, stats! I asked ChatGPT to review Rieko... Rieko Ioane is considered a good rugby player for several reasons: Speed and Agility: Ioane possesses exceptional speed and agility, allowing him...

The amount of work he gets through without making mistakes is phenomenal.

Razor name dropped him at the start of the season... So watch this space

Can someone who’s been following this explain what he actually did and why it’s been overturned? Overturned because prosecution used too many witnesses... So more a technicality than any innocence.

If Arteta over the next five years.. wins the Premier League and Champions League... While going close to more of each on other occasions.. Will Arsenal fans be unhappy? I'd love for us to do back to back league titles. While I've been lucky to see Arsenal win a few, I always feel like they should ...

I genuinely think Saffas should be banned from posting on these types of threads They are ridiculously biased and incapable of reviewing talent on its merits. Of course, this bias is well-meaning, innocent and heartfelt, but it still makes for shit analysis And they only include Savea because he ha...

Toto will try to get him and Max to Merc to address the brain drain.

Was supposed to be in advanced talks with Ferrari a few weeks ago.

At least he's still in prison on another conviction.

Who were the nominations for the last world player of the year? Savea, PSDT, Dupont, Eben... And ? Add Malherbe and I think you’ve got your 5 Just checked... Ardie Savea (NZ, winner), Bundee Aki (Ireland), Antoine Dupont (France), Eben Etzebeth (South Africa) So no PSDT? https://www.world.rugby/new...

One league title One European cup A couple of Coca Cola cups An FA Cup We will truly never see Klopps like again More about what he's done for the club than trophies.

They paid £68m for Alisson, £75m for VVD and £85m for Nunez. Get me a violin Coutinho money. Since Liverpool won the league City have spent considerably more but they've also sold considerably more so the net difference is only £70m. I'm not comparing them to dodgyx115 City. But Liverpool have hard...

The change in Germany in the last two years is staggering. We've gone from a naive, reckless, borderline suicidal peacemongering, to Kriegstüchtigteit . Two weeks ago Pistorius announced the re-establishment of the German General Staff (under a new name) for the first time since 1945, and just toda...

Fitting that Klopp is helping the city of Liverpool to keep two teams in the Premier League.

They would be mad, Moyes has done a solid job at West Ham, including a european trophy. They are only a spot or two lower than last season after selling Rice. Hen Haag's CV prior to Ajax isn't particularly impressive. Moyes has come out and said he has been offered a new contract... but hasn't sign...

When he was on that Panel Show.. Would I Lie to You...

Sorry, just thinking aloud.

Grandpa

Thanks. Makes sense.

Well done Punter. Lived up to your name!

Grandpa

How does the scoring work? Is it just using the players place number as a score?

Or is it weighted so more higher picks compensates for lower picks? So picking players that miss the cut don't penalise you as much as players near the top help you?

Grandpa

Ten Haag is toast West Ham might snap him up... they like ex Manchester managers... But Ten Hag looked good at Ajax... so any manager from outside the Premier League is a risk...

I thought this was quite informative by 2 cents rugby a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. Was interesting.

So at club level, League trumps Union...

But at international level, Union trumps League...

So Liverpool are going for Ten Hag 2.00... Arne Slot.

Interesting. I see Spurs were after him a year ago..
