We share a lot of similarities with our interests in sports. This particular comment caught my eye though, because I've been wondering the same thing.

An odd little piece on protests, covering, to an extent, the age old question of 'why this and not that?' https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350310884/damien-grant-protesting-vibe-and-centre-right-caution NZ is a funny place. It's amazing how many people think the world's political problems are there...

Leave Kiwi Saver alone, you diabolical idiolectal vandals. If anything, raise the rate of saving to make the inevitable reduction in pensions, down the line, more bearable. Agree with the rate change. I'm also not a fan of people being able to use KS for 'emergency' purposes, but I understand that ...

For the Hurricanes, there were just too many damned errors today, and the execution of some of the kicks and passes was poor. There also seems to be a skill deficit in being able to clean players out and secure ball at the breakdown. As a former fullback, I also thought the Canes let the ball bounc...

Didn't he get the card because the recipient was one of the smirk brothers? Last I checked, rugby was a contact sport but TMO seemed like he wanted to be on the pitch all night. Shocked because Luke committed and no way of knowing the dummy was not on. I didn't even see it as a penalty so when I he...

I was disappointed with Aumua's performance due to some costly errors. He had one bad read on defence early on in the game, which cost a try. And his two badly timed runs when running ahead of the player on his inside is just unforgivable (as a person who played out wide, I can't understand why play...

I would think Jordie may have played his way out also, his defense was shocking. When you step back and look the that Canes squad, don't none of them look like world class players. Lomax and Aumua aside. Jordie will be one of the first names on the team list. I don't think he owns that 12 jersey at...

Lakai will be a squad member through to 2027. Unfortunately, at crunch time he had a real shocker: 4 missed tackles 3 turnovers conceded 2 penalties The Chiefs won 10 turnovers. A shocker? Definitely the Chief's backrow were clear victors but Shield's and Iose were far less effective than Lakai , w...

There's a bit of 'prisoner of the moment' syndrome going on with peoples' selections at the moment.

Congratulations Chiefs fans. The better team won the game. Good luck in the final. Kia eke panuku, mauri ora!

So much for all the evidence supporting the early detection of treatable health problems. Just smoke, drink, eat takeaways and sit on your @ss all day in ignorant bliss. Sounds reasonable.

I suspect Putin's sudden interest in "Peace" might have something to do with an impending water crisis in the Crimean Peninsula. I don't. I suspect Putin's offer for a peace deal is a prelude to something else about to happen. Hence my earlier question about whether Russia has retaliated yet to Wes...

It also varies by date of both from a requirement of 10 years up to 20

Thanks. I've now edited the original post to clarify.

Genuine question. Has Russia retaliated yet due to Western weapons now striking military targets in Russia?

I have to pick up a family member from the airport this afternoon. I hope I don't miss the bloody kick off.

I find it odd how so often much of the rhetoric is usually around comparing NZ with Oz, yet comparing Kiwisaver with Super isn't one of them. Kiwisaver is dud in comparison. The contributions seem so low in NZ but I guess Australia has had time to incrementally increase the rate - something NZ woul...

I see, once again, that changes are being proposed to KiwiSaver (whether those changes are made is another story). In my view, KiwiSaver is a good system (with some flaws), but there's still the fundamental problem that NZers, on average, are just not saving enough for retirement. And although I hav...

I don't. And I don't care if others do or don't.

Some of the conservatives on this thread seem to be getting their tits in a tangle.

It weird weather, that's what it is. Still no wind as yet.

They'll be a lot of hot air coming out of Waikato and the Bay of Plenty region, if the Chiefs win.

I wonder if Cameron or JB will kick for the Canes?

Mckenzie 64 goals @85.3%
Cameron 43 goals @66.2%

Advantage Chiefs. Damn, that's an impressive percentage over the course of a season.

It completely contradicts what’s coming out of Wellington and requires advertising for frontline to be curtailed unless it passes through the hatchet man that passes as the l...

Geez I can't stand Doncic - complains he gets fouled on every play and then whinges whenever he gets called for a foul. Play defence with your feet you lazy fudge. I loved seeing him have a whinge to the refs only to see his man get a fast break dunk down the floor - only topped by him fouling out....

Flanders is unlucky not to be starting. The 6:2 split is very risky, IMO. Gulp! Coach is obviously expecting a tough battle up front. If the worst case scenario happens and three of the Hurricanes backs gets injured, I guess Kirifi will need to man up and join the backline. I would have thought Lak...

I'm not going to say anything negative about Ratima, because I haven't seen enough of his play. However, I will say this - the Chiefs backs would love to play outside TJ. He's been the form NZ halfback in SR this season. Too slow recycling the ball at the breakdown. (TJ) (and Ratima for that matter...

The point is I think that when even props and hookers are getting carry and defenders beaten stats fast ruck ball, delivering the ball before the defense is set, is king, while the converse able to make a dominant tackle in defense gold. Yep, and it’s why the Chiefs rarely get quick ball to the bac...

Good call. I had also been wondering much influence a team's game plan has on some of these individual stats.

Perfectly sensible investment strategy IMO The bit that’s missing is the tax strategy.

I didn't reference it, because I saw somebody else had. Again, it had a great musical score, with the guitar riff being a highlight.

If the Hurricanes play like they did against the Rebels, and the Chiefs play like they did against the Reds, the Chiefs will win.
