“Cheap, ungrateful immigrant” - that’s pretty poor posting.

Yeah fudge em, they are mostly here anyway.

Kicking winning goals vs the Springboks.

I wonder how Ardern and Trudeau are feeling about this?

JB1981

I don’t hold your confidence that Canterbury will beat Waikato. Those picks could come unstuck in game one.

JB1981

A decent performance. I liked the patience which was a big improvement from last year. On that, I much prefer Jordie’s style at the back to the helter skelter we have seen from DMac earlier in the year.

A pertinent question.

They are at it with a cult-like fervour.

Three more cases picked up at Middlemore - an adult, another adult and their infant. Neither adult has visited any locations of interest or had any known contact with anyone from this outbreak. With “mystery” cases still popping up you would think a drop in levels is out the window. I wonder if peop...

23 cases today. A bit of a step up from the last couple of days but hopefully just a blip.

If Sam Cane wasn’t AB captain, would he walk back into the team on the back of no rugby? We are talking about a lengthy lay off. I would prefer he earns his spot on the back of super rugby next rather than jumping straight back in.

We don’t have mandated trolleying at our local Countdown. It's the first time I've heard about a rule like this too. It's silly. I find the the best way to make people stay out of your bubble is to wear gang paraphernalia, and to ask people "how the F* are you?'. Works like a charm. If that doesn’t...

I see Brad Mooar addressed comments on perceived differences between the North and South after the Barrett hearing. “Actually one of the precedent cases was an outside back from Northampton who faced a similar citing post-match and the hearing resulted in that citing being thrown out,” said Mooar. “...

JB1981

I'm sorry, judiciary. A bunch of Aussie and Pom couch potatoes with massive chips on their shoulders have determined that the card was fair. They have also ordered that Jordie Barrett be banned from all competitive rugby for six weeks. https://www.biography.com/.image/ar_1:1%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl...

He’d have been judged fairly if a Cantabrian. We never held any shots with Brett Cameron or Tyler Blyendaal so would have no reason to do so for Beauden Barrett.

JB1981

Looks like we’ve got ourselves a tag team.

JB1981

Are the Stuff ratings correct in noting that Beauden Barrett had zero running metres? That is astonishing if accurate. I said during the game that he was understated and not taking on the line but still, zero???

I didn't think you had the eye to catch mistakes?

I assumed you were Marc Hinton and just talking Barrett up.

Six games is roughly 500 minutes. We’d be set to face all comers after that.

Bridge and Jordan have some strike rates.

Spongebob - early verdict. Not bad in most aspects but not as good as Richie Mo'unga He’s been understated. The early chip was poor but the grubber to set up Jordie’s try was very good.

On first view I thought McKenzie had pulled out some mad hacky-sack skills. On second view, no.

Last three I think.

Barrett needs to re-chalk his toes the way he’s struck the last two.

Here’s one for Dozy:

after holding out with 14 for 20 minutes we concede after 30 seconds with 15.

DMac is the jinx

Huge try. 5-0 to the good with 13 of the 20 minutes done isn’t bad.

JB1981

Are Jordie and Scott the first brother pairing to receive test match red cards?

JB1981

I don't think it was intentional and he just pulled his knee into his chest but I've also thought for a long time JB does silly things with his feet and knees when going up for the ball. Very clumsy to say the least to give someone a full face of sprigs after going up for a kick. At times he has th...

An irrelevance to the red card.

Which law covers it? Mitigation exists for high shots but I don’t think I have ever seen an accidental kick penalty.

JB1981

Ellafan wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 7:40 am This is messy, but it's an accident. Play on.

Totally accidental.

Thankfully the 20 minute rule is in place so it’s not 50 minutes with 14.

JB1981

We’d have been better building a few phases rather than going straight to the cross kick there.

How good is sunny day time rugby. It looks a great day for it.
