Dunno if it was discussed on here but I found the attendance of both Key and Clark at that supervillain AGM last week in Beijing fascinating. Both have been Sinophiles for a long time (for differing reasons), but it was a strong signal from nz I felt. Couldn’t send Luxon, but Clark and Key going ha...

So just to be clear, ACT are not forcing the end of Maori wards just a binding referendum on Maori wards ie giving voters the choice on whether Maori wards should exist but they are the ones holding the government to ransom? So allowing a democratic vote on an issue is holding the country to ransom...

I missed the first half live but have watched highlights - was there any discussion of whether Pollard should've been penalised (or carded) for leading into an aerial contest with his knee and injuring a player? Didn't Jordie Barret get red carded vs the Wallabies for something similar a few season...

Ah, so she's the one who set up the account! Well duh, she married me didn't she? :uhoh: My wife told me the other day that she never has to worry about me having an affair for two reasons, firstly she would have get it set up and secondly she’d have to remind me when to go…all true :lol: :lol:

Clearly ridiculous. No one wants to come in as a third supermarket chain because NZ's population is too small. An upfront investment of 2-3 billion is required minimum to be the smallest player. In Australia they have 4 large supermarket chains and 26 million people. 6.5 million people per chain, o...

I see NZ is getting some attack helicopters. I mean it's only five of them but that's enough to take Tasmania ? I wonder if NZ will finally think about getting some fighter jets. If there's a blue-water platform for ‘em, maybe. They won’t cross the Tasman under their own fuel. Based in, say, Upper ...

Possibly the most enjoyable game I've ever watched as a neutral. A team who have been disrespected for years - having their right to host Lions tours questioned and battling away for eyeballs even within their own country - up against the ubermensch Springboks at altitude, going 22-0 down, and then...

So RUC for all is coming in. Can't wait for all the massive rorts to materialise and people clocking or understating their mileage. No incentive to dial back those emissions either, though hopefully there'll be significant differentiation on axle weights. Remember, it's non-linear to there should b...

How JGB still gets opportunities at this level is beyond me.

More to the point, how on earth is he still only 30? I thought he must have been about 38 by now?!
He just fools you into thinking he's that age by playing 10 years above it!
You mean kilos right?

Strong starting line up, don't know anthing about the bench outside of Harkin who should be starting. Lakai to get some game time before joining the ABs.

Entertaining half (maybe not for French), both sides making attacking metres but the all blacks spending more time at the right end. Well done Proctor to make that play at the end of the half to deny the French a chance to bounce back before the break. French lineout is killing them, you can't win ...

Have to say with all the hand wringing on this thread after that first half he seems to be a pretty damn good ref ... streets ahead of Berry although that's not hard atm.

Twenty or thirty years ago he had the knack of winding up kiwi rugby fans down to a fine art.

Feeling very conflicted about cheering for Frizell. This looks like a team designed to belt the snot out of another one.
