Rogan triumphantly cheered that “TEXAS WENT RED BITCH! WOOOOOOOOOO!” during his recent election special. I don’t know how anyone who watched Rogan back in the day can claim with a straight face he hasn’t taken a noticeable right turn over the last couple of years. He really seems like someone that h...

OK fine, if you want to go with that. I can see why being forced to not show pride in the flag and anthem (or flag or anthem of another country which would be even more absurd) might grate a professional sportsman. You could make anti-racism gestures without sending that specific message Gibberish ...

The undertone is exactly what he said : “ I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” That is showing the opposite of respect isn’t it? If you’re telling people to kneel, that is the specific statement they are being coerced int...

I just don’t think race based salutes lead to a very good place.

Isn’t ‘taking the knee’ gesture meant to specifically be to show shame/disrespect to the national anthem (ie. to instead of being proud of the national anthem display the opposite?). No-one (I suspect) would be against making statements against racism or supporting initiatives promoting equality etc...

The original Halloween came on the other night, first time I’d seen it in decades, it was comically bad to the point it took me right out of it. Even the iconic theme music sounded a lot tinnier and weaker than I remember.

I would have taken these results every time if you had asked me before the series started. I'll lose faith once the trophy cabinet starts to clear out.

So positives for the All Blacks. Jordie Barrett has really emerged as a class fullback. Savea was good tonight, as was Weber. Negatives Tuipolotu, and our bench props are not up to it. Anton Leinert Brown and Luke Jackobson are ok squad members but not the players we should be building the spine of...

The 50/20 rule is a load of crap though. Yeah not sure if it was just because it went against my team tonight but I almost think its a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. A long deep keep to touch is already a solid tactical advantage. Kinda feels like they're just changing rules to look like...

Do you think they were good calls? I thought the call at the end of the first half was a shocker, and had a big influence, and I thought he let SA tacklers not roll in the second. The Steyn one was harsh. The rest my impression was that NZ got pinged for the slightest offside and SA less so, but th...

Just a random thought that occurred to me...fudge that crosskick Barrett did from our 22 after having zero possession for about the last quarter was braindead. That is all.

RoscoPColtrain

Both sides pissed at the ref means he did a fine job. Leaving the feet with a half minute to go cost the match. I had no trouble with the ref. Missed a few things but all refs do. Had a good game. No. The last 10 minutes was too much about the ref. Yeah it felt a bit like he gave a lot of easy pena...

Yeah defo deserved it. Would have felt like a bit of an escape if we won

RoscoPColtrain

Well done Saffas, bloody entertaining game.

RoscoPColtrain

Lol ref was desperate to give that one

RoscoPColtrain

Holy shit, thought he missed by a mile, but it came back

RoscoPColtrain

LOL great left footer

RoscoPColtrain

Get the fudge out of our half

Yep. Tough to see in real time though

RoscoPColtrain

Absolute hospital ball

RoscoPColtrain

Again even as an AB fan, there's no way that should be a penalty. That was a genuine attempt an an intercept

RoscoPColtrain

Absolute bullshit penalty.

RoscoPColtrain

Going to be a bloody great last 15. Let's go!

RoscoPColtrain

That's the worst thing I have ever seen Beauden

RoscoPColtrain

Feels like about 20 mins since ABs had any decent ball

RoscoPColtrain

I'm suddenly not a fan of the 50-22

RoscoPColtrain

Great kick, game-turner

RoscoPColtrain

As good as Beauden has been this game, it'll be bloody interesting to see Mo'unga coming on with 30 to go and Beauden at the back. Why would you put BB at the back? Might be a bit more potent vs tired legs, that's the question with Beauden I guess. He's hard to leave out but RRmo is a better first 5.

RoscoPColtrain

Unlucky, thought it was forward on first sight

Referee has been excellent Yeah no issues really, he's controlled it well. Been good but that last penalty when Faf didn't release was a shocker, gave 6 points to the boks. As long as refs don't try and be the man of the match and completely ruin a game they get a pass from me, I set a low bar thes...

a what?

A double pump from the lineout thrower, I might be on drugs I thought it was a rule, but I can't find a single reference to the laws on it anywhere.

Because its not a lineout.

Oh ok, so it's only when the lineout is formed?
