Re: NZ Politics Thread

Election date's 14th October. If we were thinking of having it on election day to chew over the results as they come in, that'd have to be the date. You really want an actual Election Night Cabal? What time is the result normally confirmed? 9pm ish? Would bordies really be available on such a big n...

Just saw a tiktok of Luxon bowling to Goldsmith in the halls of Parliament. Looked fairly average but had one semi decent nut, probably lacking match fitness tbf. Anyone know if he's played in the Parliamentary rugby match? No. And he would be unbearably awkward in the changing room. And team bus. ...

Nope. They needed to win both to take the bledisloe. Not a draw and a win That’s not quite correct. Actually….that’s not correct at all.

Im saying the same thing. Ive had one try and defend it already Ardie could have taken the points and then had extra time for the win - against the Crusaders with the best maul defence going.

That's absolutely disgraceful. How can it be time wasting when he's called time off? At the very least a “use it” suggestion. Absolute bullshit call.

Prevented the fry scoring chance. That’s why Peiper was focused on the cover, and not whether or not the pass was made.
