In what way? India looked seriously up for it.. unless you mean England deliberately tried to win?
The Ind fielding was comical, something not right

I suppose you guys are the experts in this so we should take it seriously.

Commendable, but I do wonder if Boca were in a "Don't give a fudge" mode given that they were already out.

While I like the theory, my concern would be failing to adjust thise brackets over time similar to tax brackets. I'm sure there is a way it could be baked in to move with inflation How would we know how many people are in each age and income bracket and what adjustments to make. I say that on the n...

A complete disgrace to send down a C team, half of the squad are making their debuts. TV ratings will plummet, ad revenue will be down, and it makes a mockery of the entire thing.

Personally, I dislike the idea of means testing NZS. All that is going to do is create incentives for people to hide their money. It would also be more burdensome to administer and thus require more public money to implement. It's far better to keep it universal and administratively simple. That's ...

I've been wondering the same, leaving it very late. https://www.allblacks.com/teams/maori-all-blacks I guess they were waiting for the ABs side to be named. Only the provisional squad there on ...

Very little info about this tour on media or in the pubs etc
Games all kick off at stupid o'clock
Who wants to be in the pub watching rugby with your first pint at 10.30am?

Better than making people get up at 3 or 4am to watch!!

Labour state that they will repeal the regulatory standards bill in their first 100 days.

That gets my vote, no matter what.

Angus Gardner to ref - sanity prevails.

Last time he was good on keeping the players on their own side of the ruck. Hopefully more of that (Sadists key weapon)

There are 16 stratotankers flying from USA towards Europe right now.

Why? Do they have weapons of masturbation as well.

Shades of Iraq shining through.

The saying here is either the Beyond the Black stump or Up the Booeye.

Sounds like a nicer place to be than Ballymena.

Anyway, the better half has arisen (I like it when she has a good sleep) so I'm into my other role.

Play nice gents.

Bloody well done Saffers.

For once the Gods smiled in your direction after years of punishment. I reckon you totally deserve this one for all the years of hurt.

Its like our 2011 RWC.

Send him up to Ballymena!

Is that the Irish version of the Booeye.

Agreed Edinburgh. I was also a post-war baby but by fudge my father was a hard bastard to live with.

Looking back he probably had PTSD but to a young fella, that meant nothing.

I will rise above my hatred and actually watch them next week.

Can't be fairer than that.
