I knew what you meant - but this is the politics thread so points scoring is more important than fact.

Considering the Blues have given up 3 or so tries in the last 5 matche s I think his defense is doing fine. He had a tendency to let someone have the outside and then use his speed to get them rather than shut down their space but that seems to have improved. Either way, just like some other player...

Haven't read the thread so probably miles away from where it's at right now but I noted that 1) The Wife was always conservative (property and low risk pension scheme) 2) I started off medium to high risk (I suppose knowing that the wife was low risk allowed that), mainly bullion and shares. 3) As w...

Great set pieces from the crusaders but their handling was pretty dire at times. Just reading a bit more about the rebels off field issues and what's been going on this week. I think it would be very easy for their on field performance to implode the rest of the year which is a shame given how they...

yes , my statement short of a few adjectives .

edit:since the advent of the High Court as the last point of legal redress

si?

Isn't the Supreme Court the last point... https://www.justice.govt.nz/courts/supreme-court/

a Hurricanes win by less than 34 will be a poor effort.

I mean that's a good win and all, but how the hell can a team with a 2-7 record be one point away from the playoffs? :lol: Makes a mockery of the round robin. Top 8 is a sop to the Aussies. a couple of the quarter finals will be no more than an opposed practice. However, some poor buggers are going...

Game day - who's the ref? According to GAGR, the oafishials line-up is: Referee: Jordan Way (somebody take the pea outta his whistle, please) Assistant Referees: Reuben Keane, Matt Kellahan He took some getting used to but once the Chiefs realised that they had to change (as Way wasn't going to) th...

Never going to get a separate stadium up there in my lifetime. We have 2 generations of infrastructure maintenance to catch up on first. I am fine with that - we do NOT need a national stadium. Happy for Eden Park to be stuck in the Burbs and out of sight as I will probably never go back there anyway.

Welly cabal is not how I remember it. It used to be a great cabal. Now we are talking candle lit dinners. Poetry recitals and holding hands. Ever since South Africa was kicked out of Super Rugby things have gone down hill. Sad. Sad. Days. Jacinda refined us. Unfortunately, she took away all the goo...

Game day - who's the ref?

Being from Taranaki, and then finding out about being on ACC.

The rest was history

Bye bye Liverpool.

Then there were 2

Sadists, do you reckon?

Got quite a good side available as well - some good players on the injuries bench mind 1. Aidan Ross 2. Samisoni Taukei’aho 3. George Dyer 4. Jimmy Tupou 5. Tupou Vaa’i 6. Samipeni Finau 7.

The sooner Trump (It/That) is re-elected and builds that wall to keep these mad buggers inside, the better.

That's fine - there won't be any police to catch them or court staff to prosecute them this decade anyway.

All but 2 of the Crusaders remaining games are at home. In those games they will be facing the Blues, Who they will struggle against, but the opportunity exists to bank at least a few wins this season. I doubt they have enough to make the knockout stage. 5 Wins was enough to get to the knockouts la...

but if time-limited staff in non-frontline roles are continuing after funding has ended while hiring of doctors and nurses is paused, then I would have questions for senior leadership.

Who else is going to do the firing? The Drs are too busy doctoring.

No time to put a tail onto the rucks. Love the way this is being reffed

I thought that the yellow card offence was a penalty try - the tackler was still bound and would not have been able to stop the try

Rain has moved on - perfect for rugby

Christ in a bottle - you guys can moan. You win easily and still moan about the ref.

Shades of Andre Watson and 2003

I have Mr Edward's contact details. I will email you now.

Why would anyone be as angry and personally abusive in a rugby forum ?

Probably father related .

FFS - that is uncalled for. I know what your reaction would be if someone said that of you.

Nuclear facilities in Iran not targeted.

Go and fill your petrol tanks NOW

Unconfirmed reports that Israel has attacked Iran (one target evidently). Flightradar showing multiple flights being diverted as well. CNN now saying Isfahan (nuclear facility??)

The Sadists bench is bloody good. I think the Force will need to be 15 ahead after 60 to hold these guys out. (Which they won't be)

God I'm so a Canes supporter.

I would bet millions that you are wrong. However, none of them will lose.

Odds have shortened for the Drua post team announcement. Now paying $3.80 for the win while the Canes have gone out to $1.27

27% return for a one day investment? I'm on to that, especially with the Drua having a novice at 10.

It's even a good watch for old farts.
