Canes by 12. They're at their best when written off.

Players should stop flying into rucks recklessly, then they wont get sent off for it. Refs should also be more strict on enforcing the existing laws around rucks as well. This. I always wonder, when they are targetting a player who is head down over the ball, what part of his body they think they a...

Remarkable. Europe, the UK and Ireland can’t close, control or otherwise manage their borders. They can and have done already. Italy had the door pretty firmly shut in its face by its neighbours and it was very restricted access. A number of other EU countries also put strict restrictions on their ...

Have the Indian complained about Smith scratching around? It's not like he did it during an over or anything and I doubt it pissed Pant off who, going on the video, asked the umpire for his guard as any batsman does at the start of a session. Exactly. Smith is in his own world and I've never seen a...

This anon bloke is not having a very good run on this thread is he. He’s tried hitting it out of the park a couple of times and been cleaned bowled twice. And surely nobody really thinks Anderson is the best quick ever, come on man. It's lack of sleep I reckon. Check out his posting history and you...

Thunberg sounds like a person worth listening to. :thumbup: It is cutting edge talk like this young woman that is the reason she won the TIME Person of the Year last year. While Ardern, who lets face it, is old enough to be her grandmother, was nominated but got arse kicked by little Greta, chewed ...

England won, can't deny the ref was bad for both sides, yet favourable to England overall. I now know what All Black's fans feel like.

Nah mate you've no idea as you've only ever won one RWC. That's if you're pretending to be a pom now

GotheCanes

Not sure it's all Fozzies fault. After about 55 minutes you could see the Argies were knackered but the ABs still resorted to plan A and kicked when there was no need. There doesn't seem to be any leaders on the pitch that can change tatics with out a half time break

GotheCanes

I posted this elsewhere, why don't we just make the pitches wider? The pitch size is based on 15 ordinarily sized men of ordinary fitness. And also finally ref sealing off in the opposition 22 and 5m line There would be plenty of stadiums around the world that couldn't take the increased width. Pla...

Shouldn''t PR bordies only be allowed to w@nk on about international teams from their birth country or place they've lived for the last 5 years?

Neither would be true for him and so a banning is in order

GotheCanes

Actually I should add, that if the team plays well, and still loses, then fans might not like it, but they will accept it. Hooking in to the fans after playing like shit will not go down well. Just fix it. That's exactly it. I'll take a lose when they're in the fight but it seems that they haven't ...

GotheCanes

It's great to see the amount of neutrals on this thread concerned for the ABs well being

GotheCanes

If they don't win the next one it'll be the longest a RWC winning team has gone without winning it again

GotheCanes

Not to the same exent - it's a blind spot for Kiwis - look, we get it, you're team has done extremely well for decades. Sometimes you have to lose though. You seem to be on a bit of a trolling expedition this arvo. As I noted earlier, we can handle the odd loss. It was the manner of the loss that w...

GotheCanes

The worst part is that if this was someone like Robertson losing these games you would say well it is part of the rebuilding/learning process but with Foster and Plumtree you feel this is as good as it gets and things are likely to get worse from here. They never showed in their previous coaching r...

GotheCanes

Viva los Pumas. Great win boys well done

GotheCanes

We're now just an average team now so it'll be good to be able to relax and put loses down to rebuilding.

Great game by the Argies though

GotheCanes

Brilliant Argies. Destroyed us

GotheCanes

FFS. Was Rassie talking about the players or the fans?

GotheCanes

How could any Saffa even try to pretend their union did the right thing? You made an agreement then realised you will get smashed and went running

GotheCanes

How much fitter will SA be in 48 hours?

GotheCanes

I expect to see no coloured hair next week and all in black boots or Cane and Fozzie can both leave. Anything more than a head nod after scoring a try should be an automatic 1 game ban

GotheCanes

The ABs with all its talent. Cannot work out their choices. Dave Rennie and his Wallabies if ready if focused can take it It's the first test match of the tear in a new RWC cycle so why would you think they'd have their team sorted? I would have thought they learnt a hard lesson. I guess you boys j...

The ABs with all its talent. Cannot work out their choices. The team they picked now would also not have won the WC. The team they picked then had little chance without Franks and Laumape. Best wing left out. Best centre left out. The 10 15 combo that failed in the semi still there (15 should be 10...

Missing Christmas? How old are they? 12? Be grateful you can actually play... and that you get to stay alive after and not spread anything to your families... I've spent more Christmases alone than with company.. it's fine.. you don't die of lack of Christmas... I was just telling my wife, a nurse,...

If NZR was happy that the Aus players would miss xmas then why'd they'd think Aus would dagree to their request? NZR really have no idea

GotheCanes

blah blah blah Now that NZR & RA have obviously sorted out some type of combined position to take to the venture capital shops and broadcasters, maybe you, the canes poster and random navigator should STFU and see what happens. Hey I hope they sort it all out and we get some type of NZ v Aus teams ...

Have those Aus TV billions started rolling in yet? Some of the teams in Australia are owned by a billionaire. So it wouldn't matter what the economic climate is they are sustainable, unlike any of the NZL teams. I wonder what next year's SuperRugbyAOT is going to do for the sustainability of rugby ...

Domestic comps then top 2 go into a champions league playoff would get my vote. Each country could invite any team they like to participate in their league. Winner of the State of Origin could play winner of North v South as well

GotheCanes

What fear? Fear that the McKinsey advice to go hard has spectacularly backfired, including the bits about NZR controlling TT and the money including Oz broadcast $. Fear that stage 2 of the McKinsey project - demanding more control of, and money for, AB overseas appearances - is also going to go do...

If NZ goes it alone, I reckon we are a team short. I reckon 6 teams is the minimum to run a comp, and even that is quite small. Would lead to a 12 round home-and-away regular season (10 matches plus 2 byes) and then you'd probably want a semi final weekend and a final. Come to think of it that's pr...

Perenara always struck me as a complete an utter knobend, A sunshine boy . A young fella who needed to pull his trousers up and stop listening to snoop doggy dogg. However.............

There are smells I like - coffee in the morning. The soil releasing carbons as the first raindrops hit.The scent of a woman. Reading the last dozen posts or so I see a litany of the usual Kiwi posting warriors flailing around and telling us that rugby in our country is a shit standard, and we have ...

I think it is important, on the 2nd August, to remind ourselves of the dictat issued by that insolent fellow Robinson on 17 July 2020 - that is 3 days post the 14 July declaration, but more than 2 weeks ago. New Zealand Rugby (NZR) is confident it will get buy-in from Australia to join its new-look...

I cant believe Super Rugby Aotearoa is almost over, there isnt a final series which is no biggie, but it just seems awfully short. What happens once its completed? Mitre 10 cup starts? They were probably better off having everyone play each other 3 times. Why so much bitterness about the NZ comp? I...
