The players are...uummm..a lot...whiter.

See marshall still doesn't understand relative velocity and the foward pass rule.. disappointing from a commentator It's disgraceful. I think there is about 60 percent of the population who don't have the cognitive ability to wrap their head around the concept, regardless of how often it is explain...

Justin Marshall thinks that it is judged relative to the ground

Holy shit we are lost as a species.

Think you’d find Reds, Tahs and Brumbies would look alright too

well yeah, that just makes it sadder. Imagine how strong the comp would look without NH money.

So anyone know how big these ‘tsunamis’ were in the end?

Some Indian businessmen are feeling very very angry right now.

Also: Monty Panesar has made bombshell claims about the England cricket team that question whether its treatment of the ball in the field was legal throughout his international career. The former England spinner, who played 50 Tests between 2006 and 2013, played a crucial role in ball-maintenance f...

Why on earth are big corporations loving lockdown, I find that very hard to believe, I work for one and as far as I'm aware, we are not "loving lockdown"

Competitive advantage - it's hurting small business much, much more.

Back to the subject at hand - if no new community-based cases are found between now and decision making time today, what decision should the government make pertaining to level restrictions? I support the decision to keep the status quo for another week before reviewing it again (i.e. L3 Auckland, ...

The Aussies were cheating. They used sandpaper.

Throw in some cricket and I'm about as correct a sports fan as one can get.

Anything else is odd behaviour.

That's a massive call and precisely what this thread is about.

Next topic: Bradman v Scott Styris - who was the better batsman?

Jerome Manning

I honestly think it is variation between the balls themselves that is causing them to swing or not - essentially a fault in the manufacturing process where each ball is different. Tim Southee took 7 for f%ck all against in England in CWC2015, swinging the ball late by a foot. When it was England's t...

I don't reckon there was any crying in her car.

and if there was, I'm not responsible for peoples sensitivity thresholds. Some people would cry in their car from thinking about an injured puppy.

Great topic for a thread. The political chat makes it tedious. F%ck off you lot - that's not what this is about.

Trolling and abusing female reporters anonymously online, regardless of how badly they are doing their job in your subjective opionion, is imasculine, pathetic and not the actions of a real rugby man.

I don't know the personalities involved up north but was she the one doing the immediate post match interview with Owen Farrell? Whoever it was she was pathetic.

I really don't get the outrage over this. It was such a throwaway line - we say the same thing about about guys who go out and buy an expensive sports car or leave their wife for a hot young girlfriend. We are getting way too sensitive Susan over mental health. There has been language inflation here...

Jerome Manning

Even Matt Dawson was a bit critical of her on Radio5 after her post match interview with Farrell. Words to the effect of "She should have realised to stop that line of questioning" She does realise it but she is after the outrage - and then disingenuously cries about the outrage. She is knowingly p...

of course he can - you can't force someone to talk to people.

He's been in poor form, but was a lot better this game I thought. In theory, he brings elite level physicality in tight channels. There's not many forwards out there who can commit 3 defenders to take him down and still make it over that gainline. He managed to do that a few times today. A prop wou...

Never kick the ball across your own goalmouth in soccer.

Always play to the whistle.

Never trust the referee when he says "go back and talk to your team". It needs to be taught to kids that this phrase means nothing. No one should be caught out again.

Jerome Manning

There have always been degrees of wrongness - and there absolutely should be. The alternative would...frightening.

Jerome Manning

but I do tend to think a lot of people should leave their high horses in the stable, unless they doing everything correctly like scanning etc, it a bit hard to take much notice of them. That seems a non sequitur to me. You can be responsible and follow common sense without necessarily doing everyth...
