Yeah they simply looked under prepared .

Eugenius

Odd for a team that says it 'out of respect to the other team', it doesn't seem to have been mentioned to Tonga or Romania.... Perhaps because they would have more seen it as a sign of mockery as they had absolutely no chance to make the RWC final contrary to SA? Some people have really huge proble...

I’m getting more and more saddened by our Prime Ministers lack of support for the Crusaders a team he’s passionately supported since a wee boy . I do realise that he’s now a very busy man but the buggers gone completely silent ! True fans stick with their teams even through the hard times , I’m seri...

Eugenius

I do , but I don’t quite buy it .

Eugenius

But was it really arrogance to say something as absolute ? Remembering that after being thrashed by a Dan Carter lead AB team in the pool , the French said exactly the same thing ; and it seemed that the AB’s believed them. The difference perhaps being that they backed up the statement with actions...

Went to a fantastic concert last night at the Lincoln centre in New York. Duke Ellington at 125 with the Jazz at Lincoln Centre Orchestra , and it was brilliant. I’d grown up with Jazz through my Grand Dad and Dad , but now realise why Granddad loved Duke so much . Far more sophisticated and difficu...

Even when they hadn’t beaten us , the bravado was over the top .

I watched with about a dozen Irish fans and trust me confidence was their one shared attribute.

Even though they were gutted after they were extremely sporting . We brought them a few pints .

Eugenius

this faux modesty is hilarious It is , especially when every Irish fan is run into before the 1/4 seemed disproportionately confident of dealing to the AB’s . Not having to make an effort hell no , but because if the monkey finally being off their backs after so many decades of loses ; almost overc...

Like everyone, I'm still waiting, and expecting, things to click at some point.

Why ?

The only thing consistent is our inconsistency.

Eugenius

Does anyone think that ACT wouldn’t be pushing exactly the same austerity measures if the economy wasn’t in this ‘ catastrophic ‘ state ? Cause I’m pretty certain that they would be , and by the looks of this dynamic National might happily enable them. It’s due to this commonality of their ideologie...

Eugenius

Just asking , why not a fan if he were so reasonable ?

Eugenius

Incredibly tone deaf .

Another poll , somethings definitely up .

Eugenius

Sure , but you can’t tell me that the government loved this little poll .

Almost unique in contemporary political history given its only 6mths into their term .

I can’t think of any new government that had slipped so quickly , surely this poll must be an aberration ?

It’s simply too soon .

Eugenius

Some polls matter evidently .

Verian was the first to predict a 3-headed monster for the government so I guess they have it right. But... it means absolutely nothing at this point. A government has had time to make plans but not action them. Probably pointless taking a poll in the first year of a government. Why ? Perceptions a...

Eugenius

He’s pretty average truth be told .

Eugenius

I’m pleasantly surprised that a one term government isn’t quite the impossibility I once considered it.

They’re certainly making abit of a hash of things so far .

Yes.

Rieko Ioane at 12 and David Havili at 10.
So you would replace the 12 we have, who is arguably as good as anyone in the world in that position with RI
PP taking the piss. Eugenius meant Aumua I think?

Absolutely

I’d like to see him start at 12.

Eugenius

Seems blinkered with little awareness outside his limited field of vision .

Eugenius

True .

Eugenius

Not to the same extent , and I’ve watched them .

Eugenius

He’s clearly made more winnable .

Eugenius

I think he’s far better now than he’s been .

Matured and his decision making has improved seriously.

Form dictates that he starts .

Eugenius

I have a real problem with one iniatives started under Helen Clarke , extra funding that only includes those artists that , reflect and encourage our national identity ( whatever the hell that means ) . It becomes very top down and leads to disproportional representation of mediocre artists simply b...

Eugenius

I can’t believe he’s so underrated . Best form of his life - leadership alone ! He's begrudged due to his off field indiscretion. There is a major problem with violence against women in NZ and Aus. Women die fairly regularly from male violence in both countries. Which unlike many others he faced up...

Eugenius

Yeah the commercialisation of especially fine art is problematic, I once interrupted Bob Jones mid rant , asking him how many paintings did Van Gogh sell during his lifetime and did he regard him as a great artist ? He laughed and called me a bloody smart arse . I think the writer is the brother of ...

:shock: The sheer luxury of not automatically choosing Tele’a and Reece, who’d both be in the top 5 wingers in the world imo. Both weak defensively missing alot of tackles. Great on attack though. Sevu Reece has always been an excellent defender, and very strong defensively at the breakdown. Reece ...

Of course the fact that compared with fed farmers and groundswell I'm a raving lunatic enviro greenie probably means my opinion is worth jack. But I do think there's a fair percentage of farmers just getting on with trying to do the right thing the right way. They're just pretty quiet about it. Fro...

Eugenius

Even though I’d praised this same action before you even brought it up ?

Weird .

Eugenius

In fact it was the right decision and decisive.

The explanation however was very muddled.

Why you think your post clever is a little confusing, I never argued that it was a weak action .

It bet the shit outta GOT’s for me .
