Agreed .

Conrad Smith our best ever took a while to gain real traction.

How do you guys feel about Holland? I think other than his ball carrying ,which I think could be improved given his size, he played quite well. Looks comfortable for a debutant. Huge potential. Could be our next Retallick which shows how much potential I think he has. He is no Retallick. Doesn't ha...

I doubt he's Ngai Tahu. Can still lead the haka though. There was a story a while back about his discovery of his Ngati Toa roots after an AB visit to the marae. “Taylor is a New Zealander of Māori descent (Muaūpoko, Ngati Raukawa and Ngati Toa descent) and in 2015 he discovered that he is a direct...

Me too !

And no wonder . When their centre is a blinkered moron . Projection at its finest. He’s a good team man who plays how he’s told. Why Razor (and every other coach) kept going back to him again and again. :thumbup: Whilst I’d agree I was abit of a bull hog when I played at wing and then centre , I sl...

We’re claiming him. Know his family - tho she could be bullshitting . A cousin who we caught up with at a Kapa Haka fundraiser . (has connections to the Ngāi Tahu iwi through his great-great-grandfather, Walter Pringle, who played for the All Blacks in 1893.) That’ll do it . That must be the bigges...

Auckland is already losing interest steadily and has been for a while. This will be controversial but in the case of AJ Lam where there is little difference between him, Tupaea and Tavatavanawai, the coaches should actually select AJ Lam first.

Holy shit, this team naming just exorcised about 4 years of Fozzie trauma! - An actual 2m+ behemoth at lock! - A proper, world-class lineout option at 6! - Ardie's back at 7! - We selected a specialist 8! That's the best balanced All Black loose trio in how long? -Proctor at 13 and an established c...

I've asked questions and posted facts. You’re embarrassing yourself again . I'm neutral on it. I think it's worth a shot but I'm not getting overly excited about it because I remember Vaa'i didn't player well the last time he started their for the ABs. In fact he was rated a 4 in the RugbyPass AB r...

It flattened but hardly plummeted.

Obviously he was seen as a future world beater as centre .

I’m very happy with it .

But want Proctor to start in all 3 tests - minimum.

Watching Norris being bent in half during the super final worries me .

So you're 'neutral' about it, but you've spent the last 30 minutes posting negatively about it.

Whys that? You think 100kmh is dangerous on that stretch of road? No idea. I feel comfortable driving it at that speed, but I try not to do anything stupid.
