Where’s BB to pour scorn on the effort ?

Eugenius

He was pretty good .

Much as it galls me to admit that .

Eugenius

Terrible idea , involving Foster turned it into even more of a social event .

Eugenius

I don't think it's made much local impact but it's a good event for the NRL. Lots of Aussies come over for it. Was on a flight from Sydney to SF in February and it seemed like half the plane was on their way to the match. Not just fans of the 4 teams playing either. That maybe true, but the way tho...

Having lived in Wales , I found the Welsh surprisingly lovely buggers and utterly passionate about their rugby .

I hope they have more to cheer about going forward , they need it .

Eugenius

And they called McCaw a cheat ?

Fozzie likes to hang with rugby players and looked to be having a swell time .

Ghastly . Having been over to that location , I met some of the Palestinians directly confronting these religious fanatics . They felt helpless and have no where to run to , the Palestinian authority is deliberately toothless and the IDF use their fire power to support the settlers unquestioningly. ...

How a commentator can confuse Ardie Savea with Timoci Tavatavanawai is baffling. Nisbot has a history of confusing dark coloured players sadly . I actually don't mind Nisbett, truth be told, but he needs to get his eyes checked again after that commentator blooper. I’m used to him , but he’s nothin...

Well I think we've found our next longterm no.6. Well done Scott Robertson, the AB's have been desperate for a blindside flanker since Jerome Kaino's loss of form prior to his departure, and Razor has found it in Tupou Vaa'i. Now he just needs to build cohesion in the midfield, and build depth off ...

Eugenius

And if we're going to be talking about potential RWC squads in two years time, we've got to talk about who the ABs' second half-back is. At the moment, there's daylight between Roigard and the next best halfback. I think we'll take three halfbacks to the 2027 RWC, Roigard, Ratima and Hotham. Cam Ro...

Eugenius

I don’t like mo at ten, and that’s mainly due to the casual disregard he is showing nz rugby and the all blacks. If he makes himself available after the Japanese contract ends, I reckon any previous all blacks coach would tell him to fudge himself. Robertson though? I don’t know. He clearly wanted ...

Our lineout looks better than it has since the peak Kieran Read era.

Looks very good indeed .

Holland is terrific .

Eugenius

It is. But Scott Barrett will need to lift his performance when he returns, otherwise this narrative will only get stronger with time. I mean he had a great SR season for the Crusaders. Are North Island posters now demanding our most experienced lock be dropped based on the 1st test against France,...

Eugenius

Oh... I missed that one... I was playing soccer that afternoon against the Navy... pissed me off to miss it. Played rugby in the morning for the school. I was there for that game, behind the posts rather than the usual Millard stand. Actually gave a good view of how Trapper led the game around the ...

Proctor was good .

The chiefs players came on and stopped all momentum.
Think the biggest issue was the best chief went off. Vaa'i is quickly making himself one of the most important players we have on the field.
Day and Night difference between Vaa'i and Finau.

Agreed .

Eugenius

Losing all structure. I'd like to see them settle and go narrow again. Yeah , a work in progress . No it not Vern ball ffs , it’s been around for yonks . A couple of mistakes by the otherwise very very good Holland put us in all kinds of trouble . At least you can see the thinking behind the effort...

Naysayers wtf are you talking about? Get over your provincial bullshit, its the All Blacks. Eh ? What on earth are you on about .

The 96 one? First RC game ever... perfect rain performance... Loveridge was in the late 70s early 80s. (78 - 85) I think it was against the Aussies if I remember rightly. It was pissing down all game. Mud up to the neck. 1982 I think. He only played 4 games in Welly, Boks, Pumas and Lions were the ...

Haha. Seen lots of these online. I haven't played golf in over 10 years after being very active at my local club for 15 years before.

He was certainly the danger man targeted by the Wallabies in 2003 - and taken out by George Smith . That team had played some of the best running rugby earlier in the season ever by the AB’s, it’s hard to do that with a half-back with a lousy pass . He became slow at the ruck to decide well after th...

Eugenius

I thought a valid one .

For some screaming blue murder here at Putins ghastly crimes , worse war crimes get a complete pass from certain posters because they support the Israeli invasion .

In my opinion it completely invalidates their moral outrage .

Hypocrites of the worse kind .

Eugenius

Your extremely selective morality, hypocrite.

Eugenius

Drone attacks are no different than V1 attacks on Britain in WWII, and ballistic missile attacks no different than V2 attacks. It's stressful but you learn to live with it. And the civilian death tolls have not approached anywhere near WWII levels, though that is more down to Russian lack of abilit...
