Better we do absolutely nothing but go backwards then. Imagine if our forebears lacked all initiative similarly , it’s pitiful in its cynicism. If Australia can do so much better with solar on private housing , for example ; imagine if we did the same with our huge head start ? Instead we have Shane...

God today’s meeting between Trump Bibi and their cronies was depressing . Only the unintelligent or extremely cynical could be happy watching that shitshow .

That the way to keep this country in the “dark” ages, literally and while we’re waiting for renewables to get up to spec we’ll just keep importing coal, as long as someone else is doing the mining, that makes it all ok :roll: Most of our power is in fact effectively from ‘renewables’. Ever heard of...

Strong as a horse and has developed good skills to go with that .

Was it he that dealt to Norris in the final ?

I thought so too. Came here to see what the bored verdict was, but not a lot of comments thus far. He did well. Needs to be more physical on his carries and a little busier but that's a mindset change from lock. Definitely didn't do worse than most other 6s we've tried lately. Well worth trying aga...

Not sure how he was appointed? He won three SR titles as the Crusaders defense coach in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Yeah , amazing huh ?

I remember a lot of Ethan Blackadder style runs.
I kept think he was Sititi and was waiting for a side step...
I would expect more impact from Jacobson than what we saw from Lio Willie.

Why ?

Eugenius

Agreed .

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

Eugenius

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 .

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. Papalii over Jacobson Look, I see where you're coming ...

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.

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 .
