Naitoa Ah Kuoi could make a start this week . Vaa'i has failed his HIA, Barrett is still out and Patty has hurt his knee and is apparently only 50/50 whether he'll make it. Short on locks. Jordan still has his niggly knee injury so with the series in the bag may be rested giving Love a shot. He des...

Much better 20 min from proctor

farmerdave

Billy proctor does something positive wahoo

farmerdave

Enjoyed that.
Jorga Miller is so good.
Bremner, the lock one, was excellent for mine. Huge amount work around the field plus lineouts etc.
Would be nice to see the wallaroos get on top of some NH teams.

Smith for sure. Very different styles. Marshall (and Kelleher) were really big guys for 9s at the time and could bust tackles and tackle like additional loose forwards but neither of them could pass a ball like Smith (to be fair nobody can). I think Marshall get a bit of a rough time by NZ rugby pu...

So, 35% tariffs on Canada unless they stop the non-existent flow of Fentanyl from Canada to the US, and allow heavily subsidised US dairy farmers to dump product in Canada. And a warning that Canada better not retaliate - or else! Trump and Americans only know how to lie. The most dishonest country...

Gee, those disallowed tries (all correctly called) kept it way closer than it could have been. Just not accurate enough. I hope the rust has been thoroughly rubbed out All I would say is if you are going to ref 'obstruction' like that, it had better be reffed that way in every play. Bullshit. Total...

This. I predict Holland will be in the discussion for best lock in the world within 5 years. That will simply never be the case for Vai'i. I like the swing on the higher upside, especially as we really need those big bodies against the Boks. :thumbup: Wow, that's something Brown Nose saying that ab...

farmerdave

Really like the loose trio. But I hope they get more one chance to make it click. Presumably Ardie will lead but his style isn't necessarily classic, he can turn up anywhere. And with CLW new to the jersey and Vaii new to 6 in black surely it won't be instant. But I'm all for the potential, that par...

Worst is the idea that local council/residents be allowed to decide road speed limits. How dare they. Ironically slower speeds can decrease the time taken when applied to heavy traffic with flow being steady rather than intermittent braking slowing everyone. Biggest reason to lower limits has got to...

Am I right in thinking from the short amount I've seen that it's damn hot over there . Lots of slow movement heaps of water and running for shade?

Reading tubby and PPs comments and was all rage for the blaming super rugby and the ABs. But have to admit that's exactly how I feel and have always felt watching stupid high tackles. The best/worst example of why it's shit was the Baabaas 2 this morning getting the big F off from Kolbie, totally in...

Norris proves he's not a world champion in the making in one single move. That was f**king dumb - there wasn't even a hint of a gap There has to be a point where he is told he is number 2 to a Piastri WC challenge. I think there is also a case to say.. can we all hold on a bit with all the calls ab...

If being rich helps, then you need more individual freedom. We have 200 years of data showing that greater individual liberty leads to greater wealth. The data indicating a link between personal freedom and wealth doesn't prove one causes the other. Other factors, like stable politics or good gover...

Shocked, absolutely shocked. Who could conceive they would see through the Israeli/USA so easily.

Check the drone attack records for his presidency. Everyone an act of “war” by your stupid childish opinion. Then pop back Again - what the fudge are you talking about?

Trump just put a target on every American around the world. I suspect Israel had dirt on Trump from Epstein, and threatened him with it, in order to drag the US in.. :lol: Fkn loon. Iran have been committing terrorist activities against the west for years, Israel have been doing the hard lifting bu...

So Iran just sat there making big bad noises as they have for 40 plus years. Then they get the shit bombed out of them by first Israel and then USA. Russia make big bad noises bomb terrorise Ukraine then bomb the shit outta them and invade. Then they get the shit bombed outta them by Europe and USA....

Bet the south island is cover in frost freezing cold miserable as f@$$. Much like the Saders really. I'd much rather have my beautiful day in the than be associated with the latest super title. I'm not crying at all. Not even a little hurt. That really was a good win . Shut us out completely in the ...

farmerdave

Can't argue with that. Great win Saders.
One or two red n black played their way into ABs.

farmerdave

Are these the three worst commentators possible

farmerdave

Surely that was advantage from knock on

farmerdave

That's bollocks ball went back from lineout, bounced forward

farmerdave

Interesting if McKenzie had kick that ball though, unlucky.

Naitoa Ah Kuoi? Good replay shows he clearly had that.

So if you take two people who work all their life and earn identical income. One scrimps and saves, invests wisely, pays off the mortgage and has stashed away a nice little nest egg by the age of 65. The other blows his cash on partying, travel, boats, flashy cars and overseas travel and at the age...

Just watched it hoping to get enthused. Well done Puma, that was bloody enjoyable and well deserved scalp . Expect a lot of improvement from lions , it'll be eccential because in the end that was a bit sub pa. Thought the Puma back row with the ball was outstanding at times, popping up in support ou...

Perhaps. The reality is that even wealthy older people (except for the extremely wealthy) are still tied to society to a large degree through their family, assets and age. And tbh, if the only thing that stops them from not considering themselves part of NZ society is $500 a week, they're not beati...

farmerdave

That’s not an incentive, that is a sense of obligation with rather dark undertones. If anything, that mentality creates other contrary incentives. Perhaps. The reality is that even wealthy older people (except for the extremely wealthy) are still tied to society to a large degree through their fami...

So if you work hard and do well you should be punished? Punished? Totally rediculous to consider anything mentioned a punishment. If you've done well enough out of being part of a cohesive society and been able to make use of it's resources such that you don't need to rely on the state for cash in ...

Foster popped up on my youtube, between two beers podcast. I watched all 2 hours of it over a couple of days. Have to say, seems like a nice bloke, but limited. The shocker is how he became your coach. Achieved nothing in Super rugby - thats due to the Chiefs having a weak player pool apparently......

Trump called for Iran to surrender.

Crusaders have peaked at exactly the right time. Chiefs are a one trick pony. This won't even be close. :(( :(( :(( Yea but we win the battle of the jersey. That Saders kit is pathetic, not even a proper red, some pale imitation closer to pink. That Chiefs kit is a thing of dark beauty. Stunning

farmerdave

Well pleased with that. Pretty dewy slippery night.
Much better than last week. Back to the bench making a difference.
