I guess the younger types will be turning up same week as the first test.

Looked like grandpa and co at the Force game.

I take a lot of glee in Japan losing. I hope they turf him out on his ass too soon.

It's a weird one. The beat them not 6 weeks ago.

Yeah, shocking. Did they just shit the bed? SA suddenly amazing? Guess we will see after the next few games.

I remember they had the NZ v Japan games last year, not sure why they are not there this time.

Nevermind, the Baabaas game is showing up on Stan now.

Dropping another team would be horrific for the comp. Hopefully money comes in from somewhere. Also, I've never understood how the 7s circuit couldn't be losing money hand over fist, so it's nice to have some confirmation that is indeed the case. That money is also better spent elsewhere. I don't un...

Wasn't it 2009 last time the kiwis got this upset about a so called French "c" team? Carisbrook? Bottles thrown at the French after the loss? One of my all-time favourite tries from one of my all-time favourite players https://youtu.be/zGcdjenXlLk?si=1jinKX8k3BwD9Fyj Just going through the thread, ...

And there in a nutshell is why England supporters are the biggest cvnts on this planet. They are without doubt the most arrogant in the NH & they cant even back it up with a decent rugby team. Blow Twickenham up, preferably with 70,000 English rugby fans in it. I’m talking about the French , and no...

Chiefs need to lift. Crusaders seem more pumped up at the moment.

I am no expert by any means so please seek out more accomplished influencers. My 2 cents - Activities that drive health outcomes are often not binary and the science is always changing/progressing. It is all so bloody complicated - there are infinite inputs that go into one's health and then we hav...

The recent interview between Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson is an interesting one. In a rare shining of the light on the influence of Israel over the US, here we have Ted Cruz squirming in his jocks while flat out claiming the AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) doesn't lobby for the Isra...

I assume he hasn't been considered at all...

I wouldn't want Toole fullstop. Super rugby is his level.

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.......

Sensible Stephen

Yeah, good to have something, but its a bit blink and you'll miss it.

Why so short. Why not home and away plus a final = 7 weeks.

If you escaped a repressive regime, leaving extended family and friends behind, would you be happy that they are getting bombed and dying?

Yay, my family and friends are dying, but theres a 5% chance we could get a regime change. Yay, go go go.

FFS.

Just getting strangled. Chiefs smart play.

Wtf is up with the crowd. Looks half empty.

According to CNN, the Americans were pushing the diplomatic route. Israel said nah.

They know no matter what they do, the Americans have their backs.

Hurricanes are playing well, but both those tries should have been stopped by the Reds. Wtf are they doing, just in dreamland.

Sensible Stephen

Reds are asleep at the wheel

Not a bad thing for the Liberals to be honest. They can cut ties with the extremist right from the Nats and actually look to try and become a progressive party they should be. They will still see preferences flow from the Nats, and they can negotiate with the Nats going forward to reach government....

Haha. Oh yes, come and play most of your rugby on against us in our own back yard and then we can mock you cos you cant win this skewed comp as often as we can. Remarkably when things are more level for the players, like, lets say at a Rugby World Cup, what happens? Anyone? Bueller? I know you are ...

I am pretty sure they would have had a few. I mean they are World Champions (4 times btw). You don't win that many by accident or lack of talent. Surely? Not many super rugby titles though and that's what we are talking about, so 3 titles for SA and 20 for NZ. Yay we win! Haha. Oh yes, come and pla...

Bandt is gone, he is doing what I am used to doing as a Force supporter - if the Chiefs lose by 32 oer more, and the Tahs somehow win in Eden Park by 5 tries, and the Crusaders dont win again this season, we might just sneak into the finals... Mathematically possible doesnt mean it will happen. Hop...
