Wheeler is such a cockhead

Agree. Can't stand that wit kant. Just a total annoyance all super rugby long. Just fudge off with your matey mate shit.

The Maori 9 is probably the worst player on the park.

Sensible Stephen

Probably are. Or also tribes up in the highlands in PNG. The amazing thing is how quickly people got to Australia which is well before when they got to Europe and potentially before east Asia. They got out of Africa then just hopped along the coast down into Australia. What gets me is why didn't an...

Sensible Stephen

Yes. They are the longest unchanged culture which was uninterrupted from the moment they got here until when the POMs started to settle. Though you could argue this technically isn't true. Various peoples rose up and fell over time. Eg the Kaurna people of Adelaide have only been here for 10,000 ye...

Sensible Stephen

Are the Aboriginals the oldest known culture in the world? I honestly cannot think of a culture that seems to have existed for so long that can track itself back so far. Not even close from what I can tell. THen again I'm not familiar with the African cultures and there must be some old ones there....

Scott Robertson's post-selection press conference; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlkQcDjaKds Man is he excited or what !?! Love it . As someone who has rediscovered health and fitness in my 40's I also like that we have a head coach who models health, fitness and self-discipline to his players. I...

Our big monthly regional meetings at work start with an AoC. I don’t think anyone cares. It’s just a short formality. I did one a few years ago though when mc’ing a conference. Had to go research the tribal nations of Western Sydney and Brisbane. I found it very interesting. I found out why certain...

Sensible Stephen

To me, it sounds like you guys are having too many meetings and not doing enough work… But the AoC should really only be brought out at the wider significant departmental/all team meetings and not just for every minor catch up. 100% agree. But alas, its every single meeting. 3 people through to 300...

I'd like to be proven wrong, but I cannot see Australia getting within 15 points of this outfit. Argentina are stronger than Australia these days. I am not so sure about that. We lack depth, and our Super teams stripped of their best players shows that. But our top 23... I think we can win the seri...

Sensible Stephen

What? lol. That sounds a little much. You're doing it in the workplace before team meetings? wtf. Who is doing it? It's common place. Happened twice in one huddle, as we had two guests back to back who both did it. When people say they are over AOC that's what they mean. My son does it every mornin...

theres nothing wrong with welcome to country-it just doesnt need to be done- as it is bit of a bore to watch.A rugby match is entertainment and this adds nothing. And its not even a long term tradition-they added it in more recently. So much of a pre-rugby match bores the fudge out of me - anthems ...

Sensible Stephen

Reds are cooked.

Sensible Stephen

Outside of the usual racists, I don't think anyone really has an issue with welcome to country.

Its acknowledgement of country that gets used so much that it becomes nothing more than a meaningless token gesture by people who would cross the road to avoid someone with darker skin.

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...

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.

Sensible Stephen

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
