Is there any footage of what happened to make Aiden Morgan look like Hannibal Lecter? You certainly can't doubt his courage! The game certainly didn't have much shape in the 2nd half. (TBF, it wasn't that great in the first either, but the Canes were able to get enough structure to score a couple of...

For 7 games, Canes have only had 1 card.

Got 3 tonight....

Not a lot of structure in this game. It's a lot like 7s

We've got ourselves a good, old-fashioned cripple fight. 11th vs 12th on the ladder. 1 win apiece. Will we contrive a remarkable new way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Suffer another 21 injuries? Force by 4. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZmxwMGs5eXVjbjdweTk2cXFtcWR4e...

Especially the Canes. If they think all they have to do is rick up and take the win, they deserve to lose.

Given who the head coach is, I'd wager that the Canes are more wary of Fijian Rugby than most...

I get it and not trying to have a go at you. The problem is that you and others are pre-programmed to think this way and its a huge issue, as it shouldnt be the automatic response in this part of the world. And people like Rachel Riley posting what she did, reinforces that. And there are real world...

Game Day Bump.

Weather improving, with the Rain forecast reduced to showers, but 97% humidity!

We will see how the conditioning of the Canes Players is, but I would suspect the Pack Starting weight will be reduced considerably after the game!

I tend to agree with most of that, except for the highlighted bit. There was no suggestion it was Islamic terror except for people leaping to conclusions, and that was then a self perpetuating prophecy from there. In Australia, it was less likely to be that than some other form of violence. Why is ...

KD, you are going down the path of "all mass random attacks are linked to Islamic terrorism" which just isnt the case, particularly in Aus / NZ. The headline cases of recent years are not that - they are linked to mental health (this one, the Melbourne car attack in 2017), right wing extremism (Chr...

Time to utilise some other players in the squad? The problem there is, the Drua at home are not a team to trifle with. They currently have the best Scrum in the comp, and a backline that will test any defence. I'd look at playing the same starting forward pack, but possibly swap Lakai and Kirifi. L...

Stupid decision. I am an avowed non-smoker, but such a ban would have the opposite effect with an unregulated Black Market.

You could be right there, but if that is the case, why did she not stand as Green Candidate? Why the 'nudge nudge, wink wink' theatrics of "I'm not a Green Party Member. Really!"

What she posted had nothing to do with fighting anti-semitism, and she is responsible for that.
