A shame David is on the same side of the draw as Muslim Gadzhimagomedov, as it lowers his chance of making the gold fight. Muslim beat him 5-0 in the World Champs, though David has improved since then. Though La Cruz stepping up to heavyweight is a wildcard on the other side of the draw. Opens up th...

As an All Blacks fan, I'm of the opinion that offending of that level (not just hitting woman, but other cowardly/bullying assaults) should result in being removed from All Black contention for a considerable period of time, if not for good. They can still have their NZRU contract, still "earn their...

David Nyika comfortably won his first bout - into the quarter finals. His opponent did attempt to bite him though - he must be tasty, because he got bit in the commonwealth games as well. :lol: Disappointing that Jerome Pampellone didn't make the cut when qualification went to a back count of the la...

Saw that. Absolutely disgusting. Thin skinned or what! Don't tell me that you never made imitation guns as a child. Children are well able to distinguish between play and real-life. A Lego gun is not going to influence anybody. The whole fúcking point is that kids play with pretend guns. What do yo...

Not bad. Not sure it beats Auckland needing 12 off the last ball and winning though.

If you fly in for the big hit you need to go lower under the modern laws - if you don't then you are dicing with danger, as there has to be pretty obvious mitigation if you get the head/neck at all.

Was a dumb play to go for a hit at that height and he paid for it.

As a BB fan-boy, I don't think there is any question he shouldn't be the ABs 10 moving forward. The remaining questions are: - is he the ABs long term fullback? Would need to shift back there and prove it, so currently no. - is he the bench utility? If Dmac is starting fullback, then yes. If someone...

Being sacked, Vaughan forfeits the remainder of his salary, plus the fines. He won't get the same $800k/year elsewhere, either They reckon this party will cost him $700k all-up. Ouch!

Halfbacks should not be allowed to be captain - don't give them a platform to cry.

Retallick short of a trot, but still able to do something special. Have sympathy for the late hit - it's the kind of shit I do as a cynical old man.

My "second" team. In that after the Tigers, the next team I support is whoever is playing St George. :lol: Vaughn has already been sacked.

By end of Viv Richards wonderful career he was batting at no 6 for the Windies. He started his test career as an opener. Spent the majority at no3 and 4 during his peak and then moved to 5 and 6. He was still good for a quick fire 70 odd when his team needed it. Father Time waits for no one. Reflex...

:?: I don't think that word means what you think it means.

And it has been clearly pointed out to you that your argument for "gender being taken into account" is stupidly flawed, as it relies on you comparing apples and oranges. It hasn't be clearly pointed out at all. What are you talking about "comparing apples and oranges"? in the hopes of making an ide...

Word is that DMac has signed for Milton Haig's Suntory after being told he's number 3. Which he is. Great news. McKenzie is not a starting test fullback at just 75kg. The sooner we move on from him as an All Black 15 option the better. As an aside, he's got all the attributes to be a world-class 9,...

That just not an honest account of anything. When it comes to the crunch my argument has been that gender and age are two of the (many) variables that should be considered when deciding on an appropriate sentence for the crime. You'd think it would be common sense. In fact, it is common sense, beca...

Imagine there's a scale of "seriousness" when it comes to sex crimes: On one end of the scale, there's guy who is 15 years and 355 days old, he has hair on his chest, he's full of hormones and is walking around with a permanent boner. He relentlessly peruses a girl who is 16 years and 1 day old, an...

Unless it's an automatic sentence(like the 3 strikes rules in some American states), circumstances are always taken into account when sentencing. Of course they are. MOG just felt that he needed to reinforce this fact over and over again. It's actually quite possible that MOG had no idea of that - ...

If Ravindra develops to be a test quality spinning all-rounder (batting in the top 6) then that is a helluva team. You have your spinner/holding bowler in the top 6 (can drop to 7 behind Blundell if his bowling workload has been too high in a match) and keep the 4 strike bowlers.

Demilich

The question is really did de Grandhomme's mediocre match figures of 0-32 off 12 overs (out of 165 that NZ bowled) and 13 runs batting justify his selection over either another specialist batsman or a spinner. Given how Santner was playing, he was unselectable. Then NZ had to take the risk of Ajaz ...

Black craps no more. Well done! Is there a statistic that shows what % of times from a single ball in test cricket, how many runs are made? I cant find it primarily because I cant determine the best wording for the question. E.g. (rounded to nearest %) 0 runs 48% 1 run 32% 2 runs 14% 4 runs 4% 3 ru...

We are the number on team in the world yet none of the 'Big Three' (India, Aust or Eng) will still play more than a 2 or 3 test series against us.

It would be different because the man has such an advantage to say "no" physically. And again, it comes down to your inability to grasp very simple concepts. Statutory sex laws are not about the ability to say "no" physically. They are to prevent a developed adult mind (particularly in a position o...

Not to defend the Canadian's treatment of the indigenous people at all, but the school graves don't immediately jump out as approaching "genocide" at this point.
