Henry Tromp Whats the story here for those of us not up on Bok lore? Racist player who beat a 16-year old black farmworker in 1992 for theft. The kid later died and Tromp got a 2 year sentence for aggravated assault. He only served 4 months. He later got selected for 4 Bok caps in 1996 by Andre Mar...

it's like you were raised in a cult.

Is a Saffer really going to preach to me about indoctrination?

That last episode really highlights what a thug Shannon Frizzel is. Cannot believe the moral guardians of the game keep picking women abusers in the modern age Frizell shouldn’t be there. Unlike others who’ve done wrong and repented, we didn’t see much from Frizell. Even followed up with further th...

Thanks Maddog, I saw that this morning. Death notice said "unexpectadly, but peacefully at home". So likely heart attack, stroke or aneurysm or similar. Very sad. His Kiwi wife played netball for Ireland.

Edit: Epilepsy. What a bastard.

Nz is so far from packed crowds at games even the Harlem globetrotters wouldn't help. I see the Warriors getting the biggest crowds in NZ these days though. Concerning. 15K to last hurricanes game is good. Unfortunately played in a crap stadium with capacity over 30K, so still looks crap. We need s...

Any lads know Glenmalure Lodge in Wicklow? Danny Dowling has died suddenly. Not sure of cause. He played rugby in Invercargill, Southland. Married a girl from here and they have a couple of young kids. Bloody sad. I know it well. Shocking news. His cousin was Cormac Dowling I think, played on the I...

Welcome to a recession year, Crusaders fans. You might as well write the season off now. Tbf to the Crusaders fans they all said this would be a 'rebuilding' year given the loss of talent, new coach etc. But I guess a team with the record of excellence they have built up over the past 25 years even...

I’m really concerned about the standard of rugby being played in New Zealand right now. I propose we get rid of the South Island teams, merge them into MP. Nah merge them with the Drua and have home games with packed crowds Nz is so far from packed crowds at games even the Harlem globetrotters woul...

Genuine family connection. Plus a salary less than that available in Japan. Yet some scoff at Jordie’s intentions.

Sounds somewhat like the Welsh problems with their regions. Although you've made it work. It mostly has. The rugby at Supe and ABs has been exceptional, really. But the NPC smaller unions have suffered and club rugby below that is really failing. Not due to Supe either. Numbers and interest is well...

The draft system is a daft idea. Young lads will be shipped off to the four corners of Ireland when they just want to stay in Dublin with their mates, say fudge this and go to France. Also it will dilute provincial identity which is diluted enough as it is. I find the Kiwi system crazy. The three B...

That is weird. Lots of Pasifika lads there? Or more of your Christian Brothers oldskool? Nah, almost all Pasifika or Kiwis. The coach who I first saw doing prayer circles was a Brazilian dude though I am always amused when a player points to the sky after scoring a try. Up there!!! G*d is up there ...

After watching Chasing the sun I'll give credit to Rassie and his coaching team for beating France. It was planned in detail like they always do. There was no lucky ran away tries. Even the charge down kick was planned by Kolbey. Vermeulen asked Rassie to stop playing the French anthem at practice ...

In the TV coverage the commentator mentioned before the match that an illness had swept through the NZ team earlier in the week I assune you refer to '95? or is this the Stade de France final?

Also, should we really use Mary Sue for male characters? Maybe a Luke Skywalker or an Anakin Skywalker would work better? ;) (We need a fishing smilie). Man, The Americans drags on.

Joey Manu (a better player IMO than Suaalii) is off to play in Japan next year.

Barrett has made over 100 appearances for the Hurricanes in S...

Kearns was the myopic one. Of the two you mentioned, anyway. Mexted loved free flowing rugby and psychic energy. He could get deep about the game. Kearns just got bitter. Kearns played a character when he was commentating. He was unashamedly biased - but that's not necessarily a bad thing in the co...

Ignore this. Checked the laws and the kicker has 90 seconds. Saders’ fans have a legit gripe here. He kicked it before the 90 seconds expired, which means Tahs can kick it off. How does that work as he kicked it when the clock was red? Obvious to me the match clock didn't align with clock we were w...

So how did this guy have a gun licence if he had mental health issues? ffs!! Do you know anything about what happened? Did you read a single article? And you posted this shit??? There has been some talk the perpetrator liked to shoot guns. Perhaps that is what Trance is referring to? Otherwise :?

Who is your favourite rugby commentator. For me it would be Benjamin Kayser followed closely by Justin Marshall. Ridiculously good knowledge of the game and easy to listen accents. Same probably Phil Kearns used to make me laugh. Mexted was myopic but a legend all the same. Can’t stand the Scottish...

Not a fan of Ryle Nugent. Irritating voice and don’t like his style. I never had a problem with Harrison and Barnes. In fact we switched to them (Sky option) during the 2005 Lions series.
