Can the NH soft cocks still implement their caterpillar rucks?

OK, thank you for that counterpoint.

The poaches, of course. Every match report of the last few seasons seem to always single out JGP, Aki and quite often Lowe. Which is why they've been the recent Irish recipients of the player of the year award. Oh. Wait. Hmmmmm. :P I imagine that’s been the likes of Doris (he back in form yet, genu...

It comes up on my Netflix recs from time to time. So I’ll give it a pass then? Is it better or worse than Run Fatboy Run? Not comparable. RFR is a comedy with Simon Pegg at his best. Yesterday is a beige romcom with a Beatles tribute. It's grand. This. If you don't like the Beatles (or are ambivale...

Die! Die! Die! posted a really nice message about that on FB today. "Man, this hurts. Steve recorded our first album, and that record changed our lives.

In Utero was a sonic disaster, the biggest band in the world at the time deserved better than that shambolic demo level production. No it's not artsy maaaaan, it's lazy and stupid. RIP though. Abrasive in parts. There were a lot of "noise" songs on the album as Kurt referred to them. Not an unsurpr...

He'd record for anyone, as long as they paid. Not that it was exhorbitant cost either. You just didn't need all the right connections to have him sit in. Die! Die! Die! (Dunedin band) debut album was recorded by him. I didn't always agree with his opinions on things, but he certainly came from a dif...

Max Jorgensen - 3 years for $1.6m + match payments. Dropped and played for Randwick last week. Was there footage of him tearing it up as a schoolboy that went viral, or am I thinking of some tall lanky league teen? I think that was Joseph Suaali’i. He’ll also be at the Tahs next year, and he’ll be ...

Meanwhile in New South Wales……. The world’s highest paid u20 rugby player (by a country mile) is not playing in the JWC. Nosiree. On the weekend he did his hamstring playing amateur club rugby. Who is this? Max Jorgensen - 3 years for $1.6m + match payments. Dropped and played for Randwick last wee...

NZ team look in much better state as last years lot.

We need to keep this tournament going. 6 Nations U20 has shown what's needed.

Good hard fought win with the rain sheeting down. Bester looks to be a future Bok. I'd imagine quite a few of these players would go on to play pro and test rugby. Yeah agreed. So it all comes down to points difference on Sunday with every team on one win each. NZ only team without a loss.

mr bungle

Just clicked on. What was the Saffa red for? A stupid, low percentage play. Standing still then diving clean out to the back of prone players head in the ruck that was never gonna affect anything. Upgraded to red under review. Bit weird the 20 min red card. Getting another player back after such da...

Work hybrid on a 2/3 day a week split. Unfortunately the office is hours away from home so the commute is terrible. If I was asked to office work 5 days a week I'd have to look at calling it a day.

You don't know the half of it, half these bands were big 25 years ago :lol: And some like Mudhoney, Melvins & Mr Bungle more like 35 years ago. Late 80s, early-mid 90s.

Odd for a team that says it 'out of respect to the other team', it doesn't seem to have been mentioned to Tonga or Romania.... Perhaps because they would have more seen it as a sign of mockery as they had absolutely no chance to make the RWC final contrary to SA? Some people have really huge proble...

Nuance lost on so many on this thread. Apologies to the Irish.

Neinaber is one of the great men of rugby. Incredibly understated and reserved, but you can see the brain ticking over and driving the success. Quite a foil for a bloke like Rassie.

For a truly arrogant team bigging themselves up straight after beating a major rival it's a fairly odd, obscure way to twist the knife. We could all think of less flattering ones I'm sure.

Yes, a great point. Everyone is shit compared to McCaw.

But was it really arrogance to say something as absolute ? Remembering that after being thrashed by a Dan Carter lead AB team in the pool , the French said exactly the same thing ; and it seemed that the AB’s believed them.

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.

It’s quite clear that some Bok fans think that their guys are not being regarded with the GOAT-type status that back-to-back wins should give them - and like ABs were given in their time.

I 100% agree with the one New Zealand player on that list SBW. Massively overrated player.

Matt Giteau was the world’s highest paid player at a time when he was choking big matches left, right and centre. That always surprised me.
