I love how EllaNPfan loves to call other posters partisan, but steadfastly defends every example of Liberal-National corruption and dishonesty without batting an eyelid. Why don't you actually have a closer look at what's been happening, instead of trolling here. Today under questioning from ICAC y...

Mo'unga has been sporting a neat little mullet all year. Tbh I don't find a mullet as offensive to look at as a moustache.

I just thought I'd start a placeholder thread so when he is eventually moved to no.6 I can sell myself as some sort of Rugby savant. He's got the workrate, physicality and mobility to make a good 6 and most importantly he provides a genuine lineout third target that none of the other options current...

Of course you don't recognise new AB players if you haven't watch any pro Rugby for years. Why comment on something so obvious?

I still haven't watched a single professional rugby game in about two years (I won't bore you again with the reasons why). However, when I was in the gym yesterday, I couldn't help but see highlights of the Abs v USA game. There were two things that stuck out for me while watching the highlights: 1...

That was a glorified training run. No structure.

I thought Mo'unga, Ennor, Jordan and Bridge were all excellent. And Barrett, Perenara, Cane and Lomax were poor. Bower also looked good when he came on.

The quality of this year's provincial comp seems high, but for some reason I'm not as excited by it as I have since 2008 or thereabouts. I'm not sure why? I'll probably tune out for the rest of the comp and start watching it again next year. Maybe it's because Canterbury is so shit this year they m...

Looking forward to watching this game when I wake up. Do I think it will be competitive? No. But I'm always excited to watch the AB's play regardless of the opposition. In particular I am looking forward to seeing Mo'unga back at no.10 and how the the backrow and midfields combine. I won't be settin...

Anna and the Pfizer rep crushed Covid again. In less than 24 hours this time. Jeez they are good. Also pleasing to see just over 6 000 tests completed in the last 24 hours across the entire state.

I'm looking forward to seeing Quinn play. I think he will be a revelation on this tour. I don't have the same love for Ennor. Interesting post given so far in their professional careers across all levels of Rugby, Ennor has shown much more promise than Tupaea has. Very much an opinion, I have rated...

In a nod to AC - and his loathing of BB - my question would give they only choose 2 first fives and one back up why play DMAC and BB. Fixed. Could have given Jordan a start at 15 with DMac off the pine and BB left right out. Two of the AB's three first fives are in the starting XV. There is no need...

Nice to see Mo'unga back, and Brayden in the team after he's had lots of injury issues. I hope Josh Lord plays well, we need 2m+ locks coming through, not relative man-midgets like Vaa'i.

guy smiley wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 8:59 pm Fair to call that a bit of an experimental team?

That would be fair to say, although as always with the AB's it contains plenty of quality. If that backrow clicks they could unleash serious pain on our American boets.

Add Archer and Stokes in and it might have been a decent contest. I don't think either team is hugely strong right now. Without them, it's hard to see much better than 4-1 if I'm being generous, with a decent chance of 5-0. The Australian bowling attack is world class, especially on Australian wick...

Ere Enari has left the Crusaders and has signed with Moana Pasifika. He's actually in career best form for Hawkes Bay, and is a good signing for them. I wonder if the can sign Lincoln McClutchie at 10? He'd be a decent signing as well. The NZ Super Rugby teams are on notice, if you have decent young...
