Poor horse, that’s a 6’7, 250lbs dude. Clydesdale’s your best bet, I should think? He's 6'11" actually. Is he level with the horses eyes when both are standing tall? That's important, you know. He's actually into training harness racing horses so they just have to drag his massive frame around (not...

The joys of being legally required to always carry a physical green card that will take months to be replaced if stolen or lost. That said, if you can’t do a generic Midwest accent after this long in the country you probably deserve to be deported. I think my kiwi accent is awesome and never try to...

I actually like it. It's brutal for us who are mad fans, but it shows that for some pros it's just a job, and that's like most of us isn't it? Just a way to put food on the table and pay a mortgage. I think I remember reading (and Yanks correct me if I'm wrong), but the European lad who is top MVP ...

Tabai Matson is pronounced Tambai Matson, because there is a silent M. No there fcuking isn't, you numpty. :lol: Huh? Yes, there is? I expect the man knows how to pronounce his own name. Am I being whooshed? You sure are - there is no M in the spelling but there is a clear M sound in pronunciation-...

Jay Cee Gee

This exchange has educated me that I have no idea what the opposite of a silent letter is called. Apparently 'invisible', 'ghost' or 'phantom' letter are terms used for it.

Just got stuck into season 2 last night. I am not familiar with the original source material but enjoyed the first season, great visuals and strong cast. Liked the Hob Gadling storyline which I thought they might expand upon. Yeah, not really a core character - but they do revisit him throughout th...

Sandman season 2, interesting to see how they adapt the comics (fairly faithful adaptation for the most part). Certain plotlines are somewhat interesting in the light of Neil Gaiman being accused of being a wrong 'un. Just got stuck into season 2 last night. I am not familiar with the original sour...

Meanwhile, Euro commentators and saffa commentators have been screwing up PI names for decades and never bother to learn the correct way to say it.

What do you mean, that famous South Sea Islander Tana Umarga never objected.

Jay Cee Gee

It has already. To me, it has exposed a number of players are being far from ready to make the step up to the next level, but it has also allowed us to see that a number of players are ready now or getting close to the required level. I am thinking of the likes of Brenan, Duguid, Fischer, Guillard ...

Unfortunately for her an "opinion" is not a criminal verdict. She is liable and she knows her shielding via the constitutional debate clause does not extend to public space forums. Stupid mistake.

Leaving aside that every French team ever has been together for the 5/6N and Autumn tour, neither of those simulate the campaign of a RWC environment as well as an overseas tour.

Twenty or thirty years ago he had the knack of winding up kiwi rugby fans down to a fine art. Yep, although you have to say he benefited massively from the early 2000's England actually being good.

TBF, someone teeing off at you on the 18th is pretty shit behaviour.

Terrible shame, going full sell out. I was hoping he'd go back towards his more interesting movies like Indendies and Enemy. No money in that yeah. I liked the dune movies a lot but they're far from his best, money must be insane though. I think 2049 box office broke his appetite for risk I don't t...

Abs might be further off than you think. Over the past decade and a half I’ve gone from 94 kgs to 70kgs. Even when I was at my leanest—68 kgs—abs were only just barely visible. I weighed in at 99.5kg at what I'd estimate at around 25/26% body fat - so would need to lose about 10kg overall to get to...

So I'm doing dry July and have lost like 4kg since weighing in on the 30th of June. Obviously a lot of that is water and it was also the heaviest I've ever been in my life, immediately after a boozy weekend of eating like absolute shit. Obviously the booze is extra calories, but probably the biggest...

I swear the world's gone mad. Black is white, yes is no and up is down... Boks are good guys all blacks bad. Too far? C'mon France have always been the good guys. Pick any SH team or England for the bad guys... :D The same French that were under the table professionals in the amateur era?

So, how do we feel about our courts being circumvented by a government Minister? I'm talking about the Fast Track process to approve projects, some of which have been rejected by the courts, in some instances, damn near every court in the land. For instance: Trans Tasman Resources seabed mining off...

Yeah, the PI's are fvcked without ancestry, hell they're fvcked even if only grandparent was removed. Hell we all know that don't we, but for all the talk (same as being able to go back after 3 year stand down) are really aimed at helping the Islands (rightfully). Just makes a mockery of us from SH...

The 1971 loss to the Lions was memorable for me.

I was negative 3 so that one didn't hurt much.

Agreed. Players should not be shopping international representation like a club contract. I don't blame them for it, but it shouldn't be allowed. Soccer doesn't seem to have the same problems that rugby does with this. Haaland isn't trying to play for England, Mkhitaryan isn't trying isn't trying t...

Interesting that the celts used to rip the shit out of England for having poaches, but now England have none and they’ve got plenty on their teams…all rather quiet on that front, or very defensive in many cases.

You got there eventually. :thumbup: I guess I don't think representation in International rugby should be based in which nation pays the most. Call me old fashioned. I think players should be able to play club rugby wherever they liike for whatever reason - including money. But International repres...
