I liked Dorne a hell of a lot more than I liked that f**king potato Bran or Dany et al pissing around in Mereen.

Or f**king Penny. Ugh.

Honestly, you should have a grad job lined up before you graduate. That being said, if you don't, you're in a world of hurt. I graduated at the end of 2009, and grad applications were insanely intensive then. You honestly couldn't do more than two a day competently. I did odd jobs inbetween Uni and ...

Disagree. Our senior public servants need to be the experts. Our dodgy pollies need to start listening to them for long-term benefit. The issue isn't the levels of expertise; rather it's desire for our elected numpties to care nothing more then short term political point scoring. We should be grate...

Mathewson is behind Smith, TKB, and TJP, and if any of those three went down he'd be behind fat Weepu and the player apparently hated by Hansen in Andy Ellis. Then I think Bryn Hall would get a look in as well. Mathewson is in good form, but he's never sustained form over any period of time which i...

He must be pretty confident that NZRU is going to change the rule to allow guys playing in Australia to be selected by the AIGs Why? Because he is the 2nd best NZ halfback on current form. I'm sure he'd love to get more caps. No he's not, and he's way down the pecking order for NZ 9s ... which is w...

I'll be interested to see how Jack Debreczeni goes. I hope he gets some game time. I watched him a bit when he played school boys rugby - good hands and twinkle toes and not scared to take it to the line. His Rebels profile says almost 2 metres... Must have had a growth spurt. Yeah there were rumou...

I heard they were going to change the mascot to a potato, so they could keep the name "Redskins"

Everytime I see the word spiv I imagine some tinfoil hat loon foaming at the mouth complaining about progress. Really? You think the suggestion in the OP is progress? I'd love to hear your reasoning. Where did I say that? All I said that all this "spiv" this and "spiv" that is grating and strikes m...

I like the sounds of this Cardy bloke. But who does he play for?

f**king phone. Yes, I'm saying fardy at 4, higgs at 6, palu at 8.

It's really just hit me how shitty it is that Godwin is injured... 10. Toomua / 12. Godwin could've been magic... :x Godwin is nowhere near test level. Maybe in a year or two. Maybe. What? He is certainly at test level. Why dont you think he is? He hasn't grabbed a SR game by the balls and bossed i...

As opposed to Beale, who has never looked good at 10. He is a centre or outside back. Really? I thought he looked great for the Rebels in 2012 at flyhalf. When he's fit and in form, he looks a very dangerous 10. Problem has been his fitness. Beale would be the guy I'd most be concerned about as a N...

Looks strong, I mean weak. I don't understand why Two-dads is played at wing, I have always regarded him as a very good 13, especially in test rugby. Probably because he doesn't pass the ball. Ever. It works at Super Level against the Lions, Cheetahs, Reds etc But not at test level. Also, we are ve...

Do the guys picking Foley over Beale at 10 watch rugby? He is a limited ayer and mostly shit. 1. Slipper 2. Moore 3. Alexander 4. Horwill (c) 5. Skelton 6. Fard 7. Hooper 8. Higgers 9. Phipps 10.

I played in school - when our AFL team was short they usually drafted in a few rugby guys. Defenseman obviously.

Most memorable moment was getting into a punch-up with a guy who was a SG Ball player for the Steelers. I lost.

Not too bad. Interesting that McCabe is seen as a back three player. I like Cowan, so not worried about that, but surprised no Smith or Longbottom. Ryan is a bit of a head scratcher.

I've just heard that Read will miss this week's game against the Highlanders because of man-flu. By my reckoning this will be the 8th game he will miss out of a possible 12 this season. If the NZRU want to keep the world's best player fresh for the All Black season why don't they just come out and ...

Zakar

Doesn't matter, the Crusaders have All Black Luke Whitelock to play 8, so they aren't missing much.

The French flag is pretty handy. Needs only two folds to turn it into a flag of surrender.

I was speaking on facebook to one of my ex-teammates from UNC, who told me that another Tar Heel a few years after me went to that wacko combine. Apparently it was very professional, although that was mostly the European coaches. Some of the guys had never seen a rugby ball before and were useless. ...

A 79-year-old woman called Stella Liebeck made history by suing McDonald's after dropping a coffee in her lap and suffering third-degree burns to her thighs and groin. As a result, the Stella Awards – highlighting ambitious or ridiculous lawsuits – was initiated, and now companies treat us like idi...

It's not just more than all the money in the world, but more all the money in the world squared, times another million or so for good measure. Yes indeed.

Could start the Singapore Stars with that sort of money.

With Inglis at fullback, Adrian Peterson at Centre, and LeBron James at Lock.

GS, I follow the news religiously. You can tell me that there is mass support for environmental issues, but this flies in the face of everything I see and read.
