This thread needs more Mo'unga hate. The Native? Couch? Puku? Yeah what happened ? Mind you whilst I’d still prefer Jordan at the back BB impressed . He did, he's always had it at fullback. I've always argued he is a very good defender, great under the high ball and his counter attacking game is ex...

Reflections after a second watch: From an overall perspective, apart from Frizzell being in beast mode, I feel it was the forward's handling that was the feature of the first half hour, along with ruck speed, and Smith just moving the ball so quickly. We hit the wall a wee bit, had a scrum shoved b...

Really didn't think the ball was anything like out but no difference in the end.

Frizzell was excellent, again.
Telea, good with ball in hand but lost on defense.

UNITED24.media @United24media · 5h The Trembita is Ukraine’s first native cruise missile created to overwhelm Russia’s defenses. “It’s simple, cheap, and good at exhausting enemy air defense systems,” explains Akym Kleymenov, the project’s chief engineer. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F06plAHWIAEu0JU...

Yeah my family has shown me that it’s not nearly a consensus of opinion as it’s promoted . Many farmers for example aren’t nearly as skeptical of climate change or measures to mitigate it as might be presumed either . I think this is reasonable. A lot of farmers understand environmentalism very wel...

Some engineering and scientific nous would go along way. On the other hand, the over representation among our politicians by directors, wannabe CEO types, accountants and boardroom lawyers is holding us back as a country. I agree with that.

Re the munitions discussion.

I’d start with Leicester . That's a fair call. My starting back 3 would be: 11. Stevenson 14. Narawa 15. Jordan 3 counter attacking geniuses who can also kick us out of trouble. Reality: 11. Clarke 14. Jordan 15. Barrett I agree with this. I don't think we have much chance of winning (the world cup...

As ofr what team we will put on field this week, I suspect it was well pencilled in last week, and probably the win over Pumas will let them stick with plans. I will be a little surprised if Samisoni isn't bought in, same as BR and SW in second row (Sam's achillies allowing), RMo at 10. Not sure wh...

On the Breakdown they were saying how Clarke did well... Particularly Karl Te Nana. Funny bunch on there. Clarke is bigger than the bus now, and possibly bigger than A bus as well.

Overall a good performance. The pattern in the first half was miles better than last year, we were popping passes to players running off short balls and making good inroads before doing anything too fancy. Players to stand out, De Groot, Frizzell, J Barrett, S Barrett, Ioane, Smith, Lord. The rest o...

None of them at this point.
McKenzie was the best in super rugby, but awful today, Mo'unga was reasonable, and Jordie Barrett terrible.

You honestly believe that bunk don’t ya ? Why then exactly does Luxon poll so poorly , because it’s quite unusual. You think maybe others aren’t buying it quite as easily or as desperately.

The sheer amount of looting suggests justice is not top of the agenda for the rioters.
