and Cheslin Kolbe's try

True and while the defence was a bit weak on that try, Kolbe is so electric he's tough to defend in a situation like that.

How many important scrum penalties were there in that 2nd half? To me that's pretty much what decided the game. Hate to see series decided in that way.

As an AB fan, that was a strange test. I was disgusted with the first 10-15 minutes, the skill levels were awful but the ABs got better and better from there. Then just as they really looked like they were clicking Foster brought on the bench (unnecessarily for the most part in my view) and I was ba...

Those people who were calling the lockdown ridiculous for such a low number should be feeling pretty silly right about now. This Delta variant is like a whole new pandemic that is on a whole different level from the original virus. Is it really? I disagree. The same lockdown measures that helped ke...

The UK is going well by any measure Unless your system of measurement excludes the possibility of anyone dying. They didn’t hand the keys to the country over to the zero covid zealots. Brexit and Boris obviously had an impact there. Reading the Australian threads it’s interesting that there are a l...

Personally I dont even think Frizell should be in the team based on form. He's never set the world on fire whenever he has played for the ABs. But add this in and there is no way he should be anywhere near the team this year at the least. I believe in giving people second chances but you have to do ...

Rik Mayall is in my top 5 funniest people all time. His facial expressions alone were hilarious.
Bottom had some great moments, definitely agree about the Gasman.
One of my favorite bits was this, "Sellotape the sausage to the fridge!"

Even if the incident he was convicted on went like he said, and was a consensual activity, it still would have exposed his disgusting attitude towards women. The fact it was not consensual makes him an utterly despicable individual who I think should spend 10+ years in jail. What a scumbag.

In the past it was 15s > league > 7s. Now its 15s > the odd 7s final if it's on at a suitable time for me > league rarely and only if it is the Warriors or Kiwis but even them I'm watching less and less. I used to love league back in the day, but now I find too many NRL players are absolute pieces o...

I don't think the death sentence is the right thing to do in most cases. But a case like this makes me wish there could be exceptions to our current way of doing things. When there is absolutely zero doubt that the defendant is guilty of the crime, and the said crime is by many factors the most hein...

Cambridge is a nice little town there is central to most of the North Island. Always liked that place. I moved to Cambridge a year ago and its a nice little place. Very pleasant. Central location, close to the Tron but far enough away. Only an hour from Tauranga and Rotorua. Couple hours to Aucklan...

The flu doesn't overwhelm countries public health systems and kill frontline medical staff the way COVID-19 is. Ridiculous comment from Couch. No hospitals have been overwhelmed. Public health systems are coping very well, media has played it's part in spreading unnecessary fear and propoganda. All...

I cant believe Super Rugby Aotearoa is almost over, there isnt a final series which is no biggie, but it just seems awfully short. What happens once its completed? Mitre 10 cup starts? They were probably better off having everyone play each other 3 times. Why so much bitterness about the NZ comp? I...

A question for Blues fans, is Dan Carter ever going to get a game for your team? As Rangi dont ask us. I also wonder how many guys that can play 10 must you have in a matchday squad. I mean he has Black, Plummer and BB. It's a bit much. I cant work out what the Blues coaches see in Plummer. He's no...

Dark, I get the feeling you actually like it when people break quarantine. Do you? Gives him the opportunity to say nothing Jacinda does is good enough, but he's the same bloke that wants to give new arrivals a quarantine spot in any old cheap motel. Can people please stop quoting that tedious piec...

I would love to be able to work from home with a clear conscience knowing my productivity is the same or better. However I simply don't have the discipline or focus to be able to do that. I know it would be great for my mental health and would also save me money. But from my experience of WFH during...

any social distancing or spacing restrictions for spectators ?

Social distancing is gone, no limit on the number of spectators. A 7pm kickoff on a Saturday suits me better too. Cannot wait!

These stories are too good. Horrific and embarrassing but so funny I feel a bit jealous I don't have any stories that come remotely close. Although I don't have the same way with words some of you fine posters have

He really does have the best words and the best brain. “I tested very positively in another sense. So, this morning, yeah, I tested positively toward negative, right? No, I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning I tested negative. But that’s the way it’s taken, positively toward the negative.” I me...

I saw a quote on facebook about Trump that was something like "He's so stupid. So unbelievably stupid and I dont even have to say his name and everyone knows who I am talking about" There is a poster on this thread that could apply to as well , you could use the word stupid but I'd go for tedious. ...

I’ve listened to a bit of him before.... can’t really figure him out. He doesn’t really seem to have much of an opinion but rather just mirrors his guests opinion after a while, certainly in any episodes i’ve watched. Anyway most of his stuff is interesting, imo. Rogan is a fairly average guy with ...

The one thing that worries me with the whole marijuana debate is the conundrum around testing. I could load up with P on Friday night and it would be gone from the system prior to a drug test on Monday. For booze it would be gone by lunchtime Saturday. A smoke at the same time would still show up 4...

I was in Canada last January when I thought a girl next to me on a bus was lighting up! Turns out she was just rolling one up from her stash ready to smoke at our destination. Up to that point I hadn't realized Canada had recently legalized dope. I'm not sure. You hear such conflicting reports abou...

It's a badge of honour that the US has the most coronavirus cases... :lol: I thought it was fake. Nope. “I view it as a badge of honor, really, it’s a badge of honor,” Trump told reporters during a cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday. “ It’s a great tribute to the testing and all of the w...

I'll probably go no and no on the referendums. Weed laws aren't harsh and no one cares anyway. Why change them? Also, I've had major problems getting weed at points in my life so I won't be happy with a sudden free-for-all. :x Having said that, if you can take a black market revenue source away fro...

Davedj77

The opposite on the other. The flag debate was scuppered by offering the choice first. Let people decide whether they want change first. Then work on the options. There are enough overseas examples already up and running to compare. Results will speak for themselves. I think the Portuguese model of...

Where we'all at with the cannabis referendum? I'm a hazy YES. 100% Yes and I'll actually be devastated if weed isn't legalised. Before COVID-19 I thought it would be the most important thing to happen this year (for me personally). As far as the country goes, I think a big factor for "yes" would be...

I've enjoyed The Last Dance so much, I'm really going to miss it, so I've saved the last episode to watch in the next day or two. For me the 1990s was the greatest era for all sports that I love. It probably also had something to do with those being my teenage and early 20s years. I'll never revere ...

Well Ive just had an enlightening experience a hand at the front line so to speak. In the theme of supporting local Ive just been to the terrace, Christchurch's hotspot for bars, restaurants and nightlife. Most sunday afternoons down there are packed.

I wont be going out to any restaurants. I will be reducing my discretionary spending and making sure I have rainy day money for the future. Same here. There is a part of me that wants to support such businesses but this whole experience has made me realise how on a knife edge everyone lives. One da...

Very interesting that they have opted for 5.05pm Saturday and 3.05pm Sunday time slots. Very different from the old Super Rugby scheduling. As much as I like daytime rugby, I'm disappointed there aren't Friday night games. But I'll take what I can get, and I do like the idea of Sunday afternoon rug...
