For me it is (in order): Frank Bunce - plus he scored my favourite try (ABs vs SA, 2nd test I think, to win the series in ‘96) BOD - wonderful player and runner, broke my heart scoring in front of me for Leinster vs. Quinn’s (that match) Michael Jones - so good, awesome player Jonny Wilkinson - very...

Have a looked at the facilitators of this deal:
1) Proper small scale non financial spivs - essentially a sports mgmt company (not a finance or investment org)
2) they’re linked to CVC. Expect this to be equity based - NRL is selling itself

He’s a selfish cnut, plain and simple.

Kahu - selfish cnut.

we have a new puppy - a tamaruke

I doubt RA could afford to pay out Raelene. I still think RC has overall done OK (resigning Israel - bad, going to market on the tv deal - good, changing Chek's power and bringing in selectors / director of rugby - good). It may turn out to be a shit storm .... but then given COVID-19 many organisat...

J man - should be fine but only issue which maybe worth checking is that many contracts / IT plocies state that anything built on their tech belongs to the firm.

So if you do any self creation - write stories, songs, take photos etc check its your IP.

Tinder volumes must be well off ....

My first game of the year (+35yrs golden oldies) called off at Eastwood.

Disappointed but makes sense.

I think I’m playing hockey again this year - that’s still on - first game Sat.

Eight week comp - each NZ team plays each other home and away. 5th team has bye that week - starts in two weeks (landers have first bye).

Fri and sat night games.

Then finals between ladder 1&2.

9!weeks takes us to end May - then in National comp.

I have no idea who Naki supports this year ... but this is quite needy.

There are no competition winners at this stage. Simple.

kiwigreg369

Not sure why Saders fans are so keen to end the season.

I’m looking forward to Inter-NZ games first, Chiefs should have another crack at the Canes (maybe the Saders would like another crack at the Chiefs) ... plus a better ITM as mentioned...

kiwigreg369

Poor from chiefs.
I thought DMaC was poor in general - especially his kicking.

Did Cruden get picked up for late no arm hit on Fletcher Smith? (Not red but yellow)...

kiwigreg369

Game of the round (except the Aussie and Safa derbies....)

Partly because the others will probably get called.

About 6 hours to kick off - looking forward to seeing TJ vs. Weber

kiwigreg369

About 20 beers in the fridge / 20+bottles of wine and some spirits
80+ toilet rolls
Food for a couple of weeks
Some water
Camping gear and gas (just been camping)

Think ok for a couple of weeks.

Interesting that Gatland is going further ... but to MrBs point he can do it with consideration of team form and position.

Was on the radio - will have a look

kiwigreg369

WTF?

Is this for real? Anyone following this story?

It rings a bell but seems a bit of a strange one.

Allegations made by Feldman in documentary released overnight in LA. Extension of #metoo and abuse of power in the movie world?

kiwigreg369

Expected to be wet on Friday - not sure on game.

England looking a bit amateurish here - Marko in self isolation for CONV19.

kiwigreg369

But worrying in Aus:
- one doctor With virus (Ryde Hospital)
- one age care worker with virus (Macquarie park) - worrying given impact by age (+15% for over 80 that contract the virus)

MatPat - you may wish to stay stateside - that’s your area isn’t it

kiwigreg369

Early days but looks like teams will be weaker than in the past.

That said the conference - total points / total points per game etc is still stronger than Safa and Aus one...

Roll on the next third of games and tours and let’s see where things are...

kiwigreg369

No comment on individuals - performance wish Mc deserves it.

What I do like is:
- aspiration to put in place an Aussie coach
- plan to build his knowledge and experience to make him more likely to be successful

kiwigreg369

With my optimistic hat the good news is that this question exists for almost all positions - who are our locks, our back row, our midfield, our back three etc. a lot of questions to be answered.

I think the answer to 12 must include 13 - what is the best combo.

kiwigreg369

Rather than worry about their dress are the Boks really the best team (all sports) in the world?

Really- they lost the first match of the RWC etc - hardly a dominant/outstanding team.

kiwigreg369

Stop flufffing Enz you two. Anyway ... read Stuff report that Gatland is going to rotate players - Weber and Boshier out, plus Stevenson I think. - Jacobson in (think sub) - Jr Nahalo in BTW - Adam Thompson??? Caught me by surprise last week, do the Chiefs have a support the aged quota? (Beaver last...

Sydney - likely to die of extreme motion sickness from shit driving in cabs...

kiwigreg369

Saders looked lovely in parts. Line out was awesome.

14 penalties- high again - poor discipline again this week.

kiwigreg369

Almost went for the blues in the picking comp - then bottled it and went Saders by 11.
Blues have been Ok so far - expect more of the same tonight but expect Saders to get up and win.

ScoBa was good last week - be interesting if he can be strong all game. Big Pat was Ok last week - but not AB level.

kiwigreg369

Good to see the Blues are following rest protocols for the Ioane brothers.

Nice battle of 7’s here - Christie vs. Papalii.

kiwigreg369

Fark that ... hate them. Last time I had a snake in the garden it was when I lived in Capetown - hated it then as well....

kiwigreg369

And now ... got a snake on the garden.
I hate snakes (it’s common non dangerous type)....

AC - I read the article earlier and don’t think a recession is highlighted, more the lack of surplus (and therefore another failure from the coalition). So don’t think recession - but if need to reduce debt then possibly expenditure cuts and/or up tax. Undermines the Coalition’s ’strong financial mg...

Great - rain - had flooding at home, multiple trees down, power out in out neighbourhood but not us - but did lose water on Sunday.

More to come.

Yesterday - stupid humidity and top day today .. with more rain for next 7 days. Hope they retain water management focus for a bit longer.

Jason Ryan not a fan either "Joe Moody this week went straight into 50 minutes of a NZ derby without having any pre-season games," Ryan said, following other coaches, including Tony Brown and Warren Gatland, in speaking out against the protocols. "[He] was reasonably sore [after the game], and it i...
