yeah if they were so great how come they were quivering behind Balin all in fear of a king and his mate who later got taken out by Cersei and Joffrey? More like bit players who are likely to be eaten by the dragons (Victorian) and Whitewakers (Euron) in future events.

IMO Cruden is a strong willed determined little bugger who will ensure this week his kicking is back up to scratch. The rest of his game was what we have come to expect from him firing his backline, his distribution was accurate and varied setting up his outsides. Carter is not the robust player he ...

Nafi Tuitavake really??? Unbelievable. Can someone give the full story on the shittiest NZ S14 player in any squad. Was he a schoolboy star they think could yet live up to potential or is he a budha like life skills coach who inspires others around him to do better. Can he cut the oranges and make t...

His agent was probably getting hot air blown up his arse from over the Tasman based on the increased TV money they thought they were gonna get but then Ewen, Kurtly and Di shat the bed ratings plummeted and the money offers never materialized. So if he is going anywhere I doubt it will be to Aus. Mo...

***planet rugby forum shocker***

Outspoken righteous Aussie rugby fans who demand everything their own way shocked Wallaby players are outspoken, righteous and demand everything their own way.

fudge off with this Saint Ewen Mckenzie shit then. It is just pity this is professional sport. maybe he wasnt that great a coach but just a good coach with issues off the field and Aussie rugby situation has been improved by getting someone else in. This is professional sport All the doom merchants ...

wasn't their a big storm about Genia wanting to leave the Reds for the Force in the McKenzie years after they won the title?

Why did Higgenbotham leave?

You didn't see Richie McCaw or Dan Carter wanting out of the Crusaders or Aaron Cruden and Brodie Retallick wanting out of the Chiefs

What about Genia and Horwill?? Justin Marchall wrote a column a few weeks back about Genia being fit and rearing to go http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11344092 I spoke to Will when our paths crossed in Argentina recently and he is fit and raring to go. He just wants ...

yeah they didn't go great did they? Great would be like 2011 backing it up like the Chiefs, Crusaders and Bulls have managed. They did ok in 2012 and 2013 (as you would expect with any team with a roster of players capable of winning the title in 2011) but not great or even pretty good. 1st to 6th a...

In 2012 they only got that position because of the aussie conference they should have only been 6th and they were destroyed at home in Brisbane by the sharks in the qualifying semi 30-17. In 2013 they were outplayed by the Brumbies in the Aussie conference and were lucky the other 3 were so terrible...

Everyone keeps saying NSW conspiracy but how happy do you think Will Genia and James Horwill were under McKenzie as Wallaby coach? What about Quade? If I remember correctly the Reds didn't go that great in Mckenzies last few seasons in charge and that would have been when Di Pattson became involved ...

Australia didn't monster us in the forwards. It just waqsn't a forwards orientated game It was a free flowing high tempo game that both teams entered into. Barrett saw alot of ball but we did little with it and coughed it up to the Aussies. I also agree with whoever said we got our No 6 wrong in the...

All Blacks lacked creative spark and looked very unthreatening on attack Nisbett was utlra excited calling Barretttttt a number of times as he accelerated onto the ball pumping him as much as Ian Smith does but the Aussies were waiting and the breaks Nisbo was anticipating just turned into tackles. ...

the Canterbury halfback is atrocious. Pass is terrible and he dithers to top it off. Destroys quick ball.

Shit call on Janurie.

No wonder they have to introduce quotas in SA to give black players a chance with assessments like that.

Roy Dotrice actually did a fantastic job of game of thrones, clash of kings and storm of swords. Fans loving his audio on the initial books wanted to hear him complete the series However Martins slowness meant he was getting too old well into his late 80s by the time A Dance with Dragons came out an...

Adair certainly sounds like a sanctimonious type. I wonder if he has considered how hard it is to be the only Aborigine in a team of basically White Australians. Taking the well trodden path of discrimination against woman in the work place may earn him plaudits from Germaine Greer but is not very p...

The Blue Grotto on Capri swimming in not the boat tour I think deserves a mention. I also think Paris and Venice deserve mentions as they were two of the big see tourist attractions of Europe that lived up to the hype despite the masses of tourists.

It is Steve Hansens fault. Under him the All Blacks have been so successful that it is impossible to argue or criticize his selections much or try to claim the All Blacks are not the best team in the world other than a few looney Ref conspiracy whinges and their is only a limited number that will bu...

Isn't what Joan said about the Palestine situation a similar kind of sentiment to berating someone who has achieved more than you in their lifetime in a condolence thread?

At least Joan's stich was shock value what is your guys justification for showing such little class.

My wife always watches her show fashion police and I am often on the couch next to her with the computer reading this forum. She quite often amuses me with her one liners. I am not a fan of female comedians in general either so I would rate her fairly highly on the basis of her making me laugh. Sad ...

Look all this reads is that if NZ want to do the unprecedented and win two WC's in a row then they are not only gonna have to be better than the opposition but better than the opposition who will be given a free license by the referee while watching NZ like Hawks. NZ will basically need to beat 16 m...

Dagg is also a organizer and leader in the backline and helps set the tone of their play something that Ben Smith's game doesn't currently possess. Best illustrated by the way Dagg comes into first receiver (in attack and in defense to kick) to vary things and take the pressure off our pivot and sto...

For me 1. Ben Franks 2. Dan Coles 3. Owen Franks 4. Brodie Retalliack 5. Sam Whitelock 6. Kaino or Messam 7. McCaw 8. Read 9. A Smith 10. Cruden 11. Savea 12. Nonu or Fekitoa 13. Conrad Smith 14. Ben Smith 15. Israel Dagg 16. Wyatt Crockett 17. Kevin Mealamu 18. Charlie Faumuina 19. Bird or Tuipulot...

Does Dagg come back for this? Ben Smith was excellent again, and his long kicking game was very impressive too as an aside, but Jane was really poor - he hardly featured. Did Smith really do well at fullback though or did he play like a winger in the 15 jersey. He certainly didn't control the game ...

NZ looked clueless on how to play wet weather rugby other than kick it and then be surprised that the Wallabies could recycle it through multiple phases when they couldn't. Peyper definitely bailed out their scrum but All Blacks threw it away when they subbed Dane Coles for Mealamu. Sorry to say but...

All Black camp been very quiet and respectful of the Wallabies over the last week and a half.

Not a good sign for the cocky Wallabies

Last rites my arse. The NZRU is always going to need it to develop its players in the same way NZ cricket needs the plunket shield to develop its players. Look at Feikota. He didn't just arrive on the scene this year like some think. He was rejected by the Blues in previous seasons but was able to b...

I would like to see some deterrent to delinquent behaviour as clearly cautions and ASBOs don't work.

I'm about third choice 12 for Ireland which should give a strong indication of our sub par player depth. We have about 85 senior male players in total. For every Jared Payne poach though you have to add about 1000 players to your number of adult male players. Simply because of Wheat from chaff. It ...

Never that partial to them. Mickey was not too annoying but Jerry was a prick and I always wished one of those cartoons would end with Tom catching eating him (chewing with blood bones and gristle) then cut to 'The End'

oh ok so he is not the guy in mereen I am thinking of.

Looked it up and that is Skahaz mo Kandaq. So lord knows why they have cast that fat dude. Must be gonna do a big storyline on Tyrion as a slave.

I think Yezzan zo Qaggaz is likely to be a vital character in the upcoming book as when Danny returns to Mereen she will find him ruling. He is likely the noble in charge of the 'Sons of the Harpy' who attempted to poison Danny with the locusts and framed Hizdahr and set up Barristan Selmy to die in...

Whereas previous World Cups NZ fans have sweated on the fitness of superstars like Richie McCaw and Dan Carter this World Cup we will have to sweat on the fitness of Dane Coles who is unlikely to be nominated for many peoples World XV's.

Some are, some aren't. It all depends on the credibility and the agenda of the person propagating them. A good example of a conspiracy theory that was proven correct was the Hillsborough disaster. The aftermath was handled to ensure that those responsible (the South Yorkshire Police, Sheffield Wedn...

David Luiz will be back you don't get to play for Chelsea in the first place unless you are a decent player. He is no defensive organizer or leader though and those two they roped in were as ropey as Marcelo. Luiz mistake was trusting them to do their jobs. It was a big loss for them losing Thiago S...

Given the way he won in 2002 I was shocked Scolari omitted Kaka and Robinho out of his squad. People say their form was poor but they had the same kind of incentive to get up for this tournament that Ronaldo and Rivaldo did in the last tournament redemption. It was a shit squad and Hulk and Fred are...
