Cameron... his 6 minute cameo almost bailed BB out for the worst 10 on the day. :lol: BB's passing game remains utter mud. x( I cling to the idea that Barrett will be much better when he has a decent halfback to play with. Perenara is just awful. But he has in the ABs with Smith and with a Rolls Ro...

It's a double sevens side plus one.

It wasn't their forwards that were the problem; the backs, especially Perenara and Barrett, were a shambles.

And that was the player Steve Hansen thought was worthy of an AB cap.

And Drummond comes on to lower the standard even further. The lack of basic skill in this game is alarming. What is happening in NZ rugby?

Waka Nathan

Both sides are handicapped by dreadful halfbacks.

Waka Nathan

Even that one was dicey - the claim was he could see what he was doing, it was in the middle of a maul, and I'm not even sure he was looking down to see, yes he was reckless but not the bit of thuggery it was made out to be. I agree. He was in the middle of a driving maul and Smith, sitting the gro...

Another league one The troy Flavell stomp and eye gouge were pretty bad. The Troy Flavell “eye gouge” didn’t really happen though. The photo he got done on was an optical illusion. It's amazing the way the so-called eye-gouge keeps getting brought up. As soon as the video of the incident was shown,...

No one really gave a shit about the forward pass, surely his TJ was really at fault. I don’t know why our media crapped on about it. We just needed him to grow some nuts and call any one of the countless defensive french penalty infringements. One of the weirdest reffed games in history. The touch ...

In the world cups the refs all put away the whistle in the sudden death games - its always been the case but we couldnt adjust. Although, he certainly got the card out for Luke M in a hurry It was a legitimate card. No one has ever put the whistle away like that, in any test match I’ve ever seen, n...

The last time we suffered a terrorist attack, the convicted terrorist was sent back to his home country on a deal and they treated him like a hero, leaving NZ feeling as if we had been cheated. of justice. Not that I believe for an instant Australia would do that, this one should stay in NZ prison ...

I never doubted them for a second.

Every time the Blues get quick ruck ball Parsons puts himself at first receiver to kill all momentum or turn the ball over. He really is fcking useless. Depriving Harry Plummer of a chance to work his magic? Just between you and me, I'd rather Harry keeps the fck away from the ball unless absolutel...

Australia huffed and puffed about having the same number of Super Rugby teams as NZ ...for reasons of fairness. Now that the expansion has blown up in their face, they now want NZ to reduce the number of their teams...for reasons of fairness. Amazing.

The surgeon that operated on Rosco's eyes deserves a knighthood: he's seeing them as big as footballs these days.

[Barnes refs the2007 game the same way he always does. He may have missed a borderline pass in 2007, and it was norderline but he still reffed the game as consistently as the others. Only kiwis feel different and still hold the grudge. Joubert shat his pants in 2011 and most of the world thinks so....

Waka Nathan

Is Plummer the best 10 playing in the Blues catchment? He's shit. Perofeta is injured. What's new? Has that guy ever been fit for a run of two games or more? What about Otere Black? Is he on the bench? Otere Black isn't very good. Plummer is a only kid, but at least he runs with the ball and doesn'...

Another monumental SBW fckup and the Sunwolves score.

Waka Nathan

First action of the game: Pulu stuffs around at he base of a ruck, then kicks the ball down the throat of the fullback, the Sunwolves counterattack and nearly score.
Fck me. And there's an even worse halfback on the bench.

Waka Nathan

Why the hell is Cooper running Brad Weber into the ground when he has All Black TTT on the bench getting no game time? Madness.

Waka Nathan

Nanai-Seturo scores a try...gets subbed. What? Is the young guy also on restricted minutes /game?

Waka Nathan

Enari is a genius. How the likes of Drummond get on the field ahead of him is a mystery. I'm still confused that Drummond and Hall got called into the ABs last year - hell if Chris Eaton was still playing he would have rated himself a chance of making the team. Hansen and Co haven't got too much wr...

Never seen Sevu Reece before, is he NZ qualified? No, moved here at 17 and still not quite qualified Had a contract with Connacht torn up this year over a domestic abuse arrest so theee is that, I suppose Oh fudge, that was him? :uhoh: Yep, bullshit that NZR let the Crusaders pick him too. naki: He...

Waka Nathan

The last thing a struggling team needs is someone like McKenzie at 10.

Waka Nathan

What a pleasure it is watching Enari at halfback: every pass snapped out fast and accurate.

Waka Nathan

The Crusaders backs will welcome Enari's snappy pass. It can't be long before Drummond is relegated to the wider training group.

Waka Nathan

I've been impressed by Quinten Strange the young Crusaders lock. He seems to be a smart player with a good engine.

The only Chiefs player that should not feel guilty picking up his pay cheque is nineteen-year-old Etene Nanai-Seturo.

Kirifi and Tiatia as mentioned.

Waka Nathan

So how do the Blues coaches imagine they'll win games? The backs are a shambles, too few ball runners in the forwards, a moron at halfback, a shoveler at ten, a pensioner at 12...

Waka Nathan

On this showing so far, the Blues are even worse than last year. Nonu needs to retire; he's so far off the pace it's embarrassing. And why does Parsons line up as first receiver every time the Blues manage to create quick ruck ball-- all momentum is lost. Perofeta can't come back soon enough: Black ...

Drummond is killing the Crusaders.

2 thoughts. 1. The Sunwolves don't seem to have a lot of Native Japanese players. 2. Maybe New Zealand rugby is just as vulnerable (if not more) as South Africa to the player drain to Europe. New Zealand is certainly vulnerable to player drain--but that is not as important as the loss of so many hi...

I was going to say that! But the Blues just made me fcking angry; Coopers Clowns make me feel sad: all the work done by Wayne Smith and Dave Rennie destroyed by a bunch of impostors.

Waka Nathan

One of these teams has an excellent coach; the other's got Colin Cooper.

Easily the worst Chiefs team in history. Dumb selections, dumb tactics and stacked with players anonymous even at NPC level. The physical impact of the Chiefs loose forwards: zero.

Waka Nathan

Is that Grant Fox top row third in from the right?

Waka Nathan

Perenara's passing is dreadful.
