NZR were morons destroying the NPC. It was tribal. It was the NRL of NZ. Yup. At least they finally showed their true colours about it last year in the governance review. Anyway, this deal is a good step, now we just need the rest of the unions to take a leaf out of Hawkes Bay's books (I think they...

Since at least the beginning of this Super Rugby Aupiki season, if not before. Why do you ask? This one was 12 years ago so since then at least https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M6WHw645lE In celebration AFTER winning the Super Rugby title is an exception. A bit like Razor doing his break dance rout...

A tough on crime approach doesn't work Enz. Try to talk to the kids and understand their cultural background that may have lead to their offending before you disassemble said bike and speaker.

I quite like Rakete-Stones but I don't think he is mobile enough to be a loose foward. Numia on the otherhand probably could fill in at 6 at a pinch. RS is probably unlucky with the unheralded Tosi coming up with some clutch plays & Mafileo coming straight into the front row, probably for his size....

I see the Magpies in the 23 quota is two this year, Rakete-Stones dropping out of the 23 to make way for Flanders. Go the Blues.

Oh my bad , I thought he skipped out....I can remember the outrage and the song of course The only good from this incident was it revealed to NZ that the Sensible Sentencing Trust were anything but sensible and were just a pack of fvcktards. Well one of the founders was murdered....karma ? :roll:

Haha. Prof Joanna Kidman is under the gun from ACT about disparaging comments made about their policy for children. What happened to the need for free speech, Seymour? Academic freedom in enshrined in the Education Act anyway. Unless she’s broken the law, she’s on pretty firm ground I would expect....

I rewatched that replay three times and he had his legs bent, I guess the level is of squatting needed these days is quite low.

I got a bit confused and cheered for Ollie Sapsford then remembered he was playing for the wrong team.

Not just NZ and Aus.. The thing is that Australia and NZ have the ingredients to start fixing things but don't work properly together.

Not his fault if a bunch of Kiwi no-hoppers can't give him the platform to perform his magic.

I think a better solution would be to scrap Super Rugby and instead elevate the NPC - have the 4 or 5 Oz teams join that. Not a bad solution. It would definitely dilute the talent between the 14 NZ teams. But 14 NZ teams vs 4 - 5 australian teams is hardly fair from an outside perspective. If all c...

I know it's your thread so you can make up the rules (like including quiches in a pie thread) but surely a key factor in rating pies is eating them hot from the place that makes them. You are very welcome to rate any pies, or quiches, you buy hot. Or cold. What if you stuff up the reheating? Buy an...

Did you see that utter BS article in RNZ blaming climate change for the fact basic food costs have increased by 50% in the last year while Oz’s has gone down by 29%!! :x Which foods are these? All of my staples have been going up in the past two years. You need to let me know so I can adjust my diet.

Very tragic news. :(( Get your health checkups lads. So tragic when someone drops dead from an underlying condition they may not even have been aware of. Good call.

See I didn’t mind Wind River. Yellowstone is really shitty however especially the way Native American characters and life is dealt with . The dude from Wind River is essentially just an older version of this guy: Hated the way the white guy was the only one privy to the native spirit experience.
