why are so many people crossed by a black dude in a cartoon ? Probably because it's symbolic of a general trend towards subverting the facts to promote a political agenda. More specifically it's symbolic of subverting European culture\history to promote acceptance of multiculturalism. People are an...

Anyone that uses terms like "snowflake" etc deserves an uppercut. The fact that that still shot shows a black celt is laughable and it's understandable people would get annoyed. Would be a bit like having the history of China and having a white guy in the army. You've seen The Wall with Matt Damon,...

Disgraceful for NZRU to even try that on...really will stop at nothing to gain a tiny advantage. Even worse that the committee bought it. I hope he gets another red in the first minute...mostly as that's our best chance of winning, and he's the most likely one to do it. Neat trick we picked up from...

Of course it's a penalty, even if accidental. It's a yellow card because the Lions were denied a crack at an open line because the ball was interfered with on the ground by an opposing player. Out of interest, where does it say it's a yellow card if it's accidental in the laws? It doesn't. Jaco mad...

Lions played very good rugby after a hesistant start. They played to their strengths and wore the Canes out. Good game plan, worked for them. Yeah, the Lions were the better team and clearly deserved to win. This thread is all about a few shit-stirring convicts living vicariously through Saffa succ...

I don't think he deliberately played at the ball at all. He's pushing off his left foot to get out of there BEFORE the unco 7 fucks up gathering the ball its dragged out atop his other leg. Peyper himself said while it may not have been deliberate, it was the result of the action he pinged him on. ...

Why are there always this huge moan when a Kiwi gets carded? They've been getting away with murder for years. Referees are following the laws and players also need to. You overstep the line, you get a card. A grand global conspiracy spanning decades and encompassing all neutral officials versus a f...

Bullshit card. BB is removing himself smartly from the ruck as required, hardly his fault a Lions player places the ball on his leg. While a penalty is justified given the Lions were detrimentally affected by the action, to claim it was a deliberate ploy on BB's part is really reaching for an offici...

Only simple imbeciles think he's innocent. Makes me sick when I see him in the media. Hopefully he chokes on a chicken bone. The disturbing thing is one of those imbeciles was a retired Canadian judge, a scary insight into the calibre of some of the law professionals that make their way to the top....

Coleman over Kruis. Stephen Hoiles was on Kick and Chase tonight and he reckons Coleman will be the best forward in the game in a couple of years time. Huge call. Have to start keeping a closer eye on his play. He's honestly the most important player in Australia by a large margin at the moment, in...

Fekitoa's decision-making and passing are too poor to be the AB incumbent. He hasn't improved his weaknesses and he's not making the searing breaks to the same degree that catapulted him into the ABs. It's not unusual for blokes in their mid-20s to find themselves losing a half-yard of acceleration ...

They tried that with the Stellenbosch law variations and they were a disaster. Are the IRB going to allow side entries, high tackles, unbound ruck entries, boring in at the scrum and lying on the wrong side of the ruck to satisfy the Kiwis? Tbf, the All Blacks have historically struggled under the ...

Yes. I reckon a lot of the old legends are overrated. If you watch the amateur days the games are shockingly bad and a lots of the legends are borne out of a handful of good plays with most of time being average. Sure you can't compare eras but what I mean is Warburton too can be regarded as a lege...

Easily the 2007 WC. Arrogant I know, but I still believe ABs were the best team there. Hypothetically speaking, a best of 3 format, each under a different referee, would have seen them take the cup home. 1995 WC - A tough loss but going into the WC we were underdogs and the Springboks were a great a...

A point. For those suggesting it was close to the BOD incident, you're wholly wrong and here is why. These things are, by design and by the laws, outcome judged . Ergo, swing a punch and miss has the same intent as swinging a punch and connecting and breaking a jaw. One gets a bollocking, the other...

A lot of it comes down to implicit racial bias. People struggle with Itoje clapping because they don't like black men being demonstrative. The first rule any black man growing up in Western society learns is: Be calm - don't ever lose your temper or be emotional, because most white people can't han...

There isn't a great deal to do in some cities in NZ. They were playing provinces so they were staying in places like Invercargill, New Plymouth and Palmerston North! Not many NZers would like to spend a week in those 3 places! It won't be as provincial this time as nearly all the games are in major...

Strange trolling, even for you AC. The Lions series can't come soon enough. Why? I have made no secret of my disdain for the SARU. Keeping in mind that this was an organisation that gleefully embraced Apartheid just a few short decades ago, and refused to allow our Polynesian and Maori players to t...

They're not going to piss around putting locks at 8 or opensides at 6. It'll be 8 Read, 7 Cane and 6 Kaino/Squire/Luatua. I was pleasantly surprised at the way Messam stepped up while Kaino was in Japan for a couple of years, but imo his time in the test squad has probably passed. Agreed, I can't s...

Justice for Marius Roodt (alas there will be none): Earlier this week, the gullible Huffington Post fell victim to a hoax article calling for white men to be stripped of their voting rights. The site became the subject of widespread derision and condemnation after HuffPost editors stood up to defen...

The Huffington Post endorsed the article - published it, defended it, it was representative of their views.
Then they discovered the race and gender of the author and suddenly it's all bad.
Marius Roodt held up a mirror and they didn't like the bigoted hypocrisy they saw.

Oh look, the Taranaki fans are circling the wagons around Barrett. Apparently he's the bestest no.10 NZ has ever had. Next they'll be trying to argue that Jordie Barrett is the best fullback we've ever produced. Oh look, here's old octopus-humper dribbling in his gin & tonic again. I'm a Taranaki f...

Jeez, some people have short memories, comparing outrageous genius, how can you go past Carter and the 2005 Lions? If Barrett can emulate against the Lions this year, then we're getting on the same page, but I would still have my doubts. Barrett strikes me as being too dependent on his acceleration ...

I agree that Creevy is excellent but I don't think he bests Dane Coles in any facet and I take your point about tight exchanges being important, but on modern dry hard pitches they are less of factor and with Coles ability to adapt, I am sure that if that was a big part of the game he would excel a...

Why do people (mainly NHers) think Franks should be cited even though the citing officer has seen the footage and decided it didn't meet the Red Card threshold?

Sorry, a whole paragraph wasn't intended to be too much for you to read. We still have a long way to go before we even approach the screeds written about Frank's though. The steadfast refusal to even acknowledge the petulant display by Coleman, or how he disgraced the Wallaby jersey really is indic...

"I'm not sure why. But there was a time there in the game, in a break in play (against the All Blacks), when the national captain of Australia is asking the referee 'when might be an opportunity for me to talk to you' and he absolutely ignored him," Cheika said. I think that's a valid point. Moore ...

He did have a pretty amazing one in a BaaBaas game a few years back. Mowed Habana now, got back up and then chased Jerry Collins down as well. Anyway, this whole thing is stupid. Pocock clearly isn't as good as McCaw was, and it's looking like the game is starting to move past him. Five turnovers o...

Erm ... I think the only people that though Richie McCaw was the all-powerful God and Creator of the NZ rugby universe are actually Kiwis. Aussie have long hold the belief that Pocock is the better player - at-least towards the end of Richie's career, and before that George Smith was at-least equal...

Apparently for the device to be detected it needs to be operational and the battery only lasts a few weeks so it becomes more likely that the ABs were the target.
