Oh, so he’s a match winner that’s yet to win a match? Potentially he’s a match winner - I think you could say that about anyone and he just as accurate. He’s played 33 tests - how many until he snares us a win? I’m not saying he’s shit, but he hasn’t achieved much and I can’t imagine he’ll start so...

When is the Argies' warmup game? Give some uncapped Wobs squad guys like Hosea and Lolesio a hit out. For Bled III, Toomua should be rested. I'd be tempted to put JOC at 12 and have Brumbie halves: 10. Lolesio; 9.White/Powell The pack in Bled II weren't good enough ... some changes + try some new b...

All we need is Hunter Biden to tell us they’re fake. Seems simple. Why? Are you so easily distracted? Why is it you guys want to talk about the kids anyway? Is it a strategy to drag Biden into the gutter where you all live? Trump’s family are not good citizens, yet Biden is staying on the high road...

Hopefully Petaia can string a few more games like that off the bench, to prove to you guys that he’s worthy of a spot in that backline.

The good news is, Russia aren’t trying to influence this election. The bad news is, they’re just sitting back and letting the right wing of the US media do it for them. https://www.businessinsider.com/spies-hunter-biden-emails-trump-giuliani-vulnerable-russian-intelligence-2020-10?fbclid=IwAR2sr4Bm...

Donald Trump was a great Opposition candidate but is struggling as the incumbent President. He is great at criticising, but weak at being constructive. He;s a wrecker not a builder. He wasn't even a great opposition candidate. He was, even then, a popularist liar, a self-obsessed narcissist and a v...

Well done to NZ. Just smashed us. Had such influence over us, that even when you went to sleep for 20 mins, we happily joined you for a nap. Enjoy the win.

McCaw, McCaw, McCaw. There is daylight between him and the rest in this time period. He retired in 2015 and his best years were Before 2010. How can you say that he was Daylight ahead of anyone else from 2010-2020? It's simply not true. You guys are so desperate for Richie to win a Little online po...

Beauden Barrett for me. More exceptional moments than anyone else in the last decade. McCaw and carter toss up for the previous decade For me it’s not about exceptional moments -it’s about the players influence on the game - winning the game for their team On that basis mccaw is light years ahead o...

Who was player of the 2000-2010? Lynagh?

towny

Of this list I would say it’s comfortably Retallick. But unfair to Carter and McCaw, as good as they were in the 2010’s, they played better in the previous decade.

Don't want to brag, but I used to sleep for Days/weeks in the bush among the Casowaries. Big whoop. I'm Australian and we just got on with it. There was probably some snakes and crocs too - not that I gave a f*ck. Saw some tiger claw marks at head height in a tree on a trip up North. Slept like a ba...

New Zealand had some pretty cool birds - the Moa was badass - but they got rid of them all. Ow they have a fat parrot that can’t fly and you use a glorified bin chook as your national bird. On the other hand we have both physcho birds like the cassowary, a majestic wedge tail eagle, a bird that win...

This is neither here nor there, but I think I've posted this image on every Australian rugby match thread for the past decade so I don't want to break tradition. The point, if you missed it the first 800 times, is that we're not only a sporting nation, but our birds are hotter than yours too. https...

No Retalick this time. He's always turned it on at Eden Park on the return match. His loss is massive. Imo, he’s the best player of the decade and the best lock I’ve seen. I didn’t think the kiwis would win the REC as soon as he did his shoulder. Has been the difference between the sides many times...

I am buzzing. This feels like the early 90s again. Proper Bledisloe stuff. fudge yeah!!! Its not just the result. I think. We’ve rattled the ABs before briefly before being blown away. But it’s a new generation - feels like all bets are off. Even after the game seeing the players share a chat. 👍

Ned played well in a largely disappointing Tahs team. I think a lot of Aussie posters have a problem with him becaues he is prettier than they are. And their girlfriend. Ned is a good player, he's fast to the breakdown, good in the lineouts, and players with a lot of heart and big motor. He is stil...

Looks like Rennie is opting for a, "peform or you will be dropped immediately", approach. That is interesting and a little surprising. I would have guessed, and preferred that he gave them a chance or two. In any case, at least he hasn't dropped guys like Paisami, who played well, just to make room...
