I don't need to. I'll take the word of 4 Lions tests over yours any day of the week. Well you're a muppet. I wouldn't take the word of Scott Barrett on matters concerning the Anglo-Welsh Cup. Grow up. You can't argue with guys that have been there and done it. And your analogy proves your stupidity...

I don't need to. I'll take the word of 4 Lions tests over yours any day of the week. Jake there's no way a NZ maori team is a NZ A team, they are always relatively weak up front compared to what a NZ A team could put together. Byrne is talking up that team cause they lost, and should've won. It was...

I know the NZ Maori are strong and often thrash touring sides. And the Crusaders were full strength. So no I wasn't saying that all that we know of the Lions Test team makes them week, I'm saying it makes them quite impressive. It's just whether they'll be able to control things in the huge step up...

Big shock to me is Read has moved to Counties?! Wonder if there's a sniff of a move to the Blues. You know you want to Kieran. Come home bro. Come home. Aren't Counties considered a Chiefs province (not that it matters these days with individual contracts) Counties is part of the Blues franchise, a...

Best bit about this test- NZ are now expecting a challenge and will be utterly relishing it. The public seem to rate and like this Lions side and more than anything, the average Kiwi fan demands to see the All Blacks tested hard and wants to see a real battle. The All Blacks will be delighted the L...

The homer ref gave them a number of opportunities to win in the closing stages and then overlooked red carding one of their players for thuggishness.

France are my favourite NH team but that statement is ridiculous, if they were better they would have two world cups.

Do you ever provide coffee for your clients when they visit (if you have them)? If that's the case then you probably should take your part in cleaning, if not then nope. Although, that will all be mitigated if you are a tea drinker and you drop your bags in the sink. In that case I'm on coffee clean...

Kiwis : Without having played a test yet the Kiwis are still in pole position (by far) to dominate. Dumb post, the ABs played a test match versus Samoa two days ago. Yeah I forgot about that... like most of the world You forgot because you're dumb. No need for that AC, everyone is entitled to an op...

Johnny McNicholl was an above average player at super rugby level but didn't immediately stand out at Pro 12 level. Saying that he is a champion now ;) :lol: Above average in NPC maybe, he never even got a mention in S14/S15 outside of being acknowledged as try scorer. Sure that is why a champion t...

TBF, that is probably the brownest team we've fielded in a long time.

I despair for young white halfbacks coming up in NZ, even the U20s have 3 Maori halfbacks.

Baby Blacks not only missing their two senior All Blacks but also props Tim Farrell and Ryan Coxon have been ruled out of the final with injury. But more importantly Player Of The Tournament nominee Tiaan Falcom also misses the final with concussion. So I guess this final will be a test of each nat...

Fuark, that England team looks very weak compared to what we could be putting out. Our best prop and inside centre injured as well? Will do well to keep the game competitive going in to the last quarter. Do white kids not play rugby in NZ anymore? Team looks like it's mostly Maori kids . Of course ...

Samoa, lots of NZers in their team. If the Cooks were any good they would be my second.

I dunno, doesn't there come a point where you just HAVE to be selected if your performances are consistently good? He's been pretty good really, but in an ocean full of good back three players. I thought for sure he'd have gotten a wing spot on an EOYT if he had another good season. I think he's un...

On a more serious note, in the last few seasons he's morphed into a bit of a Doug Howlett clone on attack and has a touch of the Nacewas with his kicking game. Minus a few frazzled performances he'll be a fan favourite up there. :thumbup: It also looked like he was under instructions to kick all th...

That was a similar performance to Mo'unga, but at least Mo'unga had the benefit of playing behind a Super/International tight five and not some Mitre 10 cup dudes. I guess the difference is that Mo'unga has had a brilliant couple of SR seasons at 10, and won three Mitre 10 Cup titles. Whereas Damia...

AC is right. Look at that Maori tight five and ask yourself how they could ever have expected to beat a near first choice Lions team. No chance. And especially not in a park with lots of dew. This game needed to be played in the afternoon or in Dunedin - on a dry track the Maori might have been abl...

1987, Napier, Tonga v Canada. RWC no.1

I can't remember who won but we supported Canada because they came to our rugby camp to talk to us and Tonga refused.

pfft. Can't get MOM for only playing good in 1 half.

You think Sam Cane only played good in one half? Same too ALB?

Which would be fine if J Barrett didn't have one of the worst tackling percentages in Super rugby.

Surely social media contributes negatively to some folks self esteem. Well it's a combination of things, but I do know NZ does have a macho culture that really needs to be toned down. Anyone that is slightly bookish or more interested in creative aspects tends to get a hard time. At least they did ...
