Why was it not considered a shoulder charge into the ruck by the Chiefs 4?I didn't see much of an attempt to wrap the arms as he tried to dislodge the Blues backrow there.

Lawes off please. Not really his fault as he'd like to play lock, but he has been dreadful. Hask on. Average carrier, tits for hands, bit dim, but he hits rucks like he means it and no-one else does. Farrell has been poor and Ford pretty good today I think- which means Farrell will stay on and Ford...

This is the game where I officially lost faith in Eddie. He had two weeks to fix the very obvious problems from the Scotland game and instead the team has regressed terribly. Such an awful game. Scotland, despite all the times they made me swear at the TV for butchering every chance but one, at leas...

Sunwolves 15 was completely uninterested in making the tackle on a prop running at full tilt

SEAsianExpat

Sunwolves cannot score in a brothel right now. One execution error after another.

At least they finally got 3 points after all that hard work.

DTH vd Merwe was born in South Africa, so you have a point. It's clear discrimination against Canadian rugby peoplekind.

As a Canadian, I have absolutely no idea what he was trying to accomplish with that stunt. Maybe it did play well with Sikh voters. Maybe not. But it made him look a complete fool in everyone else's eyes. He's basically a well-meaning guy relying on daddy's name to help him out while trying too hard...

A jumpbuck at 150 meters ? Anyone stupid enough to attempt to shoot a jumpbuck at 150m with a shotgun probably shouldn't be allowed firearms either, especially if they think an extra five rounds would be of any use. The extra rounds might be of enormous use if the shotgun holder was a contestant in...

husky's look great but they're a demanding dog and not suitable for a lot of people Very true. We owned 4 of them including 3 at a time.

From the Sopranos... Janice, AJ, Meadow, her boyfriend Noah. There were plenty of unlikeable mobsters (especially Ralph and Ritchie) but I thought of them as evil rather than simply hateable if that makes sense. The same criteria applies to Marlo, the Greek, and Vondas in The Wire. Evil, not simply ...

I work from home as a freelance financial copywriter so my work is generally pretty varied and interesting. Writing is hard work (anyone who says different hasn't stared down the barrel of a 5,000 word sales letter with an impending deadline) but I can't complain about being able to set my own hours...

Along that line, I find the existence of Dickinson as a surname rather disturbing.

The intro for Starcraft : Broodwar was highly memorable (and grim) in the "war is hell" sense.

The Lost Boys
Rock of Ages

The Ice Pirates is the first one that came to mind for me. How can you not love kung-fu robots, Robert Ulrich and Mary Crosby, and a fast forward time warp climax that gives the main black character a grey afro the size of a beanbag chair? Edit : yeah, Big Trouble inLittle China is another excellent...

Rock of Ages

41% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I love virtually every song in it and thought the story was funny enough to hold it all together.

To whoever said The Princess Bride wasn't well loved: "Inconceivable!"

Sounds like Nick Evans would have been a better coaching appointment than Gatland and his shower of fellow imbeciles.

What exactly is the condensed version? Large number of highlights and replays, or condensed ball in play time type stuff? You see the entire match at high speed while the Yakety Sax theme from Benny Hill plays in the background . Or maybe it just seems that way during any games involving the Blues ...

I've been using it since the start of Super Rugby this year and it's been excellent overall.

Nah - you'd need a nutter with a gun - and they are all die hard Trumpists. Might see a growing interest in some states seceding from the Union e.g. California. That would be fun.

Two more to add to the pot....

Duterte wasnt an upset, it was clear he was going to win from the outset. He isnt part of the political elite though so maybe that is where the upset was?

England whitewashnig the Wallabies. First time that's happened to Oz in a three test series. A good point. At best I thought they'd go 2-1 or else lose 1-2. The whitewash was pretty significant. It seemed to destroy the Wallabies psychologically and they didn't recover until the final game of the RC.

Random one, but what was the bored's opinion on BioShock Infinite? BioShock 1 and 2 are up there as my favourite games of all time, but I really think Infinite was a missed opportunity.
