Re: All Blacks vs Wallabies @Melbourne (15th September) & Auckland (Saturday 24th)

Aaron Goiles status as a fully paid up member of the Beauden Barrett Reacharound Club is confirmed. Barrett contributes little but the few passes he did make are lauded and he gets rated a 7. Mounga distributes well all night but gets dinged for a few mistakes with a 6. Do one Goile. Barrett should...

Re: NZ Politics Thread

@jamesecook I saw a homeless guy and I felt bad for him. So I did what I think any of us would do - drove to a nearby affluent area, found the biggest, nicest house and put a tenner through their letter box. You mark my words, before long that money will trickle down to the homeless guy. I am sick ...

As long as Foster doesn’t fall into the trap of starting mounga again I’m happy. As we all agree, it was just one game.

Re: All Black squad selection thread

BB has always been a media favourite with everything he says being reported at length. They are probably hoping to reignite some BB vs mounga hatred for the clicks, that must have been some peak traffic for them. Not a lot of subplots got that level of attention.

Re: All Blacks. Just a slump? Or...

Agreed, NMS did not have an exceptional career and that confuses things when looking back. But in 2015 he was in peak form and did far better in the black jersey than Jordie ever has. I think Jordie has every chance of being a better career all black though. Edit: took too long to respond, obviously...

Well, it's true. I've never seen a loss where most kiwi fans say 'yeah we played well but were beaten by the better team' its always about a poor ABs performance.

Re: Scott Robertson: I want to coach the Lions

Warren Gatland may have been the best coach in 'easy rugby'. But he's just coached the Chiefs to a winless season in Super Rugby Aotearoa. They were genuinely pathetic, and an embarrasment to their fans and region. Robertson's team just happened to win that comp. Warran Gatland will be learning fro...
