Re: Is this the end of the road for Beauden Barrett?
His biggest mistake was going to the Blues. He was a cult figure in the Hurricanes, and was in a franchise that supported and encouraged him. He never fully seemed to settle in Auckland. No idea why he thought it was a good idea. However we've uncovered a couple of great prospects and an older head...

Re: All Blacks 2023
I don’t like Ennor at all - but I thought he was very good tonight. For me ScoBa was pick of Saders ABs but Taylor/RMO/Jordan and Leicester were excellent and Goodhue solid. Poor from the Auckland All Blacks - not one of them played well (maybe Stephen P who I guess is an All Black). Akira / Dalton...

Re: U.S. politics thread and Joe Biden-the Ronan O'Gara of U.S. Presidents
The judge 'randomly' selected could prove a real cannon blow to the prosecution. Not likely in getting the case thrown out, but allowing shit loads of time for discovery, pushing back hearings, slow walking various stages, maybe even excluding some of the more damning evidence. At the very least it...

Jager starting at 3 and Blackadder back for the quarter final, albeit from the bench. Drummond and Heinz also back in the squad. Still no Sam Whitelock though.

Re: Whitelock goooooooone! To Pau
Reminds me a lot of Richard Hill mk II. Not the biggest, not the fastest, sometimes people will beat him on work rate but he's more than decent there. What marks Whitelock out for me is the quality of his decision making, whether to join a ruck, how to join, whether to take a ball into contact, whe...

Re: Whitelock goooooooone! To Pau
As a Crusaders and All Blacks fan, I've had the pleasure of following a number of elite players at SR and test level over the last two decades. Players like Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Owen Franks, Kieran Read etc. All time greats. I'd say that Sam Whitelock is my favourite player of all time, and su...

Re: SRP - Highlander v Reds – 7.05pm, Friday 26 May, Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin
Can't we be anti Frizell and anti Swain? Sure. I imagine we'll see hundreds of frothing anti frizzell posts from Kiwis then. There's a number of anti Frizell posts from Kiwis in this very thread. I so badly want Blackadder or even SBarrett to lock down the 6 position so we can get rid of Frizell.

Filthy offside? Wot? = angry with the ref, as it was a harsh card. You reckon? Off his feet + in from the side to kill a linebreak.
