Re: NZ Politics Thread

Well, during the Ardern era, we often heard Booji's dislike of Ardern on this thread, seemingly due to her personality rather than anything else. Ahem ... nothing to do with her personality. I have nothing against her personality wise. She seems a nice person. Her politics and leadership style is w...

For the sake of the dolphins, I would strongly support moving the event to Queenstown. Of course, along with any related financial benefits, but mainly for the dolphins. What about the trout fishery? If it's anywhere near the spawning season I demand that racing be delayed, postponed or cancelled.

The answer clearly depends on who beat the All Blacks the most. Guscott - 1993: Eng x1, Lions x1 Tuilagi - 2012: Eng x1, 2019: Eng x1 It’s a draw. However, the quality of Tuilagi’s performances in those wins puts him well clear of Guscott. In RWC 1995 in the semifinal loss to NZ Jonah Lomu gets all...
