I was at Vic as an "adult" student in the early 2000s . Interestingly we had a couple of kaumatua in Heretaunga called Old Dave Stone and Young Dave Stone, but when I was in my teens Young Dave Stone was pretty old. I wonder if David is from the same whanau? Maybe he's Young Young Dave Stone. So wa...

Anyone else feel like since Ardie is not playing this year, the Canes backrow now have more of a traditional balanced look about them? We currently have a 7 who plays 7, a 6 who plays 6 and an 8 who plays 8? Hmm.. I'm currently undecided about who between Lakai or Kirifi should be starting and who ...

What a sad thing to read about.

I remember visiting Bondi Junction for the first time 25+ years ago. Nice place.

Chiefs are gonna win this one I feel. Hurricanes haven't lost a game all season they are due a loss whereas the Chiefs are more battle hardened and will be implementing the 'learings' of the Crusaders and Reds losses. They have a few points to prove and are going to want it more than these flashy C...

That was a good game. Tough and well fought. The Canes bench was too strong for the Chiefs bench. Canes were relentless. A couple of dodgy contacts were concerning. I feel like we haven't learnt a lot after lax officiating in last year's Super Rugby - ultimately leading to one player being yellowed...

He obviously knows his better team better than I do. He might also be able to explain why the Chiefs might be tiring.

He's been playing well all year. Not just the flashy stuff in open play which gets the most attention, but more importantly his core roles as well.

If the Hurricanes want to keep dropping the ball, this is what you get. It's probably been the worst 20 minutes I've seen the Hurricanes play in any game this year. You can't do that against the Chiefs.

I used to like Proctor, but he’s making too many errors this season.

Tehui

The Canes have a got some defensive problems they need to address, which the commentators have just commented on. There's been too many players coming out of the line in the number 1 channel which has bit them on the ass. For the Chiefs, they need to try and quicker ball. We haven't seen the best of...

You have to hand it to the Chiefs, they manage to make the most out of their opportunities when they’re in the red zone.

The Canes’ finally get points for their advantage in the scrum.

Where is Alex Fidow these days? I remember seeing most of the Hurricanes side coming through the representative age grade sides since college, and he was one of those players.

In regards to where I've been positioned on the political spectrum throughout my life, I most certainly grew up in the Left household, slowly transitioned to the right when I studied economics, and have wavered back and forth across the center area for most of my life.

Initially, I did not. But after hearing the evidence presented in the podcast series a few years ago, I have little reason to doubt now that it was him.

If you had looked at those photos you would have seen Ron Goldman (a stong guy trained in self defense) had extensive marks on his knuckles and hands not from knife wounds but from striking the assailant.

On the journalists swallowing their bias and doing the job. I think the perfect example is Hosking, every election there was a storm about him hosting debates, and every year he was absolutely fine and shelved his ZB shock persona Maybe Hosking should become a PR moderator and take care of the craz...

Finau is a bit of a monster, and was close to a World Cup spot. Shields is the right man to contain him. Sititi is very green but Jacobson has experience to burn . The Chiefs loosies are big boys, but the Canes might have a speed edge at the breakdown and a bit more success around the fringes. A Ca...

Why am I not surprised you found that entertaining. You're definitely have a trend

I like visual storytelling that emphasises a particular point, but in this case it was the snappy one liner that did it for me.

Lemmie guess you think it favours the left ? Which is extremely strange given the objections of both ACT and NZ First especially. Both sides accuse it of bias , which frankly is how it should be .

It's almost like tax cuts has become the primary economic goal of government, ahead of lowering inflation or encouraging sustainable growth in the NZ economy.

This song always evokes memories from my childhood even though I wasn't even alive when this song came out. California Dreaming is another song that does that.
