Re: Is SR season too short?
Finishes just in time for June internationals (I hate it when the comp takes a break for the month) and then Domestic Rugby. Don't touch it. There's the financial aspect too. You need more games/content in order to get a bigger TV deal and generate more revenue. Sponsors, tv networks, fans are not ...

Re: Super Rugby Semi-final. Chiefs Vs Brumbies
What an absolute farce. Possibly the dumbest thing in SR in its history. I have never heard of a finals format that sees no negative consequences to a team losing, yet here we are. They scheduled a finals game that meant less to a team than any of the regular season games. Morons run this show. Eve...

Re: That fat f**k Turunui at it again.
On another less-serious note, I would just like to point out that Morgan's Māori surname is Turinui, not Turunui. I don't know the origin of his surname, but a literal translation of 'turinui' would be 'big knee'. A literal translation of 'turunui' would be 'big chair'. Somebody else in this thread...

Re: NZ Politics Thread
To a degree it depends on circumstances. Anyone can generally be filmed in public, or from a public place, with some exceptions. So, if he was on the street filming, then my understanding is he might be okay. Audio recordings he's absolutely fine as there's no need in NZ to have 2 party consent. Di...

Re: That fat f**k Turunui at it again.
Say what you want about Turunui, and a lot of it is fair, but at least he's a totally impartial commentator - often to a fault - and extremely knowledgeable. It's more than can be said for most. Was also an excellent player in his day, arguably the world's best center for a little while there. He p...

I agree mate. Mo'unga would have battled off the arsenic poisoning and slotted a droppie in normal time to win in 95. Wasn't from Otago so not selected I guess. In 1999 he would have covered for Wilson being out of position so often - actually, that's probably realistic considering how much he gets...

Re: SRP Qualifying final - Chiefs v Blues - Hamilton - 7 June
Although this game is 1 v 6, the Blues winning would not be as much of an upset as those numbers might suggest. Travel is not really a factor. 2 hours by bus is nothing. These teams seem evenly matched on paper. The Chiefs are playing better footy, but if the Blues sort themselves out, they have th...
