I can see Foster being removed by NZR if we lose next week or have a disastrous RC. I don't think they are as conservative or wimpy as people seem to suggest. Robertson is still around and he and Schmidt could easily step in at a moments notice. I certainly hope so but they've seemed quite incompet...

Kieran Read just got stuck into Ian Foster picking "our three best 7's as the loose trio". He says the balance is out. What would Kieran Read know about loose forward play? Pakia Pakia has assured that the Papalii will be great because he's only a few cm shorter than most locks, and puku says we wi...

Perilous Fozzy I'd say secure as a safe house until the RWC. Despite the board roasting him, he has still won the RC twice and has a strong win percentage with an inferior All Blacks team. I was more hopeful than realistic, the NZRU bored will not want people to think they are shortsighted or dipsh...

Link? I’ve looked and looked and found nothing I saw it too. Yep PP but I think perhaps you should look when article was published, like at the end of March when Sam was injuerd, not a new post. :lol: :uhoh: ;) On another note, I not sure that Matera will be out of final, I believe the guidelines a...

I heard then name MacKenzie and I had no idea who he was.

There's a few players out there I don't think I have heard of.

Why do kiwis feel the need to say it’s a b team? It’s not a b team it is the strongest team the blues can play. Every team deals with player management through the season. Poor comment from a poor poster. What? It is clearly not the strongest team the Blues can play. It's very much a B team with 4 ...

Brumbies look like they have an eye on the quarters already.
They look like they would rather play the Canes than the Reds or Tahs.

It seems a lot of Amber Haeards testamony was accepted because she donated the 7 million or whatever over domestic abuse. It turns out she didn't, lied and technically won by perjury. Also a lot of the evidence here wasn't used for some reason. That seems a bit much. Depp was suing over being calle...

Classic case of Haggards law

Imay have been a bit harsh. Cawthorn is a nutter but apparently he isn't known for homophobia. I kind of just assumed he was.

She said Depp pushed a liquor bottle up her fanny. Now, how can that be proved given she didn't complain of any injury at the time, or saw a physician and it happened years ago? I imagine like most claims of family violence it can't be 'proven'. The judge or jury simply has to assess who they belie...

Is it strange that I feel far more sympathy and compassion for you than either Depp or Heard? I was talking with a colleague of mine today about this case and people with borderline personality disorder in general. We were of the same opinion that women with BPD are some of the craziest, nastiest a...

I haven't been following it all that closely. This sort of case is basically what I do for a living. Accusations of family violence are usually true but sometimes the person making the accusation is the abuser. Almost always there are two sides to the story.

Interesting, I can't for the life of me remember it but wasn't there a study that suggested boys who are physically abused in childhood grow up to not become a violent abuser. It's different if people are sexually abused though. But kids who were abused in childhood are more likely to be victims of...

Did he change the call? I mean, a mail is great until it’s turned over. Then there is no advantage. He called maul. It was held up then he said it was not releasing. If it wasnt releasing he should not have allowed the maul Why not? I thought he was playing advantage. He should have been but he was...

Line breaks, territory, offloads....all Reds that half. Not happy if I'm on the Canes staff and I reckon they will sort this out for the second half. I see the Canes putting it together and playing some of their offense in the next 40. Frankly, they have to get better because there isn't much room ...

1 question. Was the TMO trying to talk the ref out of a red card early on?? "Hang on Nic - I have one more angle for you" :shock: ;) Yes he was. I think it is a good example why the referee and the TMO should be able to speak in private. The problem with them communicating for all to see is that th...

David Kirk's was pretty good.

Not a biography but The Rugby War was a great read about the advent of professionalism back in 1995.

I don’t understand why she should be shamed. Do we shame advertisers for wanting to be paid for running an advertisement? She contacted the place to see if they wanted a business deal.

I wouldn't pay attention to anything an influencer said about a product. However there is nothing wrong per se with someone offering advertising in return for payment. That payment can be in kind or cash. She shouldn't be shamed for this. This seems like the sort of story that is designed to make pe...

Well this thread is a interesting read from the start. Some people need to learn gullible is in the dictionary. Guy is a piece of shit and beyond redeemable at this stage.

He had an open line, clearly he had obtained advantage.
My view too. Advantage law needs looking at.

That decision suggests that for a PK in the 22m, advantage can never be over unless a try is scored.

That cannot be right.

Man I switched off with 20 minutes to go (fatherhood responsibilities) and didn't pause it like I normally would to watch later. I can hardly believe the Hurricanes won that. I gave them no chance.
