Weird sky here (and in Auckland) right now - we turned our lights on at 5.30pm This is Auckland https://resources.stuff.co.nz/content/dam/images/1/y/l/y/4/u/image.related.StuffLandscapeSixteenByNine.1240x700.1ylvf7.png/1578199249922.jpg This is Aucklanders The haze was so bad that a "high number" o...

Just watched it this afternoon at The Roxy cinema in Mirimar here in Wellington. Was really good. Could have been edited down a bit. Am glad I saw it in cinema as would be hard watching on a small tv screen. The last half hour dragged a bit. The acting was really good. I did like some of the Scorses...

Is it worth a watch?

Casino was good, just doesn't stack up to GoodFellas imo.

My fav scene in Casino is the burial scene where in a role reversal Frank Vincent's character whacks Pesci's character...

Agree. Is just a logo, looks lame compared to oid one but will get used to it. Am glad they not rebranding the Hurricanes (climate change etc)...

Hopefully also we will have new players hardly heard of yet come through by next world cup, next couple super rugby seasons will be interesting watch...

Yes the real final was last week between Sth Africa and Wales...

jamesfreeman

Well done South Africa. 3 World Cup wins, equal with the All Blacks, the 2 giants of world rugby...

A post mortem requires a body. The All Blacks are not dead, if last nights game is anything to go by. I was thinking about results in RWC tournaments. The All Blacks, in 9 appearances, have 3 golds, one silver and 3 bronze. England have one gold, two silvers, and have never won the bronze medal. Wi...

Would be same result as if they had played them in pool play ie a thrashing...

Out of respect for Curry, I put the Warriors at 8th in my WC standings. That is looking very, very generous right now. They are currently getting murdered by the Thunder after getting murdered by the Clips. They are comically bad. I'll take this win, even though I'm in full on tank mode. Back to th...

There can be no doubt that the litmus test on the selections is, would Steve Hansen change anything in hindsight, and the answer is probably yes. I continue to not understand why we changed? Why we had to reinvent the wheel? And, in spite of Hansen's indignation in the press conference, head-space ...

ABs gone which irritating still but we still have good rugby to watch, no not the 3/4 game (the game that no one wants) though but tonight and the final...

jamesfreeman

Thankfully for me as a basketball fan a long NBA season kicked off last week and have some cricket and super rugby to look forward to also. And next season will be eye opener to where ABs are at...

jamesfreeman

Well done England. One of their best displays I ever seen and not one of the boring England teams of old. Would have liked ABs to have one but to lose to that team is not gutting at all. Is good for rugby and sport so good luck to them next week...

I'm a sucker for all things star wars, originals, prequels , sequels and in between but feel they haven't handled sequels very well. Fingers crossed Episode 9 actually ties it all together or will be big disappointment. When I came out of The Last Jedi one of my friends asked me what I thought of it...

Zion out the first few weeks of the season with a knee injury. He seems to be too heavy to be that explosive. He’s a bit like Blake Griffin in som ways and he has had numerous injury problems. Watching Zion play reminds me of Barkley. Sir Charles used to look like a fatty but would bounce all aroun...

Tight game in which no score would surprise. You can imagine England whacking the AB like they did in 2012, or you can imagine the AB taking England to the cleaners like they did to the Irish today, or a game that could end up going to extra time and a count back is done and a win to the team that ...

Where is that FOG? The Sign of the Takahe up the Port Hills. I grew up right over the road so that and Cracroft Reserve behind it were my playground.

So many emotions. My head tells me that New Zealand will win a hard-fought game by maybe 7-10 points, but I then remind myself that there's absolutely every reason to be confident we'll show up tomorrow and beat them, only to be immediately brought crashing back down to earth with the reality that ...

Clinton may have a point, certainly in Wisconsin, re the Jill Stein vote and Russian interference. However, you get what you sow, or don't sow in this case, and her lack of campaigning in that state ultimately cost her not Jill Stein. I do wish she would disappear into the background though. Move t...

Be funny as hell if Ireland missed out on making the RWC semi-finals yet again. The Irish curse is strong. Not as funny as little old Ireland beating the mouthy All Blacks. M2 you will probably be shocked to discover for many Kiwis if Ireland won we would be supporting them through the semis and fi...

Am glad the hysteria has died down as it had little substance to begin with. Cant wait till natural order of things resume with the quarter finals and we can all put pool play behind us.

jamesfreeman

They still have to win it first. I will be backing black as usual but if they dont win I wont mind it too much. People here need to get over them selves a bit. It couldn't be any worse than the cricket world cup final result, but it is sport and sometimes weird things happen. World Rugby are the one...

Gutted for Italy, just a terterrible anti climactic way to end the tournament. The first team in history to not lose in a pool game with NZ, its a great day for Italian rugby. So New Zealand has drawn a Test Match with Italy? Only marginally better than losing to them. 2 draws and 2 World Cups with...
