Well they certainly didn’t look it last weekend . Matching the bomb squad ( embarrassing name ) with our bench coming in at the same time or very soon after will blunt their impact seriously. Watch Williams develop into the world best prop . The kid is 22 ffs ! Apart from the first 20, I thought th...

How did I miss that?????
I really don’t know towny. Slipping up.

Maybe because they all play the same sport contrary to the thread title?

Noone would argue with Chris Mene that is for sure.

Bernice Mene, former NZ netball representative & captain (and an absolute mean defender), had parents who represented NZ in athletics (decathlon and discus). https://www.olympic.org.nz/assets/Uploads/mene-primary__FocusFillWzQ2OCw0NjgsInkiLDBd.jpg Her brother also represented NZ in the discuss

Yes. That said, Eddie is clearly rotating some players in and out of his squad. It’s an interesting one, Tom has his weaknesses but he would be a great bench option to cover back three with Mark N and Korebeite on the wings and Kelleway at 15. Losing Ikitau means we are short on experience in the b...

Is the Bled the most one-side piece of silverware in Rugby in the pro-era? At first I thought maybe some random trophy Italy competed for in the 6N. After a bit of googling, I found Italy and France compete for the "Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy". But Italy last won that in 2013. Australia last won the...

Is Scott Barrett the front runner for international player of the year? He has been immense since the start of super rugby.

Wonder how long before we see an 8 footer running around Unlikely. There are something like 3 people alive who are 8 feet tall. Then they have to actually be athletic enough and skillful enough to be in the league. That's probably what we would've said about a 7"4 guy 30 yrs ago. Ralph Samson - 7'4...

I have been on holiday for 12 weeks. Drove around the outback. Flew to WA and swam with whale sharks. Now having a weeks skiing to round it off.

Shrekles

Maybe it's been mentioned? But the big turning point for me was the disallowing of the Chief's try which would have put them 10 or 12 points ahead? McKenzie creeping ahead of the 10m line could easily have been missed and Chiefs were two scores ahead with not that long to go... fine margins. Then w...

I think it is better to ask which of the titles was the best. This one for me - we had no business winning this year but still managed it.

Plenty of rugby fans seem to be yearning for this. I was being sarcastic. I feel bad for Carl Hayman but that's the risk you take by playing. I honestly think he's just after a pay day. He deserves one and based on NFL settlements Rugby NZ need to be doing much better than saying “it’s too early to...

God I love this team - they always step up and surprise me , even when I’m doubtful .

Gooooooo Crusaders

Lets hope he can transplant a similar culture to the All Blacks

Really impressed with how Murray & the rest responded when Jokic had to go out with that 5th foul (and 3 straight BS calls that looked like Scott "The Extender" Foster was in his bag). They refused to let Miami come back. The shame is that with the new CBA rules it's gonna be really hard to keep th...

I'm genuinely annoyed about the 6 day turnaround. What's the advantage of finishing second if your opponent gets an extra day's rest? Why not just play both semis on Saturday and give one an earlier kickoff? A full week's turnaround should be standard come playoff time. I genuinely think suck it up...

Le Bron is one of the greatest players I have ever seen but he is the one trying to claim he is the GOAT when it is clear that he is not.

Heat v Nuggets baby.

The Celtics are showing the weakness of individual offense against a brilliantly coached team.

What was Jordan doing at the same age? Playing for fun in between cigars. Not sure what age has to do with being the greatest player or not. Excuses. Without Scottie he was nothing. Have a look at game 6 98 finals again. Scottie injured his back in the opening minutes and Jordan willed his team ove...

Nuggets 2-0 ahead of Lakers. That failed dunk by Lebron :lol: About 50 secs in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OnupGr4Qa4 Jokic with 5 straight Triple Doubles in the post season. Already 3rd on the post seaosn list. It is plays like that that show he is nowhere near the same status as Jordan. Als...

Also worth noting, while Scoot Henderson is a great prospect and in many years would be a clear #1 pick, the Hornets have now had the second pick in the drafts that featured 3 generational talents - Shaq, Anthony Davis and now Wembanyama. (Well, it was the team from Charlotte anyway, if not actuall...

I hardly think they were getting swarmed by 109s.
