By the time Will hangs up his boots he'll be in the conversation as one of the greats to put on the #15 jersey Agreed, his ceiling is up there with Cullen. Completely different players so hard to judge. I'd describe Jordan as having a touch of class but more conventional whereas Cullen was in freak...

Few pints with Ted, Sprig, Gordon Bennett and Ted's mate. Solid outing.

The way the All Blacks were trying to run up the score with the clock in the red was appalling sportsmanship. Kiwi teams routinely do this, and when I call them out the simpimg kiwi posters cry about points difference. No points difference in a semi final when you're up by 50 points. Just a bunch o...

While South Canterbury have generally been in the upper half of the Heartland Championship, this unbeaten streak deserves full respect. Bear in mind that Nigel Walsh was with North Otago prior to this, so clearly the cattle (and them responding to him) is the difference.

Is this a near and far lesson?

Just for clarity, I'm more than OK with Baylands.

Ghost-Of-Nepia

It appears so.

Ghost-Of-Nepia

I'll get myself there. Have a few things to do today before getting there. Thanks for the offer though.

Ghost-Of-Nepia

I'll probably just jump on a bus from Hutt Central so I'm not worried either way

Ghost-Of-Nepia

I'll pop down to Baylands or Gear St Union or whatever on late Saturday afternoon for a couple.

I know that but when does the "caretaker" bit officially start? Basically immediately after an election when a new Govt is yet to be formed. There's a widespread misunderstanding that after Parliament is dissolved, 6 weeks or so out from an election, caretaker mode kicks in, but that's not correct.

Under Luxon, it's 100%.
Nope - Chippy is still PM

Chippy is PM of a caretaker Government. Much like Foster is just the caretaker coach until Razor takes over....

So, who can make Petone on the evening of the 21st October?

I'm a chance.

The ‘89 tour was the one featured in “The Good, The Bad and The Rugby”. Sadly no wedding footage but many may enjoy the clip when the team arrived in Ireland and the comments from Micky Quinn (1:07:15 to about 1:08:30). https://youtu.be/PsWCCoRYcIA?si=D1kMnqWxzKNUKAl2 Looks an interesting docu.

Rest of game he was pretty even, but that last passage was bent as hell

Righto.
