It was quite important and central to your crowd argument 15 minutes ago. And now it isn't. Funny that. What argument? I made a passing comment and now you're obsessing over it. As is your wont. Still, I don't blame you for being so aggressive. If my team was coming dead last in the S15, I would be...

a franchise encompassing the entire South Island? The crusaders playing in scenic queens town as a certain appeal I suppose... I'd be happy for the Crusaders to play a pre-season game in Queenstown every 2nd or 3rd year if that's what it took to secure the entire South Island as our catchment. Exac...

wasn't there some promotion on last night where lots of tickets were given away? Was there? Either there was or there wasn't. You tell us. And the worst crowd at Dunedin this season has been about 11,500. Chiefs game here got 19,000, and the others have been around 14,000-15,000. That's interesting...

Dunedinites have been voting with their feet for years now. They certainly voted with their feet last night. Only 18,500 turned up. What an awful effort for a city of 120,000. Credit where credit is due that is a great effort, but hardly the norm over the past 3-4 years. Also wasn't there some prom...

That would be what? A third to half of NZ's population base?

The Naki doesn't have the population base on it's own, neither does HB, and you're the one who has been complaining about the Naki being the Real Madrid of NZ rugby (which is hilarious coming from a Crusaders fan), suggesting that the Naki doesn't have an endless supply of talent. The naki has mone...

Great idea it's time the weakest talent wise and financially Highlanders went. In reality there are too many teams in S15 it should be S11 or S12 to keep the Aussies happy. New Zealand 4 teams dropping the Highlanders and Nelson to Hurricanes. South Africa has always had a weak 5th team they should...

While one franchise has the better team, the other has the better grounds. Logically, if the franchises were to merge, it should be under the Crusaders label, but the team should be based at the Forsyth Barr Stadium. Dunedinites have been voting with their feet for years now. They no longer want or...

Also, since they've had the new stadium the Highlanders crowds have been pretty good, especially in light of their poor performances this year. Crowds are declining, and the team is losing money. It's two host unions are financially crippled, completely reliant on NZRU loans and community grants to...

Excellent idea, rugby is on the wan through the central Heartland of the North Island from what I can see and hear. A combined Naki/Poo/Magpies franchise might re-invigorate things ... I don't like the idea of a combined franchise. Surely the NZRU has learned from past mistakes that contrived amalg...

I agree that the Highlanders should not expect to enjoy franchise status indefinitely. Especially when they are struggling both on and off the field. However your idea to split the South Island between the Canes and the Crusaders is possibly the stupidest idea ever expressed on this forum. The Crus...

Or at the very least forcibly merged into the Crusaders? Against their will if needed. Apparently Taranaki have been desperate to host a S15 franchise for years.

Carter's display last night against the Highlanders was the best individual performance form a Kiwi no.10 so far this year. Certainly it was better than anything we've seen from Noakes so far in 2013

Over 95% of rapes are committed by someone known to the victim.

The reality is that in Australia women are more at risk of being raped by a male 'friend' offering to escort them home than they are of being randomly attacked in the street.

Ali's Choice

That's ridiculous wamberal. Thousands of women walk alone at night in Australia every night. This was just very unlucky, and to somehow lay the blame at the feet of her friends is just ridiculous.

I've been a vocal critic of Carter's S15 form over the past few years. But there is no way I'd swap him for either cruden or noakes.
