Re: Should the Highlanders be dismantled?
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...

Re: Should the Highlanders be dismantled?
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...

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.

Re: Should the Highlanders be dismantled?
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.

Re: Should the Highlanders be dismantled?
While one franchise has the better team, the other has the better grounds.

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 ...

Re: Missing Irish Woman in Melbourne- RIP Jill Meagher
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.
