If you don’t know, probably better to ask/google than make assumptions.

I see she has stated all National will vote no. She can’t possibly enforce that of course. It isn't a conscience vote. So yes, she pretty much can really. One or two could possibly cross the floor, but doubt it would happen for something as pointless as making it legal. It’s a referendum. She’ll ha...

Gerrard told the Herald that the key question was not about whether cannabis was good or bad, but whether the proposed legal framework would be better at reducing cannabis-related harm than the status quo. This is the key point that is swinging me towards yes. Especially with people getting crimina...

I don’t think anyone was making that argument...

If the blues win then their record is exactly the same as the crusaders. Asterisks incoming.

I expect a champion team to have a champion attitude. That means "man-shaming the Blues, prison-style". They can rest after the weekend and the new guys will get their chance, just not this weekend. Sign off in style, Crusaders. You can doooo iiiiiiiit. Don’t often agree with you but you’re on the ...

No, they are confirmed in 2nd place, with 22 pts against the Canes pn 21.
Ummm, the canes get points when they win?
Bookmarked.

Bring it on

The hurricanes can steal second if they win and the blues lose.

Oh come on - are you seriously suggesting a Crusaders B team will beat the Blues? The only thing playing a B team will achieve is a poor excuse for the Crusaders when the Blues kick ass :x More likely the Crusaders will field a B team because they are too scared the Blues will beat them if they pla...

How can you possibly know the highlanders wouldn’t have won without brown but could have without Joseph? Seems like a lot of supposition to me.

Wilderbeast

Call me old fashioned but I expect that the All Blacks to have one of the better squads going around so even if Robertson has spend a lot of time getting the best out of top talent, that’s a plus. Seeing how he would do with someone like Hawkes Bay might be more meaningful if he was considering a r...

Wilderbeast

Although, like Glaston, I still would like to see coaches like Razor etc, who're used to the best cattle, have a year or two with a crap team like Manawatu to see how they go at elevating an average squad. This Crusaders squad team isn't the strongest in the comp. Besides, he did that with Sumner, ...

America’s cup.

How can you cite japans success for placing Brown so high and have Jamie Joseph at 10?

Wilderbeast

Wasn't Deans equally fêted until he went abroad and bombed. Surely Robertson would have to go outside of NZ to 'prove' himself. Yes, though deans applied against Henry. Henry is a shitload better than Foster. That said, you’ve hit my single reservation about Robertson but as I said earlier, I’d sti...

Wilderbeast

I think it’s nothing more than an artificial barrier so the nzru can continue to pick their favourites.

Wilderbeast

Gatland is the most qualified to coach the all blacks. Qualifications aren’t everything. I’d rather take a punt on Robertson than risk losing him overseas. Who’s to say he would come back when the NZRU finally accepted him? How many overseas NZ coaches applied last year?

Wilderbeast

I think AC mentioned it earlier but I would have no qualms if Robertson sent a C team up to battle the blues. I mean it’s a nothing game really. Disagree. And Cantabs would not be forgetting as Razor is that at provincial level the Orc’s have been kicking ur asses. Time to set that correct, ...if u...

Jordie has started to show the goods this year. Don’t tar his name with foster plz. He has done well at Super level this year but I have heard on here that he’d need to do that at international level for us to judge him. Otherwise he’s just an arguably less talented Will Jordan with fewer titles ;-...

Wilderbeast

Harsh on Henry and generous on Brown is my initial assessment of that list.

Didn’t see the game, but didn’t Smith make some costly decisions?

Wilderbeast

Purely based on achievements, he’s no better than Robbie deans at super rugby level, and not in the conversation for international plaudits. Amusingly, if the world ended today, Gatland ranks higher. Fair enough. Using your rationale Robertson ranks below anyone who has ever coached at test level, ...

Do you feel that extends to never increasing the top rate beyond 33%?

Nothing to do with the top bracket. They are not pricks. Stop making it an us and then situation.

Wasn't that Ian Foster?

You’re right. Did he ever coach the chiefs? I’m sure he coached Waikato at some point.

Still possible for three teams to end the year with the same win/loss ratio I think? Still I don’t think anyone would argue the crusaders haven’t been the best team this year.

Congrats plums

As an aside, Samoa and Tonga have remained covid-19 free. They have never had any covid-19 infections. Why not invite teams from the Islands, which could be complemented with NZ or Australian based eligible players, to play some tests? Sure the scorelines may be lopsided, but it's about seeing some...

Yes she does. No she doesn't Do I really have to drag out multiple quotes of various PMs saying that is a caucus decision to avoid answering questions? PM can happily override caucus. It happens, often referred to as a captains call. Jacinda did it with CGT heading into last election. Little did it...
