Re: Israel declares state of war
Or they look at the democratic votes in the country including the 2 million Muslims as a guide, rather than the shaky idea of “Jewry”. I’m talking internationally as well , Jewry believe it or not is a clunky but hardly shaky idea . How’s Netanyahu rating with his voters at the moment ? So that’s p...

The Crusaders starting forward pack still looks very strong - as good as any forward pack going around and better than most. True, the starting pack is still very strong. The question is more whether a rookie 10 can capitalise enough on the opportunities the pack creates. And whether we have enough...

Re: Tony Brown to the Blues
Little real advantage.
You can get all that stuff on video anyways .
He’s a talent but a mercurial one who hadn’t actually achieved much as coach in NZ.
If it were Wayne Smith involved with the Bokke I’d be far more anxious .
There’s no chance of that however .
