Jager starting at 3 and Blackadder back for the quarter final, albeit from the bench. Drummond and Heinz also back in the squad. Still no Sam Whitelock though. Crusaders: 1-Tamaiti Williams, 2-Codie Taylor, 3-Oli Jager, 4-Scott Barrett, 5-Quin Strange, 6-Sione Talitui, 7-Tom Christie, 8-Christian Li...

Homer call if there ever was one

Reminds me a lot of Richard Hill mk II. Not the biggest, not the fastest, sometimes people will beat him on work rate but he's more than decent there. What marks Whitelock out for me is the quality of his decision making, whether to join a ruck, how to join, whether to take a ball into contact, whe...

As a Crusaders and All Blacks fan, I've had the pleasure of following a number of elite players at SR and test level over the last two decades. Players like Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Owen Franks, Kieran Read etc. All time greats. I'd say that Sam Whitelock is my favourite player of all time, and su...

Very short advantage after 2~3 successive penalties by Oz in the red zone

Cheapshot kiwi forward just shown the cheese. Thomas cheapshot or actual cheapshot? TBH I couldn't really tell based on the camera angles. Ref didn't hesitate to send off. Nz forwards getting dominated, but backs are better. Nice try set up by number 25 who looks like a young Damien McKenzie. 19 - ...

Can't we be anti Frizell and anti Swain? Sure. I imagine we'll see hundreds of frothing anti frizzell posts from Kiwis then. There's a number of anti Frizell posts from Kiwis in this very thread. I so badly want Blackadder or even SBarrett to lock down the 6 position so we can get rid of Frizell.

That would apply to a significant number of his tries.

To this one too.

Filthy offside? Wot? = angry with the ref, as it was a harsh card. You reckon? Off his feet + in from the side to kill a linebreak. My impress was that it was a bit harsh, but I thought it was a defensible call from the ref. Or do I need to take my eyepatch off? Clear penalty but a straight YC seem...

I cut total contact with my birth-mother not long after my first son was born because she was an evil, manipulative, calculatingly-cruel person, toward her own children and grandchildren.

RIP to the best centre I have ever seen. Grace, speed, vision, passing -- he had it all. I was privileged to be asked to interpret for him at a dinner in Yokohama in the early-90s when he was in Japan conducting coaching clinics. I instantly reverted to the star-struck school kid idolising him as a ...

Here's a Parkinson interview with Barry Humphries, who discusses his alcoholism in the bit from 7'44" to 12'12".
