I don't know much about the golf clubs in your region but I would base it on those that are close to where you live and/or cost of membership. In Auckland when I was first starting out the closest club to home was Remuera but that club is very expensive and quite snooty so wouldn't have been a very...

Do you link BR with BR 2049? Still think 2049 is Denis' best movie. I'm still f**ked off that 2049 won best visual effects at the Oscars so even though it's great, I hate it. Struggle to think of a film more deserving. Ah wait saw your follow up re-pota/weta Yeah, and just to clarify I actually lov...

Saw it at a decent cinema yesterday. Absolutely epic. Combined with part 1, the 2nd best sci-fi movie I've experienced (Bladerunner will always be 1). Do you link BR with BR 2049?

It does show a real lack of political nous. He could live at Premier House and would probably get at least $1K a week for that apartment anyway. He wouldn't actually be losing any money on it.

Jay Cee Gee

Luxon claiming $50K to live in an apartment he owns mortgage free is a terrible look considering all the cuts and austerity rhetoric, but hardly surprising. Should rightly be hauled over the coals for it. Doesn't seem unreasonable claiming costs for living in your own, mortgage free, apartment. Aft...

France have a few, they get them early. NZ have the most residency poaches of all. Get those Islander kidS. I don't consider someone who moves somewhere as a kid a poach. TBH, there's almost no actual poaches but ones where someone moves to a country as a professional rugby player for the purpose o...

No, and it's probably unlikely there ever will be. Gibson park was in Ireland 4 years before he got capped. He was qualified after 3 though. France have a few, they get them early.

Irish fans - can you tell me how the Project Player scheme worked? Did the union help out the clubs financially or not? Irish provinces have a limit on the number of NIQs in their squad (used to 4 bit grey where it is now) but had dispensation to sign an additional NIQ who could qualify for Ireland...

Bloody beneficiaries. https://newsroom.co.nz/2024/03/01/luxon-claims-52k-accommodation-payment-to-live-in-own-apartment/ Luxon will knee-jerk and now claim it was a mistake and he won't be claiming it. Everything is fine until you get caught with our politicians. I don't think so, like the clean ca...

Mine was a post debating Smith vs McCaw.
Smith right?
The debate wasn't about hairdos.

Smith's frosted tips were pretty great.

22 odd poaches in my list above (the dodgy 1 parent or grandparent link is suspect to me.. don’t like it). Excluding those born outside of England but raised there from a young age. Chandler Cunningham-South while technically not a poach, really should be! Would make it 23. You have no moral ground...

Jay Cee Gee

I think the law should be that you have to have the citizenship of the country you represent, and that you can't switch allegiance. Once capped by one country, that is it, you can only represent that country. I appreciate that the latest law would harm smaller countries, but I don't like the idea t...

I bet this becomes the most watched rugby documentary that’s ever been made.

Uncle Tom is a weird term anyway as the source character in Uncle Tom's Cabin, while stereotypically 'yes massa' etc isn't some passive subservient character, but refuses to obey many orders out of principle, protects runaway slaves and ends up being beaten to death for his refusal to betray his fel...

“Uncle Tom” is such a lazy and ugly Americanization of NZ politics, especially when Tehui introduced us to “Colonesian”. I've heard the term 'Good old boys' being thrown around too. - Uncle Tom - Good Old Boys -??? Any other good, disparaging Americanisms we can use to apply to anyone who has a dif...

Colonesian sounds too nice, it lacks the bite of Uncle Tom.

Shouldn't we at least adapt it for NZ though? Uncle Tama?

Yesterday he was bland to the point of meaningless, and whilst I do realise that he’s up against it here in terms of competition ; I hope he leans forward .

Deja Vu....

How's everyone's training going over the festive season? Mini rant, there was this twat at the gym tonight.

Agreed, I like James Shaw, he really did seem to be in the wrong political party though, probably would have been better suited to Labour. Based on what? Policy or vibes?
