Whilst that's true, there's also fudge all the rest of us can do about it. It's ok to assume that the sex which commits the most assault might be assaulters? some serious double standards at play here. There might be something we can do. In terms of coming down hard on other men that behave like th...

I realise I'm not the most culturally enlightened member of this forum but this ceremony is way over the top.

Jimmy Spithill comes across as a very classy individual, you can see why he's such a great captain. A follow into the trenches kind of guy.

Commentators have blown their load, we've won this.

Italians winning the start?

Jerome Manning

The commentators on TVNZ with the exception of the experienced competition sailors on the panel, are in full crow mode and have been for a few days. Must be a difficult sport to present on TV. The main hosts have to appeal to people like me who know nothing, and then you have experts appealing to p...

It took nearly an entire page for someone to quote the actual rule. Good stuff PR

I always thought that it was a referee's judgement call as to whether you had a "reasonable" chance of catching it. Turns out I was wrong.

It's not obtuse. A dodgy copper, who by all accounts showed all the signs of being a complete nutjob shortly before this happened, has allegedly abducted and murdered a girl walking home, possibly with a female accomplice. As a result, every catcalling and "unwelcome look" from men to women is bein...

Getting an intercept for the match winning try and thinking the sideline is the tryline.

Jerome Manning

wtf is going on

Why did the Italians sail out of bounds...twice

Jerome Manning

There does seem to be a massive luck component.

NZ shat the bed when they were about to pass.

Take the sail off them completely and don't let them replace it

Jerome Manning

first lead change. wow.

Jerome Manning

So we've lost the first race today.

A "men are bad, women are good" approach to a serious issue of violence against women, or the wider issue of violence in society in general is very unlikely to produce a solution. You'd prefer a 'very fine people on both sides' approach? The reality is that it's not women raping and murdering men i...

If it’s complex - where questions answers are not binary - call.

No way - if it can be spoken, it can be written. And better. And clearer.

There’s no such thing as an urgent email

I'll agree with that.

Trying to arrange a first home purchase and it appears it's 1974 - no one responds to email. Is this a professional thing? Is it too impersonal? Phone is horrible, horrible horrible.

See marshall still doesn't understand relative velocity and the foward pass rule.. disappointing from a commentator It's disgraceful.

Jerome Manning

Justin Marshall thinks that it is judged relative to the ground

Holy shit we are lost as a species.

Think you’d find Reds, Tahs and Brumbies would look alright too

well yeah, that just makes it sadder. Imagine how strong the comp would look without NH money.

So anyone know how big these ‘tsunamis’ were in the end?

Also: Monty Panesar has made bombshell claims about the England cricket team that question whether its treatment of the ball in the field was legal throughout his international career. The former England spinner, who played 50 Tests between 2006 and 2013, played a crucial role in ball-maintenance f...

Why on earth are big corporations loving lockdown, I find that very hard to believe, I work for one and as far as I'm aware, we are not "loving lockdown"

Competitive advantage - it's hurting small business much, much more.

Back to the subject at hand - if no new community-based cases are found between now and decision making time today, what decision should the government make pertaining to level restrictions?

The Aussies were cheating. They used sandpaper.

Throw in some cricket and I'm about as correct a sports fan as one can get.

That's a massive call and precisely what this thread is about.

Next topic: Bradman v Scott Styris - who was the better batsman?

I honestly think it is variation between the balls themselves that is causing them to swing or not - essentially a fault in the manufacturing process where each ball is different. Tim Southee took 7 for f%ck all against in England in CWC2015, swinging the ball late by a foot. When it was England's t...
