Re: Casino or Goodfellas
Goodfellas by basically every measure. Better pacing, better comedy, better dialogue, better needle drops, better ending. It’s the most rewatchable movie ever made. I like Casino but it doesn’t get close for me, Goodfellas is just one amazing scene after another for the entire film whereas Casino ha...

Re: Perth All Black vs Wallaby Test Cancelled?
Clearly Foster is to blame for RMos pending birth - no surprises there - but if RMO is not there who should he play? Had Foster placed his clear, undivided faith in RMo 9 months ago he would have spent more time in strategy meetings with the ABs leadership group etc and none of this would be happen...

Re: Congrats Boks - Back to Back in 2023!
Thanks. In the end it is the result that counts. Not how you got the result. I thought Rassie was magnificent both with his on field water carry/coaching and pre match conditioning of the match officials. I'm not saying that holding the refs entire family hostage in the stadium with AK-47s to their...

It was a torrid final but in the end you rolled France quite comfortably.
It's a shame we couldn't make it out of the group for the first time, but happy to just be there really.
Well done

Also struggling to see this as any kind of "win" for NZR, other than the fact that it's a win for everyone as the rugby might (touch wood Queensland remains viable) actually go ahead.

Why do the Saffers lose so often to NZ when they’re so dominant in the important facets of the game? Which country have a better record against the All Blacks? All time, perhaps Rhodesia?

Re: Your country's proportion of best 100 rugby players of all time
I reckon for it to be a fair 100, there should be a limit of 7 players in any one position. Mine has: NZ - 32% Whineray, McDowell, Woodcock, Fitzpatrick, Hayman, Franks, Meads, Retallick, Thorn, Kaino, Kirkpatrick, Collins, McCaw, Jones, Brooke, Shelford, Read, A.Smith, Carter, Fox, Lomu, Rocokoco,...

If the Perth game goes ahead on the 4th how much does RA stand to lose from shifting it by a week?
