I understand why some people don’t like Rassie, but I don’t get how some refuse to accept that he’s a shit hot coach. By intimidating referees? I watched my boss really intimidate someone today, they had made a mistake and he took a bit of time to point out where they had gone wrong and then the ba...

Not at all, not sure why you would think that? I don't, however, think that reducing the number of subs is going to reduce the size of the players to the extent that it will reduce injuries, not to any significant level anyway. To do that you will have to change the laws of rugby completely, depowe...

Huh? Are you saying that a high injury rate is important to you? Not at all, not sure why you would think that?

+2 and cites sevens as an example of a fatigue game without an injury problem. Then watch sevens!! Why are they always trying to make the game more like some other game, what is wrong with rugby being unique and being rugby, not rugby league not sevens, just rugby Huh? Are you saying that a high in...

I keep seeing Ross Tucker saying that about the danger of fatigued players but its nonsense because reducing the subs will result in lighter players. If players are becoming fatigued the fitter teams will run rings around them. This isn't rocket science. If anything what we have now is more dangero...

I remember 15 years ago on this forum, white South African posters tearfully informing us that their beloved Springbok team was going to be renamed the Proteas, and using this news to viciously attack black politicians. The name change seems to be taking a while fellas? I hope you weren't lying; ma...

Quick poll. How many here ride a bike to work? Don't get me wrong, I love cycling but it's a recreational pursuit for me. No way cycling to and from work is convenient in any way shape or form for me. Let's hear from all you regular posters? Totally impractical for me. Same goes for the wife. Just ...

Yes. That'll be it. I mean why be so concerned about it though? They're not going extinct anytime soon. It's the same in China where their one child policy over 40 decades means the population will drop. I heard some hysteria about it but I saw a graph that showed 1.41 billion people now and by 205...

1 in 20 dolphins in Sarasota Bay has scars from a boat collision. Why don't these sailors make their own artificial lakes to sail on? They're all rich and apparently a billion people are watching this boring crap. Shouldn't be too hard for em to make a good ROI You mean the marine sanctuary Sarasot...

Yeah when you think about how much commercial and recreational shipping/boating is in the harbour every day it does seem ridiculous that a sailing regatta is subject to such draconian rules. On another note I would have thought all the woke, greenie, hand wringers on here would have welcomed an eve...

For want of the better place, he's not posted for awhile so does anyone know what FOG is up to? Last post 31/12/23 but last lurking visit today.

Do what exactly, I’m not seeing your point in relation to what I said I'm assuming Enz is saying if Coutts/SailGP didn't like those conditions they shouldn't have signed up for them. No. I was suggesting he could have investigated ways to herd the dolphins away from the course ( if allowed) Perhaps...

And how is having this particular race in Lyttelton Harbour going to effect the money made by the dolphin people. Let’s just say that the very worst outcome happens and a hector dolphin is dumb enough to get in the way of one of these boats and does indeed get killed, how is that going to stop the ...

It seems to me that a certain group feel that they have been severely curtailed in their activities for the last 6 years and want to make up and to hell with the consequences. So talk us through the consequences here. The dolphins make a whole lot of kiwis a living - last I heard around $15m annual...

You just don't seem to get it do you, they knew the rules and signed up to them so unless the harbourmaster or Dolphin watchers went outside the agreement then Coutts and Co are just a bunch of self entitled wankers. Another thing that no one has mentioned, that I've seen, is what if a catamaran di...

Or you could just not hold it in a marine mammal sanctuary at the time when said mammals are most in abundance there.
