Re: NZ Politics Thread

I'm in Wellington. I'll happily take 3 days of mild inconvenience to 6 weeks of lock-down.

fudge. Even the Crusaders on the sideline are laughing at that call.

Anyway. Massive scrum there. Saders just know how to pick their moments in the last 20 of a game. That stat where it showed they score around 40% of their points in this zone.

It's true, but the 'pro era' qualifier is nitpicky. Aus in 91 knocked out NZ and then won the final.
