Windies all out for 27. Starc 6 for 9, Boland 3 for 2.

How can anyone be happy about this? So close and yet we still own that record, feels like Starc let them get a couple of extra runs to ensure the wound never heals lol

It was all bloody Konstas - 2 dropped catches and let one through his legs for the single to get to 27.

it seems some media feel our pain

@brodean said in All Blacks v France III:

Ryan and Robertson had that history of playing Grace and Gardiner at lock for the Crusaders and I'm not convinced playing loose forwards at lock is something that will translate at test level in the long run. They might have an idea in their head that Papali'i could cover lock if they don't want to bring in Mcwhannel.

If that was to be their coaching and selection genius then David Kirk should give Mark Robinson 24hours to hold them to account before sacking the lot of them.

Ferner you'd most like to have $48 whiskeys with: @mariner4life .

Patty T, Vaa'i and Holland. Patty for an outstanding game filling in for injury, Vaa'i for stepping up at 6 and Holland who so far seems to be stepping into test match rugby seamlessly.

Astute selections

Given that you chose 3 locks (sort of), and are commending the selection of 3 locks by others, I’m going to hazard a guess that you were a lock at some point?

Only in an absolute emergency.

I skipped numbers 4 & 5 in my descent to the real low numbers.

@Canes4life the old one they used to do (c 2000 - 2010, player values fluctuated, you had like 3 trades a round I think (which wasnt ideal, especially with so many byes in current format, so what they could do is allow unlimited trades on players in bye week or listed as injured, subject to your salary obviously)

I was going to get pissy and say start your on thread, but every notification gives me a reason to re read this thread and bring back the good times.

I injured my ankle so had 6 month out. Back in now, Althoigh I’ve got an extremely tight hammy so currently just on the rower. Joys of being old.

Awesome work @African-Monkey. You should be very proud of yourself.

Yeah I do apologize as you did start the thread. I was going to start a while back, but saw you had the same interest and thought I'll come in and be a dick and blend in and join you.

I do hope you make a full recovery and hope you can make it back on the roads again. You were making some really good progress with your times.

What stack do you run.
I was brought up in Wellington using pencil and paper.
Managed to teach my old brain computing and ran a LAMP stack for our business. Now you can cheat code with grok.

Minimal custom code on the forum. Website is AstroJS loading Vue components

The stuff we are adding is more complex and requires a proper backend. Using Supabase for most of that.

Grok? Yeah AI has massively changed IT. My job is unrecognisable from 1 year ago. Every month there seems to be another leap.. the speed of change is insane
