Watched the final round in its entirety. Was pretty boring once BDC got the the 3 shot lead, as then he just played "par golf", nothing exciting, all very boring.

I do like his methods though.

I think Pene was player of the year in 93. Z Brooke in 94. Same position.

Zinny missed the France series in 94, and still won player of the year. Reflection of what an abortion that year was as well as how awesome he was.

Zinny got 3 dropped goals in his test career, but in that SAF series in 94 was the first time he attempted one in a test match. Almost a replica of his 1995 RWC semifinal droppie. From halfway but (only just) missed IIRC.

Yeah what were the three, was it Eng 95, SA in SA 96 and one on the EOYT in 97?

Yes. Wales at Wembley.

It's quite impressive to think that Taranaki's two starting locks are so young that both have been in the U20s this year. A good test this weekend against Whitelock and co.

@Crucial didn't we do that?

Scott Curry - Midfield Back (Mount Maunganui)

Assume that is only due to sevens being covided?

Didn't know that was midfielder in 15s.

Wow, that's a peculiar fern quote!! I had no idea why that was asked of me.

I need to work on my quoting too, I guess

Because I was too lazy to go back to the original and just cut and pasted from your post.

@Smudge said in What position did you play?:

It wobbled over like a partially lame duck

Worked for Larkham in a rather famous match.

@Bovidae That stat needs an asterisk for getting to play 2 games against Spurs.

Just got in touch with him.

Whangamata's first title!!

Players were still on it on Tuesday morning!

Love!!!

@Chris-B wonder if they'll clean it up and put it on the line

@sparky it was so long ago it may as well have been last year!

As far as I can tell the NPC was only played in 1977 and 1983 and then from 1997 onwards.

@Canes4life Great post.

Maybe Ofa T as Forward of the Year for the Blues? Definitely Ardie Savea as Forward of the Year for the Canes.

@Nepia I'm pleased it's not the other way around because then I'd be branded with the other favourite TSF Cantab stereotype and TSF might have its first litigation 🙂

Me.

I think I am both underrated player and a top ferner.

Who are you ? don't think I've seen you on here before.

My names Reuben Thorne. You might not see me but I do a lot that is underrated.

Good stuff. There’s far too many flash Rodney So’oialos and Jerry Collins’s around for my liking.

@dogmeat Yeah - I know.

But, a double-bogey on the easiest hole on the course after hitting a decent tee shot.

I could have played ambrose with her on the 18th and had some of my shots counted - definitely not what you want as a pro golfer! 🙂
