@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks vs Pumas I:
On Patty T - for what it is worth he was brilliant against Southland last Friday. His form also got better and better for the Blues as the season went on (a bit like Moala) so not sure what the go is.
I've heard that Hansen mistakenly thinks he plays for the Hurricanes, hence why he's not selected....
@kiwiinmelb said in Things that annoy you about rugby...:
Ex front rowers who become commentators that get over excited over fat unco blokes running slowly with the ball
Speaking of front rowers, one little annoyance is a packed stadium yelling out BEAST, every time said beast gets the ball and makes less yards carrying it than Owen Franks....
Come on fellas, some of the provincial stuff coming out now and fluffing is terrible.
But hasn’t Richie, Whitelock and Goodhue played well

How to pronounce Jaguares properly
It’s pronounced ruh-nurs ah-p
@Chris said in RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool 
:
Shitty unconvincing win we need to be a lot better then that to win the WC
No we don’t. All we need to do is win the game. Who really cares how.
There is a randomness that Garces brings and I’m pleased we dealt with it relatively well. No cards is a big tick for me.
@BartMan said in RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1):
I think the only real beating up of the ABs the last few years is Paddies in Chicago and Convicts in Perth. The rest of the losses are just the ABs running out of time to win
The arrogance of new posters never ceases to amaze.
@No-Quarter said in Parenting:
@ACT-Crusader having 5 kids goes a long way to explaining his repetitive ongoing team selection Dad joke. The dude must be a fucking master at driving his kids insane with the same jokes over and over.
I might not get 5 laughs every time I tell my dad jokes at home but at least I get 5 upvotes for my AB selections.
Shout out to @Chris-B @Canerbry @shark @Chris @Stargazer
@winger said in BLEDISLOE 3:
Maybe the selectors need to have a good look at Garden Bachop.
It’s officially comedy hour....
Hawks with another good win tonight against the Bullets. Tyler Harvey’s runner was unstoppable. He came up big and scored 31. I like their squad.
Looking forward to seeing the Breakers first hit out tomorrow.

They actually played okay for their first game. Kyrie and KD got plenty of shots. Harden got plenty of dribbles.
They had a few issues on their pick n roll defence, but Cavs do not shoot 20/40 from 3 on many nights. And they weren’t all wide open shots either.
exactly. obviously i didn't watch (on this, are there less games on ESPN now?) but the first gig together is always going to be tough. and it looked a crazy game. box score wise they all did pretty well.
ESPN showed a couple of games today. They have at least 5-6 each week. SBS Viceland also show 2-3 a week also.

the Nets lose in the big 3's first game. what does this meeeeaaaannnn?
Get more shots for Joe Harris
Cavs were lights out from 3. They hit 20 of them. Sexton had a career night and the team as a whole shot the ball very well.
Jarrett Allen had a nice little game against his former team
@Catogrande said in Australia v India:
Something I’ve learned reading this thread is we seem to have a new filter going. It seems that if you type in the word p o a c h you now get pickup. Cool.
Rupeni Caucau would’ve been a nice pickup
It works!
@mariner4life and it’s only Championship week. It turns up about 10 notches in the SB off week....

@ACT-Crusader I know I haven't been here long but that sounds far too balanced an opinion to be allowed
I’m here to bring balance

@Bovidae said in World Test Championship:
@Canes4life As mentioned above, we should be cheering for India to beat England and SA to beat Aust in their upcoming series.
This breaks it down and shows all scenarios but the simple way is that either the SA series does not go ahead or if it does Oz either lose one test or draw two. Apparently drawn games between these sides on SA soil are very rare.
I’ve read about that as well.
Port Elizabeth - 31 tests, 5 draws
Wanderers - 42 tests, 11 draws
Newlands - 58 tests, 11 draws
Kingsmead - 44 tests, 14 draws (don’t think they play tests there much anymore)
Can’t the prequels and sequels just get along...
For the record, I don’t dislike any of the movies. Some I watch more than others but when it comes to Star Wars I’ve learned to just roll with the punches.
@Snowy said in ANZAC Test Cricket XI:
@barbarian Very funny.
If you guys would condescend and actually come and visit us for a test series that might look a little different. Last time was 2015?
You are also using @ACT-Crusader 's selection policy. Nice that the world number one batsman snuck in though.
It’s a tried and true policy.
