    • RE: RIP 2017

      @canefan Roger Moore was the James Bond I grew up watching in the 1980s so I was saddened to hear of his passing despite his age.

      I read this on another forum.

    • RE: Bledisloe Two: Auckland, October 18

      Time for Paddy T to have a big game at home as the senior lock. I didn't think he imposed himself at all in game 1.

      The irony is that MacDonald could take Umaga's position again and Mitchell and Deans have nothing to do with it this time. 🤣

    • RE: Ireland vs All Blacks (2018)

      @nzzp said in Ireland Vs All Blacks:

      Ireland have been seriously good for some time. They should have beaten us in Christchurch a few years ago. They should have beaten us in Dublin in 13. They did beat us in Chicago.

      That win in Chicago was the catalyst for this victory in Dublin. Ireland now has the belief they can win these games, and that is half the battle.

      The disappointing thing from an AB perspective is that Ireland played exactly how everyone expected them to so Hansen and co should have had a game plan to counter that.

    • RE: All Blacks Squad for France

      @98blueandgold said in All Blacks Squad for France:

      As Selectors pointed out its work rate and energy levels for Akira. ABs need the forwards to work, clean out rucks, link etc so backs can finish which is probably why Akira not chosen

      Is "workrate and energy levels" a euphemism for masquerading on the wing ala Fifita?

    • RE: All Blacks v BI Lions Test #3

      I'm 2 days late reading this thread so I'll only make a few comments.

      I was high up in the stands in the corner where Jordie scored so had a good view of the other chances at the same end of the ground. Both BB and Laumape could have also scored tries as they were in gaps but fumbled under some defensive pressure. But no excuses for Savea - that was a definite try if he had caught the bloody ball. As many have said, if we had taken 1 or 2 of those chances the ABs would be well ahead at HT and in control of the game, as the Lions were never going to score multiple tries.

      The thing I was most pissed off about was that the officials let the Lions slow the game down all the time as not all the injuries seemed to be genuine. It was like watching a RL game when the support staff run onto the field at every opportunity. Read should have spoken to Poite about this too.

      Now for something about the Lions tour in general. I picked my father up from the airport earlier in the day as he had been working in Europe and was going to the game with me. He travelled back to NZ via London and was sitting next to a guy who was flying into Auckland to attend the 3rd test and flying back to the UK the following day - that's dedication. And at the test there was a South African guy (wearing his Bok colours) next to me who also flew to NZ especially for the game. That is what makes these tours unique so long may they continue.

      Entirely predictable, and disappointing.

      @Bones I saw that article. Isaac isn't a Kiwi anyway. He's from the Pacific Island of Tokoroa.

    • RE: NBL 2021

      Covid has really mucked up the schedule. The Breakers have moved from Auckland to Melbourne to Hobart, and now to Adelaide. Tonight will be their first game in weeks while the 36ers have already played 3 games.

      I'm looking forward to watching Tai Webster in action.

    • RE: Beer thread

      @dogmeat Yeah, they have some great names for beers.

      I was looking at the Behemoth website and the list of beers no longer in production is huge.

    • RE: World Test Championship

      I don't know about the ball, just assuming because it's at Lords they would use the Duke. Southee, Boult and co would prefer to as well. India have been critical of the SG balls so might not be that keen either.

      Has anyone tried these? These beers might now be collectors items and hard to find (or out of stock).

    • RE: World Test Championship

      @Snowy Agree. That is why I said previously that we should hope India beats England, and SA wins a test.

      I'd rather play India at a neutral venue that should offer plenty for our bowlers than face England at home with the Duke ball.

    • RE: Coronavirus - New Zealand

      @Snowy said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:

      True comment above - if one person does it you do it because it is right in front of you and obvious.

      This isn't my observation. If there is a person behind me when I stop to scan the QR code most see it as an inconvenience to have to wait or walk straight past me.

      I've just come back from a supermarket (New World) and they also had large QR codes in store. I wonder how many used them.

    • RE: Awesome stuff you see on the internet

      I remember being in an airport shuttle on the I-74 on my way to Indianapolis airport when a deer ran across the interstate, just missing our vehicle and others.

      I've also witnessed a seagull get capitated by flying into a moving bicycle wheel while I was sitting outside at a cafe at the Mount.

      Both in the days before the need to video everything.
