Dmac , despite his haters , starting to look the goods as an impact weapon

funny interview with Mrs Ioane today with Veitch ,

She met a lions supporter who was sleeping in his van outside ponsonby rugby club ,

Took him home for a feed , made him a bed on a matress on the lounge room floor , told him to make himself at home ,

Sons come home an hour later ( both still live at home and share the same bedroom since they were kids ) introduces her sons Reiko and Akira

Guy had no idea , could not believe it

@Machpants it’s funny listening to the nh analysis,

Listening to Stuart Barnes before the game , Barrett should be playing 10 but they can’t trust his goal kicking, so mounga has been brought into the side. That is a weakness.

They have no idea.

This thread is starting to resemble the good old days around AB selection time ,

All we need is Toeava to make himself available .

Blues are definitely better ,

Listening to them trying to put the daggers into tana today on radio sport was unfair I thought ,

I can see progress even if it isn't reflected in the wins .

After we lost to Australia in 03 ,

Ted and co when taking over , put lots of emphasis back into our forwards , Making them dominant Again,

It’s like we have done the full cycle, and it needs to happen again

@mrdenmore said in All Blacks v France Test #2:

I’m sure there’s a valid reason for the red card, but we know that all it will do is feed the prevailing northern hemisphere media narrative, including its proxies in NZ like Mark Reason, of a conspiracy to nobble the All Blacks’ opposition.

You can never win against those people.

Nh are going to whinge about us no matter what happens providing we are winning ,

Fuck them .

Any other rugby supporters around the world would look at this and say , those kiwis are fucked ,

Cant believe they are complaining about beuadan Barrett

@Nepia said in Blues v Hurricanes:

Canes fans will remember the days of Gopperth v Carter (or Mehrts). That's what it was like for the Blues tonight.

An awesome 10 can make a hell of a lot difference to a team and BB was the man tonight.

I think the Blues are a decent team. They're just the worst of the NZ teams at the moment, in the past the Highlanders and Chiefs held that title for a long time and they've both turned it around to become regular finalists.

I think this blues team is possibly the best worst team we have had

A break dancing all black coach is the stuff dreams are made of ,

Just do what it takes, give him the job

@Rembrandt said in US Politics:

Will be interesting to see what Rittenhouse's lawyer does with this.
It didn't go well for CNN/ABC and others who tried to paint that kid Nick Sandmann as a white supremacist without any evidence

An Hispanic man that shoots 2 white rioters is a white supremacist, it’s getting ridiculous

It’s been reported Chris Wallace has been a registered Democrat for 2 decades ,

There is another problem in America, try and find someone who is neutral to do it , they probably don’t exist

Had a bit of a look at it last night, lasted 10 minutes then thought , WTF am i watching this ?

I think the pro trump crowd will stay the same, they will love their man more , for taking on two people ,

And the trump haters will stay the same ,they will hate him more for being an arrogant prick ,

in other words , nothing has changed

Broadhurst was a hard man , sounds like its taking its toll now ,

go to 1.26 , I was at that game ,Carlaw park, that was Craig Young he dropped ,at the time it was wow, he was the hard man front rower of Aussie league then , Broadhust was still playing local in NZ , was signed shortly after for Manly

@mariner4life said in NRL 2020:

@ACT-Crusader Not goanna lie, I was grinning like a mad fluffybunny the whole time I watched that.

Rugby league is so much better the more brutal it is

I can remember going to watch league test matches as a kid , 70s

And the first scrum packed, you got the customary front row standing up throwing punches ,

Crowd used to love it

The roosters have owned the Storm in recent finals , would they really want to avoid them that much by throwing a game ?

But it was funny the media have been praising them in the build up saying they respect the game too much to rest players like Canberra and Melbourne have done , and then they dont turn up to play anyway

Be interesting if Rules was an international sport , and you had an important test series or WC to play ,

What the team would look like ,

Im guessing more emphasis on who stands up in big games

Gee , that is sad ,

Around the same age as me , I had a long time mate pass away a few weeks ago same age from a heart attack also , with no warnings .

You just never know what’s around the corner .

Sen will be flooded today with callers explaining who was robbed , from their club Of course

They reckon this type of thing is a frequent sight ,

Commercial Trucks delivering equipment for the protesters/ rioters to use , I remember seeing one bit of footage where there were commercial crates of objects like small bricks and rocks for throwing that had been dropped off on the side of the road ,

Which is part of the reason causing people to ask, who is funding all of this ?
