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

If he switched he would be the AB right wing instantly

Not tall or slow enough

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 .

We have gone from being the games innovators to a team struggling for ideas .

Lost to the wallabies and the pumas in successive weeks playing dumb rugby . Really dumb .

Concerning

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

@kiwiinmelb BJS likes to get out of fights like these so we'll see on this one. He's looked terrible at 168 so far and I can't see him beating Canelo at this stage. Maybe after his victory over Lemeiux I would have backed him at 160, but not now as much as I would like to see him beat Canelo.

He might have trouble pulling out of this one , Cinco de mayo , going to massive ,

His first interview since the announcement , in the states in the build up , they will be thinking WTF have we got here ?

Canelo continued on his journey as the best pound for pound boxer in the world today , looks an absolute beast at 168 pounds

Billie joe Saunders in May should be a beauty ,

Lets hope for fury v AJ , Spence v Crawford ( have doubts on that one ) in the same year as well

@godder Well Fa isn't really gonna be pushing for world titles and as we all know, there are levels in boxing and Parker hasn't shown anything to suggest that he'll be in contention to win another world title. He hasn't improved much since 2016 and is still showing the same problems he has had since his back to back losses in 2018.

Kevin Barry has done a very good job with him, but he does need a change. I'd love to see him team up with Sugar Hill Steward at the Kronk gym.

I think they will try and get a few more pay days in ,and milk what they can out of the sport, a chisora , a Usyk , that type of fight ,

But I agree , any more world titles is fantasy talk ,

That over hand right , looks horrible with nothing on it , not sure whats going on there , is that the elbow he had surgery on ?

A lot of rugby left in this , this could open right up now

Nice try , go Maori

Execution hasn’t been perfect , but enjoying their positive attitude to the game anyway, both teams

His dad used to like biffing blokes

Found our right winger

Reiko in midfield
