1. Folau is a twat.
2. Even now, there are still way too many who think being LGBTQ is a lifestyle. For some, coming out is fine. For others, it's violence and ostracism, some have been killed over it. It can often depend where you live, the beliefs of family/friends etc. Religious fuckwits have caused immeasurable harm to LGBTQ people. Words matter. They fester in hearts and minds, and sometimes provoke action.

It's fine for those who are utterly unaffected to say oh he's just being a piston wristed gibbon, ignore, but it's a bit different when you are in the LGBTQ community and get the slurs and discrimination etc from religious fuckfaces on a regular basis.

I wish they would both fuck off.

@Kirwan said in Aaron Smith naughty boy?:

Watching the cringeworthy statement from Smith where he was quite upset (seriously, why did they make him do that?), it reminded me of another world class player that decided to leave NZ because it was too much of a fishbowl: Carl Hayman.

I hope we haven't chased away the best halfback we've had since Bachop because of some click hungry hacks and a couple of perverts who decided to record this incident.

That tearful apology was just awful. For him, for the AB's, for his friends and family. This is so out of control. The only people he owed an apology to was his girlfriend and the NZRU for being a douchebag when on duty. Everyone else can fuck off. Jesus, the lynch mob have got their pound of flesh for this, it makes me want to punch the recording couple in the face for being the catalyst that inflicted this bullshit on the country.

What a game, eh.
While there was little appreciation for my nerves, that was vintage Bledisloe, and I'm glad we got up in the end to honour the mighty Tree.
Shocking start by the ABs, Wallabies were crisp in passing, tight on defence, and pounced on mistakes. Genia clearly took a sip from the fountain of youth, great game.
Ioane fantastic, gees he is quick, always making metres. Our scrum was also mighty tonight. DMac, well he is brave, and he makes some good sniping runs, but bloody hell he needs to sort out his passing. Sometimes it is downright awful. I'm nervous about these continual head knocks for Crotty and Cane. Not good. SBW had a game to forget. ALB much better from last week.
Cheika is a dick. Dude, you lost because your kicker couldn't kick for shit. And I wouldn't be shitting on the refs, because your team got several favours out there in terms of 50/50 disallowed tries, and another than could have easily got one of your men a yellow.

@taniwharugby
And isn't it Morganic. Don't you think. A little tooooo Morganic. Yeah I really do think.
It's a little fame pre-election day.
A free ride because of Turei's mistakes.
It's no good advice, just renters and cats
Who would have thought...poll single figures.

@NTA said in Re: Movie review thread...:

Let's see:

1. White
2. Into porn
3. Loves getting hold of a pair of tits

Yep. @Mokey is a bloody misogynist.

You forgot loves rugby, you fucking PUSSY.

I don't ever want to see Warren Gatland anywhere near the All Black head coach job.

I had a 42k student loan when I graduated in 2000. 13k of that was interest, that 8% compounding from drawdown, I didn't get any kind of assistance cos my parents were too 'rich'. Year after I graduated, I went overseas and taught English, sending money home each month to pay it off. It was a shit job for a shit company but I cleared 26k of it, then the rest via NZ jobs the regular way out of my pay.

Have ZERO fucking sympathy for those who skip away and pay nothing. They are entitled assholes now having a whinge because they can't come home? Fuck off. Don't pay your debts, that's what happens. A student loan is a LOAN. Everyone else is chipping away at it, and nowadays the terms are much better than the 90s.

@jegga What happened to Grace was absolutely dreadful and I'm heartbroken for her family and friends, but the public grief overload and vigils, articles, Prime Ministerial apology on behalf of the nation for one tourist are absolutely OTT.

If the PM wants to sob about something, how about our appalling domestic violence or suicide rates.

Does Gatland ever consider that the reason he gets criticised is because he is such a whiny little bitch? His bleating is almost Woodward-esque.

What has Winston actually done for this country? I know he's made a lot of claims about keeping politicians honest blah blah, but holy shit the more stories that come out, he seems to have been the most dishonest one of all. For ages.

@antipodean I'm still mad. Two hours of my life I won't get back.

@antipodean I just 'watched' this. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Made no fucking sense whatsoever, literally everything was random with people showing up and disappearing/getting killed at will. I actually laughed at the end (although I suspect I was supposed to be shocked beyond reason.) If I could give less than 0/5, I would.

Not surprised re Jamieson, he's had a huge few weeks. But now they'll all have a nice few extra days off to refresh before Chch.

10 wicket win. Well I never. Really, really good bowling with a good team effort batting.

Oh boy would I like to see Boult, Southee, Wagner, and Jamieson together.

@taniwharugby Not gonna lie, I did LOL at the one about not needing to be pulled off doorknobs.

@Chris-B Patel hasn't done much at all. Depending on the wicket of course, but I'd be doing a straight swap Patel for Wagner. If we desperately needed a few overs of something else, there is always Kane.

Boult is really bowling well this second innings. Which means the selectors will have an actual quandary for the next test.

Not overly impressed to see we've already used up all our reviews though...

All out for 348, and lunch.

@canefan JINXING BASTARDS.
