From the BBC's live scoring:

@Stargazer said in Crusaders vs B&I Lions:

Okay, my 2 cents. I haven't read most of the comments, because to my great surprise (well, not really), all these Ferners who have always expressed their dislike towards the Crusaders (remember the hatiest team thread?) suddenly come out of the woodworks to dish the Crusaders and individual players. The frustration about the Crusaders being unbeaten this Super Rugby season must be huge. And the frustration with some of their players not being selected in the AB squad. Really pathetic.

LOL. You have to take shit for one game this year and you get that worked up.

I see that she didn't kill anyone other than herself.

Whether it's mass shootings, running for president, or leading a coalition government, women just can't do anything right.

Someone's got to do it:

When are the teams named?

@Kirwan arbitrarily changed his avatar to a picture of a tin of spam.

Back when Kirwan was cool.

@chris-b said in All Blacks v France Test 3:

@kiwimurph So with Squire and Taufua out, does that bring Akira into the selection frame?

They've arguably still got Whitelock, Fifita, Frizzell and Savea to cover 6/8 options.

Four of the greats!

@mariner4life There is no worse type of person than the self described social media influencer.

The woman said the more she thought about it the angrier she became.

"We want to convey the fact that we're not narking or gossiping."

"They are kings and treated like absolute royalty...We hold these people so high in regard.

"They get paid more money than any other athlete, they're household names, and they're on the Weetbix boxes for God's sake."

The woman's husband also made a recording on his phone from outside the cubicle after he realised what was taking place.```

What a fluffybunny.

@Bones said in Top Ferners underrated players:

This thread is brilliant. @MN5 pretending he watches rugby and then not so subtly trying to get everyone to talk about players from 10-20 years ago.

XVs from Sky's Breakdown show:

I love how David Hungate looked like Newt Gingrich.

Zac Guildford

Whoa! Harsh!

@sparky said in Top Ferners underrated players:

Ayden Johnstone

Doesn't play for the Chiefs.

@antipodean If that survey was legit, then it was probably just the Crusaders, who were most prominently mentioned. As Ben O'Keefe was ranked the best referee, I suspect it was made up.
