@majorrage And I GAF what you think of my spelling.
And punctuation?
As Mark Richardson used to say no one likes a corrector.
As Mark Richardson meant, if he was smart enough to realise it - "nobody who always gets shit wrong likes a corrector".
Glade to hear that you get everything right in life.

Ian Foster explains why Mo'unga wasn't released for Mitre 10 Cup (video in article):
The more and more I hear Foster talk I think we are in good hands going forward after Shag.
Ahhhhhhhhh!
Foster talked up a storm for the Chiefs too. He's a likeable man, who knows a lot about rugby.
What he couldn't do was sustain good performances in his teams. Something was wrong with the way he mentally prepared them. The Chiefs were fragile, even when winning.
Also he couldn't sack his favourites. Promising players who were promoted but didn't deliver (de Malmanche, say) were never dropped.
He's not a terrible coach, but we have better options.
Please don't compare those swamp rats from the Waikato to the AB environment thats like comparing a zephar to a procshe

@wreck-diver interesting how he says "and I felt...we felt as a coaching group..."
Tbh I think if he has the right people around him I can't see any issues, maybe Razor to come in under him as the heir apparent?
Thats like suggesting Deans should have been AB coach 2008

@wreck-diver In the day people used to joke that there was a shiver running up and down Bill Rowlings's back looking for a spine.
Thats probably because he was a Labour muppet

@act-crusader said in All Blacks v Argentina - Nelson:
I canβt see them starting a test match with Richie at 10 and Jordie at 15. Not this early in their careers. Given the importance of our 10 and 15 in counter attack, playmaking etc, they need at least one of our experienced heads to be there.
Exactly.
The spine runs from 2 to 8, 9, 10 and 15. A rookie 10 should be supported with experience at 12 and 15.
That's another bogan ball term that's crept into rugby

@taniwharugby said in All Blacks v Argentina - Nelson:
@akan004 yeah I know, same applies to Cane, and I expect with the head knocks it is largely bad luck (poor technique the odd time) so if they are right then they are right...although they are still learning when it comes to the effects of concussion arent they.
I think you are right there. I lot of players have bad tackle techniques, getting the head in the wrong position, tackling off the wrong shoulder resulting in HIA for them.

@derm-mccrum what shitting himself.
Someone already knocked that easy ball out of the park hours ago. Swinging at empty air is not a good look on here. You need to be on your toes.
Neither is using logic.

I'd play Beauden Barrett at 15, allowing him to come up to first receiver a lot. The best of both worlds. Murray can take the exit plays, moves etc, but Beauden comes in if he sees a hole.
I want a goalkicker somewhere in the team, and Beauden isn't it.
When did we start using bogan ball terms, first receiver. 1st 5 or stand off please.
Pot, kettle
Sorry I meant to write fly half, but its to late now.

@taniwharugby Crotty will be back for Nov tour. But I have been wrong before.

Wyn Jones?
Smith
Sexton
Dmac? (For world 15)Murray: one trick pony: good box kick. I'd lean towards Genia. Smith is not up to pre toilet standards yet.
Smith: one trick pony: fast pass.
Honestly, I know we hate the Irish style of rugby, but when it comes to controlling a game and slowly but surely strangling the life out of an opponent, even if you fall alseep watching, Murray and Sexton are up there with the best.
This sums up what makes selecting a World XV difficult. No use having instinctive fast backs with slow pivots and vice-versa.
Imagine AS racing to follow a breakdown and firing the ball quickly to Sexton. Sexton would be thinking 'FFS man, give me a chance to work out what to do'
BB would be screaming at CM 'Why did you kick it you moron?'
It's a team sport and the team needs to be able to gel as one.
The only sure thing about selecting a World XV is that BBBR would be in it.
Fcuking hilariouse. The look on Sextons face would be priceless

Those are the sort of places Donald Trump had in mind when he talked about shitholes!

@bones said in Bledisloe II:
@wreck-diver it's 5 years ago, but he did a pretty fucken good job off the bench against Ireland!
I just think at this stage in his career he's a starter and our 1 tight head.
