That why I'm expecting every Kiwi rugby fan on this forum who doesn't support Canterbury to be supporting the Jaguares tomorrow night

no no, that's not how it works. Internally we bicker and fight, but when some foreign invader comes in, we circle the wagons. We are all honorary Cantabs this week. I'v even blacked out a couple of my teeth in support

The argies are welcome to attend the post match bbq though

Good for you
Reece has done wrong in teh past and as far as I;m concerned the matter is resolved
My attitude is live and let live
Your statement is accurate
High character stiffs don;t appeal to me
You can be a piece of shit off the filed as long as you deliver on the field with a few exceptions
Charles Barkley said it best when ti comes to role models

I would have been if it wasn't for you - you're doing the opposite of your intent (for one person at least). :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:

they can bring the BBQ, the wine, and the women. Cantabs can bring the trophy #playtoyourstrengths

in TSF shocker, some blurred lines between this thread (TRC) and the Super rugby final (3 doors down)

Now here's a surprise.
Gutted for him though as it sounds though he puts absolutely everything into being an AB. Something Akira Ioane could take a leaf from

this place has been a dead zone so far this year
Weird perception. Traffic is going nuts, the busiest it's been for years.
Compared to the same period last year we have 50% more unique IPs. Posting is well up too
Last year there was a very clear peak around the England Test. We've reached that level the last four weeks in a row

it might be horribly articulated - or maybe i'm getting the intent wrong - but jag's point re reece doesn't seem so far off the mark to me.
reece was discharged without conviction. that means not convicted of a crime. we have a court system for a reason.
sure that's a big fucking question mark hanging over his character, but it is only a question mark as far as i'm concerned - unless you have first-hand knowledge of what happened. too many on here seem willing to pass a judgement that a court was not prepared to pass, despite having less information available to them than the court did."got off because he's a rugby player" is shit that gets spouted a lot. i'm not prepared to believe that about our court system unless i see some actual proper evidence of it. actual stats, not people going reece +sivivatu=proof.
as to the polly/dr comparison - if you don't see reece as a question mark, then you're seeing him as a wife-beater which is not okay in any way ever - so there are no distinctions. how seriously you take a question mark over someone's character can depend a bit on their role in society, but in this case it's misguided - doesn't really apply to DV (as opposed to e.g. someone a bit dodgy/corrupt being a cop or mowing lawns). i personally think that presenting this situation to a kid as 'reece is a wife-beater, he got off because he's good at rugby, the crusaders and all blacks don't mind' is far more harmful than just going with what the court decided.

We can put a line under this now.
Let's try and keep this about the 2019 Championship and talk about the pros and cons of thinking about someone as a something in Off-Topic
