@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks vs Pumas I:
On Patty T - for what it is worth he was brilliant against Southland last Friday. His form also got better and better for the Blues as the season went on (a bit like Moala) so not sure what the go is.
I've heard that Hansen mistakenly thinks he plays for the Hurricanes, hence why he's not selected....
@kiwiinmelb said in Things that annoy you about rugby...:
Ex front rowers who become commentators that get over excited over fat unco blokes running slowly with the ball
Speaking of front rowers, one little annoyance is a packed stadium yelling out BEAST, every time said beast gets the ball and makes less yards carrying it than Owen Franks....

How to pronounce Jaguares properly
It’s pronounced ruh-nurs ah-p
@Chris said in RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool 
:
Shitty unconvincing win we need to be a lot better then that to win the WC
No we don’t. All we need to do is win the game. Who really cares how.
There is a randomness that Garces brings and I’m pleased we dealt with it relatively well. No cards is a big tick for me.
@BartMan said in RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1):
I think the only real beating up of the ABs the last few years is Paddies in Chicago and Convicts in Perth. The rest of the losses are just the ABs running out of time to win
The arrogance of new posters never ceases to amaze.
@winger said in BLEDISLOE 3:
Maybe the selectors need to have a good look at Garden Bachop.
It’s officially comedy hour....
Some say being beaten by 25 points at home is a humiliation.
I’m one of those.

That we lost to Ireland.
Scotland is next
We’re not Australia....
Know quite a few on here like the ESPN 30 for 30s and for those that haven’t heard a Bruce Lee one is due for release this week.
It's interesting when a rugby player seems to have developed a Roger Ramjet chin over the off season ...
Isn't the NRL reputed to be rife with doping?
I think what is rife (based on quiet chats) is illicit drug use which acts as a performance enhancer because it can numb pain, heighten emotions, etc. The Joey Johns story showed this.

Yep. Tim Southee took about a thousand wickets in Perth and Melbourne. He must also be the GOAT.
Isn’t he though?
nah, can't bat
Can't bowl.

Caught the extended highlights of Tigers and Sharks, and thought Benji played awesome. Not bad for a 35yo.
Where’s @Sneakdefreak ? Still partying in his bubble aye
@canefan it was a phenomenal effort considering errors and penalties have riddled our game for the best part of the last two seasons.
@westcoastie I actually don’t mind it. Add in the histrionics from the commentary team and it’s almost back to normal.
Warriors defence was 2002-esque. Fantastic effort and discipline too. I actually screamed at the TV when Murchie lost it with only minutes to go.
@nzzp said in Other Cricket 2020:
@mariner4life six bowlers and a wicket keeper batsman. Unbalanced as a team no matter how exceptional the players
It’s not my team but when you look at those first 8 names, they all know how to score test runs. Also taking 20 wickets is king in test cricket....
