Akira must be feeling great right now. Poor guy.

The judge clearly hates the ABs since he wants SF to remain in the team.

Is there a point in playing Whitelock until the 80th minute when they are clearly going to lose? Razor sure loves to run him into the ground and leave the ABs with a burnt out player.

@booboo said in Ireland II:

Interesting contrast in reaction to the two results, Chicago and Dublin.

Winners, losers, magnanimity and shit loss.

The Irish have been terrible losers today. All the kiwis who were happy for Ireland and their fans after the Chicago loss should hopefully now realise that others won't ever reciprocate that level of magnanimity towards us. I hope we will never ever see another day where an AB loss is accepted and even celebrated by many AB fans.

@taniwharugby said in When should Foster go?:

think the point is he was kicking for the 5m lineout, that is the difficult part, but given how far out he was kicking from, he shouldnt have been going for that lower % play...irony is, if he had gone for say 10-15m out, he woulda put it into the 5m....

I know he has said that he is happy to take the risk and go for extra metres and if it doesn't come off then he can live with it. That's fine if we are in the lead or at least are in the game, however this was a crucial time in the game where we were well behind and needed to score. It was definitely not the time to take a risk. This team lacks rugby IQ and Mounga displayed that perfectly with that kick.

@pukunui said in All Blacks v BI Lions Test #3:

Fucking disgrace. I thought it couldn't get any worse than last weeks deciding penalty but that was a complete farce.

Fully expect WR to stay completely silent.

Has anybody ever seen a referee change his mind about a penalty from a non foul related incident? First time in history I reckon.

I thought the big work on after the semi was to improve our physicality. We looked even less physical than last year.

@Stargazer Do you actually believe they didn't have to take a piss during the 8 hour journey?

Aussie based Ferners, Stan is now showing the SRA U20 games too. I didn't expect that. Well done Stan.

"Retallick lucky he didnt break Hanigans neck "

Clown going nuts in the PC.

Would be great if we can knock them out of the RWC. Give him a good going away present.

The government shot down NZR’s bid to relocate the Auckland teams once the city moved to level 3, despite last week allowing four Silver Ferns to fly from Auckland to Christchurch at alert level 4 for their three-match series against England.

Cindy and her double standards.

Hopefully Wiese is free to play against us. Very average player.

@billy-tell said in All Blacks vs Pumas II:

Rieko also made a knock on. He also blew a certain try by not passing to unmarked players.

Not sure if it was a certain try. TJ was covered.

Looked forward

Massive play Hoopah

Not sure why Rennie keeps on picking Swinton.

Nice!

Hopefully the UK won't let him in. Don't want him to be on tour with the ABs.

@kiwimurph said in Wallabies vs Springboks I:

Is that the best test he's ever played?

Easily imo. Great control and took all the right options.
