Another positive was that Matich looked a lot better than Taramai at this level.

Damned with faint praise ...

@Rancid-Schnitzel BU is a decidely mediocre school.

BYU led the nation in passing offense, total offense, and scoring offense during the regular season ofJim McMahon’s final year. He went to the draft lottery as a junior, selected #5 pick in the 1st round, led the Bears to their first Superbowl two years later. Danny Ainge of the Celtics is also a graduate.

BU ((Boston University) or BYU (Brigham Young University)?

Of course Collins can’t catch a fucking cold

Isn’t it weird how Blues fans criticise him for making basic errors every game?

About Collins ... if he was a Tana favourite how come MacDonald selected him too?

Because Trainor, Duffie and Perofeta are all injured?

Fair call.

@Justin Marshall

A penalty try is awarded between the goal posts if foul play by the opposing team prevents a probable try from being scored, or scored in a more advantageous position. A player guilty of this must be cautioned and temporarily suspended or sent off. No conversion is attempted.

In news other than Justin Marshall's somewhat rusty knowledge of the laws of the game - thought the end of year tour, and England's start to the 6N, show that forwards need some power. In that regards, thought Shannon Frizzell stood out in his wee cameo for the Highlanders, while in this game Ioane and to a lesser extent Robinson, showed good moments.

Watching the Blues, you sort of thought they had a charity spot in the team for a local kid with special needs. This week's lucky winner was Michael Collins. For the Crusaders, Braydon Ennor went pretty well.

Think the Blues have potential, that was a respectable enough loss against last year's champions.

It's weird, Justin's continued ignorance of the laws. Mextedesque.

However, why was noone YCed for the second PT?

I'm okay with the outcome. Seems like a strange reasoning. Intent doesn't normally matter.

You referring to Mataele's deliberate knock on?

If so, I can't quite see your logic ...

He was obviously trying to knock it backwards, thus he wasn't deliberately knocking it on ...

I'm starting to think this Akira fellow could be in the All Blacks.

Funny enough, despite my fanboi status, I can see why he is not (yet). Run on to it!

Also there was that (Indian??) cricket poster. Went by a couple of names during his time I think. Good contributor.

Salil/thaleelbhai?

Was a really good bloke, not sure where he vanished to. I met up with him briefly in Rotorua one Boxing Day when he was in NZ on a family holiday.

Beat me to it

@ACT-Crusader said in Where are they now? (Past Ferners):

, can anyone remember the poster that had the warriors logo as his avatar? Was it Auckman?

Auckland Warlord?

@MN5 I'm not trolling. I'm stating a fact.

Interesting you find them equally attractive. I guess if you have a type....

Well he's clearly got no fucken sense of humour. Creepy sex fetishes stands to reason.
