@Tim said in Blues 2020:
The team is shaping up now, but there's a lot of inexperience at the back.
- Karl T
- ? Abel or Niuia?
- Ofa T
- Tuipulotu
- ? Maybe one of the Harbour boys or Whetton?
I'd give Pierce the first chance along side Tuipulotu
If the rumours are correct we'll need a new TH
I was looking at some of the archives.. @Bartman was prolific but there were plenty of others contributing
Those were good starting starting points for conversations on the forum
We're starting to get some good content on the front page again

If anyone wants to write something for the front page:
1) Click on New Topic
2) Select 'Front Page' from the Category menu
3) Write what you want.. and submit. The new thread will be created but won't be visible
4) Wait. Sorry, it’s a manual process for it to get add to the website. Also, I might add some pics/video etc
I was hoping to automate this but the software I want to use is too buggy.. in a few months it'll be automated.
Also, send me a chat if you write something in a thread and want it on the front page.
There's some good content in the threads that becomes difficult to find a week later. It's a way of having a better link to that content

@Rapido said in Best of RWC:
didn't generate nearly as much wailing as the Joubert decision v Scotland. This is, I assume, because of social media, clearer slo-mos and more angles, - and videos in twitter feeds.
I'm unaware of the social media follow up. It's easy to ignore by not being on social media.
My memory of the match was that there was more than just the last call? A late shot on Hogg being ignored etc

Poor old Craig Joubert.
Really? I haven't seen that Aussie vs Scotland game since, but I remember thinking he was bottling it
Scotland at that time would've had a good chance of getting past the Argies too. A NZ vs Scotland final..
The quality of NZ's attack in the QF was amazing
