What a fucking joke.

I couldn’t believe this was sighted in the first place and I’m absolutely stunned he got a holiday.

It’s only a matter of time before a big game (ie pool decider or a finals game) is decided on a red card due to minimal accidental contact with the head.

Rugby is heading down a very slippery slope, one that they won’t be able to climb back out of and it worries me.

Thank u four coreckting me. Eye woodn’t have been abel 2 sleep tonite other y’s.

You know what’s so pleasing about this performance for me?

When the Black Caps were the laughing stock of test cricket, we’d sometimes have a couple of sessions where we’d dominate a top team, say have them 5 or 6 down for bugger all. Then inevitably someone in the opposition team would save the day with a big tonne or a bag of wickets and we’d go back to being shit.

Man it pissed me off, those bloody good teams always had someone that would stand up and perform when required under pressure to steal the game away from us again.

Well guess what, the Black Caps are now that good team who can soak up the pressure of being dominated for periods, before someone always puts their hand up when the team needs them the most.

It’s certainly a golden age of NZ cricket, soak it up people.

This bloody Santner, why is he in the team?

120 odd runs and 3 late wickets to have NZ in the box seat. Pffffft, you’re gonna need to bring more than that to satisfy The Fern pal....

BB is past it. He was just totally anonymous for the Blues. Terrible buy.

I really don't like malls. Always such a shambles.

I'm not a fan either, too many people for my liking. Parking is always a bitch too.

Why is Marty Banks missing from the list?

Or is this actually a serious thread?

@Tim said in All Blacks vs Boks:

Ioane is pretty good.

With lack of a better option, I guess he'll do.

@Bones said in Cricket: NZ vs England:

I know many don't like him, but really neat interview with Ian Smith just on sky UK, was it on in NZ too?

Don’t understand why people wouldn’t like Smithy, he’s a brilliant, knowledgeable commentator. I always enjoy listening to him.

@KiwiMurph said in Crusaders v Chiefs (SF):

And that is why James Lowe was never an All Black...

Oh is that why? I always thought it was because he had a fucking terrible hair cut.

Wow wow wow, that understanding between Triple T and DMac.

Chirst, there can't be any fit locks left in the country!

Jordie and Ardie are both tall enough aren't they?

Looking forward to this one, I'll be heading along with the young fulla. He'll watch for 2 minutes and get excited when he see's Tom Robinson whom he thinks is a mate of mine with equally long flowing ginger locks who incidentally also plays lock/6... down a punnet of chips then roll down the bank with his mates for the rest of the game... good times

Looks like it'll be good weather, which should make for a good crowd on a Saturday afternoon.

Our loosie mix will be interesting with all our injuries, thankfully Big Red isn't one of them. It might be a case of who ever is fit gets a game.

I'd like to see Gregory come into second five, but don't think the coaches share that view.

I believe this is Ross Wrights 100th game and there is a group of his family/friends all making Ross Wright masks for the occasion. I really hope they've got matching mullets too.

@Kiwiwomble lets talk about the Taniwha's challenge in a couple of weeks, that's the one you want to worry about

I thought the Warriors looked brilliant in the first half, and had the Raiders by the scruff of the neck.
That bloody intercept try changed the momentum Canberra's way, and that was that.

What did Twain say - 'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.'

You can't help but admire the Warriors at the moment.

Nice touch from Payten.
Geez he'll be hard to replace and hopefully he hasn't just set us all up for massive disappointment next year if the Warriors inflated tickers all shrink over the off season...

Ah well, not an unexpected result and we won’t be the only team that gets a hiding from the Invitation XV.

@taniwharugby said in Tasman v Northland:

well this score is ending what I feared it would be

Still 2 minutes to score one last try...

Wellington got a BP last week while getting towelled up, so it must be 4 tries.

Good try!

Come on lads, one more and let’s sneak out of Blenheim with a bonus point...

@taniwharugby said in Tasman v Northland:

SO Robinson off, that has to be a call from higher up?

Either that or simply not risking him for a lost cause?

@KiwiMurph said in Tasman v Northland:

Robinson looks great.

Shhhhh don’t tell Fozzie
