      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.

    • RE: Cricket: NZ vs England

      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.

      Akira Ioane's big work ons:

      Jackling. He's a big guy, but that's not an excuse. Gets the odd turnover for the Blues but gives away ruck penalties too. May lack confidence as well as skills there.

      Link play. Not a traditional big six strength, but could up fitness and improve decision making to get involved more in support. First half of 2019 Super Rugby his link play was excellent, maybe lacks confidence or decision making of when to switch lines.

      Decision making of when to stay on his lines and when to hit the ruck or link off his line. Does this very well late in the game, but could increase involvement in first 50 minutes by being able to pick when to get involved. That kind of decision making could be the difference between a very good player and a great player.

      I thought after watching today his only work on for me is a huge nit pick, but I would've preferred to see him take those tries himself - extra pass makes room for a mistake and getting those tries himself maybe has an effect on the oppo"s head space too? Best game in black for me, although admittedly against a fairly ordinary Oz.

      I agree with this, almost like he was showboating that the gams is too easy for him, look at how unselfish I am etc. Just run over that last defender!!

      Poor old Akira can’t win can he.
      Ah well, we can always go back to back Shannon Frizzell.

      Whatchu talking bout Willis?

      He was fucking awesome. Best player on the paddock. Like Bones said, a huge bit pick, but just cos he was awesome doesn't mean we can't discuss work ons!

      I don’t see learning to be a hungus prick as a valid work on, probably more the other way around.

      Akira a couple of years ago probably would have steamrolled the last defender, ignoring the unmarked man outside him, and we’d have been saying ‘Akira needs to learn to pass’

      I’d like to know when putting your team mate over for a freebie try became a no-no?

      To me a simple catch and pass is far less risky than tucking and going yourself and potentially loosing the ball in the tackle, being tackled short of the line or being tackled into touch.

    • RE: Cricket: NZ vs England

      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....

    • RE: All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe 1 Eden Park 7th Aug

      Let’s see if Foster learns from his poor substitution tactics tonight? I doubt it.

      Jordie to the wing - total waste of a sub. He was poor as a starting winger, what made Foster think he’d add anything to that position off the bench?

      Subbing Akira who was arguably our best forward, smacks of a pre-meditated plan. Grow some balls and sub Ardie if he’s the least effective of the loose trio.

      Then putting most of the bench on within a few minutes, lost all our momentum.

      Oh how spoilt were we when our bench would come on and tear teams apart in the last 20.

      sigh

      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?

      Ioane is pretty good.

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

    • RE: Northland Rugby 2022

      @taniwharugby also, yes Danks was in the MW team when we won the premiership in 11 & 12.

      Interestingly enough, when Ben Berridge left school, the Northland coach at the time wanted him to play hooker. Our coach at the time (who you would have played a bit of golf with TR) told him to get eff’d, we’ve got a good hooker, Berridge is playing 8!

    • RE: All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test

      This late charge of Irelands all came from our man being taken out in the air during the lineout 6 or 7 minutes ago. Shows what a shit call can do to the momentum of a game.

      Terrible, terrible play right there.

      Might as well have taken the penalty instead of playing for the advantage!

      No downward pressure, that simply can’t be a try.
