Had to steal this from BA:

With crate power comes crate responsibility.

Trudeau is like a lot of virtue signalling leftists - just as corrupt as those on the right they denounce.

Yep . His father was the same when he was running Cuba .

You owe me a new screen Jegga.

@cgrant said in SANZAAR players coming home:

Players I'd like to see back in NZ for Super Rugby :

Fitzgerald (the Chiefs' stock of locks is rather empty)
Colin Slade
Ihia West (he's been good for La Rochelle and there aren't many experienced 1st 5/8 in the country)
Charles Piutau and Steven Luatua (of course)
Rory Grice (two years ago, he was rated as the best Nr.8 in the Top 14 - it's a position where the NZ teams are lacking big physical men)
Michael Fatialofa (he would bring some grunt to the Blues second row)
Victor Vito (his experience is needed)
Tawera Kerr-Barlow (for the third halfback spot in the ABs)

Saw West play. Looked bloody sharp. Was carving up. TKB not so much. But he seemed to have a vendetta against the opposing 9. Got himself a yellow.

Reckon Scott Barrett will get the job done on Saturday!

They are still at it

Don't blame me. I simply said that previous form is a poor indicator of RWC success. He's arguing that I'm wrong and that previous form is a poor indicator of RWC success. I think. Actually I have no fooking idea.

I liked your comment. I'm not arguing now. I really don't know what his point to argue.

I think our current form is shit. Which is because we are shit. Which means we will likely enter the Cup still shit.

I don't think previous years is much guide. How we are playing now is a much better guide.

It's really very straightforward. We've played shit prior to other world cups and won them. We've also played really well prior to a world cup and been handed our arse. Using prior form as a guide would also have written us off in 87 and 95. Now, again, what was your original point?

What are you on? We played no prior matches in 1987 to have any form. The previous year's tour of France went OK enough, considering the dislocations of that year. In 1995 we only played Canada that year, and we fielded a fresh young side. We went in with very little by way of real form.

Using prior form in 1991 would have indicated that we were on the slide. Which we were, that time, as it happened.

So prior form has proved to be a very poor guide to our RWC form. Nor anyone else's really, for that matter.

My entire bloody point is that form prior to the RWC is a pretty shitty gauge of how the ABs will perform in the actual RWC. That applies not just for us but pretty much every major nation. I've made that clear multiple times. Now for the umpteenth time, what is your point?

Any defence of this tool is not well-timed. He's been at it again.

@Crazy-Horse said in Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****:

@Rancid-Schnitzel the theme park has bombed? Bugger.

I believe it has almost nothing from the Original Trilogy. Speculation that GL still has the rights to OT characters or something. Who knows.

Star Wars Resistance gets canned. Saw a couple of episodes and it was really shit.

It's been a cavelcade of **** recently. Solo bombs, theme park bombs and tv show bombs. Toy sales are pitiful and even interest in episode 9 is nowhere near what it was for earlier films. Hopefully the Mandalorian digs them out of this hole.

He's such a fresh breeze
