@voodoo they were :). They were doing nz masters events

@canefan lol Glen Jackson has fucked the Lions and the Hurricanes several times over the years but he is a good ref.....spit

@voodoo I've been here since 2009 and Bart was already dialing it back at that stage. Then he just wasn't here and I think Kirwan & Duluth took over.

@Paekakboyz I never really got man boobs or let my gut get really out of control but there's a difference there and the workmates can see it now. I went shopping for clothes over the weekend. I actually go against the grain and like shopping - when it's for me - but it's crazy that I have gone down 3 sizes in a short amount of time.

the mrs has all those muscle ball/roll things and I tried it but hasn't seemed to work.

found it tough to get to the gym this week. Still went and was happy I did but Im feeling a bit flat due to work stress. I am determined to keep this going and not make excuses where I have before.

I do have a niggly bit of pain on the out edge of my right food. Went for a surf on Saturday morning and on one attempt to stand(I suck at surfing, top-heavy and smaller feet than I should have) I got a sharp pain in my foot and it hasn't gone away. Haven't been able to use the tread mill, standard bikes or the rowers. Just in a shit area. Done the top half of the assault bike but I can't do that for long.

My exercise program is largely cardio-based and I feel better when I've done it as opposed to a strength session. Hopefully this shit passes soon.

Still sitting around 99kg - ate like a c*nt these last two weeks so can't complain that I haven't put any extra on. My kids turned 18 and 12 respectively a week apart so we had a lot of cake to get through...

If I had the choice between a week-long session with Margo Robbie and Scarlett Johansson vs Ireland losing to Japan and Australia losing to Wales in the same weekend at the world cup, I'd see you guys next week.

Im not walking away from that type of debauchery for a couple of rugby games. But I had to think for 30sec.

Great job Japan. Who the fuck kicks it out on the full when you are 7 behind and time up on the clock. Don't tell me it was about the bonus point loss either.

I thought like many others that Hooper was dead on with his comments to Poite. How referee's like Poite get as far as thye have, without any feeling for the game, is beyond me.

@taniwharugby can't remember what point of the game it was but ALB was neck rolled. He got up unhurt but immediately looked at Garces, who saw the whole thing, and nothing happened.

On a messenger forum with the boys and they are all complaining about the lag, loss of picture and loss of audio.

I got banned for posting “yessssssss!” For both tries and they were 30sec behind.

Going to the gym 5 times a week. While I have no intention of doing a Mr & Mrs. Bartman it has become mine and my wife's thing.

I'm down to 99kg and feeling dangerous...I'm a young-looking 41(Polynesians usually age well) but my son reckons since I started going to the gym and lost weight I look old. Young punk!

The calf is right back matching the other one. Arms and chest are looking pretty good even if I do say so myself. The gut has still got a ways to go but its more solid and less flab. Shoulders are a struggle to get gains. Backside and thighs are tightening but finding it hard to shed weight there.

@sparky I just think Reiko has been a bit limited and while I think he's still our best wing when in form he's currently 3rd in the pecking order IMO.
