The Brumbies were on fire but too many journeymen in that Chiefs line up. Some of the basic defensive positioning was dire. The intent you couldn't fault but the rugby IQ was seriously missing.

I can feel her pain. I get described as the bald guy all the time. It hurts because I just want to be treated like everyone else. Bald guys have feelings too. To make me feel better I take it out on red heads, especially the balding ginger at work. Loser.
From your post I can only assume that loss of hair directly corresponds with the loss of empathy for other people. The world is obviously a hard place for the follically challenged but just remember when the jibes are relentless, "you're special".

@No-Quarter Yes, her response was as immature as the actual "incident". And the restaurant with someone named Arvind Kumar as a manager is probably far from "racist" or whatever that means these days. Ignoring the obvious media narrative and her response to the incident the core issue of labeling the group "Asians" in that context still lacks common sense.

Ok..what? Self described Asians are claiming the word Asian as a descriptor for them is 'incredibly racist service'..and it makes the front page of stuff.
If you think your own ethnic background "Asian" is a pejorative then I think it might be you with the problem not the restaurant.
I can actually understand her logic. She just wants to be seen as everyone else in her native country and when some someone refers to her as "Asian" there can be whole shitload of loaded nuances that goes with that term.

If you are going to take out those two blokes, you'd better take an elephant gun with you. Os is one of my favourite Boks of all time.

Farrell...., well...if that isn’t white privilege I don’t know what is.

On Mr. Hemepo, everytime I have seen him in black he looks the goods. The "wise" selectors went with other options that were just baffling to be honest. A physical 6 who is industrious with a big ticker......nah too obvious.

Barnes was really good except that imaginary forward pass. Common sense with the aerial battle and thought he didn't let the crowd get to him too much. Those penalties in the last part of the 1st half were so dumb from the ABs they should have been yellow for "retarded play".
Akira is not being picked exactly because of the nature of the game last night. If that comment needs further explanation then you need to go back and watch Akira play without the blinkers on.
It is obvious to most except us AB fans that the team is in decline. Some of the pre-game analysis from the more knowledgeable NH punters was spot on. -
This was not a game for 2018 Akira at all.

ALB and Goodhue are the next long term midfielders if they ever get a chance to form a combo.

And the panic ensues......
Better team won today hands down. Irish forwards a cut above ABs especially the loosies. Read and BBBR were really, really poor. Headless chook stuff when composure and tight test match strategy was needed. Actually, Ireland were such a better team tonight that I am not even fussed. Just nodded and clapped my hands. -
Sorry but you can’t start your run from the middle of the ruck. You have to start from the last man's feet, right? No try.

@mariner4life My wife was so sick of my preaching on the subject she took me to a seaside sushi shop and said "eat this!" I did and then she told me it was whale. Tasteless shit compared to other sushi. The whale bacon sold in some supermarkets is OK though.

@gt12 I'll have you know that if Utsunomiya was in NZ we'd be the second biggest city. Still the Tokyoite bastards call it the sticks. The gyoza here is the best of course but culinary-wise nothing beats Tokyo.

@sparky said in Japan vs All Blacks:
Hemopo had a good game and is worth another run in Black at some point. He might edge out Patrick Tuipulotu or Pari Pari Parkinson for the RWC squad fourth lock spot.
You are kidding, aren't you? Hemopo might edge out Pat T? Surely anyone can see Hemopo adds so much more than Pat T.

@kiwimurph said in Japan vs All Blacks:
**Mounga, Tahuriorangi and Coles seemed to be the best of the starters. Mounga and Coles need to be in the 23 next week.
Evans and Bridge best of the bench. Would like to see how both of them would go with a start but they are back to NZ unfort.**
Some great tries by Japan. Concerns remain on defence for ABs. A lot of one on one misses. I lost count of how many tackles Naholo missed.
Jordie is lucky to be in the 32 for Europe. I'm not sold fullback is his best position.
This sums it up for me as well. Jodie is only 21 so I think he&ll make a few people eat their words in the future. Not at the moment tho...

You all sound like those two old judges off the Muppets. Looking forward to this. Love seeing some of the next generation come through.

Watching Akira closely. Canterbury almost get a turnover because Akira is the first to the ruck but just watches everyone else do their job. The ball spills lose and he kicks it ahead causing havoc. What an enigma!
