Always been happiest when travelling. 1991 through Europe with mates in a combi was fantastic but I’m gonna say 1998 the year I got married and wife and I spent a year travelling through Asia and South East Asia, epic.

Crusaders need to beat the Melbourne Rebels away on Saturday by at least three tries to claim a bonus point and have a winning margin of at least 33 points to snatch a place in the final.
Here’s the equation

That’s doable but not a certainty.

Brumbies doing a good job of denying the Clan a bonus point so far, good work boys.

Brumbies off to a good start, they look good... Clan look like a rabble so far.

I was wrong, the second yellow is the worst I have ever seen. He should never ref a game of rugby again.

That's the worst yellow card ever, I don't like to complain about referee's but that was bullshit.

Lumpy doing a good impression of a starfish.

Conway gets 50 on debut at Lords, congrats that man!

85/1 Black Caps win the morning session.

I haven’t suggested Sullivan is ahead of others at all, not sure where you get that from?

I reckon he’s the most complete Fullback currently running around in NZ. All the others have a flaw or two. Sullivan seems to have it all on a cool head ...

BB has demanded he only be considered as a 10 only and is refusing point blank to play 15 and I’m only really looking at Sullivan’s potential, he’s not there yet, he’s only played what... 3-4 games of soup rugby but he’s probably favourite to start there next year over Perofeta, imo.
There is ...

Zarn Sullivan should be nowhere near this Blues team. He’s much too competent and intelligent.

All of this is true.

Unfortunately.

Bryce Heem, try scoring machine!

Great try Christie! Brumbies tackling hahahaha

Another beasting for the Tah's against the Crusaders, 54 - 28, love the optimism of the Aussie commentaters saying it was a "good performance" by the Waratah's....ermmm they conceded 54 points at home, how is that good?

What I like about the Aussies commentators + Merhts is that they have a ...

Force robbed.

Yep, looking that way although the Canes haven’t been convincing.

Aumua took a decent shot to the head there, looked wobbly getting up...

14-6 to the Canes, making easy meters out wide, Rayasi, PUJ and Aumua looking the goods so far. 24 minutes in...

Enjoyed that 1st half! Reds usually bring on Thor in 2nd half to do the business but can’t do that this time around. I feel the ref hasn’t got a clue at scrum time.

I’m no expert but I reckon continually kicking the ball to DMac at the back is not a good idea. Why not go for touch, slow it down a bit and contest the line out just to break up play a bit. Letting the Chiefs or any other NZ team run it back at you is probably not a good strategy.

Why can’t Aussie props scrum straight?
That’s not a new question.

Maybe not but has anyone come up with an answer or is it just good ole Aussie scrum trickery?

Chiefs look too slick for the Brumbies at this stage which if I’m honest I find surprising given the travel situation of both teams.
Why can’t Aussie props scrum straight? Sio is worse than Thor.

Tahs defence is rubbish but fortunately for them the Blues are fumbling everything... games a bit of a shambles to be honest.

And Blues in again after a knock on, a fumble a few turn overs a kick into the opponents... it’s all happening.

Force started out hard but I don’t see them sticking with the Clan over the 80.

That’s beautiful rugby by the Rebs!

The plucky Blackcaps have done it again - this time topping the ODI rankings on the back of a stellar one ODI series victory in the past 12 months.

What’s this Grand Final bullshit, its the Final, nothing more, nothing less.

tbf to caleb, Rieko is inside him and he is not much of a passer , he wants to score himself most times... he has 39 tries already an at the age of 24, he might break that homophobe's record in the next 3 years

Well, Reiko is probably the best left winger in the country, only he’s playing 13. I ...

Oh bugger, we are doing match threads now?

My own fault I suppose, should have checked.

Just how good was that game? Classic Kiwi rugby. A Smith absolutely monstering Sotutu was the highlight for me, it was one of the funniest things I have seen on a rugby paddock for some time.

Yep, Jordan's been rubbish the last two games.

In contrast, George Bridge is looking very good.

not really, he scored 2 'winger' tries, nothing special.. a few years back on the old bored i mentioned how its easier for left wingers to score tries than right winger, thus why most left ...

35 minutes and Chiefs lead 7 to 5.

Tupou Vaa'i showing some great moves

Both Tupou and a hobbled Parkinson are playing well for their respective teams.

The season is actually mostly shite. The Littlest Hobo set in the Star Wars universe.

The last episode with so and so showing up in an ship is one of the best things to ever happen in Star Wars. The Mandolorian and Jon Favreau have almost single handedly saved the franchise imo ...

Mandalorian S2 Ep2 Nope nope fucking nope.

Stick with it. Ep 2 is dreadful, but it improves again quickly.

I’m in my shed this morning putting on a plug on the end of an extension lead and son’s mate comes over and says g’day, stands there for a bit watching what I’m doing and then says “So, what are you doing”?
