It’s hard to say but surely his issues are driven by CTE?

Cool, once again we have to say that foreign born is a terrible metric.

For example, Sam Underhill was born in the US, but he moved back to England aged 1.

Even if they don't move back while young, players born abroad to patriotic parents from, say, Ireland can still be raised to think of ...

Awesome band. Fantastic gig. They are in UK next. Wear earplugs.

Hermie of PR said he’d attended. Best gig of theirs he’s seen. And I imagine the others were great too.

Has to be! No, it doesn't actually.

For me it was this song. I'd grown up loving Beatles and Doors etc. but this song really blew me away when I was 13 and sparked my interest in guitars ever since. Lead ...

I played a 1946 Martin last week. They only wanted NZ$37,500 for it. Owned by a musician made famous for playing on the Grand Ole Opry. The Briarhoppers stayed together in one form or another for 8 decades.

The guitar was purchased new in 1946 ...

I hate labels, I never did manage to work out what grunge was supposed to be at the time, Teenage Fanclub, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Breeders, Dinosaur Jr?

No idea, but for me Nevermind is an absolutely awesome album, Pixies, Breeders and Sonic Youth (and others of that era) transcend genre ...

Indeed. The cover selections, the great Nirvana tunes, the acoustic vibe for a punk rock band, Kurt's performance: incredible show.

Totally agree with you both. Also check out Alice in Chains‘ MTV Unplugged, the same can be said here. Layne unfortunately already very unhealthy but ...

It's... ok. Sineads is lightyears ahead as a cover, of course.

Still, not as bad as his cover of Billie Jean.

Soundgarden had 2 x great covers on their SOMMS EP that released with Badmotorfinger. First originally by Devo, second by Rolling ...

Happy Easter, plums.

Cockers absolutely on the money here:

That makes zero sense in the context of Wayne Smith.

How about…

I doubt I’ll ever catch up with your post count on PR. Still, the match threads move at a faster pace over there. That’s about the only advantage I can think of.

I see it as Cammy above saw it.

But going by Lowe’s reaction after, I think he knew he’d scraped the deck.

It’s also a great angle of the no arms tackle. Penalty try.

Yep
There was no effort made at all to tackle Lowe
It’s a shoulder charge

I wondered why that didn't come into discussion at all at the time. This has been brought up many times now i.e. what is a defender to do if an attacker ...

Burt, just such a legend of a songwriter. RIP.

I saw Mr Bungle in Sydney in 2000 and they opened with What The World Needs Now. FNM often played Burt live as well.

Some stats that speak for themselves:

Tackles
France 271
Ireland 186

Doris: 115m gained
Penaud: 134m gained

France missed 25 odd tackles, so nearly 10%. I only caught the last 25 mins and the intensity must have dropped off the way the first half was written up. Good to see defence was ...

I guess this is how fans of anyone but Mercedes have felt for last 4 or 5 seasons.

The Red Bull is so much better than any car out there. Ferrari is incompetent, Merc is a snail and evey other car is a second slower in race trim.

You're all talking shite. How about a crazy law change on the spot that directly affected the result of a 3 test series played every 12 years.

I hate that phrase about Joubert.

Why would you hate it?
Come on Bungle …. Let’s hear you

Because I don’t think he was that good a player. Someone like Matt Burke is the very definition of a Rolls Royce of fullbacks in my mind. Everything to the highest of standards.

Was that Andre Joubert at fullback? What team was that?
World XV I think they said

92 was a centenary year for NZ rugby. Celebrated with a 3 test series against a World XV.

Who is that Kiwi commentator btw? He has been around for AB test matches since the invention of television.

Grant Nisbitt.

I don't know why he would use that term. It might have been a dogwhistle type of thing but maybe its commonplace and not frowned upon in Brazil? Its hard to gauge intent.
