I definitely do not want the ABs to have a horror run but I can see the logic of that being a great way to get rid of Foster at the end of his two-year contract and install Razor. The All Blacks will have to lose virtually every match this year for Foster not to get a contract extension at year end...

The caterpillar ruck, and in particular today in the Wales game, the halfback walking past 3 players to then dribble the ball through their legs with his foot to the back. Makes no sense that he is allowed to do that

You got grankids in J'ville huh NZer, my youngest grankid lives there, though she 22yo so................ Shit, if you were born in 54, someone started the breeding process bloody early yep Mate, I was born in 54, oldest kid is 48, so maybe started early, (mind you come from a family of 18 kids so ...

Are conditions hard for ODI cricket or is this a touring side not adjusted vs a bowling unit that goes alright at the moment

Saw a headline about Taylor being out but had no idea the series actually started this weekend.

Good chance for Conway to get more international experience and Jamieson to get his mojo back

Think the trailing boat in both races end up with crap air so end up having to sail lower and further. Interesting question from pj Montgomery in the press conference, asked spithill if he thought they'd ended up in their own wind shadow. Goes to show how much these boats disrupt air in the light co...

Apparently wind getting up toward 17 on course, whatever happens it will happen fast

O'Keefe will O'Keefe Open the other eye, Kirifi ran in to him and fell over. The man is a dairy farmer, milking it. Perhaps it was different on the TV, but at the ground O'Keefe appeared to spend most of the time refereeing only one team. Amongst other things, he missed a late tackle on Mo'unga tha...

So Tahs vs Chiefs who wins?

Back to being the 90s Canes.
Deffo favourites for the spoon.

The chiefs want a word

Also what do the players get paid for a lions tour vs a one off international?

The max time off thing i think is good and better than just stopping the clock at every scrum.

Also the time limit of teams to form up should be enforced, same as lineouts- stop the team meetings, get there, make a call and get the ball in

Fakatava still hasn't made it to a mirror or a barber

I want to see the back of Stoinis. I still have nightmares about his century in the ODI at Eden Park five years ago. That was just the eden Park marketing department to make sure all games go down to the wire. I hope They did their job. Unfortunately they seem to have gone on holiday every super ru...

Almost an interesting second race of the day.

Big differences at this stage vs earlier and even back to pre Christmas, these guys don't come off the foils anymore. That avenue of getting back in the race seems well and truly gone

MSRGA doesn't have the same ring to it. Maybe MRGA, really rolls off the tongue and gives the impression the speaker is a genius

Adam Milne & Jimmy Neesham also sold for the comparatively paltry figures of approx $550,000 and $80,000 respectively. Still not bad for a couple of months playing cricket. Surprised neesham is that low given how important to nz he has been this season - although there are a probably a lot of c...

Just read a bit more. Sounds like a strict lockdown. Pretty much what we have over here. So it sounds like businesses can only do remote working and only essential shops open. Wfh if you can, otherwise go to work as long as you can socially distance of 1m. Any customer interaction has to be contact...

Just read a bit more. Sounds like a strict lockdown. Pretty much what we have over here. The measures in Auckland require its 1.7 million residents to stay at home except for essential shopping and work. Schools and non-essential shops will close, and entry in and out of the city restricted. So it ...

People complaining about getting woken up early when its more than 2 hours later than when your child wakes you up. Every. Single. Morning

Also getting woken up by kids in the morning

Fuck it, he's 100, served in the war and raised 30 million quid for the NHS. He deserves a beach break to end it

Unfortunate that SA and Au don't get to play, but in terms of Australia missing out because of a slow over rate. Couldn't happen to a bunch of nicer guys

Rts is a fantastic athlete and think will be hell of a lot better than Benji, if he came over a couple seasons ago think he could have had a fantastic international career. As it is I can see him as an 11 or a non kicking 15... The guy can make things happen and seems to have great head on his shoul...

Just listened to "How to Make a Country" which was very good. How do you guys listen to these? Do you put time aside and just listen or is it on in the background while you work etc? I can't really justify sitting around listening to them at the moment and would probably prefer to read a ...

Can't see us winning 8n India do wish that we had at least a 3 match series - was last one on England 1-1?

Test matches confirmed for England and india- again 2 tests- good news is that the home tests were not the usual financial black hole

Feels bad given the post above, but really excited got 3 rounds at 3 different courses this week. Hoping to break 100 for first time, last round was pre Christmas and got to 102 Don’t be. You’re lucky, well apart from the 100 bit. Fun fact, seems I have forgotten how to play golf- one more round to...

Thats good news.

Having been a long time supporter my first thought is we'll give up a pretty big lead. However looking at their performances over last couple years they should get 350

I had 260 tabs open

Its not that hard to find the porn again surely

Good dog by Pakistan- might be misremembering but sure there was a game there recently where the movement settled down bit day 2 which made it harder to bat on as the ball didn't go past the edge as often.

Will be impressed if black caps get a decent lead

Have used the holiday to sift through a few disc world novels, perfect accompaniment to summer at the batch.

I'm between reading a gentleman in Moscow which was very good. And a mindless Scandinavian thriller The Chestnut man

Temporarily excited, but then I remember we still have Foster and COVID

At least one of those things is likely to leave us undefeated, unfortunately its not the one in the coaches box

Blues show that their recruiting has worked and perform well to win super rugby Aotearoa and the trans tasman comp. Auckland to win the shield and the mitre 10. All blacks, where to start? We get full competitions in with all teams able to play at home with crowds. Hoping that they bring a level of ...

Why is Santner is the side? He already had the uniform. That’s the only thing I can think of. The fact that it is the fourth innings and he has currently bowled less than a guy with two broken toes says a lot. He's a left handed spinner who no longer spins the ball and he wears glasses - he's as cl...

We learned that the selectors feel there is such a lack of depth that they will shoe horn who they think the best players are no matter the position.

12... ALB 13...Goodhue 22... Laumape I used to agree, but actually think the other way works better as I think Goodhue may lack pace for 13, so could be suited to one 12. I thought during Super Aotearoa Goodhue was the best 12 on show, Laumape had one real good game, but generally I rated Goodhue b...

Good to see extras not being such a heavy scorer compared to the windies series.

Hope Conway makes up for his drop when he gets a chance to bat
