@Tim I think the loss of Crotty had an awful lot to do with our stuttering back play.

The thing that really pissed me off was towards the end of the 3rd test and while in a fantastic attacking position they decided to go a Dagg crash ball. That summed up the stupidity on display in that test. All respect to the Lions but we should have won that easily, and in spite of the filthy cheese eating surrender monkey masquerading as a ref.

This thread is far less pornographic than the title suggests.
Probably a little confusing for our Canadian friends also.
No one really has Canadian friends do they?
Like the old quiz game - name 10 famous Canadians, only the bloody Trudeau lot have made that one a little easier.
Bieber, Shania, Shatner, Celine, Joni, Cohen, Neil, Drake, Jordan B. Petersen, and, ummm, ooooh, one more, okay, Gretzky.
John Candy, Pamela Anderson, Michael J Fox, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling, Racheal McAdams, Jim Carey, James Cameron, Elon Musk, Keanu Reaves, Matthew Perry, Mike Myers, Kim Cattrall, Dan Ackroyd, Chong from Cheech and Chong, Keifer Sutherland.
Massive overachievers in Comedy and Music although for everything after Cohen, Young & Guess Who they have a lot to answer for (Lavigne, Morrisette, Nickelback, Drake, Buble, Dion, Snow's Informer etc etc).

I thought Emmanuelle Charpentier was from Belgium, but she's French.
Rubens and Magritte were famous painters.

Rubens was born in Germany. Mother took him to Antwerp when he was 12 after his father died.
Famous Belgians and no one has mentioned Audrey fucking Hepburn
Also Eddie Merck and the two tennis players from a few years back Clijsters and Henin. The guy that scored two goals yesterday Lukaku
Canadians aren't really a nationality are they? Just seppos with manners?

It could be the missed penalty, but I'm pretty sure the 'kick' referred to in the book is the missed touch. I could be wrong though!
That is 'the kick', but there were plenty of howlers including that 10 minutes.
Jegga said NZ castigated him over one kick, they didn't. They didn't even castigate him.
Where the fuck were you in 2010 and 2011? Clearly not in NZ.
Good read, bit of a pity they picked out the most obvious bit but I guess that's to be expected. Might have to buy it.
You'd hope the dickheads who gave him shit eventually took a look in the mirror and stopped being dicks but probably not.
Saying he wasn't up to AB standard and they wanted him dropped isn't castigating him, nor is saying he was primarily responsible for blowing that game.
Watch Weight of the Nation they dig up as much archival footage as they can and as cutting as it gets is Richard Loe saying something to the effect of 'that's it, he isn't the answer'. Radio Sport calls were all along the same lines - no one was saying he should have his contract ripped up, nor Donald be sent home from the tour (I wanted Slade to replace the injured Sivivatu though) or worse. If they did I would love to see it.
Contrast that with what Ted got after 2007 - front page calling for him to be guillotined, the drivel Deaker and co went on. That is much closer to castigation.
Obviously can't speak for the odd drunk idiot he ran into - but at that point it's more about the individual than the nation.
It makes for a better story, but if you can't say a player played poorly on their 15th chance then we may as well pack up and give it away. He isn't the first AB to play poorly and get called out on it, Jonah got it on debut as a teenager FFS.
Uh, what? "Watch Weight of the Nation." Why? It was only 7 years ago, I don't need to watch a 90 minute documentary to remind me of what happened (which was barely even covered in it anyway). It wasn't quite as bad as what Henry got in 2007 (and for years afterwards by some) but it was pretty close. It went on for months and was pathetic.

Not watch the whole thing - the compilation of media reaction to Donald's performance. The worst comment is that "he isn't the answer".
It makes for a fun story and guys like Sumo, Mulligan and McOnie love pumping Donald's story up - but beaver was no more thrust into the wilderness than guys like Jarred Hoeata and co who just weren't up to All Black standard.
