@kiwiinmelb Theres this complete fuckstick hosting 7s coverage. He knows only what the teleprompter tells him and when venturing beyond the safety of a script things get dicey. The other night when discussing Samoa and Tonga he said it was both countries national sport. He had no idea why there was the type of pre game hoopla that occured. Benji alluded to it later on but this guys is a doofus. He always refers to Laurie Daley as Loz and Benji Marshall as Benj. He is the type of tv presenter Ron Burgundy was based on.

@kiwiinmelb when I was about 8 or 9 I got to be ball boy for a North Auckland v PNG league game on Okara Park, also did it for another game they played up here another time but was on Jubilee Park, they were very much like the Fijians in that they always seem to play with a smile on thier face.

Gold medal to Italy after hearing that magnificent rendition of the National Anthem by a guy with a wonderful tenor voice.

heaps of passion in the hakas

[Nepia]

Good Haka boogie off - a few of the Kiwis clapped at the end. NAS looked angry when the Tongans advanced.

[Nepia]

2-0 Tonga as they surprisingly took a shot at goal for a a penalty 5 metres out.

Is the ref not gonna call drop balls today? Looks like a lot of red and white in the crowd

[canefan]

We looked good on attack there, went close

[Nepia]

I’m now wondering who would win in a punch up between Taumalolo and Taupau after their stand up arm holding tackle.

[canefan]

Hurrell gets a taste of kiwi

[canefan]

Beautiful try by our boys. Johnson hits a stinger for the extra 2

[mimic]

needs more australian commentary i reckon.. where is the origin type build up?

[Higgins]

Did I really see a big right hook haymaker from the red number 17 there?

[mimic]

wow.. NAS stopped Murdoch in his tracks..

[Higgins]

This is building to a massive all in brawl coming up soon.

[Nepia]

Best thing Tupou ever does on a league field and it's called back for a forward pass.

[Higgins]

How the hell was that try not awarded?

@mimic said in NRL 2017:

I think the opposite, this game has all the hype on its own. It doesn't need the fake origin build up bullshit.

Monty seems to have switched back to being a Kiwis fan this week.

[canefan]

If the try is given the Tongan are going to start going for head shots. He's not held it should be a try

[Nepia]

The hyphens have been going well JWH, RTS and DWZ - and NAS has been angry.

Try to RTS.
