@mariner4life Could that actually have been a compliment?

which bit?

About BBBR ... I was wondering if that could be a compliment in the Walrus' addled brain?

if i wanted to say someone was over rated without actually saying it, i would call them fawned over. Compare that to some of the language about other players. It's a great wind-up line, i tip my hat.

Well, I thought he'd be the Walrus' type of player, hard arse like Johnson, although probably displays way too much flair for him.

Bones

@nepia ermmm who does he play for?

Bovidae

The Walrus probably has a poster of Maro Itoje on his bedroom wall.

Billy Tell

Looks like Jones succeeded. Must be ten or so posts discussing his article. Stuff and NZ Herald rigorously scrutinise each article to look for talking points. And Gifford had a go too. The guy never fails.

Nepia

@mariner4life @Bones Clearly I must be drunk.

there is fuck all else to talk about. There is a Bledisloe this weekend, and i only knew that because i saw an ad yesterday. There is fucking zero build up. Both teams are in their bullshit "talk down" mode. We may as well have a discussion about that article, or i have to go do work

Yep it's just Jones being Jones,and by being a clever prick he is actually saying that this year 6N is best because they have teams rated 2-3-4 in the world, so he obviously is saying RC was superior when Aus and SA were 2-3 or 2-4 even.

MN5

The fluffybunny didn't even mention Scotland!

I hope he dies horribly....and soon.

Irrelevant team in being irrelevant shocker.

kiwiinmelb

Anyone know what sort of crowd they are expecting this week ?

Only monday , but seems like a low key build up

antipodean

They're still advertising tickets!

akan004

@kiwiinmelb 50-60k

Siam

I feel for actual walruses whenever this Jones fluffybunny spews his dribble.

I mean fuck what have those poor aquatic mammals done to get lumped in with bombastic prick?

Last I heard they were hoping for 55k - 60k. Last year didnt crack 55k so hopefully it tops that.

JC

@bovidae yeah, I saw that. I wondered though, is it really true that Liam Squire is “probably the toughest man in New Zealand rugby?”

Bones

@jc Brodie, Sam, Sam and Kieran say hi.
