@mariner4life Sez you!
You don't have to go very far back through the threads, to see people clanging the door shut on the Beauden vs Richie debate as Beaudy runs in four or five tries versus Oz.
not me!!
Mate BB could lead us to back to back RWC wins and you'd still proclaim he was shit. And continue your plan to murder him and his entire family.
Weren’t they shot at once before ?
Is there a connection?

Quite possibly. Was the attempted shooter wearing triathlon kit and a dildo hanging out of his mouth?

Never mind losing with no attack, at least we're getting good at virtue signalling...
I wish we wouldn't. A bloke gets assaulted for whatever reason so we just have to show how much we care.
Something little in my AB fanaticism psyche died today...

Don't Muslims hate gays?
Thank fuck SBW isn't playing cos I'm sure he'd tape up his laces and we'd get 27 separate Stuff articles about it.....all part of the brand awareness to try and fool us into thinking he doesn't totally suck arse as a player now.

@mn5 Except he's never said anything anti gay - that's the Christian Folau's domain.
Yeah he hasn't said anything publicly himself, which is smart if he wants to protect brand SBW. He is good friends with and often praised a radical Islamic preacher that describes homo sexuals as worse than animals though. Cost him a sponsorship deal with BMW.

Are the Wallabies wearing the laces or are they scared of pissing off Izzy?

This post is some of your finest work.
You can just imagine the team meeting.....
David Pocock: come on guys, let's get behind Gareth.....
Izzy Folau: no guys, homosexuality is an affront to God....
Adam Ashley Cooper and Kurtley Beale : ( sit quietly in the corner furiously tindering/bumbling )
Fuck, is it any wonder they've lost as many as they have this year?

Light rain in Rome this morning, but should stop before kickoff.

Italy are very much the whipping boy of the Six Nations these days. Anything less than a 40+ win would be another poor result for the All Blacks.

May have missed it above, but match not on Sky Sports. Maybe Premier Sports? Anyone know?
You can pick up Permier quite easily for £9.99 - a quick phone call or by visiting website.
Bloody sky sports though - don't know why I pay my subscription... -

David Pocock: come on guys, let's get behind Gareth..... I did once and everything turned out dandy. ( jazz hands gesture)
Fixed?

Actually I think on this occasion the All Blacks wearing rainbow laces is appropriate and a great gesture.
Last week in Cardiff, Gareth Thomas, a former captain of the British and Irish Lions, a Welsh legend and a much respected opponent was attacked in the street for no other reason than his sexuality. He was a victim of a hate crime.
The All Blacks are wearing rainbow laces in solidarity with Gareth Thomas and all other people who face discrimination and violence for who they are. Well done, the ABs.

Nope not me,
FFS politics and homosexuality should keep right out of sports. I don't agree with this. Let rugby be rugby without turning it into a human right campaign for every group.

@sparky Agree 100% A measure of the man -
Former Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas has issued a heartfelt response to the All Blacks' announcement that they will wear rainbow laces in Saturday's Test match against Italy at the Stadio Olimpico.Thomas, who had already thanked the French and Welsh rugby administrators, quickly responded via his own Twitter account.I wish I could put in words what this means.

— Gareth Thomas (@gareththomas14) November 23, 2018"I wish I could put in words what this means," Thomas said.
Thomas posted a video on social media the day after the attack, thanking the police and revealing that he had opted to deal with his attacker using restorative justice.The former full-back said he chose to talk to the perpetrator, a 16-year-old boy, about the harm he had caused, "because I thought they could learn more that way than any other way".

I certainly agree that Sport and Party Politics shouldn't mix. Generally I loathe PC virtue signalling too.
Last week's attack on Gareth Thomas makes it different though. Gareth has been a great friend to New Zealand Rugby and is a personal friend of some of the All Blacks coaches and players. A Rugby legend who is attacked and abused in the street deserves the support of one of the world's most famous Rugby teams.
I am glad that Gareth isn't badly hurt. Hopefully the kid who attacked him will learn from the incident, do a bit research about Gareth and what a hard bastard and a fantastic player he was on the Rugby field.
