@Chris-B there are a few periods i reckon would have been fucking fun on here

1999
2003
Cantablacks would have been bloody good too.

I would have been reading, laughing, and chucking grenades left right and centre

A very amusing thing about the Cantablacks, was that the Fern did a position-by-position poll to pick the team and picked - the Cantablacks!

I know this is correct, because I've pointed it out many times before!

Didn't stop Mitch being hurled into a pot of boiling oil for doing it. Especially when he did it again!

fuck off they did. No way Tana wasn't starting at centre.

Tana was part of the Cantablacks.

Edit: Not Broomhall, though. He was a source of outrage.

didn't that wingnut Robinson get picked over him at one point?

Yes - looks like Robinson got picked for the first 3N test vs the Boks - Tana was on the bench though and came back to start the next test.

Mils didn't first get picked till 2003 - but, Cully was fullback for the Cantablacks.

Chris B.

Actually, the first Cantablack team must have been for the first test against Ireland - and had just Tana at centre and Howlett on the wing.

Leon was fullback! (Was Cully still recovering from his injury?).

Jordie Barrett is the most exciting young players in global Rugby, fast, rugged and skilful. His versatility and impact off the bench will be great assets for the ABs in the Rugby World Cup.

If that is true it does instantly make it rather more exciting. How many players do you reckon he is?

clearly there is two. The one the Hurricanes fans watch, and the one everyone else watches

Proof that Hurricanes players are by far the most victimised players on this board.

And a source of millinery nutrition for some...

Worst winger in 50 years for the All Blacks. Not my fault Henry picked 5 wingers that year.

Even by their own supporters in one particular case when it comes to loose forwards.

Cross country? (Kind of apt given how far from the track this thread has wandered)

To get it back on track: what the fuck are the coaches thinking moving our best 15 to 10?

Nepia

@Chris-B said in All Blacks vs Tonga:

@mariner4life 2007 was nothing compared to 2003.

Field Marshall Haig would have been quite proud of engineering that.

Can you imagine Nepia being here at the time that Cullen was actually being dropped? There were some Wellingtonians of similar ilk, at the time.

I think their heads actually exploded.

Jaysus, Cullen was only the tip of the iceberg with old domehead. I assume you would have been ~~trolling~~ defending Bitchell back then similar to your heroic defence of the Hammettuer?

998 was brutal alright. ABs literally slaughtered by the Romans masquerading as Italy.

@Nepia HUGE fan!

Between "the journey", Cantablacks, and the 2002 EOYT random selections leading into 2003; 2003 on here was epic, if for entirely the wrong reasons....

I started reading the Fern around the end of the 2003 SR season and the level of vitriol and finger pointing towards good honest hardworking Crusader and Cantab players was on another level. Rieko got nothing on that

Add in vitriol and finger pointing towards open minded and knowledgeable Cantab posters and you are describing the Fern today.
