    Maybe it is in UK media? I am certainly aware of having read it before. Still a pointless use of the word but so is learnings

      Don't start me.

      What was wrong with lesson, or even lessons? A perfectly serviceable word.

      Fuckwits everywhere, mutter, mutter. You'll find me in the GOM thread.

        @machpants I have seen defection used in that context before, but I think it was during the M10 Cup last year on Stuff.

              @nzzp oh I agree, just saying it has been used by Stuff before, so unsure where they have picked up this new meaning for it from.

                  Pierce, Choat, Robinson, Nock, Faiane, Narawa to start next game.

                    Not in UK. Mind you when someone is grassed in the tackle they are said to hit the floor, rather than ground.

                      I am starting to see what others having been seeing about Papalii. I do wonder what position will be his best in the long run, especially at AB level. He seems a cross between a 7 and a 6 to me.

                      Great guy to have in a RWC squad. Like a cross between Kaino and Cane. Wouldn't be upset to see him start at 6/7 if Cane or whoever the 6 is was injured. If he goes ok at 8, he could take Ardie's bench spot when he leaves after the RWC...

                        Pierce, Robinson and Choat? Won't happen. 2/3 maybe with another on the bench.

                          Darry is more likely to come in than Pierce.

                          I'd have Kneepkens in 14.

                            Kneepkens is class. Heem was fine, but Kneepkens seems like he has more magic about his play.

                                  hopefully this was a learning conservative selection. We've only got to do two things to win the comp remember

                                  1. get to final
                                  2. win final

                                  No chance of a home final now, so you may as well beat the crusaders once only. Kind of like France v the ABs in RWC; it only takes one good game

                                          Wonder how many more reckless cleanouts he can do in that time?
                                          10?

                                          any word on the judiciary from last night for Ofa? I haven't seen any media about it, and nothing on the judiciary page that I can see
