I doubt we'll be seeing the 1st game on the All Blacks channel.

I went to the 3rd test at Eden Park.

When asked at my interview with the RAF what was the best moment of your life, it was being in a pub in Cornwall with all my English mates, and many other poms, for the 1995 semi - bliss

Depending on your point of view, that vid could easily be a highlight reel for Josh Kronfield. what a player

Fuck Jonah could move. People love to crap on like "oh everyone is big now" but that man is an enormous unit and yet a few of those tries up there are touch tries, defenders couldn't get a hand on him

actually 3

Best winger ever. But you can just imagine if he played now there would be posters on here calling for him not to be selected because of "defence and high ball work"
It's not a uniquely NZ Rugby attitude, but in modern rugby there is this obsession with errors. Fuck what a player creates, you make an error, you're cooked. Some of our absolute greats of even modern times would be slated over and over on here.
I'm as guilty as anyone, but i am really trying to change. In an era again dominated by defence, i want to fall in love with players who are trying shit, whether it comes off or not. Fuck picking wingers because they have great positioning but can't absolutely skin a bloke one on one.

@mariner4life You are left to ponder how far players like Alan Hewson would have got these days.

Stupid haircut. One-handed arrogant touch-downs. Hungus. Fuck 'im off, not AB material.

@taniwharugby so funny, the sand piles for kicking, so little shape, kicking the leather off, line out scrums, piles of bodies every ruck, instant scrums, not even mentioning the bench in the line ups, love it. First try was an absolute cracker
