Nepia it was on ch 507. They had been showing the games on 503 but because it clashed with the OZ v Italy game they moved us to the viewers choice channel. <br><br><br>

<p>Cheers. Is that in the HD channels section or the other section? I had a look up and down but didn't see it but maybe I didn't go high enough.</p> -

Our props were shit PH. Nothing to do with weather. Besides it often rains in NZ. <br><br>
Weather excuses are for the convicts across the ditch. -
Only thing that grinds my gears more than water dropping from the sky at a rugby game, is watching young guys celebrating like they've really enjoyed their achievement.

In case it wasn't clear, or people thought I was being sarcastic, I actually meant what I said about NZ fans re weather.

Ah, I thought you were being sarcastic. -

In the non-HD channel section. Go to 507 then press red button. I think there were 3 other sports events on that time to choose from. -

NZ fans can't complain given we are the land of the long grey and white cloud.... -

Not sure what happens in the other .1% - this yellow dot appears in the sky sometimes and I don't have to wear my vest.

<p>I don't have much of a problem with our tight 5 at under 20 level being behind the rest as far as scrumming goes ~ this is something they work on for the next 5 years and we have a situation like lat night where All Black forwards can draw and pass to put guys in space.</p>

I used to get on my mum's case about this. If she had to migrate to England in the 50s from an island to the west, sentencing me to decades of visiting said island, an island where the people have a deep love of music and stout, and speak in lilting accents, why couldn't it have been Jamaica? -

<p>I'd rather that it had been that we were witty, intelligent and better looking than all others, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. :)</p> -

Thought Jordan trainor was poor in last game so would have liked Lowe to start<br><br><br>

<p>I thought there were rules that we had to start each of our players once, and there are a a few that we haven't started. Perhaps it's just that everyone needs to get some game time?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought Paranihi held up his end of the scrum reasonably well until Fidow gave in, so would have liked him to start ahead of Johnstone. Also disappointed not to see Hapauki Moala-Liava'a get a start.</p>
