    Reason is the stopped clock of rugby journalism. By default he will be right once every 24 times

    or twice unless digital

    I caught a bus to RWC Final in 2011 and sat in front of Reason and Deaker.

    Imagine the most loud mouthed, out of touch, reactionary, bigoted, smug old fucktards that you can. Then double down. Twice.

    This wasn't to an audience or as click bait. This was who they were. I think people give them too much credit as wind up merchants. No matter how outrageous their Mr Angry stuff I reckon it's who they truly are. Oh and they didn't have a clue about the rules of the game - and all poly players are thick!

    @dogmeat Very similar to my experience with the Walrus when he and a few other UK scribes were sitting at the table next to us at a pub before the Wales-Fiji game in 2011. We were all watching the NZ-Canada game on the big screen and I could clearly hear their comments.

        Possibly hindered him more than helped.

          Reason is the stopped clock of rugby journalism. By default he will be right once every 24 times. However even when he is right, his style is really quite spiteful.

          And he is a fluffybunny.

          I agree with a lot of what he says. Far in excess of 1 in 24. More like 3 in 4.

          I guess Dan has no respect for me. Oh how will I go on.

          Where did I say that Major, you really making up stuff, I didn't say you couldn't or shouldn't read them, just saying if you quote his write up to back something, I think it lessens the quality of argument.
          I didn't think you were the type to twist a pretty innocent statement so much,, but that's ok.

          It’s a play on words.

          Since Trump, the world has been obsessed more on who is saying it as opposed to what is being said.

          I dislike it. As a good point is a good point, regardless of who says it. And I’ll happily quote Reason if I agree with him or disagree with him.

            No problem with you reading Reason, as I said I chose not to and he's not someone I personally don't respect enough to think any argument of his would sway my opinion. I don't judge you or did I even indicate this statement made by you because of it. "I guess Dan has no respect for me. Oh how will I go on" is anyway valid,
            That's not a play on words, it's completely outside of what I said and you know it.
            But I repeat if that make you feel better, that's ok.

                  And yet the drums somehow seem to be beating towards only Sam Cane walking the plank. The NZRU is rotten to the core, starting at the top with Mark Robinson.

                    The beating drums have only scraps to feed off so are going for an easy target to claim they got something right.

                      Sigh. You said you have slightly lower opinion of those who quote him etc … so I say you have no respect for me …. Which implies you (like others) have such little respect for me to start with …..

                      Anyway, point stands. Message more important than the messenger.

                          Since Mark Robinson has taken over, NZR in its entirety has lurched from one shitstorm to another. He has a reverse Midas touch. Everything he goes near turns to shit.

                            Since Mark Robinson has taken over, NZR in its entirety has lurched from one shitstorm to another. He has a reverse Midas touch. Everything he goes near turns to shit.

                            Really starting to question the competence of the people involved in the selection process and anyone who gave them a positive reference.

                              @dogmeat Very similar to my experience with the Walrus when he and a few other UK scribes were sitting at the table next to us at a pub before the Wales-Fiji game in 2011. We were all watching the NZ-Canada game on the big screen and I could clearly hear their comments.

                                @antipodean agreed. The board isn't inspiring confidence or the ability to learn from their, um, learnings. Surely there is a contract lawyer on the board? I see, marketing and finance: https://www.nzrugby.co.nz/about-nzr/governance/our-board/

                                Looks like one lawyer on the exec: https://www.nzrugby.co.nz/about-nzr/who-we-are/

                                  Am I right in saying that the Allblacks are playing Scotland in Murrayfield on November 13th and on the same day they are sending an Allblacks XV to London to play the Barbarians coached by Razor and O'Gara.....

                                  Fucking clusterfuck if true.
