@Bones two points
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"
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

I love him but you can’t argue with Dane Coles’ sh#thousery in this vid.

Any act toward Nick White or Sexton should be a free pass though.

@Canes4life Favourite player when playing for ABs (He is only a shithouse when playing for the Canes
). Just a genuine character. Was quietly saddened by his use of "learnings", "take it on board" and other Foster-era soundbites recently though. -
@Canes4life TBF, there were quite a few players being shithouses to Coles as well in that video.

I'd argue the greater shithousery is the refereeing by Soccer Mum Karens. They've ruined the sport.

I watched the 1987 RWC final last night, which I had recorded when Sky broadcast all the NZ-France RWC matches leading up to this year's opening match. Rugby was a different game back then. The forwards controlled the scrum engages and didn't waste 30 s doing it, rucking was allowed and there were plenty of mistakes from both teams. The match stats wouldn't make for happy reading.
Fox missed an easy penalty in the 1st half, and both sideline conversions, but we think of him as a goal kicker who never missed. The lineouts were a free-for-all where you were just as likely to win the oppositions throw-in as your own. I had forgotten there was a large temporary stand that was erected outside Eden Park. And to confirm this was a different era one of the French management was happily (nervously) smoking while watching the game.

A great AB performance with the Oz commentary.
