        Has anyone got a live stream link to mariner4life being crucified? Asking for a friend.

        sicko!

        See this is the problem with modern life and technology. Facing his hour of reckoning, our erstwhile hero is still posting online from the wooden apparatus he's attached to. No doubt keeping instagram up to date too.

        TBH I was looking forward to seeing if the angry mob is baying. But there are only 10 people and the're wearing masks and standing 2 m apart. All a bit of a letdown really.

        As long as he's singing "always look on the bright side of life"... Not sure if Jesus would have been much good at rugby, although I suppose he was a tradie, so tougher than he was depicted.

                        @nzzp Yep, Dan Carter was named Captain but got injured in kicking practice the day before so Andrew Hore captained the side.

                          Haaaa....love it! Can't think of new team names? Just have two of each! Imagine how the table will look. Shit imagine how many games you turn up to and go to the wrong changing room.

                          The stuff about 3rd place play off makes perfect sense too.

                            Joe Moody missed a lot of tackles that night. Probably his worst performance in a black jersey.

                            I guess you haven't heard about that day Joe put on a black v-neck and proceeded to accidentally run over his neighbours cat, dropped his lunch on the floor (carpet) on the way out to the deck and then to top it all off had a sloppy shit where half of it sprayed on that top ledge bit of the bowl. Bought an instant kiwi that was a dud too.

                            This is why you didn't win the Fern Comedian award.

                              Joe Moody missed a lot of tackles that night. Probably his worst performance in a black jersey.

                              I guess you haven't heard about that day Joe put on a black v-neck and proceeded to accidentally run over his neighbours cat, dropped his lunch on the floor (carpet) on the way out to the deck and then to top it all off had a sloppy shit where half of it sprayed on that top ledge bit of the bowl. Bought an instant kiwi that was a dud too.

                              This is why you didn't win the Fern Comedian award.

                                    Watched first half. Ardie wasn't bad, but always just off at breakdown. A fit Sam may have affected a couple of turnovers, and would have been more effective covering for Ritchie M's tackling weakness, which lead to two of England's three best breaks.

                                    I still think we gave England far too easy a ride in the first 5-10 minutes. Cane's physical presence would have blunted England's attack and stopped them getting on the front foot so early.

                                    I agree, but in truth it wasn't as bad as I feared, only having seen game from one of the corners.

                                    We were certainly off the pace in first ten, but missed tackles also hurt us big. By the same token Taylor's throwing was off, which cost us two or three lineouts, which is huge for momentum. On the plus side ALB never missed Tuilagi and was busy in loose.

                                    The score at halftime was 10-0. Which on a rewatch was a bit harsh. The big factor being BBBR's horrible pass with a two on one overlap.

                                    What WAS disppointing for me was how we went off the boil at breakdown in last three minutes or so. Two turnover penalties, then another penalty, giving England three points, which at that point was against the run of play. I'd like to think Sam C would have made a difference there.

                                    Small margins.

                                      Ardie Savea is a luxury player at test level against most sides. He's dynamic, good on the run after contact on the fringes, and not bad over the ball. He'll look fantastic in loose games against Australia with their ordinary pack, or teams we are just better than.

                                      Unfortunately test rugby is at least 60 minutes of trench warfare. Mainly played between the 22s, or if it gets close to the line, in close to the ruck. It's aerial kicks, and trying to breach the gain line through force. A Savea is not suited to that game style. S Cane is perfectly suited to it.

                                      A Savea off the bench is a great use of resources, and shouldn't be viewed as a slight. S Cane should start every big test he is available for, and that makes him perfect captaincy material
