So as a place to live it's great if you don't mind travelling somewhere much better?

I'm sure Hamilton has some good things.
Hope you got enough cherries picked.

what the fuck are you even talking about?

Cherry picking an argument, also known as the fallacy of incomplete evidence, is a logical fallacy where someone selectively presents only the evidence or data that supports their claim while ignoring any contradictory evidence or data that would undermine it. This selective presentation creates a misleading, biased, and incomplete picture, making an argument seem stronger or more valid than it actually is, even when the cherry-picked evidence itself is true.

Thrice daily flights to Bali

This seems to stand out if we're comparing... what does Hams have?

If you think flying shitstar with a bunch of bogans to Bali is a positive then I guess you might like it.

I tend not to judge a city as being attractive to live, by how easily I can escape it to somewhere else.

I live in London, that's the main reason for being here. Never been to Bali, I do like me some bogan though.

I live in Perth and love it so far, and yes, it's far easier traveling the world from there than where I previously was in Christchurch. Beautiful city and the stadiums are nice and close to me.

London isn't quite analogous. In about the same time it takes to get from Perth to Bali you can fly as far as Morrocco or Turkey.

If the opportunity was available to a young player who wanted to play SR, neither Hamilton not Perth would be high on my list. And I know something about residing in a less than desirable location purely for employment.

Still from the Chiefs Instagram video, sneak peek at some merch for next year, assuming the home jersey will be similar as I've heard all the NZ teams are doing 1996 styled jerseys.

[Bovidae]

They are having a big discount on current merch this Sunday.

Had a yarn with George Dyer after the game tonight, he said he's re-signing with the Chiefs and not going to Munster.

[cgrant]

This is good news !

When extending his contract, Nic White complimented the force and his family praised the outdoor lifestyle. It's got appeal beyond scuba, albalone and crays, wreck diving, and traditional watersports too, big for kitesurfing etc.

Good to see him stay for another year after the French rumours. The selection of the back three in 2026 will be hotly contested.

Was somebody looking for wingers good under the high ball?

not the AB coaches, no...

Caught Tepaea Cook-Savage at the Waikato Women's game just now. He's signed for the Chiefs next year.

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah Watching his partner play. A close game in the end. Why hasn't he played that often this season?

Kyle Brown will be in the WTG according to this paywalled article:
