Does anyone else hate hearing Robbie Deans?

@Bones I don’t care. It’s a stupid system.

Haha sure it is. Lavanini should have been commended.

I'm surprised that Nigel Owens didn't count the fact it was on Owen Farrell as a mitigating factor

@old-samurai-jack Not sure if you really want your wife to be known as a slapper though...

Jesus Christ I'm sick of him on the wing

Why? He's a far better right wing than Jordie?

They can't afford to fire Foster because of his severance package... Giving him a lifetime supply of KFC would bankrupt us.

Is it just me or is Sky's post match discussion just blowing smoke up all the All Blacks arses? Regardless of how players play they always talk about how amazing they are.

"Ginger running from the sun, looking for shade"

Is that the best post game interview comment ever?

I know we have a bit of a laugh giving Bridge stick but seriously if he can’t make any ground in a game like this it is time that the selectors took note.

He's not even on the field?

His best position

Gotta say, really feel sorry for Akira. Was looking good, just staying in his channel and making really good contact.

Can he come back on as a replacement since he went off for a front row card replacement?

No

3. 20. If a front-row player is sent off, and the team cannot continue with contested scrums with players already on the field, then the team nominates another player to leave the playing area to enable an available front-row player to come on. The nominated player may act as a replacement.

I.e. Yes he can.

Knock ons must go forward.

It's 2021 knock ons can identify as backwards.

@chris said in All Blacks vs Fiji:

The team selected for next week is going to be very interesting.

First name on the sheet:

11. Bridge

"Yes ref, this is definitely a serious injury. This spray will put his fractured shin back together"

Mine was better but yours got an upvote.

Story of my ( fern ) life.

Nah, his one looks better.

I’ll cut you some slack cos you’re new here….but I’d like to point out there’s a thread for hawt babes. Check it out.

Shit, that's where I thought I was. Was about to say the recent ones had been pretty atrocious.

Why is before 2020 not an option?

@Yeetyaah said in Chiefs v Blues:

Fuck me I'm sick of McKenzie. He gets the ball, hops and skips, gets nailed, turns over.

That's only half the time. The other half is:
He gets the ball, hops and skips, hospital passes to someone else who gets nailed, turns over.

I hate office birthday celebrations. A bunch of people singing a shit song half-heartedly to justify getting a piece of shitty cake afterwards.

I’ve been lucky that in my last three workplaces we have had awesome cake makers and no singalongs.

My minion two jobs ago makes awesome old school cakes (banana cake, chocolate etc) and she still makes me one for my birthday now. One of the girls at my current job is a fancy cake baker so we get these for everyone’s birthday.

Sorry for going against the grain of the thread.

Showoffs. I really fucken hate showoffs.

All we need now is some piston wristed gibbon to say his wife likes sex.

Your wife likes sex... just not with you.

Sorry, had to be done.

@ACT-Crusader said in Blues v Highlanders:

@Bones I’ll say. He’s clearly emotional, but the interviewer wants to keep asking questions???

Even if we all know he's going to be quite emotional tonight, it's better if the interviewer lets him bring that up himself. Rather than the first question being "So your granddad died today..."

How can you blow time off, ask players to move, then say you see it on the ground after a minute?

@stargazer Yeah, but the rule has to be this way cause the officials can't tell if it's because of injury or "injury".
