The Silver Fern

Aaron Smith's DNA was also found on the jersey after it was taken into a fitting room by one of the girls from the shop.

Santner in this test is one of the outstanding individual performances in New Zealand sport. A superstar effort against the best in the world.

Yeah I'm firmly of the opinion that changing our way of life means the terrorists have won, but fuck surely 48 hours of shellshock (for want of a better term) needs to be taken into account, not least for the huge number of people for whom life has literally ground to a halt. There is no-one in this city who doesn't know someone personally devastated by loss.

I was disappointed initially, but on reflection this game was the very next day.

You buy a Subaru Leone, and it serves you well for a decade and you put 190k on it, and then you sell it to the guy down the road when the CVs are going to break.

Even if you think hes a douche, you still get a little kick out of seeing it drive around.

Eyes started straight in front.

The suspense is killing me

"...and as the streams met, so did their eyes..."

Yeeah obviously we had to wet a little bit of powder at some stage or whatever the analogy, which is a bit of a concern.

Players now "proven at this level":
Mo'unga
Reece
Bridge

And fuckin' go Kieran Read, MOM surely, those eye sockets had a whole new crazy bloody hunger tonight, looked like a leader except for when he didn't do enough to calm down Dane Coles.

Nice to see Beauden getting at least one of the hard kicks
A Smith v TJP about equal still for me
ALB was everywhere but could get more direct
Thoughts and Prayers to Mo'unga

Wallabies obviously shit the bed.

With a bit of luck and a change of coach, this year The Blues could finish as high as 11th.

ALMOST feel sorry for Auckland Rugby supporters right now.

@Bovidae said in It’s Razor. Robertson New All Blacks coach.:

This place will be fun if we get a repeat of the Cantablacks of the Mitchell/Deans era. There might be some TSF favourites on the outer.

If you're lucky I might start posting again.

Today I was trying to explain the situation to some post-millennial staff of mine, and was told it was clearly an example of "Cancel Culture", an online/social media phenomenon where spurious manufactured outrage is used as a form of harassment in itself.

So I learned something new, which is nice.

@Rocky-Rockbottom said in Crusaders v Chiefs (SF):

Bugger. The brave warrior Chiefs, finally felled by the jammy cantabs.

Great crowd. Looked to be well over 100 people there.

Just one man’s opinion but I thought Ian Smith did a GREAT job, in the absence of fellow fluffer TJ, at keeping Izzy Dagg’s bumhole thoroughly lubricated for the entire duration of the match with a phalange of deep ranging tongue action thrusts.

A mighty Wharepaku falls in the garden of Tane. I'm sure your awesome post will get lots of upvotes.

Can't explain the shit crowd, I was at a packed AMI when it was minus four for an Irish test and all it took was two smuggled hipflasks of Jamiesons for us to ignore it. Soft kids these days, just put on thermals and a merino and a puffer jacket and two pairs of socks and gloves and a wooly hat and eight little bottles of Two Tracks 14% Pinot Noir and you'll be fine. FYI it was eleven degrees and sunny at 2:35pm today.

Complaining about the commentators isn't talking about Sport, yes boy.

Stop yer whinging jealous pig islanders, a fucking fantastic result. Being hard to win is the entire point of the shield, if you want it to change hands every week than why don't you make your own shitty trophy just for your flaky inconsistent shithouse amateurs.

The first time the shield's been home in my sons' lifetime, when's the parade?

@no-quarter

Really clear plan and they’ve played to it. I’ve been super impressed by Mo’unga, who’s looked 100% comfortable with driving them around. He’s kicked really well, and made good decisions all night.

Much happier about him in a black jersey. Waaaaaay ahead of Dmac

Way ahead of Beauden tonight too.

Heading along Saturday afternoon, will be vocal towards Straight Acting Folau.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

@Rancid-Schnitzel There was probably more kiwis at the game in Melbourne than there will be in Dunners...

Well to be fair to Damien McKenzie, at least he didn't lose us the match.
