The Silver Fern

@Nepia I'm pleased it's not the other way around because then I'd be branded with the other favourite TSF Cantab stereotype and TSF might have its first litigation 🙂

The guy plays Rugby for a living in front of thousands of people in stadiums and millions watching on TV. But he is entitled to the right to privacy about his medical situation & personal life the same as the rest of us.

It is a shame that he is facing a bit of a lay-off as he was in outstanding form. I hope it is nothing too serious and he makes a swift and full recovery, then gets back on the field soon. Thoughts with his family and friends as no medical precedure is ever without stress.

Depends if he has the runs or not when he wants to flush that dunny...

@Jailbreak7 said in Refs...and other tall tales:

I am so sick and tired of the duplicity. Clean up your act, refs - or show yourselves the red card.

IT doesn't help that the IRB don't have laws that are actually able to be read and applied. The difference between the laws as written, and the laws as reffed is chalk and cheese ... so it's damn hard for players (and refs) to know what is and isn't OK.

I keep getting cross as there's no consistency. I'm quite happy with a clear standard for little things like 'not straight' in lineouts - or how in front of the kicker yo ucan be, or how much of your body needs to be behind the goal line to be onside. However, you just get such different interpretations from week to week it makes my brain explode.

@nzzp Great time to be a blues fan...😀

First time I've seen that on the fern for years! Without a sarcastic tone that is.

Good on ya, it's a nice feeling when the rain finally stops🙂

Actually, we're seeing the team on an upswing. Still a long way to go, but we're on our way, and I feel far more optimistic than I have for years. The board, the coach and the playing group are starting to deliver. Good to see. Arguing about how good a rookie will be is a discussion we haven't had a lot of over the last few years.

Yeah because no one has ever heard of Gibson, Papalii, hell Perofeta was even dubbed Perofuture.

Perofuture is his nickname from the players and refers to the Blues not the All Blacks.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say?

I figured you were talking about hype from posters here about the players.
