I get it. I did laugh at the time at him for doing it. But I think overall we need more emotion and narratives in rugby, not less. I’d never advocate for us going full league boofhead, but a level of rivalry and spiciness just adds so much more casual interest.

The other thing he does is start every fifth sentence or so with: “Indeed…” Have a look, you’ll see it everywhere in his articles now! Overall I do actually like Christy though. The more journos writing about rugby the better.

No way, we need this kind of spark and passion. I thought it was great.

Yep this is my main issue with Harrison too. The PR spin talk is infuriating, but he genuinely stifles good conversation too. Constantly cutting others off, or getting weirdly spiky, just when some really good discussions are beginning to take off.

Objectively I thought it was a pretty poor game that just couldn’t get out of third gear. NZ were average, we were poor. Such a shame as a sell out crowd in Perth, and a final Test for Slipper, deserved more. It was nice having Carley out there though - he is leaps and bounds ahead of that...

Word salad. You absolutely were suggesting RA didn’t know about the clash; there is zero chance of this. Some punters in QLD maybe? Sure. The administrators of another sports code as they head into a showpiece match? No. You are wrong. Again and again.

And I don’t think you have any idea about how big the AFL grand final is in Australia. It’s a cultural behemoth. It’s such a well known event that a huge swathe of the country gets a dedicated public holiday for it. RA would have known about when it takes place. You are categorically wrong.

Nah sorry but bullshit. As utterly incompetent as RA have been over the years, there is just no way they didn’t know the AFL grand final would clash. Dan is doing his usual flailing about and seeing what sticks.

I just don’t understand what we’re meant to do. I know it sounds like sour grapes but it just feels like we really copped all the stiff calls that second half. The game deserved better. And yes of course we did engineer some of our own poor luck with missed kicks etc. But that doesn’t excuse it...

Pass was fine.

Having the gall to try and compete against NZ.

Ok I give up.

Textbook by Wilson there. Yet pinged.

I love that rapid pick and go that Ikitau does but bad time for it there.

Uh oh. I have hope.
