Did you not read the Article?? - Hinton is making the point that the referee was NOT to blame and that Pat Lam should just suck it up.

Never hear that before and I've lived in Christchurch for 46 years. I could see a connection between the South Is and green as the maori name for it is Te Wai Pounamu, ie the place of greenstone.

I hope you can see the irony in your post. Certainly thousands and thousands of others might

Pragmatic quote from RMC below - In my opinion this raises a valid point, If Ben Franks' action in counter rucking past the ball was OK then logically that must have ended the ruck. SD should have pinged Franks for diving thru & sealing off, possibly would have saved some grief. the All...

Dickinson's call came as McCaw picked up the ball. Too late IMHO, SD should have been calling "still a ruck" as soon as Franks drove thru. But this illustrates the major issue with the LOTG, too much subjectivity around the Ruck & Maul, we've all seen many other instances where this would have...

Bullrush - do you have the stats on whcih feed to PKs were given?

Agree to some extent but what you are describing is the result which we can see, what we dont always see is the real cause.

The surface at Millenium has long been a problem, Saturday was was no different. Several times the scrum was moved to find fresh turf, after each scrum the ground was torn up. Hard to say exactly who was dropping who - but a major part of the problem is the refs not insisting on props binding...

Someone give that journo an uppercut - Shag Hansen says we wont put pressure on their feed - the journo writes "All Blacks Threaten Golden Oldies scrums" FFS!

Where do you get that idea? He has fronted on TV, in the paper and on the radio right from the time he arrived in Christchurch and played for Belfast seniors at the snakepit. He has come across well whenever I've seen him and his humble demeanour and good attitude has been instrumental in...

No Question Pocock has been the #1 openside this year, but I'd assume the panel would look at overall performances, influence on games etc. On this balance I'd give it to McCaw, But no doubt the panel will throw a curve ball somehow . Kurtley Beale could be the dark horse (No Pun !! intended)

Here we called that Wank-Word Bingo

Yes Campervan can be good - just make sure you dont try too much 'freedom camping" in laybys & country roads. You could be woken by loud banging noises on the van roof. Only to find that when you get out to look, someone will have left slices of bread on your van roof and there will be 20...

Try Holiday Parks / camping grounds as well - most have chalets / units as well as camping or van places http://www.top10.co.nz/ http://www.aatravel.co.nz/main/index.php Try these 2 for starters

NOt sure why France wore white - remember tho' that France really are supposed to be royal blue which never used to clash with Black, it was only when they changed to Navy Blue that the problem began, so maybe the French agreed to change in NZ Re SA vs Ireland last week - I'd assume they kept...

It's not an "AWAY" strip - IRB directive is that the home team change to their alternate stip when they clash. Whenever Scotland play in NZ - its the ABs who change and wear white jerseys

Are you serious? I dont think Moody noticed that anything had happened. He didnt even rub the back of his head.

"HAWKO - As a side note: Cowan is a nasty piece of work and a serial offender in off-the-ball and dirty play. One of those players who will do anything if he thinks he can get away with it. " Fair enough comment for a couple of years ago - he was a serial niggle-meister - Since then he...

Perhaps this also had something to do with QC (Quade Cooper)'s niggle on McCaw? 3.20 - 3.30 QC (Quade Cooper) goes high on him & McCaw palms him off easily - watching live there was a front on shot of this play and QC (Quade Cooper) attempt was pathetic.
