That is similar with most languages. I speak a fair bit of Indonesian, and it is quite amusing to plug Indonesian phrases into Google translate and see how wrong the translation is. Because you can't plug the context into Google translate, you will only ever get the 'gist' of a passage.

A brilliant example of how stats do not tell the whole story.

I hope so. He is on the verge of being dropped from my squad if he doesn't quit with his erratic scoring.

Yeah, I'm on deck today. Kinda got blindsided over the last few days. Crusaders are updated on the front page.

Who is this person with the same moniker as me???

My opponent obviously has the same strategy: Select your xv at the very start and then just go along for the ride! I did have a chuckle when I saw his captain was Delve, and his vice captain was Dan Carter. Although it was touch and go for a little while, even with his automatic transfers I...

Anyone still banging on about Smith's ineligibility for the Wallabies might want to watch the post game interview with Robbie Deans - He is essentially contracted with the ARU and is playing in Australia. From my take on that situation, Robbie is happy to have George on side, pending the...

Never heard of the bloke. Not much to start a thread on, if you ask me.

Why Growden thinks of himself as a high-ranking rugby official I will never know. And has someone explained the difference between red wine and pies to him?

Barnes does offer stability to the Tahs, but I do see the problem of where to fit him. If nothing else, a fit Barnes will provide depth. I must say that I was quite impressed with the Folau try last night. It was a good kick from Foley, and really utilises Folau's aerial skills. Considering...

Well, at least I'm not the only one in the Lilo/Anscombe situation. Misery loves company!

Anyone with Poki in their side might want to make a sub - he's not playing this week.

Not a bad team, although Mafi is warming the bench this week.

Hedging your bets eh? The first part of that bolded paragraph precisely echos my argument. But I really don't think you feel that way, considering the position you have been arguing from.

Force team named!!!!!

Dane Coles out for the Hurricanes. Motu Matu'u will now start, with Ash Dixon taking up residence on the bench.

Contract skullduggery aside, my firm belief is that if the player is playing in Australia, then he should be eligible for the Wallabies. Rather than engaging in the complicated politics of contractual analysis and obligation, why can't we just call a spade a spade? Yes, George Smith has a...

And yet all three were not selected for the 'camp' being held this weekend. Speaks of a broken system, more than a broken player. But lets not turn this into the 'ARU/Deans conspiracy against Quade or Player X'. I am more than satisfied with the win, and I am really looking forward to next week.

Isn't that one of the core things you want from a fly half? You don't want a fly half who does everything himself, you want a bloke that facilitates a team's attack. He did that very well if you ask me. The team was playing to a well constructed game plan and they executed it. You really can't...

Excellent win. To go to Waikato and come away with 5 points is not an easy thing. The Reds really have the blueprint on how to beat the Chiefs down pat. Excellent work from the piggies, I was again particularly impressed with our loose trio. Gill is on fire, Quirk goes hard at everything and...
