This is always a bit confusing to me. I'm expected to 'have your back' cos you're an idiot. When do you start 'having my back' and stop making dumb decisions that put me difficult situations about 'dobbing' you in? Personally, I wouldn't go and dob you in but I wouldn't lie for you and if...

Hahahaha.....every single ruck and maul is therefore 'dangerous play' and should be sanctioned with a penalty kick!

The great players bust their arses for the whole time regardless of when they mite be pulled off. The only ones who need play those sort of mind games are the ones who aren't fit enough to last 80min anyway.....

I can't think of any sport where your best player is left to come off the bench. All the greats always started.

Some players are so good that even at the 80th minute when they have given everything they have for the last 79, they are better than the fresh legs sitting on the bench. McCaw is a prime example. Pocock is probably another.

This is the biggest factor in favour of Pocock. Who cares if all your team-mates think you're a good bloke and your coaches love you. If that was so important, then Tom Carter would have been a stalwart of the Wallaby back-line for years :) But I don't think there is any doubt that Test...

I like Cruden but I've yet to really see him step into a Test and feel like he owns the game the way you've seen the greats like Carter, Larkham etc do. Sam Cane hs been good in the last few games but I think he's fortunate that Hansen and Co. see something in him that gets him picked ahead of...

Yes.

McCaw apparently made 6 carries for 25 metres - top ball carrier for the ABs. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=11155794

Yep. He would be lucky to be on the NZ or SA bench. He's one of your over-rated players who is picked for lack of any other contenders with either form or experience.

Let go of Horwill. Honestly…he's not much more than standard Test player. Not great, not outstanding……he's standard. Even when fit.

So many of us young Samoans growing up in that 90's era will remember him fondly. A great guy and a great player. Tofa soifua Fats…..save some Palm corned beef for the rest of us hamos uso.

@Hugh Jarse I'd become an Aussie citizen tomorrow if I could. From what I've heard though, it isn't very easy for Kiwis and it costs quite a lot of money so maybe later down the track. In all honesty though, the main reason for wanting an Aussie citizenship is simply because we don't plan on...

Even playing a low level of rugby here in Aussie, the differences in approach to the game compared with NZ is quite amazing. It's like forwards here are so pre-occupied with technically getting their game right, they lose all instinct of the raw power and savageness of the game. Your boys need...

I think that the ball is still deemed to have gone out so even if you had gog go gadget arms, if the ball crosses over the line, there should be a line-ou. The maul rule is fine as it is. The ball is almost always killed before it goes to ground. That's why the opposition is trying to keep the...

I beg to differ.......

Here's on epretty upset fan... http://www.radiosport.co.nz/opinion/adam-walker-oct24-2013?ajh=115#.UmiJg0L7xvc.facebook

Yep.....who ever thought this 'promo' up will probably be keeping his head very low and working very quietly in his small cubicle today hoping no-one realises he's at work today.

I was in full agreement until that last line. Pocock is streets ahead of Hooper. Before injury, Pocock was talked about being the best 7 on the planet - including McCaw - even by true-blue Kiwis. Pocock is your walk-up starter and the only he won't be is if he plays his way out of it during...

As a kiwi living in Aussie for the last 4 years or so, I've found myself re-thinking these kind of topics. On one hand, I'm 'patriotic' than I ever was in NZ. I bought my first All Blacks jersey in Australia. I've considered getting the ol' Silver Fern sticker on the car. Bought a Blues jersey...
