"Greetings upon this solemn and sombre morning for it is I, Razor, with terrible, terrible tidings involving an overnight rugby football result from the Republic involving the dishevelled Northern children of abject laxity, yes, the foolish and irretrievably stupid Auckland Blues. "Now brace...

Can't believe it. Fully expecting an announcement from the republic on Monday that "the decision has been reversed" on a "countback" by Commissioner Egon.

Seems to be some sort of paradoxical rule in effect in that the better the player was, the more drab and boring they are in the comm booth; George Gregan, Tim Horan, Christian Cullen.....

Thanks, Egon.

Swolves to a man all backpedalling on D instead of pushing up. Which is making JOC (James O'Connor) look like hell on ice.

Sure "they should be free to maximise their earnings in their brief pro careers yadda yadda" but for me it all boils down to enthusiasm. Soup Rugby feels so dead and it's because it just seems so galling and insulting to expect fans to be enthusiastic over the comp when the all-permeating vibe...

Not quite. Outside from the top 4 or so there's still plenty of tinpot high-school sized grounds with only a couple of hundred diehards in the stands It is! It is necessary! Please, just do it! Let me move on with my life and distance myself from this failed and abusive relationship.

The selectors are starting to turn their trained eye towards this Ben Gunter fellow. Such a physical specimen yet his maul defence, even in Japanese rugby, seems to be quite..... decorative.

poor Japanese comms having to pronounce "Le Roux". Ruru this, Ruru that. The guy must drive his coaches craaaaazayyyy. Just bombed THREE scoring chances by himself within 60 seconds. Shit pass to winger, shelled it with tryline begging, then another garbage forward pass to his wingers feet.

Ricoh: 26. Robbie Robertson. Levon Helm. Elliot Dixon Balls. NEC: 12. Steven Donald. That Blues twerp Lolagi Visinia Yamaha: 69. some kiwi called Malo Tuitama scored 6 tries. Last week beat NTT 82-7. Some other side won 97-0 last week. Some of these teams are really starting to lay the murder...

No idea. Plus I saw about 6 new sub-genres of anime grot not currently in my rolodex

Great work Zane, way to miss the point, now if you could just explain this away, that'd be great:

"Mr Marinos declines to be interviewed on referees after only 3 rounds of Super Rugby when it is only February and he is still busy at the fucken beach."

"Luckily, the Bloos have the adaptability to cope with adversity in the officiating."

just had my first thought for the week here on a Wednesday; prior to RWC2019#DEBACLE Hansen would have read alllll about how AB's are sleepwalking into a 1991 style ambush due to him mafia don-style sticking with his old experienced capos for too long so he thought fine then, fuck yuz, not gonna...

ha "New Zealand Rugby Team Watch" thread reminds me, national coach is such a sweeeeeeeeet gig, fat guts Fozzie must be LOVING it, fuck yeah, here I am, I made it, got the job thru a friend at NZRFU bloody months ago and still havent had to do a stroke of work, and, get this, I've got 5 more...

Picking that too. Bringing back a rested Cane, Cruden and ALB. Getting into their work now and that work is murder.

"Uhh, Houston, that is a no."
