Mrs Sausage informs me that cricket is that sports where we embarrassed the saffers in the world cup semi. So evidence suggests that it is in fact rugby Sent from my SM-T705Y using Tapatalk

What is CRICKET? Is it another kind of rugby we can win? Sent from my SM-T705Y using Tapatalk

The All Blacks talk a lot about "momentum shifts" during a game. They often use the pick and drive for multiple phases early in the second particularly in games where they've gone into the break down a few points down so I see it as a tactic to hold possession, wear the opponent down and bring...

Meh, to be fair we were only going to crap on like dickheads for the next few weeks. Whilst I do like to read this forum from time to time, in terms of my posting habits it will appear that I am one of the kiwis who only come out of the woodwork to rub it in and no one wants to see that. Even...

Oh we've only just begun. Imagine what this will be like in 2 years.

Ugh, if only it was that easy to explain away. Unfortunately we were talking about George, the dumbo eared! looks 40 when he was 24, carthorse George Whitelock. In my defence though, how could I know that Pocock wasn't going to self destruct like other talented youngsters viz a viz Cooper...

As wamberal says, more yellow cards is not better. If it were a temporary strategy which ultimately reduced cynical offending it would be OK. Not sure the differential penalty would work either - I could see it becoming almost like snooker. I can camp in the oppositions 22 racking up goals and...

Haha that Voltron guy must be retarded! Ah fuck, that's right, it's me. Can we let it go already? I was wrong. It was the wrongest thing anyone ever said. I know nothing about rugby. Whitelock was shit. Latimer never in the same league. PS, Dismal I did not mean all those things I said in...

Increasing points for a try and decreasing for a penalty will also increase the incentive for a defending team to concede penalties to keep their line intact. Essentially rewarding cynical play. Not saying it's a bad thing but will require a strategy to combat this. Sent from my SM-T705Y using...

It's the prophecy

You'll have to forgive my ignorance and explain to me the concept of a sports discussion forum, because i thought it was someone states an opinion, someone else disagrees with it, discussion ensues. I am not trying to stop anyone from posting whtever they like but surely you wont stop me from...

Didnt suggest it? Only if you mean outright stated it. Do "an all new tactic from the blicks" and "As soon as a black player is tackled" ring a bell? You've deliberately goaded the kiwis here (again: "Black Bastards'" "Cheating Kiwi bastards", direct quotes from you) into a scrap over something...

My point is rucking past the ball isnt illegal and shouldnt be. The only genuine issue i can see here is allowing or not allowing players to go for the ball once it is out. To be honest i cant say ive seen the ref stopping anyone. The offside line moves because the ruck has moved. The opposition...

Really? Thats an interesting memory since Howlett and Rokocoko played every minute of every tri nations test that year and neither Tuitavake nor Wulf were All Blacks until 2008.

I think a couple of you may be missing my point somewhat. Im not arguing that "gen Y" (or z or whatever) arent a bunch of lazy cheeky shites. They mostly are. Teenagers and young people are and always have been. I was. The point is this generation isnt any worse than any other. Older people have...

Have ben looking for that quote but cant remember exactly who said or what the wording was. But i know the one you're on about

I do care what you're saying.

What i'm hearing here is this: "When i was 20, i was awesome. I clearly remember it, walking around all awesome all the time. Now i'm 40, and i see all these 20 year olds, walking around thinking they're awesome! How can they be awesome? Ive spent 20 years working on my awesome! They are...

Here is where i disagree. If the players have advanced past the ball, so what? They are no longer part of the ruck so go around them. The ball is out. If the ref isnt allowing that to happen that is his fault, not the laws or the players pushing past the ball. Ref it properly and the advantage...
