So what refs do ABs have bad stats under? As they win at at over 85% of the time, I would suggest there are some refs that must of had almost 100% while doing AB tests.

He's right you know. I mean, just look at Jérôme Garcès. The guy f*cked the All Blacks out of a Lions series win two years ago, and where is he now? Front row seats to what will probably be one of the most punishingly one dimensional games of rugby to be played this side of 1871.

Traditionally a burgundy would be served with onion tart. Though I guess that would be less the gesture intended.

Turns out our resort does have satellite TV but only in the posh rooms & the restaurant. They're getting a special licence & keeping the bar open & TV going for the game. Not so for SF2, though, so may have to go to the "fishing club" up the road for that one.

From recollection is the idea is that onion tart has a sweetness that works with the Pinot Noir (great wine selection fwiw). Though it's a bit of luck as onions are a traditional crop in Burgundy. Let's call it terroir though.
The challenge is out then. Guess I've got to try to find pork pies to go with my IPA.

Now I'm really worried:
"Me, I shall be rooting for New Zealand, which no doubt England coach Eddie Jones would expect because "you guys (in the New Zealand media) are just fans with keyboards." Only, the thing is, Eddie, I'm English, and even I don't want England to win."

Mark Reason on stuff.co.nz today. All we need now is for Stephen Jones & Pete the Pirate to announce they're Backing Black & we'll be properly forked.
EDIT : last time I remember Reason talking up AB was prior to B&IL2, I think he tipped AB by 20 & we all know how that turned out.

Quite why stuff has Reason as a opinion hack is a source of constant bemusement to me.

I'm the same, in the following order: 1. Never back england. 2. Never back the ABs unless they are playing England. 3. Back all Southern Hemisphere teams over NH teams.
