This sounds fantastic, what a great event, I hope it's well-attended

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Will have to receive final approval from my spiritual advisor and Life Coach @zer0 but goddamnit I think I want the BumBreeze to win this one.

Those Canes need to be taken out of contention for the 6th place playoff spot the Blues are chasing

I think I need a lie down now.

 

[zer0]

How do you do fellow horsie enthusiasts. Where is out esteemed stable master @Tomikin?

Inside the plot to ‘get rid’ of Peter V’landys

In his climb to the top of racing and rugby league, Peter V’landys (the horse racing guy) has broken the rules and challenged the system. But now some in the system are fighting back.

"The Brumbies and the Hurricanes have today announced the launch of the Captain Shout Cup ahead of this weekend’s fixture between the two clubs.

"The cup will become a new, annual trophy that will be contested during the Smartech Super Rugby Pacific regular season, beginning on Saturday at GIO Stadium during Anzac Weekend Round.

"Named in honour of Captain Alfred Shout VC, MC, a hero of Gallipoli with ties to both Australia and New Zealand, the cup symbolises the enduring legacy of Anzac, sacrifice, and shared history."

They seem to have included a picture of Nic White in the press release?

 

[Major Tom]

Alatini would have to be close unless he’s had setbacks (ruptured his ACL middle of July last year). Hes young so probably best to go through lower level.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Nic White is so intimidating he can defuse a certain try 3 on 1 merely by his presence:

 

[LeCheese]

Sorry mate, but it looks like you've attached the wrong image? I can only see Captain Alfred Shout VC, MC

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Brums by plenty. 2nd week of a tour and big game last week for the Canes.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

2 mins gone and I've already seen enough: Messrs. Proctor and Higgins to be immediately fasttracked directly into the All Blacks midfield. Full tenure.

 

[LeCheese]

Toole and Muirhead have been absolute turnstiles so far

 

[dru]

This game is being played at a furious pace. By both teams. Fabulous entertaining rugby.

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Pollard won't enjoy seeing that in the review on Monday
