My thoughts exactly WFDS, I sure plenty find NZ commentators biased (reading posts here etc), and similar with Aussie one, SA etc etc. Some obviously support the teams they commentating on, and find they see it through coloured lenses. I actually enjoy the difference way that they see the game...

I don't get the hate of the English, never have. I in general like the people and have enjoyed the country when there. I think the everyone hates England is just some assuming everyone thinks same as them? I know at the moment they got a pretty handy rugby team which some will be annoyed about!

I not arguing with your worries Dismal, and could be a horror show, but still about time we had a good hard series to knock us into shape. Our boys (and suspect Aussies too) need some decent hard games and for us not just the Aussie super teams. The easy way out is doing same ol same ol...

I meant to post this here. On a bit of reflection of season etc, I looking forward to next year. And the tour to SA being the best for me, for a couple of reasons. 1; I love the idea of tours etc, especially between us and SA. 2; Probably most importantly, most of us have said our players miss a...

Geez a few supporters were upset when a couple of Wallabies weren't available for test match against England? Wales have 13 players leaving their squad before test against Boks next weekend to return to play for clubs!

On a bit of reflection of season etc, I looking forward to next year. And the tour to SA being the best for me, for a couple of reasons. 1; I love the idea of tours etc, especially between us and SA. 2; Probably most importantly, most of us have said our players miss a fair bit without...

;) Hate to break it to you mate, but winning 10 out of 13 tests is actually almost 77% , so 70% isn't really flattering. :p I think the country would be in meltdown if it was only 70% winning percentage that would be close to (gasp) 4 losses in the year!!! Though we have done it before, back in...

He did yc one with PT mate. I didn't see him do it, bit Ireland went down to 12 players for a minute or so.

Geez and Ireland vs Boks at oranges Ireland down to 12 players, 3 in bin , and one that got RC has already been replaced!! Ridiculous!

Mate, the reason you have to play a game of at least NPC level is that your contract doesn't start until you play in NZ, not to show what you can do. You can play if you play club rugby, just players not back in time, and squads for RC are named before NPC starts. And LF is a bad example if you...

I also think Razor is perhaps finding another difference. I remember hearing Crusaders players saying how Razor would use a theme over the season, and for games to focus the mind of players, which is all very good, but at test level, I think just playing tests should be enough to lift...

I wasn't arguing so much for BB as much as suggesting that we can't see a style the ABs are playing. I just saying I can see what I think they are trying to play, just not sure they got the right players to do it. or at least they failing to get details of plan right, or if it coorect plan to...

Must admit, I more than a bit surprised that Papali'i isn't in AB squad at least, genuinely think he would fit in at least on bench pretty well, if not a starter. And I struggling to hear any rumours going around who he's upset, as usually when someone misses out there is a whisper.

While you right up to a point, I not sure if we want a gameplan so easy to that us plebs know what it is, or just about every coach will take it apart. I actually get impression we got a style we trying to play, not sure it the right one or players are right ones to do it? We seem to have a plan...

Yep, need a whole team like that. Not saying BB trying to look flash or any of them. I genuinely wonder at times if the trouble is perhaps even from supporters (and a lot of teams have same trouble) is we want everything to look flash, and not high work rate. Even the fact we think it only the...
