Disgusting. No wonder everyone is leaving.

We have had enough of the cheap-ass backpackers (German and Nordic youth) flooding the country. Let's scare them off and reserve our efforts for the big spenders to whom $100 is a small tip

I'm quite happy for a certain segment of those German and ...

Ticking off another NZ ground next month when Jimmy Smallsteps & I head to Pukekohe for the Otago v Counties game. I might wind the clock back and do a few rolls on my side down the big grass embankment. Bit worried about an excessive amount of momentum, mind..

That's not true. You have PCPhil's crystal-clear 21-year-old memory of the event.

I had a summer job in Timex, Dundee where my job for a week was to sit in a room and watch the guy who was in another room watching the guy who was in the room where they did the coating/chrome coating of watch cases. Apparently this involved some compound involving dangerous chemicals/poisons and ...

thank god he is not my neighbour

Thank god the chicken runners aren’t. Beautiful Central Otago campground getting drowned out with Oompa Loompa Afrikaans pop. They’re as arrogant as stupid Kiwis who walk the great walks with a Bluetooth speaker hanging off their packs.

Amazing to find out that Martin Johnson and Inga played in the same NZ u21s side in 1990.

Bit of digging and this was the side:

J A Goldsmith; J K R Timu, C R Innes, S D Fitzsimons, V L Tuigamala; S J Mannix, S T Forster; C W Dowd (rep G A Halford), M Sexton, D J Morgan (captain), B P Larsen, M ...

Is this symptomatic of NZ Rugby’s insular coaching focus? If you are not in the in crowd there isn’t a pathway for you so we see high turnover amongst provincial coaches and eventually coaches rising to roles above their station.

Canterbury teams used to be greater than the sum of their ...

My memory is fading but didn’t Hewson wear gloves and pantyhose to protect against the cold at one stage?

Seems to ring a bell, but that may well be just my dislike for him showing through.

He fesses up to wearing gloves, but steadfastly claims he didn't wear pantyhose (sorry, can't copy ...

As far as I'm concerned, there will only ever be one "The Good, The Bad and The Rugby".

So to be clear on this, so far as I understand, the BBC decided not to have a singalong to land of hope and glory, because there wouldn't be anyone to sing along.

Last week, as I watched one of the horses I have shares in run a fading sixth, I would have said harness racing/trotting.

But this week, after watching one of my other horses win easily last night on her way to Group 1 racing in November, it's one of my favourite sports again.

He's 35 or so isn't he? If he gets dropped in sydney as a 75-80 year old man he should be mostly harmless and mostly broken.

He's only 29.

I'm just going to put this out there, but over the last month of SR Aotearoa Michael Collins has been the form centre in NZ. He's brilliant wearing the no.13 jersey.
