Re: Super Rugby Pacific 2023
Yeah Beaudan was pretty average again today... and the less said about his goalkicking the better... he can't be close to the All Blacks in this form... even at fullback...
Christie has lots of energy but is just too slow at clearing the ball to be a consistent All Black...
Credit where credit ...

Re: Super Rugby Pacific 2023
BB isn’t too bad when he breaks the line. The problem is he rarely breaks the line these days.

Re: Super Rugby Pacific 2023
Good to see they aren't ignoring high tackles like the last match earlier... and penalty advantage only being 20m... I like it... :thumbup:
It’s the inconsistency between refs which gets my goat
I wonder if there is any law for how long or far advantage is applied? Other refs come back ...

Re: 🇫🇷 France protests 🪧
The retirement age in NZ is 65. There’s a simmering on-again off-again debate about lifting it higher.
In Australia it is 70 (universal pension) and 65-70 (means-tested)
It’s hilarious that the French are whingeing about lifting it to 64.

The Australians have started up a spite thread vs Scotland at the other place but there were no Scots on it. Only found out on that thread that all the Scots were over here. 
Anyway, England are going to put 109pts on Tonga.

Yes they were up against a schoolboy backline but BB and Mounga combined very well.
