Apparently it was a friendly, not a league match. I switched early in the 2h to watch Japan v Australia

Yeah had wondered about that actually. Bloody gutted to see the Stags go down.

Gosh that was a gutsy display by Southland. Most often during the last decade they would have rolled over, but the new coach has at least got them ticking over. I thought Nicole's and Eade's knock-on's would have killed them, but all credit...

You could see how hungry they were. Scott Eades ...

I'm happy with the Reds as they are. Maybe a backup flyhalf.

They'd have to spent a few months at Comrade Brad's Re-Education Camp (TM) though. You know, learning how to be a man and such.


Your team is full of young up and coming stars. Really don't need to change a thing, as a lot of those ...

There are no and have never been any plate tectonics on Venus, also it is without a doubt the most volcanic selestial body in our solar system. I'd say the odds of a once habitable planet is very low. The conditions are just in no way comparable to Earth. Mind you, the topographic relief when ...

Must be one of the most frustrating players from a fan perspective. How many effing times. He needs a long ban and I'm going to stop bigging him up as a player.

I'm sure there's got to be some graphics mods out there that could help?

Found Infinite to be deliberately as it is graphically. Less jarring than one or two imo.

This thread a bit more active than PR. Quick question, I'm looking at my back catelogue of impulse buys that I never played and I'm wondering is Bioshock Infinite worth playing? I played the first small bit but found the graphics jarring after the likes of the Witcher 3 and Horizon.

Dan54 is right. We have two world class 10s in the squad with three more players who can all cover 10 at that level at a pinch.

DMac I'll give you although I don't think it's his best position. Jordie isn't a 10 but could probably get away with 20 minutes there in an injury crisis. Who's the ...

Here is a list of the AB players permitted to play Mitre 10 Cup

North Harbour: Karl Tu'inukuafe.
Canterbury: Codie Taylor, Samuel Whitelock, Cullen Grace, Richie Mo'unga and George Bridge.
Waikato: Anton Lienert-Brown and Damian McKenzie
Wellington: Asafo Aumua, Ardie Savea and TJ Perenara ...

Well I'm really looking forward to this match.

I hope Richie Mo'unga makes Barrett his plaything, his private dancer, his 'Around the way girl. I would also love to see the unheralded South Island backrow outplay their much vaunted NI counterparts. Blues fans have been fellating Fatso Akira ...

Guess I don't need to pay for this title then, I'll be doing the same. Did you have a go at Gears Tactics by the way?

Crusader Kings 3 has reviewed bloody well by the looks of it. I've sunk a few hundred hours into CK 2 and I'm still shite at it (it's great). Anyone picking this one up?

Don't have kids, sounds a futile and miserable endeavour, global warming and automation is going to make any happy and positive future pointless for 99% of the population.

On a more serious note, yeah, I reckon find a job that is at least bearable, provided they understand that that may require ...

40-0 to Canterbury after 30 minutes.

Can they maintain this or will we see a mixed finish and 66-5 type score line?


Finished 71-7. Goes to show the massive gap between Heartland and Premiership


It is a massive gap and from what I've heard from those who have participated it is the pace ...

Jealous, would be great to fly into Stewart Island, or any one of those remote parts of the Pacific or certainly Queenstown, where are you approaching here?

Harden up, Scotland.

Edit: Although, given that would work in favour of the global season, nice one Scotland! :wave: :thumbup:

I've been trying to get in to baseball over the last few weeks, I thought I should like it. Must say I'm struggling a bit, seems very samey.

Walks away with a lovely Sandstone farmhouse, spare a thought for the semi-pro plying his trade in Championship rugby for peanuts.
