Beer drinking was a huge part of the rugby culture in my early 20's...got through it...changed when got I married, and eased off, mainly because I was on a budget....and the clock in an agreement with the 2nd half. Had about 10years away from the game playing doing kids sport, then did golden oldies ...

Auckland this morning..........

Kept thinking of you everyytime I went into town........pleased to hear you are on the road to recovery...

Been an interesting read......i'd link privilege with wealth......... and power. White privilege to me only applies in European home countries, and their colonies that were acquired often by infiltration or invasion, taking over the nations most valuable asset......land. In countries where ...

"Winter driving in the South Island........."

Didn't even know that winter tyres were a thing!

Just drive more slowly in ice and snow........or stay at home....

Not a cricket highpoint...............................................

Crikey green light..........have you got a dose of the gout or something......lighten up.

Ummmmm.......note to green light echo......while all the teams are Pissing off, do you think it’s possible to give the last man onto the plane, the pavlova recipe back.......thanks......

Jeez......what a game........still trying to work out how these guys get stuck together for the next week.......it's intensity is like three months of continuous state of origin...

Yup.....the fan has a bit of a problem.....his attitude, or he sounds like a striped blazer gin sipper from a gentleman's club.....reflecting on the glories of colonialism.......the cnut...

TAB have Blues at $1.38........Chiefs at $2.35.......

It's narrower than I thought........Chiefs to run down the Blues today? Double your money.........

Many aircraft were parked up at the end of WW2 on the Woodbourne Airbase in Blenheim, and at Mirimar in Wellington. Aircraft included Mustangs, Dakotas, Harvards, Mosquitos, and the older Oxfords that were used for training. Post war the Harvards were used as airforce trainers at Wigram Airbase ...

Have a crack at this........ for a change........until yer vodka cmes back....

Which brings us to the next level up. There is a richness of talent exposed in this all kiwi comp......just as the richness of emerging talent we see at ITM level. Seeing our top players week in and week out in hard fought games is honing real test match level resilience and flair. The new wave of ...

Top game.......onya Crusaders. Absorbing stuff watching Auks getting the upper hand only to see the lead whittled away through penalties. But it took three quarters of the game to crack the nut......Mo’ungas unconventional restart....Mo’ungas delayed pass......and bench impact. The Jordan finale was ...

Pissed off likewise......and people returning wonder why kiwis aren’t welcoming to their coming home.

Fine 10,000 and \ or 6 months in Paremoremo......make an example of the prick and it,ll be less likely to happen again.

Boags connection to Walker was.hinted at in the news tonight......mentoring.....a clip of him mentioning her in a speech.

She sure threw him under the bus though posting privacy info to him. Her story about the access of the info is definitely smelly......the Chopper Service disassociated ...

Not a neutral fujikiwi......but best wishes for the big game......the best chance the orbs have lies with (stir...stir) insider knowledge of the Crusaders strategies through Rangi and Dan.......

Looking forward to the Barratt v Jordan match up........Crusaders wil have the stronger half backs.

Jeepers.....that didnt take long to move from 2:1 to almost 3:1 on the TAB. Seems that Leons crew could use underdog status to their advantage.

Long range forcast is for fine overhead, 5-10 degrees, and soft underfoot, Northerlies developing............at the moment!

I'll go with the NZ-TAB.........Crusaders - $1.39..........Blues - $2.85.

It'll be more than 15 against 15 in this one.........the bench will be vital.

......however the game will change if Mo'unga is injured. Blues will have more depth at 10 with Otere Black and Carter.

Not surprised that players think that the Waikato is not the centre of the coaching universe at present..........based on current standing......

Not surprised that players think that the Waikato is not the centre of the coaching universe at present..........

Top game tonight.....great seeing the two southern teams having it out. Crusaders had possession edge throughout the game, but took 70 minutes to break down the Landers.

Love these kiwi derbies.....and seeing the local players play. Will Jordan has a bit of a Barrett look when he has a go......roll ...
