I’d forgotten how white this place is. Is there an option to change the background colour scheme? Yes Phew! Managed to successfully locate toggle after brief search. Now it’s as black as the Bible in here. After ten minutes you'll want white back... as soon as you get rid of the stars in your eyes....

As it was explained I think he was there to give a speech to the kids in the school, which you would imagine would be a typical paint by the numbers motivational type of thing. But instead he was curmudgeonly, curt and very direct. Said if they failed it would be a reflection of them. It was actual...

Richie McCaw the same. Though he is training for a completely different sport now.

No, that wasn't me... I have met Buck and had quite a long chat with him... about 30 years ago. Why was he calling the students losers?

Probably nothing to be concerned about but I saw a photo of Kieran Read on his Instagram feed and it is striking how slender he looks.

Pretty sure the senior management of most organisations not only report to their board but also make recommendations to them. Regardless, I reserve the right to irrationally lash out at the nearest easy target, and Robinson's the face of NZ Rugby, so... there has to be a hanging! Oh, and the Cake T...

Very true. If he plays well, France play well.

What has happened to Ratima? I liked him earlier in the season because he was so much quicker at getting the ball away than Christie and Perenara... but now he seems to have caught the deer in the headlights disease?

Information overload? Something has changed...

The logical move is to put Plummer on the bench. BB has a head knock, no egos bruised that way. I said during the game that a couple of chip kicks landing in the right spot would have the BB fans lauding his excellence but those same fans don't seem to see the aimless chips to nowhere conceding pos...

Interesting conundrum - with Cane going so well, and with his win loss record under pressure, does Razor take Cane on the Northern H tour in November?

I'd like to see Plummer given a go. Solid and reliable. Pollard like... and can play 10 or 12 well.

But Havili... meh...

From the Fern source that always seems to be correct.... backline for Saturday...

9. T.J.Perenara
10. B.Barrett
11. C.Clarke
12. ALB
13. R.Ioane
14. S.Reece
15. W.Jordan

21. C.Ratima
22. D.Mckenzie
23. D.Havili

Parsons and Hall very upbeat on the Aotearoa Rugby Pod... Brynn Hall particularly effusive about McKenzie..

I'm not working this weekend. Thoroughly looking forward to being able to sit back, relax and get wound right up.

You will change your tune when the Sharks poach him.

It's strange, given it's supposedly Razor's area of expertise, that our loose forward mix has been so out of whack this year. Vaa'i's playing so well at lock that I'd keep him there, but agree we need a big gnarly bastard at blindside. Thought Finau was that player, but he hasn't exactly grabbed hi...

And lets get rid of Cane and TJ... they are pointless picks at this stage. I'd love to see Ardie at 7, Sititi at 8 and Vaai at 6. Darry and Barrett at lock. Patrick on the bench. That's a back row to scare sides... It's strange, given it's supposedly Razor's area of expertise, that our loose forwar...

Patrick Tuipulotu got through Auckland's game yesterday, and will rejoin the squad in Sydney. I hope he doesn't start ahead of Vaa'i, who's very much earned his spot, imho. Now that Newell's out and de Groot's back, it's a good chance to freshen up our forward reserves. The Wallabies scrum is unlik...

Goldie can't half waffle on, eh. Some of his questions go on forever, and he just can't resist getting all self-important and preachy. The other guests barely get a look-in once he gets going. It's a lightweight show. The ARP is much better. Yup... really enjoy watching the ARP they push you a litt...

Unlike pessimistic Jeff Wilson... some optimism from Parsons and Hall...

All Blacks the favorites by some margin. Cape Town is their second home and with Willie in 15 will cost us big time. Oh dear the cope is just getting cringe now. So the ABs are favs to win against the Bokke at home, in front of a fanatic Saffa crowd, against a team they haven't beaten in three outi...
