Posted in: England draws with All Blacks from 25-6 down at Twickenham See in context

Whilst the AB will take their undefeated end of year tour with their usual grace. These lapses in concentration have been ongoing and speak of a lack of mental fortitude. NZ owned England in almost every area (especially in the tight where they bossed England around). The bench were poor with their impact (especially Perenara) and their inability to close out the last 10 minutes (albeit being down to 14) was not an isolated incident.

Good signs though - they looked 20 points better than England and their forward pack and scrum is now amongst the best.

A word about French referee Raynal. He is poison to a game of rugby. Equally bad on both teams he needs to be shifted along so that better refs can be given high profile games.

a wee bit different to playing NZ's 2nd streamers after a 6-week layoff.

Posted in: All Blacks blow 14-0 start in comeback win over Scotland See in context

The ABs never seriously looked liked losing. They constructed 4 excellent tries and always looked the goods with ball in hand. Scotland had a penalty try and an intercept. If not for the NH ref's weird interpretation of rucks and scrums Scotland would hardly have threatened.

I'm neither upset nor am I surprised. England are a one-dimensional 10-man rugby team and when they meet a team that matches them in an arm wrestle they look decidedly beatable.

This 2nd steam ABs will likely only win by 25-30 points.

Posted in: All Blacks deal with injuries, absences for Japan, European tour See in context

I think it is more likely to be an undefeated tour for the ABs. They look a far, far better team than they did at the start of the year.

Posted in: Argentina coach slams referee after four yellow cards and 22 penalties See in context

The difference between the rounds was the inclusion of NH refs in the first few rounds. The officiating from the NH refs was appalling (as always). There appears to be no understanding of the ruck from the European refs whatsoever. Argentina were rightly penalised throughout the game.

Posted in: The popularity of Japan vintages is astonishing. I believe prices will further go up. See in context

Not only the so-called 'Japanese lawsuit guitars' of the 1970s; several of which (at that time) were better than the US produced ones. But also many of the local acoustic brands at the time are exquisite guitars. Kohno, Yairi are world-class and many from the era feature Brazillian Rosewood as the tone woods. Tokai and Orville are stand outs for the electrics. The 1970s Ibanez 335 copy is as good as the original Gibson.

So pressure your legislators to do their jobs. Abortion should never have been to SCOTUS to decide upon in the first place. In this, at least, they have made a sensible decision. Respect that both sides of the debate have equal validity; debate the issues, pass laws.

There's no doubt about it - Ireland were much better than the 13 ABs they had to face ..or is that farce? Rugby has lost its way with the amount of cards dished out. We no longer know which is the better team - just who is unluckiest in under the subjective whims of World Rugby and the referees.

A great day for proponents of free speech and a slap in the face of the woke left. All in all - a beautiful day to be a Twitter user.

and b y the way Hiro: He overpaid for that garbage. It not even worth half that amount. Is literally just a app for people to post a quick picture, video and text. With that kind of money, he could literally pull several nations out of their economic woes.

You clearly don't use Twitter at all if that is what you believe.

England looked very poor. They seem to have no real attacking ideas. France were strong in set-piece facets but their skill-level was average. Both these teams are quite beatable.

Posted in: More protesters expected at thinning New Zealand blockade See in context

It certainly is interesting watching the media arm of the Labour party trying and failing to paint these freedom protesters as white supremacists and whatever else kind of boogeymen the left are currently obsessing over. Yes, there are some 'crazies' in the crowd for sure. Anyone who has taken time to go down and walk through the protest can quickly see it is mostly concerned, happy people (overwhelmingly left-wing themselves) tired and upset over government overreach in NZ. And now that the high court have ruled that mandates are illegal; and now that the measures of the Ardern government are so clearly failing - well, it is only a matter of time before many of the measures are abandoned for good. Sadly, the horrendous cost to NZ will endure for many years to come.
