    Official Rugby Thread

    Wiki says Pinetree played 8, Flanker and lock, And he doesn't sound like an openside to me so that leaves the 6 jersey. Steve Cutler was amazing. Shelford was a significantly better player than Zinzan and wouldn't mention the two of them in the same breath. Young Ritchie was a sight to behold...

    I havn't watched enough world rugby to the topic justice. Also I was overseas for many years so my list will be full of recent players and 1980s players. Nonetheless here is a list... 1 McDowell 2 Bismark 3 Servat (is that his name? The French prop) 4 Ian Jones 5 Steve Cutler 6 Pinetree 7 McCaw...

    I think that is clear Hendrix. But only a rabid ABs are NUMBER ONE FOREVER fan would bite. I think you and I are both non-plussed by his list.

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2015/16

    I just hope the boys can all get healthy and in good nick for it. I don't agree with anyone who says Tim and Trent are has beens, but it is true that it is time for them to repay the patience we have shown in them during their hopefully temporary form fluctuations. Would be a fantastic result...

    Hadlee's Rhythm & Swing - is it worth?

    I've got Botham's somewhere - but only solidered through the first 300 out of 600 pages. So I remember it being a bit L-oooo-nnnggg. I think the book also was written to fresh to its events and there isn't quite enough perspective on the events that transpired and some of it is a bit emotional...

    Australian Domestic Off Season 2016

    Thread needs a more iconic drinking establishment name. I could also argue that the poms would have more claim over the handle "the local" :ph34r: Ignore this post it is a slow night and I am just making convo.

    Is Javed Miandad's love-making underrated and who was the best against the WIs in the 80s?

    Hadlee's Rhythm & Swing - is it worth?

    Yes buy it if you are already a fan of either NZ cricket or Hadlee in general. Don't buy it if you just like all cricket. I loved the book and 30 years after reading it can probably still recall the general gist of the book. Some highlights: Talks about what it was like growing up in a very...

    Worst Shot You've Played

    In high school I had a theory that the season wasn't underway until you had hit your ankle with the bat while playing a drive. Yeah my most embarrassing moments are: 1) Falling down after swishing at a cover drive. The opposition truly thought I didn't know how to bat. Luckily a few fours...

    Rugby (union) June Internationals 2016

    Good game. The better team won. Really Folau single handedly kept that series close and without him there would have been some comfortable victories for England. Not blowouts mind - but 13-20 point victories. Folau always made the gain line and I lost count of how many try scoring opportunities...

    Rugby (union) June Internationals 2016

    Gosh Nowell has won my grudging repect. He is the most defensively gifted wing I have ever seen. He just stopped an Israel folau try right before half time. Very nuggety customer. Good stuff.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    People tell me this thread is the cricket chat version of "What am I thinking right now" I want to make a post that consolidates many hours of cogitation. But don't know where to put it so this thread will suffice. How important is intelligence to a batsman? I actually think you need only...

    Rugby (union) June Internationals 2016

    Final random comments: 1) I can't recall Nowell doing anything Yarde would not have done. 2) Yes England clearly the 2nd best team in the world. I think that Farrell is your better number 10 by some considerable distance but I understand why you go for the Ford-Farrell combo at 10-12 (because...
