Kiwi-bashing asshats like you were one of the reasons I left in the first place, and just look - nothing has changed - you're still doing it. I suspected it might be a mistake for me to come back here after three years, but I thought I woud give it a try. Looks like I was right I'm off - too...

For the same reason that players get warned for other things without being pinged immediately. You can gripe about it all you like, but one, and only one person is responsible for what happened and that is Foley himself. He had the ball in his hands, and was told by the referee to play it the...

Its only a "debate about the ref" because this happened when it did. If it happened at, say, 23:51 in he first half, or 51:18 in the second half, this would not even be a discussion - and its important to keep in mind the laws remain the same no matter what the game clock says. Also (and I was...

Nope, that's not a mistype. Just think about it for a moment. 78:57 - Whistle - "Time off" (clock stopped) "Quick play" 78:57 - "When I make(?) time back on, you play now" 78:57 - Whistle - "Time on" Those times are the off the TV clock (on Sky). In NZ, the SkyTV Game Clock gets its feed from...

Some might be as long, but this one was different because it involved Raynal warning Foley to get on with it... four times by my count Here is the rundown, with times. The referee warned Foley not to delay play twice before he called time off, then again after he called time off. Then...

This, but the "haters of anyone wearing black jersey" on this site will always paint them as the demons - their opposition (whoever they might be) are always the angels. Someone commented earlier that there weren't any Kiwi postersin this thread - its not hard to understand why. This used to be...

Do you even understand what "mitigating" means? https://lmgtfy.com/?q=mitigating

A little knowledge (i.e Googling somthing you know little about) is a dangerous thing (see mitigating factors)

What the hell are you guys smoking? Yellow card sure, but cited? Really. You think that meets the red card threshold? Oh, and by the way, Nel was already across the mark-of-touch while the ball was still not caught OFFSIDE AT A LINEOUT 29. All lineout players are onside if they remain on...

Either, and Gardner (why would he not be considered if Australia are not the opponent)?

Watch a replay and look at South Africa every ruck someone in front of the back foot

Very frustrating watching the ref let all the marginal infringements slide for the Boks, but calling out every little thing for the All Blacks, and what about that gutless decision not to award a YC against Green 11 when he committed a cynical professional infringement by not releasing M'ounga...

Now you see, I thought WE were at a disadvantage with French referees, given our record under them recently especially Garces, because he is very slack on policing midfield offsides, and lets be clear, the "rush" defence we are seeing being used by teams such as Ireland and South Africa is...

Yep. I'd rather have a goalkicker who is a consistent 75% week-in week-out than one who is 95% one week and 55% the next

1st test - 144 & 142 (MOTM) 2nd test - 92 (after being concussed) and DNB 3rd test - stood down for concussion 4th test - 211 and 82 (MOTM) Clearly, all the boorish behaviour of a small group of England fans had a bad effect on him... bad for England

This cricket thread is awfully quiet today! I wonder why that is?

I have long believed that a sending off (with the team going down to 14 players for the rest of the match) should be reserved for for really serious, intentional foul play... the stuff that gets you a four week entry level sanction at the judiciary. My proposal would be Black Card - Biting...

Not to mention the number of Pasifika players who play for French clubs who extort them to "retire" from international rugby https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/rugby-world-cup/rwc-2019-japan/113489285/samoa-tonga-players-pressured-by-french-clubs-to-miss-rugby-world-cup Its time WR got tough...

85-0 after 68 minutes Honestly, this match has less value than a training run.

Say what?
