All Blacks EOYT squad

No, you're the racist and that's the basis of your problem with my posts - I'm not a racist apologist for imperialist war crimes. Beefy is defined as muscular and robust - a compliment in the books of anyone who understands the English language. So it is very clear you are outraged by anyone complimenting Pacific Islanders because you have a racist hatred of them. Rather ironic, also, that you and your ilk spend so much time in denial over the racist crimes of a country whose language you don't even understand properly. Ignorance is the basis of evil.

I have a racist hatred of Pacific Islanders...

Its bloody comical for you to think the above. If it makes you feel better though you carry on believing it petal.

You mean in response to bitchy remarks about my response to bitchy remarks. & if anyone found "Nothing to soil your diapers about kiddies" offensive in response to bitchy remarks, when contrasted with lighthearted remarks about my own vintage, they really are fragile, juvenile, hypocritical cowards.

Go on, I'll bite. What is the "bitchy remark" which predated the diapers comment?

Puja

So, no response whatsoever, huh? That seems awfully cowardly.

If you can't read, that's not my problem. Nothing more cowardly than those who can't fight their own battles either.

Great response. Not cowardly in the slightest to avoid answering a simple question.

So that's a no on you being able to cite the "bitchy remark" that allegedly provoked you then, is it?

[Mikey Brown]

My god. Somebody put an end to this.

[rowan]

Better still, don't start it.

[Puja]

Better still, don't start it.

"But Sir, he started it!" doesn't work quite so well if you're then unable to cite the "bitchy remark" that provoked you.

Still, your point is made Mike, I'll put the board out of its misery and leave it here.

Puja

[rowan]

You've just smugly admitted on another thread that you were trolling. Doh!

Schizophrenic you may well be, but certainly not clever.

To quote a would-be-wise-man: well done, Sherlock.

Nice to see you're a man of your word

You are more than welcome around here Puja.

Give it a rest Forrest.

Thanks, Zac Guilford definitely wouldn't qualify under "the could do it all" criteria. Plays in Japan now apparently

[rowan]

Zac's current team is listed as Waikato. Is that not the case?

Poor bugger was born in Greytown. I used to drive through that dump a couple of times a week and there was nothing but a few shops and pubs and one or two dotards out on the main street

Barbarians looking like they'll be the ABs toughest test on this tour:

Barbarians squad:

Forwards: Ruan Ackermann, Dominic Bird, Willie Britz, Sam Carter, Simone Favaro, Ben Franks, Dillon Hunt, Steven Luatua, Atu Moli, Kwagga Smith, Ruan Smith, Adriaan Strauss, Akker van der Merwe, Jacques van Rooyen, Luke Whitelock

Backs: Vince Aso, George Bridge, Richard Buckman, Mitchell Drummond, Robert du Preez, Andy Ellis, Richie Mo'unga, Taqele Naiyaravoro, Julian Savea, Nic Stirzaker, Harold Vorster

NZ has played the Baabaas on 10 occasions, losing twice, including their most recent encounter in 2009. The other defeat was that thrilling contest back in 73, still regarded by many as the greatest game of rugby ever played.

If they can get/keep their hands on the ball, that team could really run amok. 6-15 is packing some formidable attacking firepower.

[Mellsblue]

I am taking the long trek from North Yorkshire to watch this tomorrow. Birthday present for my 8yo. It’ll be his first match other than watching Bedford with another 1k - 2k hardy souls and Italy v Canada in the RWC. So, the first time he’ll have watched a tier 1 nation. The little sod supported the NZ vs the lions (and continues to do so) and Beuden Barrett is his favourite player. He’ll be delighted that Barrett is captain. I’m hoping Twickenham, even half full, and a live haka will blow his mind. When I told him the Twickers could hold the population of our market town more than six times over he was amazed.
Anyway, who of the non-regulars should I be keeping an eye on?

[zer0]

Always good to hear of another taking the black.

On the non-regulars, Vaea Fifita and Asafo Aumua are all-action prime athletic specimens. Matt Duffie is much less flashy but is basically Cory Jane v2.

[Mellsblue]

Cheers.
