we could very easily start again. And this time you have to take a different team each week.

@Canes4life most likely, seems like he's been there for last 4;weeks, Darry just maybe he can make it back, we have seen it with others,

@barbarian said in AFL 2025:

Here are my categorisations of the teams from what I've seen.

Classy premiership contenders: Hawthorn, GWS, Brisbane
Could be there if they get it together: Collingwood, Sydney, Geelong
At their best, top 8: Adelaide, Bulldogs, Gold Coast, Port Adelaide
Could make the 8, could blow up completely: Carlton, Melbourne
On their day they can beat anyone but won't make the 8: North, St Kilda, Essendon, Fremantle, Richmond
Not great but better: West Coast

Volatile compounds, but won't threaten: Richmond, North
Still pretty shit: West Coast

Beaver is very solid.

@reprobate said in NH club rugby:

@MiketheSnow yep, gotta stamp it out right now.

That’s why we need Danny Grewcock.

Maybe Norris and the Moana Pasifika THP whose name I don't remember.

@SBW1 Nothing about Manu exiting that contract has been formally announced by the club or the player's management yet.

Crikey mate, you’re a harsh judge.

Well look what happens when the pressure is on him? RWC game against SA was a classic example. Ditto against Ireland and England in the six nations

I think that's just as much of a case of the rest of the Scots team not being as good as their SA and Irish opposites on the whole.

Not England, they've got the wood on them overall.

@Canes4life oh yeah, correct, most likely then.

Max and his team have given up eh? Old Max would have given that place back to Piastri before the safety car or at least been told to by his team. Today? Fucking nothing from him or his engineer.

Going through the motions.

Ex-Sacred Heart tighthead prop Champagnat Solomon-Mua is playing for Marist at loosehead. Has been in BOP for a couple of years.

@KiwiMurph said in Super Rugby Aupiki 2025:

I was impressed by the halfback too.

A converted winger. We didn't see any kicking game from her as the Blues run everything or rely on Demant to kick. That is the big question mark over Pouri-Lane as well because the box kick is still a weapon at international level. Maybe the BFs will revert to Smith's 2021 tactics again.

LF has signed for two years and maybe available for the All Blacks this year possibly even as early as the Rugby Nations Championship.

Yeah. Imagine the let down if he hadn't...

Final putt certainly got a massive cheer by all those watching it in the Titirangi clubhouse yesterday morning.

I don't know about Springer but:

Tongan - Kautai, Tangitau
Samoan - Kirifi, T and P Umaga-Jensen
Niuean - G and M Wrampling

It's possible some might qualify but the likes of Kautai, the Umaga-Jensens and Kirifi would have been selected previously you would think.

@sparky said in Ranking the Men's RWC Winners:

These things are subjective and ultimately meaningless because all ten of those sides achieved their goal and got to drink from the cup of glory that is Bill, but my Top Four because they were first and daylight was second in their World Cups are:

1987 All Blacks. Utterly dominant in every game they played in that World Cup. Daylight was second and third in that World Cup.

2007 Springboks. Dominant. Great set of forwards. Didn't look for one second like losing all tournament, even if they didn't score a try in the final.

2015 All Blacks. Needed a brilliant lineout steal by Sam Whitelock to see them home in epic Semi Final against the Boks, but that could have gone as other way. Nearly embarrassed by Argentina in their first game. But awesome against France in the QF and Australia in the Final. I loved the utter look of despair on Pocock as the ball bounced up for Beauden at the end for the final try. I had picture of it as my screen saver for years.

LOL there was one team that was going to win 2007 until Wayne Blind Freddy McFuckstick Barnes got involved. The Springboks were donkeys coming dead last in the TriNations two years running leading up to the RWC.

It all fell into place for the Boks in 07. They got Fiji in the QF who they struggled with, Argentina, and then an awful England side in the final who they already smashed 36-0 in pool play, and lets not forget that they almost lost to Tonga in pool play too.

How we didn't win the world cup in 07 is a mystery (obviously Wayne Barnes but still).

3-2
Better than most of my predictions 😉

Paddy is legit. Chandler was battered.

I don’t know anything about Supercross, other than Cole Davies being a fucking great name for a rider. Straight outta Talladega Nights!
