The fluffybunny didn't even mention Scotland!
I hope he dies horribly....and soon.
Irrelevant team in being irrelevant shocker.

Last I heard they were hoping for 55k - 60k. Last year didnt crack 55k so hopefully it tops that.

Second division as a rugby spectacle which has a massive profile in the national newspapers & television of six countries, and which supporters plan tours /trips two years in advance?
Yes
Second division as a rugby contest?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@bovidae Jordie v Folau? Hmm, not a given Jordie will start at fullback. Might be BFA v Folau. It will be harder to make a call about that match-up, although I agree Folau is still better than Jordie. Still wait and see whether Folau will actually play at fullback.

Looks like Jones succeeded. Must be ten or so posts discussing his article. Stuff and NZ Herald rigorously scrutinise each article to look for talking points. And Gifford had a go too. The guy never fails.
there is fuck all else to talk about. There is a Bledisloe this weekend, and i only knew that because i saw an ad yesterday. There is fucking zero build up. Both teams are in their bullshit "talk down" mode. We may as well have a discussion about that article, or i have to go do work
You could listen to this music instead of working.
It will help you to not forget...

@bovidae yeah, I saw that. I wondered though, is it really true that Liam Squire is “probably the toughest man in New Zealand rugby?”
What a load of shit. He hasn't boxed professionally like SBW or glassed some fluffybunny in the pub like George Moala and those two are puny backs!

Cully does say that in his article.
I actually think the most important matchup will be Smith vs Genia. Whoever has the better game will have dictated play for their respective teams.

Squire is playing for the ABs after breaking his neck, so he's probably up there.
