    @taniwharugby All been done before, ay. Didn’t work then, won’t work now. You are still lining up against the guys wearing black, one of the most successful teams in sports history.

    When you are trying to work out what to call us we are already in your head

    Maybe when playing us they should avoid eye contact too, that will help not being sucked into the black vortex of our souls.

    Ooh, ooh, they should avoid touching us too, that is where the bad ju-ju starts!

    The best one was when we did the haka in the changing sheds at Cardiff. That and the aussies lame waltzing Matilda phase. They at least got away with it because they were good then

    That dirty tart is back.

    Barnes: (the S variety, not the W variety)

    "Your team may match them for speed, skill, strength, fitness and a furious determination to be the best but if your players bed down the night before and think 'All Blacks', all the ability in the world won't count against rugby's darkest of auras. That deep-seated self-belief is crucial.

    "the team who shall not be named ... "

    What is that saying about living rent free inside your head?

    Fuck me , this is funny , to even acknowledge this thought, means you have a problem already

    @booboo England urged to go for the Ernie Terrell strategy of not naming their opponent.

    Didn't work out to well for Terrell in his February 1967 bout as punch-after-punch, blow-after-blow, Ali called out "What's my name?"

    There’s not much on it but for mine Barnes looks like he hit the pies slightly harder .
    Both look like their chosen sports should be darts .

    I can’t really remember him tbh . He might have suffered one too many concussions if his columns are anything to go by .

    @jegga he was around with Rob Andrew.

    Barnes was more likely to run the ball.

    Think he was a victim of that '89 (?) defeat to Scotland where Englang smashed the 5N but lost the GS decider at Edinburgh.

    They were fun to watch that year, (and when they tore Aus apart at the end of 88).

    Barnes was at 10 for those good games.

    England decided to go with Andrew after that and got really boring.

    But he's become a typical NH troll once he hit the media. (I recall he gained some respect in NZ 2011 by being relatively fair and balanced, but lost it come the Final where his desired result became apparent .)

    Andrew Mehrtens in his fat f*** period is definitely worth an honourable mention.

    @booboo Good one, Stu. A little country at the bottom of the world that has won three World Cups, held the #1 rank for like the last decade, and has a bulging trophy cabinet. Only a complete knob would take your advice.
    As others have noted, any time spent on deciding what to refer to the dudes in black means Madame Aura had already moved into the penthouse apartment.

    With the lambchops it's referred to as Mehrts' Fat Elvis Period, something something Robbie Deans' wife.

    Still better than Carlos.

    He’s as fat as Barnes now, his defence was suspect as times but could always tackle a deep fried peanut and bacon sandwich.

    10/10. Arguably the Fern post which has made laugh out loud the most.

    Actually the best bit was the big screens at the Millennium Stadium showing the AB Haka from changing sheds about 15 minutes into the game.

    Talk about laugh...
