Just got a notification the Black Panther, Waka Nathan, is now poaching tries in the sky
Broke his jaw on the 1963/64 tour of the UK, he was still arguably the player of the tour.
Some of the greatest players to have ever played the game have worn the All Blacks Number 7 Jersey, including Waka Nathan.
Rest in peace.

He was a bit before my time, but I remember my Dad saying Waka Nathan was only fractionally behind Michael Jones as a 7.
Those '63-69 AB teams had to be some of the best ever and had way more than their fair share of all-time greats

The chat about Charlie Watts is in its own thread now:
https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/4811/charlie-wattsI don’t recall this happening since Sean Connery passed away, if you branch off into your own thread that proves you’ve made it.
I have no idea what I was doing in October 2020, but registering Sean Connery’s death wasn’t one part of it
Is he dead? I had no idea
Shaken, hasn't stirred.

Certainly is. Gotta hope he was in pain and discomfort in those final moments too.
What an absolutely repulsive excuse for a human being he was

Colin Powell, former US chair of the joint chiefs and former secretary of state. From Covid.
From the article: Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells that suppresses the body's immune response, as well as Parkinson's, Peggy Cifrino, Powell's longtime chief of staff, confirmed to CNN. Even if fully vaccinated against Covid-19, those who are immunocompromised are at greater risk from the virus.
Sad, but his legacy will always be undermined by presenting the false case against Iraq.

RIP Fred.
A name from my early years of cricket appreciation.
Plenty of non NZ cricketers didn't like him. Ask Colin Croft.
