    <p>Yes agree with all of the above, a perfect example of how not to play wet weather rugby. We were tactically naiive and were outsmarted...</p>
    <p>A very good day for Ireland seniors and juniors.</p>

    <p>Yep, Faiane and Lienert-Brown were superb on defense. Goodhue was also pretty good, and Aso couldn't even make the starting lineup!</p>

    <p>Yup, those 3 led the defense nicely. Teams could barely get any rhythm on attack because of them.</p>

    But then in 2011 I though I was watching a future great, and maybe captaincy potential in TJP. While 5 years later I have him ranked as the worst AB in my time.<br></p></blockquote>

    Harsh. "Not lived up to potential/promise" I'll wear ... but worst? Naaah

    Nepia it was on ch 507. They had been showing the games on 503 but because it clashed with the OZ v Italy game they moved us to the viewers choice channel. <br><br><br>

    <p>Cheers. Is that in the HD channels section or the other section? I had a look up and down but didn't see it but maybe I didn't go high enough.</p>

    You know what I really really like about NZ fans more than anything else?<br><br><br>They never, ever, ever complain about the weather or use it as a reason they didn't play well.<br><br>I'd really appreciate if you could convey this to other SH fans<br><br>"Yes it fucking rains. And yes it fucking rains during rugby matches - particularly in NH seasons. It has done for the last 150 fucking years.<br><br>Get fucking used to it."<br><br>Or something like that.

    Our props were shit PH. Nothing to do with weather. Besides it often rains in NZ. <br><br>
    Weather excuses are for the convicts across the ditch.

    Only thing that grinds my gears more than water dropping from the sky at a rugby game, is watching young guys celebrating like they've really enjoyed their achievement.

    In case it wasn't clear, or people thought I was being sarcastic, I actually meant what I said about NZ fans re weather.

    In the non-HD channel section. Go to 507 then press red button. I think there were 3 other sports events on that time to choose from.

    NZ fans can't complain given we are the land of the long grey and white cloud....

Not sure what happens in the other .1% - this yellow dot appears in the sky sometimes and I don't have to wear my vest.

    <p>I don't have much of a problem with our tight 5 at under 20 level being behind the rest as far as scrumming goes ~ this is something they work on for the next 5 years and we have a situation like lat night where All Black forwards can draw and pass to put guys in space.</p>

    I used to get on my mum's case about this. If she had to migrate to England in the 50s from an island to the west, sentencing me to decades of visiting said island, an island where the people have a deep love of music and stout, and speak in lilting accents, why couldn't it have been Jamaica?
