Bledisloe II - Have a stab at the teams.

Provincial Stalwart

Back off the rugby and onto UB40, I'm not surprised that a band member fell on hard times when there were about ten other members to share the profits with. Mind you, one tenth of fuck all is the same as a quarter of fuck all.
 
Didn't they just cover other people's hits? Elvis, Neil Diamond etc.

They have a point. The Canes butt raped the Crusaders and forced them to eat their own testicles, yet they get more Allblacks. 
Actually I'm totally cool with the selections. I just wanted to mention that the Canes butt raped the Saders

Rancid Schnitzel

On a serious note I'm a bit underwhelmed by Dagg on the wing. Bit risky, but Id go for the young fella. I also want Pat T on the bench. Don't see why they cant unleash him on both the Wallabies and the Boks.

Naaa they did a whole heap of their own stuff as well. Like I said I do genuinely like "Don't break my heart" for whatever reason, they should have stopped there cos the rest of their stuff is just awful. That's just my opinion though, they were a massive band and sold shitloads so not exactly sure how guys can fuck up and lose the hughe amounts of money they had.......then I think people like Mike Tyson and it all makes sense and obviously Jonah was out of cash when he passed away as well,
 
Back to the Rugby so this post doesn't get deleted I can honestly say I could pass ALB in the street and not know who the hell he is. Can I have a list of strengths/weaknesses from a Chiefs fan by any chance ?

I think they released two covers albums but those two albums were massive but if you rattled off a bunch of their songs you'd be surprised how many where by them.

Hooroo

Worst thread deviation ever!
 
EDIT: Where are the mods to tidy this up?

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">Anyway back to the Rugby, I'm even more out of touch than usual having been away but what does Squires bring to the table that Dixon doesn't ? Is 6 foot 5 really that much of an advantage over 6 foot 4 in the lineout ?

You were in the islands for what, a week? You haven't been trekking the Silk Road for a fucking year. They're completely different players.

stop tidying shit up!! it makes our random threads even harder to follow. just let it lie unless it's outright abuse. And even then leave it alone.

Tall, Maori, tats, bit of mongrel, questionable haircuts/facial hair, one's a 6 who covers 8, the others is the other way round.
 
Would it help if I said I haven't seen a single highlanders game this year ?
 
Hooroo, I did mention Rugby in every UB40 post, did that help ?

Seems like I'm the only guy around here who likes UB40.
 
Happy with the ALB call. He's the best/only option left to compliment Fekitoa. Him and Seta or him and a 19 year old would scare the shit out of me.

I just have a calm easiness that ALB will do everything well enough. Not expecting a omfg it's like the love child of Nonu and Cullen type game, just good decisions and low error rate. 
Startling Smallcock must be taking lessons reading Sun Tzu. I can't believe there hasn't been an edge to the training in the Wallaby camp.

Hooroo

Oh dear, the last line, the ulitmate put down......
