The Silver Fern

I guess Carter only shone in the latter part of the sevens circuit, plenty more years left but he's a difference maker eh.

@Stargazer Blyde has been awesome and is getting better too.

Was listening to Devlin yesterday and he suggested Moment was decided by the judges. Which momentarily pisses me off.

And then I remembered you could vote (I voted once and it was a pain). Public votes are open to abuse and stupidity and are thus excusable.
Stupidity by appointed experts is not.

To my mind the final whistle in 2011 is as far in front of the next most momentus moment (Elliot 6), as the Elliot 6 is in front of whatever is third.

And my opinion includes all the reasons many of don't like: the grind, the tension, the nerves, the weight of 24 years. It truly was fucking amazing.

@ACT-Crusader This article answers your question.

Humbling to see the Big Man take what he learned playing Rugby Union (gather a team around you and fight with all your strength) into his battle with Motor Neuron Disease. A top man and one of Rugby's great characters.

Raising a glass to you, Doddie. 🥃

@cyclops their win wasn't a 'moment'?

Been discussed a lot on RS, and the DG, similar to the 'pitch pole' for ETNZ in the Americas Cup and Elliot's 6 v SA are more what some see as a 'moment' than an entire game...a bit ambiguous and depends on how you look at it?

Winger your thoughts please?
