France v All Blacks

Are you not up with the gossip? Nuggets better half was in Paris with him.
I somehow don't think the dunnys at CDG will be seeing much actionWhat's Colin de Grandhomme got to do with this?
Well according to those dodgy selfies doing the rounds a while back Nugget could also be named "big man"

I had the cricket going in the other room yesterday and came out to see Tom and Jeet opening the NZ innings and poor old Tommy edged his first ball to slip and I thought he'd got his King Pair.
Luckily just the start of first innings highlights/replay and they were off for rain.

That's awesome.
Fark Jordie is huge. He'll be a weapon and a half when he fills out.
How good was Kane before his concussion issues?

Can't remember but maybe Blues supporters on the Fern know.
Just wondering, the fifth Barrett brother, Blake, played with the Taranaki U19s in 2014 (see link below). So I guess he's older than Jordie and younger than Scott. Has he ever made the Taranaki NPC squad?

Kane Barrett didn't really look Super Rugby standard from the little we saw of him. Naholo didn't either in the same season so it's hard to tell whether he would have kicked on or not but from what I saw I doubt it. . Got red carded against the Chiefs in one of his outings.

It sucks being in a family with over achieving siblings, and you are the odd person out. I know that feeling well. The eldest Gallagher brother of the Oasis duo must also feel it every day.

How about Dean Waugh or Trevor Chappell.

Hadn't heard of Dean Waugh until you mentioned him, but yeah he must feel like a loser as well...lol.

Adam has played at least two tournaments for the All Blacks Sevens team (in 2015, I think, just before he left for France); so while he didn't play XVs in black, at least he has some black jerseys from 7s.

Did either of Jonas' brothers play rugby? I recall the older one looking like Jonah after his kidney problems.

Sorry but am fed up with the whinging about the jerseys.
Please don't apologise, we love the whinging about the whinging...

In one of Sir Paddles' books he talked about his youngest brother who - when the Hadlee family were having their Saturday evening debrief with Sir Walter after club cricket - listening to brothers Barry, Dayle, Martin and Richard recount their tales of hundreds and Michelles - reported that he'd made 20. Except they discovered the next day he'd made a duck. Sir Paddles thought that he and Dayle probably wrecked that brother's career hammering him in backyard cricket - and shading him like a radish in a pine forest.
I wouldn't be surprised!
Heard Smiley Barrett interviewed and he reckoned Blake Barrett was probably the toughest of his sons and his time would come.
