@gunner Tikipunga Buffalo's!!

Think I remember why I dont normally bother with league...

[Gunner]

@taniwharugby sheesh, never even heard of them...

[Nepia]

@taniwharugby @Gunner Why did you Northlanders name your league teams after NFL teams? Oh and Jumbo.

[taniwharugby]

@gunner they dissolved a few years after the Otaika Eagles started.

@Nepia fucked if I know, I was 5, I just wanted to score tries!

[Gunner]

@nepia we’ve also got Tigers, Warriors, Knights, Stags, Broncos....

It’s NRL quality with a token shithouse ITM cup team.

[Donsteppa]

Biggest thing for Fiji is that they’ve had about 99% possession and only 2 points to show for it after 26 minutes...

2-0 win is still a win ;).

[taniwharugby]

@gunner yeah but our M10 team is ok

[Gunner]

I’ve been too distracted by the chat on this forum.... have we even been out of our half for more than the odd tackle here and there?

I thought it was the league equivalent of half court basketball...

Well there is a passing resemblance to the Simon Mannering and Assorted Rabble show!

so that shortens down to Simon Mannering And ARS

[Gunner]

One thing I find really unfair is a situation like we just saw.

Fiji knock on, kiwis dive on it, tackle is called and we’ve make no ground whatsoever, so no advantage, yet that tackle is classed as tackle one.
They’d be better to knock it on themselves, take the scrum from the same spot and start from tackle zero....

[Gunner]

@donsteppa the sad thing is the Warriors might actually be better than his lot...

[Sneakdefreak]

2-0 at halftime. WTF is this? All Whites V Peru?

[Sneakdefreak]

Tonga nearly toppled by some country I've never heard of, Tonga beat Kiwis, Fiji leading Kiwis at halftime. So much for this tournament going by the script.

[Gunner]

Adam Blair with a perfectly logical explanation... it’s good for the game.

I get it now, the Kiwis are just taking one, (well this makes it two) for the sake of international league and making it look like it’s a legitimate and competitive ‘tournament’.

Genius!
