You’ll have to forgive me, because from your two word post of Gary Teichmann, and subsequent defense, it wasn’t clear to me that you were refuting the selection of Thor.
I think I see it now that I actually read the thread. What a fucking hassle.
Pissing myself

UK government has announced that it expects stadiums to be open for fans from the start of October.
November internationals in the UK will go ahead.
Yup there 6 Nations plus Japan (and summertime riser, can't remember?) Nothing to do with SH, as they haven't come here

@Machpants The Tests are still scheduled to happen according to World Rugby. It is amazing that the NZ Government have refused to reinburse NZR for the cancellation of the June internationals which their quasi-dacronian quarantine policy made impossible. The stubborn inflexibility of the NH club sides in refusing to allow the tests to shift to August/September didn't help.

I'll pop this in here, feels wierd agreeing with Eddie. Yes rugby needs more speed and less bulk, and yes you have to really want to play for an international side
Eddie Jones: rugby union needs to speed up or 'we will end up like NFL'
England’s coach Eddie Jones wants the number of replacements cut from the bench as well as more decisive calls by match officials for a faster game

Non-story.
Pick players who can pass and put a man in space.

Dunno why we are speculating about whether international rugby matches will proceed in 4 months, at the moment we can't even predict whether Victorians can order Uber Eats next week or whether NSW'men can sing at a fucking wedding on the weekend.
Yeah, I'm grumpy tonight

@MiketheSnow mate that's a tap. Hill should change his name to Hollywood.
It's a deliberate forearm/elbow to the temple.
Crumpled Hill and fucked his knee in the process.
Dirty, dirty, premeditated shit from Grey.
Look at Grey's lookback. He fucking knew.
Grey had a stormer in the second half possibly feeling he would be cited at least and miss the possible deciding third test.
You're looking back with 2020 goggles, sadly. I agree that it should have been red, but back then the video ref was non-existent for foul play and shit like that never got cited. Plenty of examples like that and worse from that period.

@Bovidae I don't think Read would make my top 5. Brooke, donkey and Vermuelen way ahead.
Read suffers for his last few years but 2011-2016 he was awesome and world's best in his position. That's a decent stretch at the top in this day and age, coupled with the fact that he's a 2x RWC winner, 100+ tests, World Rugby POTY.
I'm also amazed at how highly rated Hairy Donkey is given that fact that he was often up and down like a yoyo in terms of output. He had a couple of awesome matches against us, granted, and he had a very high ceiling. To my mind, though, he just didn't produce often enough.

Actually I’ll take the 20 million NZ from lotto instead, not pounds but I think I can handle it!

Que? August/September for tests was never on the cards. Players wouldn't have been allowed travel. And seasons had to be completed.
