Edit: or do I mean spelled?
I wasn't sure about that one a while back, and according to google @booboo is correct, you can indeed swing either way.

@sammyc some people might see that as an insult, but thank you sir.
@mokey fuck yeah! I have a 5 letter surname, really easy and gets spelt incorrect all the time. Plus adding an S to the end when I've never spelt nor said it with an S. What the fuck?
Edit: or do I mean spelled?
Feel for you mate, people can't spell "Bones", I mean shit, more evidence that education is failing... I bet there's some dullards out there that can't even separate the internet from real life!
My ancestors who emigrated from desert land to fucking Mosgiel even changed the name to make it easy. Although most likely because it just sounded like angry swearing.

So is your name Bone or do people call you Boness?

@mokey @taniwharugby winds me up no end when fucking idiots spell your name wrong when replying to an email with both your name in the header and also in the bloody signature.
Plain ignorant and unprofessional.

Hah. My bosses just got a new boss. He emails boss Hannah to introduce himself and addresses her as Heather in the email. Are you fucking kidding me? Way to immediately expel any trust in your professionalism and integrity.

My wife has a double barreled first name and it's amazing how few people know what a "hyphen" is when she tries to spell it out.
-
I'm looking forward to seeing Frizzell get another shot at 6 for the All Blacks. His strength as a ball-carrier can break up tight defences. Not too many players like that around at the moment.
I'd pick a back three of Ioane, Naholo and BFA. Try to trouble the Pumas with pace.

@mokey both my kids are always like 'Dad they spelled our name wrong'...'get used to it kids, happened to me all my life'
I sympathise. Youngest daughter's middle name is Ngaire. The number of times I've been told by English people "what a lovely name, but why have you spelt it wrong? shouldn't it be "Nyree"? "
'tards.

Now you know what the famous AB wing Julian Surveyor feels like

Good rugby thread! Nah it really is!
I don't care when my name is spelt incorrectly but what bemuses me a bit is when they see it come up in an email for the first time and still spell it wrong.
That is what you get when you are a Robin though

People used to mispronounce my names all the time while growing up. I corrected them and then moved on with the rest of my life.
My boys have Nordic names that are often mispronounced. Again, I correct them and move on to more important matters. Also happened to my Norwegian wife on countless occasions. Yet, miraculously she came through it all unscathed.
-
I've got a surname that people think they know how to spell but ALWAYS fuck it up the first time.
I don't have a farm or a chain of burger joints

Come on, you have to admit, "Sonjohnkoksoong" is a bit of a minefield.
It's spelt 'creamofsumyoungguy'

My wife reverted to her maiden name because a hyphen appeared too difficult for people.
I must admit I find it equal parts amusing and irritating when I have to phonetically spell one of the most common names in English speaking countries to someone called Nahasapeemapetilon.

On to the Australian substitute Smith, i hope i pronounced that correctly...

I am going to start a petition to the NZRU that the ABs play every week. When they don't this place goes to shit.
Having said that no one gets my name right - spelt / spelled or pronounced.

A friend of mine's wife had to do the same thing recently, except in her case it wasn't the hyphen that was too difficult - it was him!

It's the Mista part of the Mr Snowy that the morans get wrong.

When does this fucking rugby match start? I am going to have to do some work if this keeps up.

Easier for you than the bloke I once worked with - he was called Dipthik Shidpour (and no, I'm not making that up)

I remember this guy having a sensational game against Australia a few years ago, and then disappearing from the scene. He has been recalled for the AB test.
I hope he goes well, sounds like he's had an awful last few years.
2014 v Australia:

How many good wingers have these guys got?

Bidwell almost seems to be suggesting that we field our weakest possible team to see how we get on.
The genie that isn't out of the bottle is never having lost to Argentina - and that's not one that can be put back in once it's happened.
Look at the Irish - they're fancying themselves to knock us over later this year and in Japan if it comes to it.
-
What I find utter bollox is his assertion that "It now wouldn't be a disaster to see the All Blacks lose to Argentina on Sunday (NZ time). Rugby's world order wouldn't suddenly change and no-one would assume New Zealand is on the slide." Utter rubbish because one loss is acceptable, just, but two in a row or two vs the same team in one year would be the end of the world. Every one would assume the ABs are on the slide of the ABs lost like that. And they're be right because it is not something we have done for ages. Just bizarre to think otherwise, and to lose to Argentina would be utterly unacceptable to the rugby public. Especially straight after a dire show of moronic rugby vs the boks (as much as enjoyed the match, No way I can go back and watch it again without throwing my teddies out)
Journalist are tits.
-
So his pack would be:
- Tim Perry
- Nathan Harris
- Ofa Tu'ungafasi
- Scott Barrett
- Patrick Tuipulotu
- Shannon Frizell
- Ardie Savea
- Luke Whitelock
Yikes.
