<p>Yeah, he still had that stare though. Same as Grizz Wylie ... just eyes that made me want to grovel</p> -
<p>I tell Aussies this all the time. Was viscous by Carozza, headbutting Loe like that, while he legitimately tried to prevent a try from being scored. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Funnily enough, it doesn't go down well. </p> -

<p>Grizz is Richard's uncle so it's probably genetic. :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loe was a stock and station agent and generally regarded as a bit of a hard case in the Alistair Hopkinson mold - but, I think he might be one of those guys that can sort of flick a switch and go somewhere fairly dark.</p> -

<p>You're not saying that everyone from North Canterbury is related, are you? Could be misinterpreted...</p> -

<p>Bender would be a good 6'2 and the <strong>same height as Conrad</strong>. Now if only we had a photo of them standing on their heads side by side to really tell us</p>

</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Here we go, reasonably slim white guys who are ABs are automatically 6 2 by default on this forum.</p> -
<p>Actually, from memory, Conrad is the same height as me, and therefore, around the 187 mark. </p>
-
<p>if I had become an AB I would have finally hit that 6ft I always longed for!</p>

<p>Yeah that would be close enough I think judging by my not so scientific "standing by him in the Supermarket in Island Bay" yardstick.</p> -
<p>it's a damn sight more accurate than the "gazing lovingly to the other side of the room over a coffee and a plate of chicken wings at Mr Bun" yardstick used by others. </p>

<p>Give him a break, he was including Saveas hair in his equation.</p> -

<p>It's good to see both those skinny midgets wearing their mouthguards at least......</p> -

<p>Though Fekitoa went to the RWC last year when Crotty and Ngatai didn't.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I meant they are the best 3 current options as AB starters. Fekitoa, I think, would make the ideal impact sub as he offers something different. At the risk of repeating myself, Fekitoa could be useful as a 2nd 5 if told just to run straight and tackle anything that comes his way. Centre requires a more rounded game which he lacks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But as you say, Fekitoa would have to be rated the no.1 midfielder of these 4 by the selectors based on last year.</p> -
Ngatai has yet to show he is not this generation's Kahui. Who knows, he may grow out of his injury problems but history tells us he is more than likely not going to.

<p>He's a genuinely nice bloke off the field. It's just when he crosses the white line that things change. I've known a few players like that to varying degrees</p>

<p>He didn't smash Carozza's nose on purpose </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He was going for the ball, try hadn't been scored yet :)</p>

<p>How to make friends with Wallaby supporters; try explaining that to them.</p>
