The Silver Fern

@Chris 100%. But it just might take all four years to do it.

The harsh reality (and something to bear in mind when Razor takes over) is that this is the best crop of players we’ve got, for the most part. There isn’t a 23 sitting back home who should’ve been on the plane.

I realise that the 2024 squad will look vastly different anyway, but it’s going to take every inch of SR’s coaching prowess to make that team competitive.

But for now, we’re grinning and bearing.

<p>I think I'm a rotten human being because when I saw the Franks incident I thought, "Eh, we've got cover for that." </p>

<p>He's a pub social team captain masquerading as an international coach. Guy is a myth and is getting found out big time. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>They'll get the arse by the Argies at Twickeham and i'll be laughing all night long. </p>

<p>Hard to form a concrete opinion of any of those until they're run up a flagpole on a windy day. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Quite like the red-blue fern though. </p>

Started watching The Thick of It. My language is certain to deteriorate the further into it I go.<br />
<br />
Finished Gavin & Stacey. Excellent from woah to go.

Admittedly, I sped through the RWC Final scene. Still saw Matt Damon's "Loowmoo is keeeling us," line.

Just saw Invictus. Just lmao at every actor portraying an All Black.

[quote name='Tim']The Wrestler was shit. Really poorly written, crappy 16 mm, dull shit. Terrible movie that can't hold a candle to european social realism films. Just shit.<br />
<br />
Portman is a poor actress and I doubt the movie is much chop. Check out some vintage Polanski instead ...[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
I was disappointed by The Wrestler, because Requiem for a Dream (which he also directed) was so good. As someone who used to watch a little WWF growing up, it more or less hammered home what a ridiculous carnie industry pro wrestling is... but not much else.<br />

But Black Swan is pretentious melodrama at its best. Thoroughly deserved Oscar coming Natalie Portman's way. Been in some shitty films, most definitely, but I rate her.

You're in for a treat. Peter Krause and Felicity Hoffman are great.

Making my way through season one of Sportsnight (Aaron Sorkin's first show). [i]This[/i] is good TV. Writing's superb.
