The Silver Fern

Love it.

@Canes4life said in QF Brumbies vs Hurricanes:

So annoying, the Brumbies don’t have a chance against the Chiefs. The Canes would have.

Not if it's wet. Or if the Chiefs choke again.

Guess the Blues v Crusaders thread is safe next week from interlopers.

Never in doubt

So what have I missed, Blues still the top of the heap?

I'm using two paid services at the moment, mainly to support work and keep up to date.

Cursor AI is pretty impressive. I've dismissive of a VS-Code fork compnay being worth billions, but then I tried it. The interface is excellent, and it's so damn helpful.

The other one is Grok. There is some really interesting happening with this implementation of the tech. It feels more consistent and helpful. The iteration on improvements must be making their competitors tear their hair out.

The 3.5 version is just around the corner, and the developers seem pretty pleased with themselves on X. They seem genuinely excited.

If anybody has some good MDC ules or resources they want to share, I'm all ears.

Stretching, but it still funny.

Man, that's an impressive post, very interesting write up.

Worth pointing out that sometimes you can measure the worth of a player when he's not there. Blues have an Akira shaped hole in their forward pack this year.

I saw that, it was awesome! Add in the fact they are paying Indians to tag good responses it's all driven by them

Man, lots of injuries this season. Good to see some get back.

I fired the AI tipster and picked myself. Picked Moana to be a dick, pretty happy that worked out

Blues X account confused the crap out of me with an Akira post, had forgotten the date. Was like it was AI targetted for my feed.

Was happy for abour 20 seconds, then back to default setting of grumpy old man.

Well the catch was cool. Guess they didn't get all the issues whey we looking at this week with the delays.

Launch, hot stage, flip and burn, and catch all becoming reliable aspects of the system. Hopefully they got some good data from the mishap.

On a plus, the re-entry pictures will look cool again.

Injury list getting a bit long. Side still looks strong despite that.

I went for him too, and Sotutu and Telea. Defence was awesome

not tried to get from bus station. I based my assertion on @Kirwan saying it was easy as to get there during RWC 2011 having previously seemed to think Albany was somewhere north of Wellsford. I just mapped it and it's 1.17 km so 15 minute walk? So about the same as the walk from Twickenham Station to the ground.

Confused, the Albany dig directed at me? I grew up by Glenfield and later Whangarei, so kinda know where Albany (and Wellsford, mores the pity) is.

So why aren't you supporting the (not so) mighty Harbour?

Wasn't really intended as a dig. I remember you thinking Albany would be a ball ache to get to and later saying it was a breeze, so I used you as an ikon for the widely held view that getting to North Harbour Stadium is akin to early 20th century attempts to reach the South Pole

Because I started supporting Auckland in 1984 before Harbour existing. Fucking splitters.

I got stuck in a car park after a game in Albany for an hour. It sucked. Eden Park is a breeze in comparison.

I think BB is only a ten at this stage of his career, not attacking enough at the back and his kicking last week cost us at least two trys, was poor.

Forbes was a key cog for our success last year, I'd try him out at fullback, and Sullivan when fit. BB to the bench
