@Canes4life said in Stormers v Crusaders:
So apparently those that have accused the players of abuse are in the process of sourcing CC TV footage from the McDonalds where these events eventuated. They are adamant that the Crusader players are lying and are going to do anything to prove that.
I guess all will be revealed when that footage comes out.
My worry is that they're going to get Marius Jonker to make a ruling on the footage.

Ah fuck this fluffybunny. Just like Sevu. I just wish our All Blacks wouldn't assault people. Fucking disgraceful. I'm fine with rehabilitation for people who do these things but people like this shouldn't be public figures and representing our nation.
have to say, when i was at uni in dunners most people that used their diversions did so for things like taking a piss somewhere a little too public or in one case nicking all the pool balls from a pub, maybe pinching a road sign...not so much fighting let alone hitting a woman
Flatmate of mine got diversion, but the summary of facts was a great read. He was arrested in town after an Otago v Canterbury rugby game for offensive behaviour or similar for pulling a brown eye in the street. The SoF went something like: "Mr (Smudge's flatmate) then proceeded to drop his trousers and bend over, part his cheeks and say "kiss this, Canterbury".
My spies tell me "lawyers" & "Mark Reason" have been mentioned in the same sentence in the Stuff offices in regards to this article.
I generally try to post with (attempted) humour or insight but...
Fuck off, Foster, you hopeless piece of shit.

@canefan you utter mother fucker Hipkins
shit like this is irresponsible as all fuck!!
"The biggest promise they are making at the moment is they are willing for Kiwis to get Covid for Christmas"
Well, Chris, are you waiting for the Easter Bunny to bring it? Or perhaps wheel it out for ANZAC day? Or is it only bad if it comes on a public Holiday?
As for those Qld/NZ parallels here is Qld's biggest cuck Steven Miles ""I don't think Queenslanders want to just give in this close to the end of the pandemic," Mr Miles said.
"I don't think Queenslanders will want to let COVID in for Christmas if we don't have it and New South Wales still does."
Be honest you fucking fluffybunnies
That is perfectly in keeping with the messaging they've started to roll out over the last few weeks which taps into the unbridled fears of the most insular of Kiwis. That's why they planted the seed of thousands of deaths in the minds at the 1pm conference last Wednesday. In absence of a well-executed plan, they're preying on mental frailties instead. Lovely stuff.
2016 was a tough old year for me, tossing away a comfortable life in Dunedin because I was constantly reminded of an ex-girlfriend everywhere I went in Dunners. So, for someone who planned to the nth degree, it was a bold move to up sticks and leave with no plan.
After a couple of months of drifting aimlessly (albeit with accommodation support from parents and some contract work I can do anywhere), I've ended up with full-time work in a completely different (and interesting) industry. What's more, it's Monday to Friday and (generally) 8-5pm...
So 2017 has delivered more than I might have expected this time last year. And I'm currently having a single malt out of Dad's cupboard so no complaints here.
Meanwhile, I'm figuring out what to actually do with a summer holiday...
To the rest of you, enjoy the time with whoever you're spending it with.

@Tregaskis said in All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.:
@hydro11 There is possibly a recent precedent. Two years ago Cruden transgressed and missed the Arg / SA tour plus the Bledisloe III game in Brisneyland (Barrett started, and Slade came on and kicked the matchwinner). I don't recall Cruden being injured (there was talk he would play for Manawatu during his "suspension" but I don't think it happened) and I believe his next game was the second EOYT game vs England (Carter started the first game in Chicago).
I have no idea what Cruden did but he served about a month for his misdemeanour. Perhaps Aaron Smith will serve the same.
Cruden was late for a flight which is a bit more serious IMO.
Although it seems arriving early to an airport isn't necessarily a good thing either - too much time on Aaron's hands . . .

You could float a warship on the amount of wanking off over Ardern. It's all a bit revolting on Stuff. Anyone would think she is the lovechild of Clark and Savage with the wit of Lange in his prime.
English needs to be a bit careful. I think we've seen more than a few major votes around the world this year that have been decided on perception and emotion, not fact or logic.
I think I've come up with a word to describe the fatigue one suffers from reading too many columns on Ardern:
Jaundicinda.

Back at work today. The unvaccinated guy next to me: "are you ok to be back at work today? I mean, is it safe for you to be here?".
Well, cuntyballs, maybe you could have got vaccinated and you wouldn't have to worry so much. And yes, it is safe for me to be here after my 7 days of iso, as per Govt instructions.
Did you look at him & cough?
Multiple times.

Polly Grey $4 on tab. Hopefully better with aus bookies once markets are up (anytime now)
Track suits too. She should go fairly well. Fitness is an issue but we think we have her there or thereabouts.
Great run! Makes me glad I looked at this thread this morning.
Cheers. She did it fairly easy in the end, looking at the replay.
I think she can go on from this. She did it in her stride and ate up as soon as she got home which shows it wasn’t stressful for her.
Looking at a listed race in Wellington if she doesn’t get sold beforehand.
Just reflecting on this from a bit over 3 years ago. From a maiden win in mid-April 2019 to taking on Zaaki in the Doomben Cup this Saturday!
I get to be a statistic tomorrow. Happy days.
just a positive case, not a death, hopefully.
Pretty crazy finish to the Petone v HOBM game today. I went for the first 20 but it was raining and I felt like shit so went home. Should have stayed...

No interest in an insurance bet? I'll probably put some cash on the Drua in case the Highlanders lose.

Nothing beats a fish burger from an old school NZ Fish & chip shop.
Massive bun, fillet of fish, tartare, coleslaw, lettuce, tomato, pickle.
Reckon it must have come in at night on 2,000 calories.
(spot the guy on a diet)
In Palmy, Golden Takeaways skipped the tomato, lettuce and pickle, but whacked 3 full pieces of fish in - all for $3.80. So big you didn't need chips so you had coins leftover to play Shinobi while you waited
Funnily enough, a guy at the pub last night was talking about this very burger.

Update on this. We've paid for the barrel and have the filling ceremony in June.
