@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.

Just further on my son's ex. She is apparently now a they. She changed her name from Oceania to Tobias. What the actual fůck?
Guy at my mate's work has a wife.
Wife has decided to become a man.
A cock is being put on in a few weeks.
Weird thing is, he is still committed to her.
Fully supports it apparently. (love transcends physical boundaries or some shit)
I don't believe it.
Deep down, I bet he is thinking WTF
That's the most beautiful poem I've read in a long time.
@MN5 I should have known better. Fair play to @Daffy-Jaffy .
Is it that hard to keep the thread about the death of a much loved rugby player who was also such a prominent advocate for curing MND to discussing his life and times and not various posters' opinions about Scottish or craft beer?
Absolutely no issue with MN5's photo of Doddie with the Lion Brown, I hasten to add.
@voodoo said in Grumpy Old Man:
I'm with the Rager here. It's lazy shit.
Go without booze for a month (fuck that) , go run/walk some crazy stuff, sure, I'll pay that.
But be lazy and just don't shave for a month? Really?
Is there another charity where I can not wear deodorant for a month, anyone care to sponsor me for that?
I haven't shaved for 4 years*. Give me $10,000.
*upstairs at least...
This was a legitimate email sent to Stuff staff last week. Surprised Stuff hasn't gone on a concerted campaign to cancel itself.
@voodoo said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@taniwharugby no idea, didn't see anyone, just the motorway signs saying closed after Aotea Quay
Yep, John Minto and his mates got up on top of the signs on the motorway on-ramps closer to town.
Pretty clear message sent by voters in most of the main centres today. I may not live in Dunedin, but I was thrilled to see Hawkins dropped.
@booboo glad you've had a good trip. Me and Neps have been waiting for you to reach out to catch up, but assume you're saving us for next time.

Yeah not quite sure how to explain to Mrs Boo that i want to meet these random blokes I "know" on the Internet ...
Unless you're around tomorrow (Thursday evening) up the northern end of the CBD?
We have nothing planned ...
If you ever go to Cairns and hang out with @mariner4life and his friends, be prepared to be called the "Penpal".
I've been called worse.
Currently on the bank at Cazaly's Stadium with @mariner4life after a slightly boozy lunch and a very boozy three days. This is quite tedious watching, especially in this heat...
I have a week in Cairns and 5 days on the Gold Coast next month. I've been told to stay well clear of the locals in Cairns but one guy has invited me for a BBQ and a nice chianti, and I do like to live dangerously.
Can confirm I'm still alive after said meal but I fear the next 3-4 days of drinking are just a way for him to pickle my liver...
