Sorry, I disagree, Read didn't make the Lions player fall, it was his other team mate unbalancing him, and a hollywood where he lifted his legs and flopped on the ground.

It was an appalling decision. Poite clearly lied twice. He said we have a deal, meaning the umpires have an agreement. However, that is not what he said to the video ref (I did not hear him talk to Garces). Then, he said to both captains that 16 red didn't play at the ball, it just touched him on the shoulder accidentally, so they play the knock on.

We also lost 15 seconds of gametime before they stopped the clock.

The other thing is he did not give any advantage, and ALB was away.

Sorry, but one or two lies and inability to apply advantage, or stop the clock quickly. An incompetent performance.

some of these review comments are HILARious

The chapter where Hillbilly talks about her battle with Parkinson's Disease was difficult to read. Difficult because it was missing from the book.

Spoiler alert--the title refers to her technique of getting into vans.

I was going to read this book.....I really was. But just as I got started, I found myself under sniper fire, passed out, and fell and hit my head. After that I got double vision and had to wear glasses that were so damn thick I couldn't even see to read. Then I had an allergic reaction to something and started coughing so hard I spit out what looked like a couple of lizard's eyeballs, my limbs locked up, and I passed out and fell down again, waking up only to find out I had been diagnosed with pneumonia 2 days earlier. Somehow I managed to power through it all, but it's a good thing I was able to make a small fortune on this random small trade in the commodities market (cattle futures or some such thing) and then, miracle of all miracles, a few banks offered me a few million to just talk to their employees for a few minutes - and all that really helped out because I swear I was dead broke and couldn't figure out how I was gonna come up with the 6 bucks to pay for this book, let alone pay the $1,500 for my health insurance this month. I still want to read it, but, honestly, what difference at this point does it make? I hear it sucks anyway.

Marshall just can't help himself! rofl;

Welcome back Ben smith! Breaking tackles at will

If Foster tells the players to play with pride in the jersey, but he has less pride in AB rugby, is only selfishly looking at his contract, while leading loss after loss, then the players will not trust his words and ideas.

The responsible thing would have been for him to resign after the Irish lost series. Over the years, he must have saved a heap of money. Forcing the NZRU to come up with extra money to buy out his contract, while watching the AB record going down the drain must be very stressful if he has a normal conscience.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I still haven't decided on the gadgets and app solution. Maybe coros. I swim twice a week, focusing for now on single arm drill for balance in the water, and it keeps HB under 130 so still zone 2, for an hour, with a snorkel. My running is mostly slow, did 7 plus hours this week run or incline walk HB 110-122, then add hill repeats and will be doing more speedwork above 155HB. Will also add 1 run at 130-143HB and 1 of longer repeats at 147-160.

Result of more zone 2:
My regular hill repeats session is faster. 3 weeks ago was at same speed as 6 weeks ago, which was fast. But yesterday through 10 repeats I was 2 minutes faster (24 minutes 40 seconds). Lower HB at tops and bottoms. Less pain and kept going after the 10.

OH, I wanted to sympathise with your ex. Maybe she felt she had enough water and didn't want to go to the bathroom so delayed more water intake. Getting the balance of food/water intake takes time and experimentation.

@Rancid-Schnitzel you really swim well, almost 5 km at 1.40 is excellent. I assume you are just cruising, and can go much faster. Breathing every 2,3 or 4? 2? Has the high mileage increased muscle mass? What is your HB at the end of the swim? Using pulse and clock?
Have you tried something like Aerofit?

I am only using the cheapest HR strap and myworkouts app, so very basic set up.
Zone 2 is for me is about 105-125 HB, I am guessing. I am fitter and more relaxed because of this.

@Rancid-Schnitzel
Hi! So, she wasn't impressed with your marathon time? Sorry to read that news but look for someone younger
Do you use zone 2 training? I've assumed not, thought you'd be pushing zone 3-4 most of the time since you've got a coach for the swimming, and it's so hard to stay in zone 2 while running. I'd appreciate your comments on that.

I've been doing most of my treadmill under 125, sometimes up to 130 for 5 hours a week, ramping up next week. Then Zone 4-5 weekly hill repeats for 40 minutes. Swimming is hard to estimate, focusing on slow 1 arm drills for balance in the water, reckon it's under 130.

I'm also trying to figure out an app/watch/strap/foot pod combo, so if anyone has a suggestion I'm all ears, but I might post that in another thread.

Oh, my Sunday hill workout ....(also did 90 minutes zone 2 in the evening)...Need push myself harder after 10. It's all mental focus and commitment to the pain. I've reached a level now where this workout doesn't leave me very sore.

@siam hear hear.
It has been disappointing watching NZ's step to the left the last two years.

good to see Australia still has some spirit for freedom, pity about NZ

lots of records will be set this year by the 2021 ABs:

All Blacks close in on all time try-scoring record

Rugby's record book is under threat from the All Blacks over the remainder of the Tudor Northern Tour.

Their 89 tries scored to date are only three behind the world record of 92 tries scored by Argentina in 2003.

Should the All Blacks score another 12 tries on the tour, their 101 tries would break the world record average tries per Test set by the World Cup-winning 1987 All Blacks of 6.71 tries per game.

If they score another 31 points on the tour they will break the record for most points in a calendar year. That is 658, set by South Africa in 2007 when they played 17 Tests en route to their Rugby World Cup win.

Should they convert three more tries in 2021 they will break the world record for most Test conversions in a calendar year. That stands at 62 by South Africa in 2007.

Be thankful for any. Likes aren’t a right, they’re a privilege.

thankful, I don't feel thankful lol. What privilege?! 2nd LOL.
I said, it was interesting, as it shows a bias between different posts and posters. We are all off topic so I won't be responding on this.
