      @dogmeat said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:

      @muddyriver Define vulnerable. Given there are still cases where young people without co-morbidities die. What mortality rate is acceptable?

      I suspect playing God with decisions like these is a lot more difficult for politicians than making them from the comfort of a keyboard (not having a go at you BTW).

      Evidence to date is that any solution that relies on everyone doing the right thing for the common good is doomed to fail.

      Out walking last night almost everyone had slipped straight back into social distancing but with more masks worn but to counter that you have the selfish pricks who fled Auckland ahead of the lockdown because of; ya know the inconvenience of it all.

      I hear this.

      When you are deciding an acceptable mortality rate, please include a close family member(Wife/Husband or kid) as a death as one of these and still see if that mortality rate is acceptable.

      So why not reduce the speed limit to 40 MPH. After all this would save lives. Or ban rugby as this will protect people from injury some serious that will affect a person for life. Or close down all unhealthy food outlets. Let the nanny state go wild. The other option is education or advise and accepting variations in life where our rights and freedoms are maintained. We are all different and especially the young don't want to be treated like children who can't enjoy life.

      My view is giving up our right and freedoms to MAYBE buy a little safety is a recipe for disaster. It just won't end. Already the economy has been ruined. And lives with it. I'm older now. Its up to me to protect myself. Not ruin healthy law abiding citizens lives to maybe protect me. I can stay inside and wear a mask and self isolate if I wish

      @Machpants said in Bledisloe One: Wellington, October 11:

      The matchday 23 is as follows (test caps in brackets):

      Very safe Team, happy for Clarke, Sotutu and Vaa'i . The only thing out of the ordinary is Reiko at Centre and ALB on the bench.

      Reiko is a good selection at center. The odd selection is BB at FB and JB on the wing. I would prefer Clarke starting, JB at FB and BB in the reserves. Either BB starts at 1st or in the reserves. And I'm unsure if Goodhue is the best option at 2nd 5. Maybe ALB is a better option

    • RE: Coronavirus - New Zealand

      There are solutions. Like

      NZers to vote for a party that respects our right and freedoms (hopefully there is one) in the coming election. For example the right of a healthy law abiding citizen to go about their business without a Govt using any excuse to remove them. But if we collectively applaud as they are all removed. The future will get worse.

      @SammyC said in All Black Coach - Ian Foster:

      Bunch of idiots, can't see anything but a continuation of the downward slide we are currently on.

      Brad Mooar (if confirmed) is not a huge surprise. I've heard that Razor and him don't really get along.

      Razor is a long way from ready for this job. Key for him is to leave the safe CRUSADERS / Canterbury environment and to get some overseas experience. And mature a bit

    • RE: Hurricanes v Chiefs

      I feel a bit sorry for Holland after his after match interview. He's so clearly totally out of his depth. But seems like a good enough guy. I just can't see him righting things though as he hasn't a clue

      I could point him in the right direction (as many could) but maybe hes too head strong to listen to wiser heads 😁 Not me but experienced ex coaches within the Canes region. And that's what he (and Gibbes) must do

    • RE: Hurricanes v Chiefs

      Chiefs won the 2nd half 28-3

      Canes are just a poorly selected and poorly coached side. If the coaches don't have a complete rethink (and maybe ask for some outside help as they don't seem to have a clue) they will be lucky to win a game this year

      The much-anticipated return of former Warrior Solomone Kata

      I'm anticipating this so much it's almost making switch my allegiance to the Blues in this match.

      Nice of Mauger to reward Toala's last minute try with dropping him out of the squad completely.

      Might be resting for a WE start when the A teams meet.

      @MiketheSnow said in Crusaders. v Reds:

      umb, dirty play which should have seen him red carded.
      There’s no place for that shit in rugby and thankfully they’ve scrapped the 20-minute red for next season.

      Buggar. Its the one rule change that I definitely liked. Teams are still penalised by losing a (maybe key) player etc but for those watching the game the game isn't often ruined. Esp if its early in the first half

      So a player is penalised. But not the team too heavily and spectators who have paid good money to watch it. It esp applies in finals (inc semis etc)

      @Bones but surely throwing isnt exactly a natural skill, you'd think a bit of work ethic and you'd nail it.

      When TR Jnr played hooker we'd spend time just doing throws and he got bloody good at it, then he gave up rugby!
