When you read this message, what the time on the clock? I feel I’m a way behind.

That wouldn't happen Riccitelli if you stepped back inside you fat moron.

Stargazer

@gt12 Duh, yeah, :man_facepalming_medium_skin_tone:

Bones

@antipodean yeah he doesn't seem to like the thought of keeping the ball alive. Followed up by equally dumb play from Evans.

antipodean

@bones Yeah that effort by Evans speaks volumes to intellect. I suppose every team needs the big blokes who don't think too much...

Toddy

Why not just penalise white when they've come from the side, instead of shouting at them to move out.

antipodean

Brilliant by Proctor. That's the difference between centres and hookers...

gt12

Hmm? No comments?

Cracking try, set up well by Proctor.

Edit: hit refresh gt12.

KiwiMurph

Beaudy goal kicking very well in the conditions.

Rancid Schnitzel

That Comlink or whatever his name is, is a really shit defender. Canes up by 14 but both tries were due to his shit defending.

Stargazer

I had noticed the weird hair cut from Jantjies before, but what on earth has he growing on his chin?

I don't think he's growing it, I think it's growing him

Bones

Best defensive centre in NZ with a cracking attacking play...

KiwiMurph

@bones Rob Thomas would have scored it himself

Bones

@kiwimurph that centres combination of is what dreams are made of.

Seriously, Is it his time?

He’s basically a less breakable Ngatai and he’s only 25.

Bones

Funniest line from Nisbo "now he looks to link up!"

It was Ardie Savea. No he doesn't.

Rancid Schnitzel

RR isn't that good is he? No way he should be an AB.

I know I would, but can't really see it. Crotty, Goodhue, ALB, Laumape, SBW. It's a long queue.

this ref reminds me of the muppet nice chap that gave up his Friday night to officiate my sons U13 game yesterday...

Two Maori Jesus's - could be confusing.

@bones

I can’t see it either, but on form he’s playing much better than ALB.

He also covers a number of positions, which makes him a nice 23.

Plus, his combination with Laumape.

Tordah

Christie is so fucking shit, passes too low regularly

Rancid Schnitzel

Is Christie the same Ginga that was playing for the Chiefs or is that another soulless clownhaired freak?

antipodean

Nice pass Christie you donkey.

Jeez were missing tj or at least keeping TTT

Queue gets smaller when you take out injuries.

Nisbo now sounds like a video game commentator where he just has a small number of phrases that get recycled

"Looks to link up"

"Now the race is on"

"Puts his foot down"

"Snapped up by"

taniwharugby

@antipodean although if fit, those are likely the first 2 names...

antipodean

Lions scrum 5m out results in a try. That's all your fault Christie.

Christie has managed to turn me off him in just 40 minutes of play. His passing was poor all half.
