I’m oscillating between wanting the English to lose - because, well… - and wanting the ABs to lose because it’ll give them some learnings.

You've set yourself up for a bloody happy day from the sounds of things.

This English side seems much less unbearable than those of the past but I might lose my shit if Stephen Jones gets thawed out to write an article.

We've had the "Losing Aura" article, any sign of "Haka Must be Banned" story?

Don't particularly like it.

Never change, Kruse. Sobriety is seriously over-rated.

Hmmm... I'm more and more often having to go read my own posts to figure out what the hell people are replying to.
Time to self-reflect? Or have a midday beer? Hmmm....

TSF is essentially an island of rugby reason in a sea of idiots

Or the very definition of groupthink::
"a psychological phenomenon where the desire for harmony and conformity in a group leads to irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcomes."

That falls down on TSF with the "harmony and conformity" bit though. "You can all go fuck yourselves because I disagree" tends to hold more sway around here.

Kruse

@Snowy Fuck you - that's all bullshit.

Apparently England have an identity and the All Blacks don't.

And then we usually get a few comments about them doing Morris dancing or something, which I still have no idea what that is . This is the only time I hear about it .

Bones

@sparky that's the most backwards article you'll read in a while

sparky

@Bones It reminds me of the bird-watching guy's infamous article before the 2004 Paris rampage.

Hopefully it will have the same effect.

Nothing makes me want Razor to succeed more than a bunch of English piston wristed gibbons who write for newspapers being snotty about him.
