I have an hour slot free next Thursday.
Fair. Didn’t expect you to take me up on it. What shall we do for the other 59 minutes?

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.

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.

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

Aura's gone. Now our bloody identity has gone missing too.....

There's actually a pretty cool interview with Tana on how Kapa O Pango came into being.
Nothing makes me want Razor to succeed more than a bunch of English piston wristed gibbons who write for newspapers being snotty about him.

Diversity rules on the Fern!
@Victor-Meldrew to be fair, I think we do lack a clear style of play or identity right now, and posted about it a couple of weeks, so not just NZ media getting bites off the fern....

The vast majority of posters are polish chicks, so generalized opinions are somewhat biased in that that direction.
Some Polish chicks also seem to confuse their opinions with facts...
