There is only one person to blame for the loss.
Hmm, I did think of TV3 for their ungodly decision to run ads on a Sunday.

Maybe a bit early though - the sun isn't over the yard-arm yet...
Ah weel, mak it a nip, jist ta bide awa the times, whateffer.

By the way, Robbie Deans was part of the Mitchel set up which was a pretty disastrous and fractious time for the ABs. Not least of the problems was having Rueben Thorne as captain (and in the team in the first place). I would be interested to hear if he learned any lessons from that time.

And now the Scots are out...
No bile from me as I remember the glorious unpicking of the Woodward Lions not so long ago.
Some points. Tana Umaga never captained a World Cup team. That is a shame and it is a crying shame he did not stick around for this one.
Can someone please give the AB forwards a quicker pick and go game? As a non-rugby viewer sitting next to me said "how can they get points if they just leave the ball lying there?". I do feel that this aspect of the game showed a lack of nerve.
Jim Keyes, rugby writer for the DomPost is an idiot. He seems to think Grog should go. But Henry is the best coach we have and I would dearly like to see him have a role in four years time. Getting shot of him now would be like losing Tana too early. His plans have been working well and will pay dividends going into the future.
I will judge him, He's been brilliant.
Is it too late to say, "God, I need a dram".

Lysergic as an adjective - Like it. Gonna steal it.
Oh FFS, it's only Monday morning and PA is at it already.
Is that a Delorean in the PF video. And if so, was it shot at Southward Car Museum? Cool.
Seeing as I am on a bit of a gripe this morning, can someone at Air NZ or the Reserve Bank upgrade that pathetic Wikipedia entry on the car museum. Totally fails to do it justice.

Gah, missing a "not" in that first sentence...
-
but here I'd have to say "What are you doing to your son, Mr English, that might have influenced him to think that way?"
I would go that far at all. For one thing, whilst it is fashionable to despise our politicians they sacrifice a lot on our behalf and perhaps family influence is one of those sacrifices we overlook (e.g. read Nelson Mandela's autobiography).
For another, the boy lives in Southland :-)

Another way to look at it is this: If you didn't do or say anything when you were 14 that now makes you want to jump in a time machine and bitch-slap yourself, you're either a saint or a liar.
Absolutely. But the attacks on GayNZ by Key and English are equally reprehensible, If folks don't stand up to these sort of comments, made in a very public way, how on earth are 14 year olds ever going to learn what is acceptable and what is not?
Seems like GayNZ did enough to alert English of the issue and held back from rushing to press, for all the reasons given already on this thread.

He gives the 10 Commandments plenty of air-time, without of course acknowledging there is no single, agreed-upon set of 10 Commandments.
We should be thankful, I suppose, about Moses' fit of pique that destroyed a whole load of other commandments (carelessness with God's words, or what?).
With the full monty intact maybe what God had in mind was something much more totalitarian than Copeland presents.

Well - you could ask Gordon himself...
"Western Values" (erm Greek)
Democracy (erm, Greek)
10 Commandments - Ok, the Judeo bit, tick, and it sounds like according to Gordon NZ is bang on with these ones. Waiting to hear from
The Chinese Communists believe Christianity is at the heart of Western success (no referece BTW) Seems that the Chinese are unable to love each other like we can 'cause they ain't Christian. Waiting to hear from Tze Ming Mok on this one.
So, love, respect, civil liberties, freedom, all brought about be Christian values. I wish the guy would read some history.
