BTW, I watched the Munster replay last night, and I really think we should adopt the use of silence during kicks - it's really powerful shit!
Yeah, I was impressed by that too.
How is this new to everyone now though? Presumably this happened every other time we played in Ireland. I can't recall it being discussed or noticing it during games.
-
Yep, the Irish have done it for a long time. Always thought it showed class.
-
While the All Blacks didn't exactly put up a cricket score
I think the BLACKCAPS would be quite chuffed to be 22/3 at this stage.
They are! And they are bowling!
-
Southee is playing over Kyle Mills. That's bizarre. I would have put Southee in over Elliot, or O'Brien.
Still, three wickets, when Southee is on form, he bowls well.

yeah, I wondered too - but if they've been doing it for ages, this is the first two games I've really noticed it. Maybe we had the volume up more than usual.
-
I presume All Black supporters that are there just fit in and shut the hell up as well. See, there is a way to make them polite :)

Suddenly I reread this & feel really old....

I hate it, it's obvious that our guys can't kick in total silence, they need a bit of verbal abuse to focus the mind.

They were extremely chuffed to have Australia 23/3 (or should I say 3/23) after less than 80 minutes!

34/1 as I write this!
At this point, they're thinking 'series? What series?'
Look at Ryder's hungry little eyes, he can't wait to hit the piss in the dressing room at lunch.

You're assuming he hasn't got a hip flask in his whites.

It's the toilet door window that should be worried.

So is it All White in Dunnes today?

I've always wondered what cricketers do during those conveniently placed ad breaks.

81/4.
Good to see that our traditional top and middle order collapse isn't out of fashion.

I don't know if I'm just a pessimist, or if I've been a NZ cricket fan for too long, but when all the reporters were saying yesterday "NZ is on top" and "Australia is struggling" I thought 'whatever. Talk to me tomorrow when we've been bowled out for 135'.

Heads up, welsh cousins on Facebook predicting an upset this weekend (my dad will rise from the grave, I think, if the Welsh win)
-
If he was in a grave I suppose, maybe he'll reconstitute from the dust of the rose garden he's in. We'll see.

So what are the Welsh trying to say with their shirts. Brains up this part, beer down here - is there doubt which way up?

I love the Brains shirts. They're right up there with the team where everyone is called Mr Price.

I'm pretty sure that just makes you a realist.

I've just been teasing my young cousins (whose father is a similar age to me) about how their Facebook friends may have gone to school with me, "Are any of them called Jones, Evans, Davies, Grffiths, Jenkins, Lewis or Price?"
because they're all called Jones, Evans, Davies, Grffiths, Jenkins, Lewis or Price.
Re: the shirts, does this mean the Munster game's ref wasn't called Mr Deloitte?
-
I'm still stuck at why the teams aren't called just Auckland, Wellington, etc
It's so the teams can be relocated to other cities at will. Like the Sydney Swans, ne South Melbourne.
In other countries, teams are named after the sponsoring organisation:
PSV Eindhoven is named after the Philips electrical firm
Dynamo Moscow was the KGB team.
Israeli team Beitar Jerusalem was associated with the Irgun terrorist group. -

Those are the old jerseys too. The new ones are made by Under Armor [sic]. And because of the no alcohol advertising in France, when they play there the jerseys say "Brawn" instead.

Isn't one of the league teams? Canberra?

Don't forget all the teams in every sport in Japan, like the Yomiyuri Giants. Or the old American Football franchises like the Eagles and the Packers

Or, in a roundabout way, Arsenal.
Just another reason to hate them.

Hey Hive Mind!
I (naively) thought that there would be a free-to-air replay of the League final sometime today. It doesn't look like there is, or am I wrong?
