    According to Steve Tew, the reason those bits were omitted was to maintain the All Blacks’ competitive advantage

    Yup, he actually said that with a straight face.

    Does anyone know if the new Portishead album is any good?

    From what I’ve seen it’s had mixed reviews. It’s a very long time between drinks; that’s for sure.

    There’s a real danger of focussing on the Cardiff game. Lets face it, all the signs were there of an ill-prepared team; first witnessed in Melbourne where there was a similar lack of leadership when things started going wrong.

    The attitude of “if only we’d have got that penalty we’d have won the cup” that still pops up from time to time is symptomatic on NZ rugby complacency, an issue sadly glossed over in the report.



    Sportsfreak’s take on the corporate bingo report here.


    Not too dissimilar from the one above.

    Tony Veitch with sport and magazine-style footage. 11.50

    Classic! Although it’s probably more magazine style footage than actual sport.

    Rich of Ob,
    Much gnashing of teeth, pulling of hair etc on the Sportsfreak forum.

    For example, Sinclair has had 5 “last chance tests” so far this season. Would that be a record?

    Well I agree the Barmy Army have improved things, but it’s still been fascinating purely due to the fluctuations and sudden swings in all 3 tests. That’s what tests are all about.

    I don’t think England have been disinterested; more manically conservative, as opposed to our impetuous impatience.

    PR, it’s still a long, long way off.

    Hasn’t the drama around Fleming’s average being a pleasant little diversion from the sad state of things on the field?

    England don’t deserve to win though, given their negativity throughout the series; highlighted again this morning by batting on and on and on…

    Don’t forget the shambles that was the CNN Coca Cola Olympics in Atlanta.

    Yes I'm talking Tony Ryall. One of those family values types...

    That part of the country really does set new lows for parliamentary representation.

    Lets not forget who the member for Bay of Plenty is….
