@rugby_ap You sound like Kevin Pieterson. I think its good to have a guy like this around. Keeps things interesting. Good for the sport. Its up to him to deliver on the field, but not everyone has to be boring af

This is so embarrassing man. Come on - giving it the ‘you want it then’ while hop skip and jumping backwards. And all while your team’s 30 odd points down 😂

@ClintVSmith Sounds like something Trump would say.

@blogboynick @truereckons1 @AceMcWicked They dodged it, then Hipkins decided to have a presser. They can't exactly ignore that. But they are running a very distinct angle

@ben79nz @truereckons1 @AceMcWicked What do u mean see in plain sight, there’s a photo of it there

Why are stuff not covering the Hipkins story???

@blogboynick @truereckons1 @AceMcWicked I the picture and the byline are very much painting a narrative. "Visibly upset" "fights back tears". You should be able to see that in plain sight

@truereckons1 @AceMcWicked U want to take another look at the screenshot in the tweet and which news site it’s from?

@scrumming_ten Poor man's Ben Smith

If you ever wanted proof that Kiwis know nothing about rugby outside if New Zealand, most of them think England won the 2019 Six Nations when in fact it was Wales who won the Grand Slam

@rugby_ap @gwladrugby2025 The rugbyAP rugby account is fast becoming a Ben Smith /Scrumming Flyhalf equivalent

@gwladrugby2025 Perhaps if you used nicer language then I would have replies on. FWIW, I’ve turned them on just for you so do feel free to abuse me directly. Thanks.

This little snowflake is so confident that his dumb paranoid conspiracy theory is real, he's, er, blocked people from commenting.

@ben79nz I feel like we may be missing something here Ben? If you would like to make a complaint, feel free to flick us a DM with the details. We will do our best to help out. ^RH

. @ChorusNZ sent me this email after I had called my ISP and advised my electrician had damaged the fibre. Was happy to pay. The accusatory tone of this is unbelievable. The copywriter must have been having a bad day.

@rugby_ap This is a laughable comparison. Everyone low and two arms clearly wrapped.

Beyond us both, Jimbo 🤷‍♂️

@rugby_ap While I agree with your point. An SA fan calling this out about Irish fans does significantly reduce the credibility of the post

There is a certain subsection of the Irish fanbase (and it’s by no means a majority) that are pathologically obsessed with us. Beyond capacity for any kind of rational thought. Shame that. Their loss

Deranged.

@ChalynRugby Caleb owns the high ball. We were still missing that in Perth. Leicester has cemented his 23 jersey

This is a tough one. #Allblacks

@haribaldijones @LekkerRugbyPod @89combo For NZ maybe DDA

What do you reckon?

@jaredwright17 Did Libbok even attempt the tackle?

Filthy.

@LeeDonoghue @nzfirst Agree the Nats are weak, but let's not forget NZF was responsible for Jacinda

This is NOT New Zealand. We HAVE to vote @nzfirst in 26 folks, Labour lite….I mean National are clearly not the answer.

@davidfarrier But they have tried the death penalty with school shooters... though most kill themselves or are killed by police

@TightFive_Rugby PSDT for sure. Etzebeth shouldn't even be in this list.

🌟 NEW: The nominees for the 2024 Men’s World Player of the Year have been announced… ☘️ Caelan Doris 🇿🇦 Eben Etzebeth 🇿🇦 Cheslin Kolbe 🇿🇦 Pieter-Steph du Toit Who wins it? #WorldRugbyAwards

@jaredwright17 Prob a pen to Eng there

Art of tackling. 🤩 #ENGvRSA

@rugby_ap England didn't create much, other than defensive pressure. NZ poor discipline kept it close

Get out of jail for NZ. England were all over them. But the ABs are mentality monsters. Just find a way.

@thepaulwilliams @SquidgeRugby I think like rugby laws, there is room for interpretation, and refs see things differently. Same with analysis. Squidge work is immense and very interesting. But like any pundit, he sees what he wants to see. The analysis aligns to create a narrative of an existing or view/bias.

Weird seeing people having a pop @SquidgeRugby for not being balanced about North v Southern hem rugby. His channel has probably done more to promote rugby, in both hemispheres, than any other.

@WoburnsFinest @JamieWall2 @SquidgeRugby Watch Aotea Rugby Pod on Sky. James Parsons is real knowledgeable and can get quite detailed on plays

@JamieWall2 @SquidgeRugby Why are New Zealand Rugby analysts on sky decades behind this is the real question

How good’s @SquidgeRugby’s analysis
