Grow some balls @NZNationalParty, this namby pamby BS is absolute nuts. That and make a bloody stand on the dangerous dogs and dog control act @chrisluxonmp. FFS stop talking legislation stand up say it stops now. @nzfirst is looking like a fat better option right now.

@nzherald Hikuai settlement 8.30am. Water receding but road still closed

Water is receding but Hikuai settlement Rd still closed @HaurakiGulfWx

@KoroTeeps Bloody poser 😂😂 looks like something I could be enticed into if I was a local

Te Aroha's brand new gym. Just by the bridge. Its amazing. I make a brief deadlift cameo at the 18 second mark. Funnily enough I worked in the same building for a few years, making concrete pavers, cattle troughs, pipes and transformer pads for power companies.

@pooliecoast @simongriifinjp @ChalynRugby @rugbyphilosophy @KoroTeeps @roscobigfulla @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz Geez you fellas I’m only just out of rehab after the English game. I think we need a rest and not talk about the team in black for a couple of months or I’ll be straight back in again 😄😄

@simongriifinjp @ChalynRugby @rugbyphilosophy @KoroTeeps @roscobigfulla @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz @target_focus Agree! I’d be stoked to see him play two full games in a row. I believe he’s a real talent from what I’ve heard. Surely would be a better shout re experience than Love at 10

Perofeta has been a project for 3 All Black coaches. Never heard his name mentioned in 1st V options for 26, over last month of chat/commentators /journos. Why not ? @ChalynRugby @rugbyphilosophy @KoroTeeps @roscobigfulla @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz @target_focus

@pooliecoast @ChalynRugby Hard to play your best when you a signed up to hold hitshields for your competition. That’s a great mental booster for the fairy dust spreaders

@ChalynRugby Our most experienced are playing well below their best. They will fire a few shots as they exit the door, for sure

235 All Blacks caps between them. yes, you read that right. This could easily be the last time we see them in the black jersey. Unless they produce two blockbuster Super Rugby seasons or the All Blacks face a major injury crisis, I can’t see them making the 2027 RWC squad or even 2026 squad. And if they make it without those reasons that would tell you everything you need to know about how low the bar has dropped. If this is the last time, Thank you very much for everything you have done ❤️ #Allblacks #Wales #WALvNZL #Rugby 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇿

@pooliecoast @JamieWall2 Get what’s on the scoreboard right is definitely a focus🙄Razor for next any political party position

@JamieWall2 Whose the female reporter? I’ve heard her before .. asks good questions !!

Scott Robertson didn't seem super stoked with this line of questioning 🇳🇿🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@roscobigfulla @pooliecoast This is pinnacle competition. There’s no room for fairy dust.

@pooliecoast @target_focus Thing is what was good before has been broken. That sits with the coaching crew

Some really good points made in this opinion piece. All Blacks review: Tactical flaws and leadership gaps exposed in England loss nzherald.co.nz/sport/rugby/al…

@pooliecoast @roscobigfulla Read this dribble from Scott Hansen. No wonder we a playing like lost sheep

@roscobigfulla Great article. Excellent addition to nzh sports writing

@KoroTeeps @Ringo26 Great talent but what a womble. Plays up for the camera

@Ringo26 Pollock makes me laugh, hes a serious talent and great fun for the game. Stares down the haka like that but first thing he did on the field was have a sook to the AR when one of the ABs shouldered him into touch.

This man is on molly.

@roscobigfulla @pooliecoast @KoroTeeps @DallyJamie @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz Agree. Sititi got burnt last season

@target_focus @pooliecoast @KoroTeeps @DallyJamie @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz In a bizarre way I wasn’t unhappy that Holland was crook. At 22 he shouldn’t be playing 80 minute internationals consecutively. He’s had a massive workload this season

Ok @fairleigh_ag @target_focus @KoroTeeps @timgortonz @roscobigfulla What’s your score tonite ?

@pooliecoast @KoroTeeps @roscobigfulla @DallyJamie @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz The other glaring issue is players like Ardie must be running at 80%. He has played nonstop for two years. Holland has over performed too. If the coaches lack confidence to rest these players for a test or even a half we are fucked.

@KoroTeeps @target_focus @roscobigfulla @DallyJamie @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz It’s hard to fathom the players with more than 50 tests have forgotten how. So the alternative reason is poor strategy ? Or lack of strategy understanding by all of the team what trigger is being pulled ?

@KoroTeeps @pooliecoast @roscobigfulla @DallyJamie @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz Tell me a time in the last two years when they have put a team to the sword in the red zone. I mean like SA do regularly now.

@target_focus @pooliecoast @roscobigfulla @DallyJamie @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz The All Blacks won all the major stats; possession, territory, running metres... ABs dominated possession in last ten minutes. Tackle completion within 2% of Englands....87% to 89% by memory. The Poms made 70 more tackles. Prob shows our attack was ineffective.

@pooliecoast @roscobigfulla @DallyJamie @KoroTeeps @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz Nek minit

@target_focus @roscobigfulla @DallyJamie @KoroTeeps @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz It’s scary🤣. But laps are getting less hopefully mate

@roscobigfulla @DallyJamie @KoroTeeps @pooliecoast @fairleigh_ag @timgortonz There’s an unpredictability about the ABs now. You don’t know how things will go. Sort of exciting in a way

@DallyJamie @KoroTeeps @pooliecoast @fairleigh_ag @target_focus @timgortonz I’m not confident-just faithful lol

@PaulBMcGill @goneers Much different, you have security, can own a dog and a cat without having to find a rental that allows animals. Not sure if that’s a plus🙄

@goneers Be much worse once you add rates, insurance & the interest in the debt

I can’t believe that so many people don’t understand that a 50 year mortgage is really no different than just paying rent 🤦🏻‍♀️

@KoroTeeps @CharlieFelix Opposition- mmmmm opportunity knocks

@CharlieFelix This is the game NZ wants to play. Fast and frenetic. Using the ball to beat the man.

🔉 “No chat, it’s all on vision.” “Your palm will follow your eyes.” Scott Robertson drills falling offloads with All Blacks back-rowers. Features an *elite* bum-slap at 0.31

@fairleigh_ag @freedomgirlnz Because those wee NPKS atoms grow legs and scurry over to fall in the water

@freedomgirlnz Because they read a couple of papers on climate change one afternoon & suddenly know more about farming that farmers ever will. Oh,and they have the "science" #FarmingTheirJobs

Why are councils telling our farmers how to farm?

@roscobigfulla @pooliecoast @KoroTeeps He was seeing different pictures to me😂

@target_focus @pooliecoast @KoroTeeps He was really average

Fabian Holland is a legend already. He has a massive engine and a want to play. He needs to be out new cult hero “FABIAN” @KoroTeeps

@roscobigfulla @pooliecoast @KoroTeeps On some of his kicking choices he fail a HIA

@pooliecoast @target_focus @KoroTeeps Not based on the way he played today. For me the risk of that isn’t worth it. Think we might find that he’ll fail post game concussion protocols
