One thing that needs to be explained (not by the author of course), is Beauden’s simply shockingly low tackle attempts & completions. Nine games & only 20 tackles?! Guys’ dialling it in…

Chivas, you’re making a lot of assumptions.
I have had a study Bible since ‘99, of which I read daily. It has four versions in it. King James, New King James, New International Standard Version & The Updated New American Version. I also have a “Strong’s Concordance” which has enabled a comprehensive study of the King James through its Ancient Greek, Aramaic & Hebrew origins. (What can I say, the eloquence of poetic languages enthrals me).
As to the similarities of Bibles, well, that all depends on your definition of “The Bible”.
There has been many junctures or schisms if you like, between the myriad of “Christian” denominations for well over a millennium. Just about everytime one has occurred, there has been a “new” Bible sanctioned by those in power & proclaimed to be the only “official” Word-of-God.
“Christians” certainly can’t agreed on what defines a “Christian”.
Some believe in Jesus’s divinity, some don’t. Some believe in the Holy Spirit as a divine entity separate from The Father & Jesus, while some believe the Three are One & the Same.
If “Christians” could define what makes a “Christian”, why is there so many denominations?! Why do the “Catholic Christians/Eastern Orthodox et al” include & exclude certain “gospels/texts” written (allegedly) by other pious men, including some of the other 12.
Might be time for you to pick up more than The Book & learn about “It’s” history & compilation.

The psychological community has not yet reached a consensus about wether people & inherently “gay” or “the outcome” of their upbringing, environmental, current societal norms/pressures etc. The “natural” versus “blank slate” divide is as wide as it’s ever been. Regardless of wether “gay” people are born or make the choice, they’re still entitled to the same basic human rights as the rest of us, for which they have been denied for centuries.

“The Bible”, the question is Dr…which “Bible”?!?! There are many, many versions with all & sundry claiming their’s is the only “official” Word-of-God. You’re 100% correct that there can be no “blanket statement” from Christians, when Christians can’t even agree what defines a “Christian”.

I agree 100% Brendan, they barely managed that in 20+ years down here too.

Is that cause they think that they have a better chance of winning?

Good to see from the Reds…question is, why can’t they do it consistently?

Another stellar article Tony! Coincidentally, this is my all-time favourite series. Relative unknowns, Brett Dallas, Matt Sing, Wayne Batrim & Ben Ikin are some of my favourite players of all time. Matt Sing sssooo underrated.

Annesley slams Warriors sponsor over 'cheating of the highest order' bunker rant: 'No comment could be worse'
Agreed, supporters of perennial losers always claim referee bias. It’s a phenomenon across all sports & countries.

Oh so because you read it on Stuff, that gives you (& James) the right to do the same on here…hypo-crite much?

Let me rephrase what I said Scrum. We Kiwi’s would like an equal opportunity to become citizens, as other nationalities have. Since 2001, it has nearly been impossible for the majority of us to become dual or Australian citizens. That’s the equal part we are after & have only just been given. Being here indefinitely paying taxes was simply greedy lip service by multiple Australian governments. Thankfully, this current government will be righting that wrong in the next month or two. I for one, will be showing my gratitude by applying for Oz citizenship as soon as I can.
RA chief's radical draft plan to revive Super Rugby, including Wallabies free to play for NZ clubs
Don’t really think anyone can argue that point Wizz, certainly not with the current state of Nz anyway. Besides, I’ll always love Nz. But, the fact is Oz has been very very good to me & im extremely thankful & grateful for the opportunities Oz has provided. That’s why I’ll be proud to get my citizenship as soon as I’m able.

@ Scrum, so asking for equal rights is suddenly whinging? Must be great up there on your high horse?
You really shouldn’t comment about things you no nothing about.
RA chief's radical draft plan to revive Super Rugby, including Wallabies free to play for NZ clubs
Hey Pinetree, with all due respect, there are many benefits for Kiwi’s playing for Aussie SuperRugby teams. Better healthcare system, better weather, cheaper living expenses, greater opportunities to view world class events (particularly Melbourne; Formula One, Motor GP, Boxing Day Test etc), greater opportunity to network for an after rugby career, cheap trips to Bali, amongst others. Saying there’s “no plus side” to relocate is selling Oz short. If you’re talking about career wise, what if you’re in a stacked team like the Crusaders squad but can’t get any game time? Because of that lack of game time, other Nz teams won’t look at you either. A season or two in Oz where there is less competition can help build game time & experience Not to mention television/game exposure to Nz SuperRugby teams where you could potentially be picked up after that aforementioned season or two as a starter. There are a handful of players whom have followed this path. Tyrell Lomax being one.

Hey Geoff, Ruby Tui on the Breakdown stated that in her contract negotiations, it wasn’t just about the money. Stating that the structure of the comp was part of her considerations. Goldie asked if this meant she was implying a shake-up of Super Rugby Aupiki. I’m hoping this is a hint about a combined SuperW competition, sooner rather than later.
The Wrap: Scary Chiefs make it a neat nine, Brumbies miscalculate, breakthrough moment for Rebels
I dunno Jd…when the Reds & Tahs won their respective titles, it would be hard to argue that Quade & Foley weren’t the form 1st fives in those respective years. That’s 50% of the Oz titles with five teams.

I’m in the same boat as you Broken, really like what I’m seeing from McKenzie (although those charge-downs were not good). Hopefully he can help accomplish the SuperRugby/World Cup double?! 👍
