How long do you think it’ll take him to make sense of that? 😂

Should water carriers stick to water carrying?

Aaaaargh!!! Good for the Chiefs. I was happy that my Highlanders would have a better record than the Chiefs next season. Was looking forward to it. Unlucky.

Gatland confirms return to Chiefs - but in new role

At times? Forever the diplomat Harry.

SANZAAR and RA apologise to Argentina after Ledesma snaps over TRC photo snub

The DMac one did annoy me. He’s five feet tall, why even bother trying to catch that ball? Unbelievable! Retallick or Whitelock would not have got to that ball. What was he thinking?

Shades of Heinrich Brussouw in that performance. He was outstanding.

Boks coach bemoans 'bounce of the ball' as youngster's massive play secures All Blacks win

Still weighed more though aye. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. They’re huge men and it’s not unreasonable to expect the ABs to test their aerobic capacity.

Boks coach bemoans 'bounce of the ball' as youngster's massive play secures All Blacks win

Raccoon-haired Jordie Barrett is in the form of his life. Willie le Roux is in the Big Hole of his career. Jordie can kick a man in the face and have his card rescinded; if a Bok grabs an arm of a halfback in the act of passing, he is carded for slapping the ball, even if he didn’t, but it’s okay because he was offside once.

Bit rich this especially after the Wiese incident. As Arsene Wenger once astutely observed, “everyone thinks they’ve got the most beautiful wife at home.” Still expecting a barnstormer. Funnily enough, the closer we get to the game the more I believe we’ll get turned over by the Boks. Come game time I’ll be a nervous wreck. I don’t enjoy these encounters, I just endure them and hope for the best.

'When you think they're done they rise up': Why Boks can shock the All Blacks

You mean what Ardie couldn’t do with the great blindside flanker Scott Barrett in tow? Hmmmm. He still scored the ABs try in that game. Funny you neglect to mention what happened when they played each other at the World Cup. PSDT making 7 runs for 21 metres and 12 tackles and missing three. Ardie with 9 runs for 42 metres and 8 tackles and one missed. Ardie coming out with a win. The man has played 54 times for the ABs. They don’t just hand those out.

I loved this conversation, listening in on you two reminisce.

I don’t even bother with the half time stuff. I hit the mute button and stock up on the snacks.

Reminds me of Cory Jane, unfussy, unruffled and nails his core roles.

I don’t know which side you are on SW. Must have missed it.

PSDT would have schooled Akira and Savea. ????????! Keep repeating that and it’ll eventually become the truth. I’ve seen Savea outplay PSDT in a come from behind victory against the Boks in SA of all places. When did PSDT become Superman?

'We're aware of the history': Foster names strongest available side for All Blacks clash with Boks

Famous last words. I’m always nervous against the Boks, especially when we are expected to turn them over. There’s something about the black jersey that makes them super human.

How the Springboks hit an English speed bump at Suncorp

😂 Play stupid games win stupid prizes. I’ll never forget the first time I heard that. First year at college in the US, said by a black lady to her screaming little boy. So many memories using the Boston Subway.

Pollard is not exactly a good defender. I’ve seen ALB running over him on the way to the try line before.

Oh, I agree. Ive got a lot of respect for his ability. The issue is the dismissal of Sotutu, Ioane and Savea’s talents. Comparing the negatives and the positives works if the information is processed fairly. You can’t claim that he completed 15 tackles and missed four when he completed 11 tackles. Running impact numbers is all well and good if they’re the proper numbers.

The ‘clunk’ of another All Black piece falling into place under coach Foster

I’m seeing a lot of praise for Blackadder and rightly so. He had a terrific game. He still missed four tackles I think. Imagine if that had been one of Sotutu, Ioane or Savea. A little balance is required here. That’s all.

Hopefully during the Northern Tour aye and not any moment before. They terrify me the Boks. I’m already nervous about Saturday.

Yep! First line out of the second half. Took him long enough.

'Bring back that wild waterboy': The Boks are 'sick' and maybe a return to Rassie is the only cure

I get really nervous when I see messages like this before we play the Boks. Games between us are just ‘different.’ They always seem to find another gear. Something seems to stir in them. I’m always on tenterhooks whenever the Boks are on the horizon. I hate that feeling.

😂 😂 😂 Highlanders fan here. Watching with baited breath.

I think he’s trolling.
