No worries mate, I should have considered the different ways it could have been interpreted. I’m sorry for my callousness. It’s a terrible, devastating thing that happened to Christchurch, and I am sorry for and empathise with every one of its victims - both the living and those that have passed on
It’s my bad. I probably shouldn’t have been commenting while still pretty emotional about it all. I had friends still waiting to bury family so should have probably stayed silent. Exactly what the Crusaders has advocated regarding the name change. Irony abounds.
And then the Crusaders barely turn up to the game and the Tahs control the flow and where it was played on the field for a good win. I really should have bitten my tongue.
Yeah WTF? Is he a gangster? These FWs are paid to play footy and they should present themselves professionally when interviewed - petulrnce and arrogance on display - do the franchise's NOT know this is what peeves the 'fans? And then you've got the 5 year olds (presumably his team mates) calling out to him while the interview is going on. Purile, juvenile and downright embarrassing for the players, the organisation, their sponsors and ultimately the 'fans' . What a great advertisement for anything other than rugby
My calves are now as big as my thighs, amazing what having bad knees can do for legs. muscle drops of the quads and the calves win out propping my fat rear end up.
Also I guess never had the need to show off my calves never was out in the open spaces !!
“It’s my fault as I should have anticipated that on the Roar you need to read and re-read your post to make sure that there isn’t the slightest chance of inference or mis-read to trigger someone.”
Jeez, you took my little joke seriously. It wasn’t intended as being offensive towards you in the slightest.
I can assure you that I wasn’t “triggered” in the slightest by your comment, aside from wanting to make a small ironic joke.
Sorry if I offended you.
Ok, maybe I over stated that but in recent Rugby context my point stands.
Apologies for not quantifying on a Rugby site I was talking specifically in a rugby context. I’m not sure what part of my post offended or affronted you to the point you had to bring in those examples, but I do hope you feel better having pointed out, that yes, there are worse atrocities than 50 people murdered in their place of worship.

Have a great weekend Fionn.
No one has more cause and more experience in banding together and making a statement about who we are than ChCh.
Not that it is a competition, but all of Russia, Afghanistan and Israel come to mind.
If you look at how the Crusaders responded in the season following the Earthquakes in ChCh, you would expect the Tahs to be on a hiding-to-nothing in this game. The accused picked the wrong city/province to attack. No one has more cause and more experience in banding together and making a statement about who we are than ChCh.
can't see the vid out of oz.
speaking of footy attire. since when has shrunken socks become part of the kit. so many barely get to the calf these days in super rugby. i remember dean richards and his socks at his ankles but they were normal socks. these days on the oz teams seems to be u/10 socks.
