Or was when I last read it many years ago.

Same technique – he was standing still with bent legs, tackled the Irish player low then drove upwards rather than forward. In this case, Warburton didn’t lift the player’s legs above horizontal, but he then drove him in to the ground.

I.e. this isn’t a case of a dominant tackle hooking the tackled player up to take their weight off their feet as the tackler drives forward. In both cases Warburton was stationary, and drove vertically with no forward momentum.

He isn’t a dirty player and doesn’t seem to have any intent to tip the tackled player right over, BUT his technique is very risky, as it can easily go wrong as was the case on Saturday. Bad luck, but red card was required by the rules.

I don’t think there was more than one Maori or Pacific Island kid in the group, but they always got a big cheer at Kapa Hapa festivals – puny white kids that they largely were :-)

Khandallah is a big suburb, not all of it is posh but there are quite a few embassy houses as one side of the suburb has amazing views over the harbour and city (right over the Stadium).

Lower Hutt is more of a working class “city”, its got some posh bits but a lot of it is relatively affordable.

don’t think chicken is Piri’s problem – it is pies. Generally the catch phrase when he is around is “Who ate all the pies”? a la Shane Warne.

Rugby reunion just come on tele – Jake white on yet another NZ talk show. God he is a media sl*t!!!

Heavens game – advice for you. Get on a plane, visit NZ, educate yourself. Grow up, and apologise.
