It behoves you?

Talking about portraying an intellect you don’t have.

It behoves me to Tell you that you don’t know what behoves means.

Silly boy.

@stew-26: Yeah now Kahui would be great to have back. I think he is a bit wasted on the wing. I know hes a centre but have anyone tried him at 12? I cant recall if he has played there at all.

@Hurricane-24: Anybody know when Kahui will be back ?

@Hurricane-24: Agreed but 12 is still a problem IMO has not been sorted since the dropping of Mauger in 2007 - seems a long time !

@stew-22: 13 has been settled for a long time Stew. Conrad is the best 13 we have by alot. Once he puts the AB jersey on its all go. Best defensive 13 going around and a real thinker to boot. 12 could be intersting, but i think we will go back to the Nonu and Smith show to see how that is again. Been a while.

@Fern-4: Blah Blah Blah, wtf do you know about mana? You have constantly attacked the Haka from day one. Sorry Fern but you have once again been found out. Then to finish off bring in your mates death..... sorry about your loss and all but as you said to Poppa, is this really the place for these sorts of things?

@Te Rangatira-21: Kudos must be given for SBW for his last display of union .... I really thought good ridence but hell did he have a good game in the no 12 jersey, just watched the replay and it was like the SBW show...... It is a shame as especially due to the fact that the 12,13 combo has not been settled for the last few years and now will have to be tested again ! Who will be the contenders ???

@stew-20:
It adds that something to a test match, Stew. For example the Sa v Arg game ….line up….national anthems on a crappy PA sound system……kickoff….quite mindane really when compared to an Ab test.

Plainly said: Fern is a cocktonsil. If he were a Kiwi, he would be a cocktonsil, if he were a Dane he would be a cocktonsil, it’s just unfortunate he is a Saffa…..
I have no interest in his sort being seen as representative of the average Saffa. It’s a stain on those of us who don’t share in his belief system.

If he were a fly, one could swat him, but sadly, he is a human – which means the best one can do, is ignore him.

@trupisero-16: Yeah that game was v Wales, excellent stuff.....ramps up the occasion,nothing wrong with it. The IRB started to clamp down when Cockerill the hooker from England and Norm Hewitt got into a little pushing match.....but thats only human emotion all part of the theatre, the IRB are too soft...pandering to non rugby folk.

@stew-15:
Good thanks Stew….and yourself? All good in Chiefs territory I hope…. Nah….Fernly is all good, well to me he is…..he has some personal issues with Pops I think….they can sort that out between them.

@Te Rangatira-14: Accept the challenge is great - mocking it like that is BS. I fondly remember the 95 RWC final where the boks stood right on the halfway line, virtually toe to toe. Both teams knew they were in for a game. Can't remember the opposition, one of the home unions if I recall where they didn't move after the haka, the ABs wouldn't move either and the ref being ignored by both sides for a while before they moved on.

@Te Rangatira-3: personally think it is very disrespectful and shows the class of the person ---- how are things bud

Te Rangatira — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 06:18:23 +0000

@trupisero-10: Yep....love that stuff when the opposition give it back within reason. I remember at college when the first xv were spat on when doing the haka by a prominent Auckland school, now that is going beyond the bounds of an appropriate response to the Haka

@poppa69-5: Kia ora Pops.....you're a hard man there Pops.....Perhaps we should look to educate those who have no idea about our culture......not try to pick a fight with them. At the end of the day we are all trying to get on with our lives and bringing peoples together is the key to a harmonious society,,,,,,separation will only lead to disastrous discord.
