All Blacks break with tradition
12 Oct 2012
The All Blacks jersey will have the three letters of new sponsor AIG on the front for the next five years, starting from next week’s Bledisloe Cup match in Brisbane.
The sponsorship deal with the US-based insurance company – which also takes in the NZ Maori, NZ Sevens, Black Ferns, Women’s Sevens and U20 national teams – was confirmed at a press conference in Auckland.
‘This is a great day for New Zealand rugby,’ said NZRU chief executive Steve Tew. ‘This is an exciting new partnership that will further secure the future of rugby at all levels in this country and pave the way for our game to reach new fans around the world. Today’s announcement is a game changer for New Zealand rugby.’
All Blacks captain Richie McCaw said the new sponsorship arrangement had his support.
‘It’s really flattering that a company this big has chosen New Zealand rugby to be its cornerstone sponsorship. It shows incredible respect for our traditions, heritage and record of success across all our teams. This will really help make our game stronger right from the community game to the All Blacks so this is great news for rugby.’
The AIG logo on the All Blacks jersey is just under one third the size of the maximum allowed under IRB guidelines.
‘This is not a decision we have taken lightly. Like all New Zealanders we greatly respect the rich and proud heritage of the black jersey, which is why NZRU consulted with senior players and others as we carefully weighed up this latest move,’ Tew said.

aig = a.rseholes infringement game…?..
12 Oct 2012, 07:15 am
I don’t like it, but that is professional sport. It was always going to happen sooner or later. At least the AB’s did it whilst they could command maximum $ I suppose.
The AB’s need to cash in whilst we are reigning world champions and get that cash in the bank whilst we can for future rainy days
12 Oct 2012, 07:15 am
@Transformation-2:
yip
the two are actually well suited considering aig’s history. one group of scummy conmen finding fraternity with another.
aig = adventures in greed

The All Blacks are the most valuable brand in international Rugby. Makes sense to monetise the value of the brand, at a time when the ABs are World Cup champions
12 Oct 2012, 07:27 am
Lmao, hell no man bakkies
aint it to early for this AB bashing?

ALL IS GONE.
12 Oct 2012, 07:37 am
Ah, so it wasn’t worth it to buy out the sponsor.
This is my world and I find it very, very interesting.
12 Oct 2012, 07:39 am
With respect to our New Zealand bloggers, Richie’s one will be in bigger letters: “Ain’t I Great?”
12 Oct 2012, 07:40 am
@Rage-7:
i think you mean:
is it ever too early for the truth?
the answer is no.
@viewer-8:
keep dreaming sweetcheeks
lets get the numbers out on the size of the sponsorship and then we compare.
you, along with a few other kiwis fool yourselves in thinking their national rugby teams popularity stretches to even a dent in likes of the peoples of the globe.
dreaming…
12 Oct 2012, 07:43 am
Oh great!
Time for every UFS or farm-schooled graduate to pretend like english is their 1st language and display some kind of pseudo intellect with what they propose to be witty acronyms to try discredit a brand the likes of them will never understand..

(Reuters) – A public pension fund has sued the chief executive and board of American International Group Inc (AIG.N), accusing them of mismanagement and “grossly imprudent risk taking” that led to the insurer’s $85 billion government rescue this week.

AIG Directors Sued by Pension Fund Over Mismanagement (Update1)
By Sophia Pearson – September 17, 2008 17:25 EDT
Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) — Directors at American International Group Inc., which is receiving an $85 billion bailout from the U.S. government, were sued by a pension fund seeking to recover losses it blamed on company mismanagement.
AIG’s senior management and directors failed to implement proper controls and monitor the risk of losses in the subprime market, lawyers for the City of New Orleans Employees’ Retirement System said in a complaint filed today in Delaware Chancery Court in Wilmington on AIG’s behalf.
“In spite of AIG’s abysmal corporate governance record and myriad red flags concerning the subprime crisis, the individual defendants knew or recklessly disregarded risks the company faced,” lawyers for the pension fund said in the complaint.

Great deal for us, secures the future of NZ rugby and nails the coffin shut nobody will compete now.
12 Oct 2012, 07:52 am
Kiwis are desperate these days – their cash cow the Bledisloe (sp) matches are a massive cash flop and their socialist system is a big drain on their finances.
What is next for the cheats.
12 Oct 2012, 07:54 am

they should put a flour bomb badge on aswel… i have no respect for that jersey .. f them!

@RL-22:
they could always just pull out the old cap in hand party trick
and go straight to sanzar or the irb
12 Oct 2012, 07:58 am
Listen to some of you jealous 3rd best in the world team supporters.
It was only a matter of time before sponsors once again line up to get there name on the most sucessful rugby team in the world and ever was.
Bakkies, see a doctor. Never heard of a 2 year period……especially if you are a guy.
12 Oct 2012, 07:59 am
@12 Bakkies I’m not even a Kiwi, so there’s no bias or hyperbole in my suggestion. I’m in rainy Tshwane. Glad I didn’t wash the car this week
12 Oct 2012, 08:01 am
Perhaps you should stop worrying about the world champs and concentrate on trying to win a trophy ( any trophy).
12 Oct 2012, 08:01 am
wtf is a Tshwane? its Pretoria meneer!
12 Oct 2012, 08:02 am
I wonder what the sponsorship figure is. Seeing that it covers almost all national rugby sides it could be spread a bit thin.
12 Oct 2012, 08:03 am
Hurri big big deal, secures the future and we can concentrate on what we do best – winning.
12 Oct 2012, 08:05 am
Everything is up for sale at the right price. It was inevitable.
12 Oct 2012, 08:05 am
David in conjunction with the Sanzar and Adidas deals its the extra dollars we needed.
12 Oct 2012, 08:07 am
@NZINCHINA-31:
Yep,winning is what we do best.
If the boks could play rugby as good as Bakkies whining and complaining, we would need more than a good sponser.

Interesting that this deal was signed at the same time that O’Neil resigned. I wonder if there’s a connection?
12 Oct 2012, 08:14 am
Who is that posing in the jersey – do not recognise him if he is not standing in an offside position.

Look at his left eye,Looks like he has just finished playing the boks.
Finger print his eye and catch the Bok culprit

@36 Bakkies Proud South African. No, I m not a sycophant so no cape crusading for me at all.
@RL 38 Classic
Only a matter of time before someone blogs that “In time, Some young Maori fellas will tattoo AIG on their arms”
But I won’t be the one to do it
12 Oct 2012, 08:25 am
@Hurricane-39: More a case of his mascara getting in his eye, he should get his lessons from Mia Nanu who also uses makeup.
12 Oct 2012, 08:26 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-41:
Bakkies, you dont even know what the truth is….seriously.
ABs get a sponsor and you go all feral on it.
I find it disturbing when a Bok team is not good enough and supporters like you blame everything else…..thats disturbing.
Now you have a problem with a sponsor of the ABs…..give it a rest
12 Oct 2012, 08:28 am
@goodstuff-46:
lol
hey, the ABs have a couple of wriiten rules you should know about.
1) When visiting SA dont buy their food.
2) Do not share Mascara with friends
12 Oct 2012, 08:29 am
@goodstuff-44:
Wonder why they wanted to back the ABs and not the Boks…..
12 Oct 2012, 08:30 am
@NZINCHINA-28: Not everone is as cosumed by the AB’s as you sheep lovers. We’ve allready started focusing on our 100 year old domestic compition. I realise the ITM CUp is a bit weak and thus you are still hammering on about the RC, you guys played well and will defnitly get the record. Hope the bedesloe gets you an extra couple of bucs, you guys obviously need it, talk about a dead rudder, blacks by 30.

Damn what a jealous clan!!!
And the hypocrisy of it all…calling NZers cheats
How bout bartering a bowl of sugar or a pair of shoes for acres of inhabited foreign land…
Huh, how’s dem apples??
Maybe instead of hating we should learn from their unity and harmony.
There is an organism that spreads itself causing nothing but disunity and incapable of integrating harmoniously with its new surroundings. Yep! A ****** virus

@Hurricane-48: You forgot:

12 Oct 2012, 08:36 am
@Hurricane-49: Cheapest buy? The AB’s are as big a bunch of cheats as they are? They got ripped off though, look at the pathetic size of that logo. As a marketer I would not have taken that deal. But maybe they have an agreement to grow the logo size over the next couple of years to temper the possible fan backlash.
AIG was the one company that took on about 80-90% of the Western World’s (US/ Europe) bond insurance. So when so many stupid Amricans and Europeans could not afford their bonds (on a freaking low rate of 1-2%) AIG had to foot the bill, obviously they benefitted from the “bail outs’ that governments gave to the corporations and not the home owners.
It would be interesting to know what AIG paid for the sponsor.
12 Oct 2012, 08:37 am
@viewer-45: one or two drunk Maori’s will tatoo those 3 letters on their chest – to go with ADIDAS and the fern. Who needs to buy a jersey!
Hopefully the tatoo artist is not dyslexic.
12 Oct 2012, 08:39 am
@goodstuff-50:
Why the silly post.
If keo wasnt into the ABs, a little thing like a sponsorship deal wouldnt even make the headlines.
Fact is alot of south africans are consumed with the ABs….look at Bakkies, he dreams of them.
Strange how you say the ITM cup is weak as i thought that where the ABs start, its where you get noticed.
We were told the ABs were weak as well…..BOOOM
12 Oct 2012, 08:41 am
@goodstuff-55:
Cheapest?
Maybe the Sponsors didnt want eye gougers and dirty thugs supporting there name as well.
You guys are the dirtiest team in the world….fact.
12 Oct 2012, 08:42 am
look at the houses and rugby stadiums in NZ … nothing special and very average … people don’t even attend rugby games anymore because they can’t afford it …. now a bank goes and spends millions on this advertising ,,, they will have to increase bank charges etc … which will make ppl even poorer … expect the Blues, Saders and Canes to play in empty stadiums (ever more empty than 2012) …
12 Oct 2012, 08:44 am
@BrumbiesBoy-54:
lol
Yeah that was in the fine print.
12 Oct 2012, 08:45 am
@Hurricane-57: I doubt any current AB was recognised for playing ITM, or whatever it was called last year. They get spread around by the NZRU and then chosen for AB’s based on Super Rugby performance. Name one player that was playing ITM this year and got into the AB team?
We get the ITM cup over here, have to say it is pretty poor IMO, but maybe it is because I don’t really care about the teams. Also Curry Cup has a far greater heritage. What will your domestic tournament be called next year? The American International Group (AIG) Cup? Pathetic.

12 Oct 2012, 08:48 am
@Hurricane-58: Nah, Americans only care about winning no matter how much cheating is involved, see Lance Amstrong, se American doped Olympic athletes.
Also last I checked the last two yellow cards dished out at international stage was two AB’s? One for continual cheating at the ruck and one for a spier tackle.
Oops…what is the word…BOOOOM.
12 Oct 2012, 08:50 am
@goodstuff-61:
What pathetic is a nation, that has a weak national tournament, weak super 15 teams, no supporters and useless stadiums and rubbish housing and bad weather still gives you clowns a ******* snotting every year. BOOOOOMMMM ******
Woory about your own team cos its cr@p
12 Oct 2012, 08:50 am
my mistake …. i see its a US based insurance company … which makes it even worse ….. why aren’t ppl going to the games in NZ … even the NZ vs Boks game there were only 17 000 … in SA there were 80 000 (IN SOWETO of all places) … are people to scared to leave their homes in NZ?? i’ve read somewhere that “per population” – NZ has the second highest crime rate …. scary stuff !
12 Oct 2012, 08:52 am
@goodstuff-65:
OH no, the ABs and Lance are the same??
Hang on,the last time drug cheat in rugby were found…..they were south africans,wasnt that the case.?

i need a new thread
12 Oct 2012, 08:55 am
@suffer_guy-67:
17000 at a AB and Bok game??
When.
Crime is bad every where but do you need to keep doing the crime stats.
Point is in NZ we actually report crime. Fact is in SA people are too scared to report the crimes.
Now lets keep to rugby, you are looking a tad foolish.
12 Oct 2012, 08:57 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-70:
yeah just go.
You have done nothing but spread the same pathetic rubbish. Boring, winter nights at Bakkies home must just fly.
12 Oct 2012, 08:57 am
Rugby attendances in NZ would increase if Kiwis were allowed to take their sheep into the stadium, put the damn thing on the lap & cuddle up to keep warm.
A jersey made of wool just aint the same
12 Oct 2012, 08:58 am
No problem with the Kiwis putting a sponsor’s name on their shirt,but these people got bailed out by the American people to the tune of over 180 billion in 2010.Obama and his democratic cohorts should really be proud of themselves to allow companies like these to operate like this whilst the American people are in dire economic straights.
12 Oct 2012, 08:58 am
@sharks_lover-69:
I know. These guys are stupid. Go way over the top cos the ABs got a sponsor.
Just so silly.
12 Oct 2012, 08:58 am
@Hurricane-71: Nowhere in the world is the crime as baad as in SA, i mean just last week again a lady of 92 years old raped, Farking animals, no where are people murdered so senselesly
12 Oct 2012, 09:00 am
@Hurricane-75: best to just ignore mate,
12 Oct 2012, 09:01 am
@Hurricane-66: Sorry but our Currie Cup has been running for more than a 100 years, and still going strong. We have dominated that knock stages of SR for the last 4-5 years. Stormers finished top of the log albeit loosing in the semis and has the sharks in the final. You have one team (Crusaders) that has done well with the exception of the Chiefs this year.
Sharks, Bulls and Stormers are regulars in the play-offs. So getting a snotting each year applies more to the Blues, Lions, Cheetahs, Hurricans,Highlanders and every other Ozzie team. Our supporters are awsome, best attendence in Super rugby btw. Doesn’t help if your NZ$ is worth anything if the locals can’t spend it on a SR ticket.
Your supporters only support when you have a 80%+ win record, shucks wonder what would happen to your rugby if you ever dipped to 70% or 60%. The whole union would go bankrupt.
My house is great by the way.
12 Oct 2012, 09:02 am
@sharks_lover-76:
Yeah mate, we dont need to go into it but someone here think its great pointing out crime in other countries. So wrong on all levels.
12 Oct 2012, 09:03 am
@Hurricane-72:
watching turtles race by would be a lot more enjoyable than discussing a disgusting team finding a dirty sponsor.
how do you people sleep at night?
12 Oct 2012, 09:03 am
@Hurricane-68: Which player fool? But please narrow it down drugs, why is drugs bad in sport beacause it is cheating….
12 Oct 2012, 09:03 am
I am not sure why we have to sit and insult each other??
Surely all rugby supporters look forward to every rugby test between out nations??
12 Oct 2012, 09:04 am
So the US will make more money from the All Blacks than NZ will … okay! NZ rugby sold out its own country …
12 Oct 2012, 09:04 am
@goodstuff-78:
and we do all this without the need for filthy play
12 Oct 2012, 09:05 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-80: Boet?? seriously?? thats just damn immature man, surely ur better then that??
12 Oct 2012, 09:05 am
Well done NZRU, great sponsor, with the All Blacks being the most valuable rugby brand by some considerable distance, it’s fitting that their sponsor has been classified by the US Treasury as too big too fail, as rugby would soon disintegrate without the ABs on the scene, who would entertain us, the boks?!
12 Oct 2012, 09:05 am
@fishdish-53: I hate to burst your bubble here, buddy, but the white man is not indigenous to the islands of New Zealand. What exactly he bartered for his acres of inhabited land I do not know. So how it stacks up to a bowl of sugar and a pair of shoes is something I can’t comment on. But we can safely assume it was not a fair and dinkum trade. So pretty please, shove the sanctimonious self-righteous history waving sermon.
12 Oct 2012, 09:06 am
@goodstuff-78:
Blues won super rugby 3 times didnt they?
But why are we talking about super rugby?
we know SA have good teams and so they should. More than double the player base and more money.
We are told continuosly that SA rugby has the best depth and you guys show this by making the play off at super rugby but rarely winning it.
12 Oct 2012, 09:06 am
@sharks_lover-82:
no, i do not.
i despise them
and i despise their rugby
its disgusting
12 Oct 2012, 09:08 am
@sharks_lover-82: We do, but these KeoBlacks come here and make ****, don’t need to make them feel welcome when they piss on my front door.
Screw them, they have the best national team in the AB’s but why rub it in on the apposing teams website? Probably because SilverFern.NZ is designed like Ratalic’s face.
12 Oct 2012, 09:08 am
@sharks_lover-85:
no, i’m probably not (better than that).
because i really do dislike these people and what they have done to the game.
in all likelyhood twenty or thirty years down the line they’ll be viewed as the lance armstrongs of the rugby world.
12 Oct 2012, 09:09 am

thats because we’ree honest.
12 Oct 2012, 09:10 am

12 Oct 2012, 09:11 am
@Hurricane-88: Rarely? LOL. Also Blues won it in the ******* 90′s! THen the BRumbies dominated the competition and then the Saders and then the Bulls, know no team is really laying claim to Dominating but the Chiefs finally learnt how to win more than the odd game.

Imma seek a blog where RUGBY is the subject, even though i know on Keo thats hard to find
12 Oct 2012, 09:13 am
Oh well,this is starting to get a bit silly. From the ABs getting a sponsorship, i get called scum, we have the worst crime to only having one good team in Super rugby. lol
What next….poaching…oh no i didnt say that.
Guys, have a good one, hurricane out.

Dont know how far this went but.
South Africa duo Chiliboy Ralepelle and Bjorn Basson have been suspended and sent home after failing drugs tests.
Hooker Ralepelle and winger Basson tested positive for a banned stimulant following the Springboks’ 23-21 win over Ireland in Dublin on 6 November.
The South African Rugby Union was told of the positive tests late on Sunday.
12 Oct 2012, 09:17 am
Here is a fact for rugby this year between WP/Stormers and the Sharks 4-1 to the Sharks
little Sharks bunnies them breezers are

12 Oct 2012, 09:20 am
@wnbb-74:
There were literally hundreds of companies that were bailed out, but only those companies that the Fed considered salvageable were supported.
AIG were the 3rd highest recipients, so what.
Pissing and moaning about the economic actions of another country in this context is stupid.
The debate is whether the advertising should have been approved.
I am mixed on that issue.
12 Oct 2012, 09:21 am
@thesiener-105: My thoughts exactly
12 Oct 2012, 09:22 am
sharks lover …. and Sharks’ record vs the kak Lions?
12 Oct 2012, 09:22 am
So Americans taxpayers & American AIG clients (mainly) are paying over cash to sponsor a sport that in the USA is marginal at best
12 Oct 2012, 09:24 am
@Black Power-100: I’m sorry mate, go and read my post. All rugby talk. My first post about the AIG being one of the main reasons for the recession. Then I jabbed at Hurricane for accusing the boks of thuggery when the only two yellow cards that came out of Soweto was two AB’s.
Then I related the Americans win at all costs to the AB’s who also only care about winning, it’s fact, only handfull of NZ’s pitch for games when a team is only mildly succesfull. Then I took the stick from NZCHINA for knocking our team.
Never mentioned social issues in NZ or crime or whatever I only do that in retaliation, but also that is a lossing battlefield, SA is filled with uneducated savages who burn trains when they are late. It’s a fact, not gonna argue about crime with a mojority white colonial nation. Of course NZ has less issues, the majority of their country isn’t still living according to tribal traditions that involve using testicals for muti.
So call me a rotten apple. Look back and see my banter is all about rugby. I also ripped of the lack of identity the ITM Cup has, they should give it a name that lasts more than one season, maybe name it after a famous rugby man in NZ or something, give it some bloody meaning, instead it is a sponsored trophy.
12 Oct 2012, 09:24 am
@suffer_guy-108: 2 each
so whats ur point??
Fact is the Sharks have made the WP their whipping boys

@Hurricane-102: Was something in their regular nutritional supliments, they were cleared. Was more down to bad team management than wanting to cheat. Anyway wasn’t accusing off field cheating, the AB’s don’t need stimulants. Their cheating is all on the field.
12 Oct 2012, 09:28 am
@sharks_lover-103: You got us there, very frustrating to loose those guppies all the time, they really have our number.

@viewer-109:
Last time I looked out my office window in down town Auckland, AIG had naming rights to one of the tallest buildings in the CBD.
So you are saying the company has a benefit gig going on for NZ.
Excellent. NZ has a sugar daddy !
12 Oct 2012, 09:30 am
@goodstuff-113: Og hell mate im just trying to change the subject in here, tomorrow you have our no again, thats sport

I have just called my insurance broker and instructed him to change all my policies over to AIG.

@Hurricane-57: HAHAHAHAH @ “Fact is alot of south africans are consumed with the ABs…look at Bakkies, he dreams of them”
killer!
12 Oct 2012, 09:33 am
People must also remember a company as large as AIG, and many operate on the same basis, Will have their own funding out of their operating costs/ income in the area of business.
Meaning monies made in NZ are spent in NZ. The Marketing is to grow in that country, pretty simple economics really.
12 Oct 2012, 09:33 am
@goodstuff-110:
“My first post about the AIG being one of the main reasons for the recession. Then I jabbed at Hurricane for accusing the boks of thuggery when the only two yellow cards that came out of Soweto was two AB’s.”
Post # 55 you called us cheats. I responded after that as boks were thugs.
You sat back and listened to someone calling us scum and cheats, then you jumped in with your bit and you didnt like it when i called you all thugs after …lol
And its Funny how you forgot about the other cards that were handed out in 2012.

This threading is just dripping with bitter and comments towards the AB’s…
Personally I was a little saddened but I like that it’s small, and AIG is no worse a brand than Castle was, or even ABSA if you want to make the Barclays jump.
I liked the way NZ and Barcelona were only two big sport brands that I know of to resist ‘selling’ their names. But we’ll get used to it fast enough and that kind of support can only be good for all the thousands of Kiwi and islander kids dreaming of putting that jersey on. If you see it that way it’s exciting.
On pure rugby terms I’m looking forward to next season. Hopefully we’ll see some real NZ battles. I can’t help but feel the rugby world was cheated out of two classic AB/Bok battles at both the last World Cups.
Oz beat us, but we played well and were getting stronger. The NZ game would have been epic and we may have one. In 2007 an NZ would have been even more special, and they may have won…
I hope next year’s schedule feels better after the concertina effect the World Cup and 2012′s extended super rugby had. The Championship just didn’t have the same aura for me, you could sense it in the stadiums both here and in NZ. Oz looked positively disinterested as a nation. And I don’t think it’s just because NZ were so far ahead.
The argentina crowds seemed to have a sense of occasion that the others lacked…
Congrats of the sponsorship AB’s. Looking forward to taking the trophy from you next year;)

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-121:
Of course NZ cheats, how else have NZ maintained a semblance of a winning record, let alone holding the IRB number one status longer than ALL other team combined.
They are brilliant at cheating, actually they are criminally offensive in the way they play the game.
That said, other teams dream about the skills needed to cheat the way the AB’s do every second of the game they play.
Hence the reason no doubt for the extra income needed to keep bribing the ref’s.
The SAffa crew in particular who are getting serious heat from the wider audience of Bokke fans at not cracking down on the uncontrolled cheating.
12 Oct 2012, 09:46 am
@goodstuff-90: BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA “but why rub it in on the apposing teams website? Probably because SilverFern.NZ is designed like Ratalic’s face.

@Hurricane-125:
2009 was a confluence of factors coming together to give the rugby loving public some small respite from the dirt you lot have dished up over the years.
chiefly among that a bok pack intent on hurting those dirty little inclinations right out of you, same way the bulls did.
12 Oct 2012, 09:50 am

maybe i should tell them straight how the world really feels

12 Oct 2012, 10:07 am
@Hurricane-120: Have too call it as I see it, thrid yellow should have been given for Read for pulling down the ruck from an offside decision as well as a penalty try.
But it’s more case of the refs of the IRB being as poor as ****. You guys are just taking advantage of it.
12 Oct 2012, 10:08 am

The site can be rabid at times, much like keo, but it also has a bit of balance.

the larfablly comic irony in this headline is of course that the ab’s have not in fact broken with tradition, considering they’ve chosen a dirty dodgy sponsor

non-event imo.
really, who cares?
i am quite enjoying the build up to the cc final this year.
will wp be playing a relegation series? because the sharks wont
12 Oct 2012, 10:14 am
@Brads-145:
yes, they mostly are
but i do agree with you in regard to how joubert reffed the final and a few of the decisions peyper made in nz favour against the argies.
i suspect they fell under the spell or are/were just not capable enough to deal with the sickening level of cheating which nz practises..?…

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-148:
Tough.
If your view of the world is the Ref is not skilled enough to detect cheating, then perhaps the obvious answer is you are wrong.
If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, quacks like a duck, then odds are it is a duck
That is obvious verdict of referee’s across the planet.
12 Oct 2012, 10:27 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-154:
You have evidence of this notion that AIG have a corporate maxim of low moral values.

Gysie leave Rhule alone to learn the game under Hawies but if the likes of Serfontein & PSDT are going on the EOYT then fok it, he must go as well!
Hendrik Cronjé, Volksblad
Pienaar, ’n voormalige Bok-heelagter, sê hy weet nie of hy al ooit meer belowende rou talent as die 19-jarige Rhule gesien het nie.
“Hy is een van die beste spelers wat ek al gesien het. Wat my veral opgewonde maak, is dat hy ruimte, en nie die teenstanders nie, op die veld aanval. Dít is ’n teken van ’n speler met visie,” sê Pienaar.
Rhule het vanjaar danksy beserings aan ander spelers drie kanse as ’n plaasvervanger gekry en sodanig beïndruk in wedstryde vir die Shimlas, Jong Bokkies en Cheetahs dat hy nou volgens Pienaar in berekening vir die Bok-span móét wees.
“As ek die Bok-keurders was, sou ek hom oorweeg het (vir die einde van die jaar se toer na Europa). Hy is sterk en baie fisiek. As hy só aanhou speel, gaan hy nog diep spore in Bok-rugby trap.”
12 Oct 2012, 10:36 am
@Brads-159: it’s all hearsay from my side, i’ve never been to the site and not interested…
12 Oct 2012, 10:36 am
@rangerman-158:
Serious, Yes,
So do you have the evidence that I am looking for?
12 Oct 2012, 10:40 am
@Brads-156:
no, that is not what i am saying. i am saying the current system of having only one ref on the field (with ar’s) is not adequate enought to deal with highly organised and willfully deliberate cheating when its practised on a team wide basis and is a part of the culture of such teams.
this is the problem, in that the refs are only human and can only do so much on a field at any one time. the sonner we shift to the new extended tmo powers ammendments the better imo. just as long as the tmo’s in question will actually apply the neccesary retroactive sanctions applicable it would go a long way towards curbing the team-wide cheating of the all blacks in particular.
i’m not sure on the extent of the tmo’s powers in regards to intervening during a match and not needing the refs permission / request to do so. i will look this up.
12 Oct 2012, 10:43 am
@Brads-157:
are you joking..?..
12 Oct 2012, 10:45 am
nothing startling here. An extra revenue stream for NZ rugby. They resisted this type of sponsorship for a long time but at the end of the day its a business now. Just makes sense. At least they were professional enough to try and limit the size of the logo. Note to SARU marketing manager…… the CCC logo has gotten far too big. When CCC first sponsored the Boks the logo showed respect…….now it is fighting for space with the Springbok. Lesson over.
12 Oct 2012, 10:48 am
@Brads-106: Why should the American people suffer when their bailed out companies pump millions of dollars into politically insignificant countries?Obama failed the American people when he handed billions of their dollars over without strict conditions.

@Transformation-161:
Fair enough.
I am really only an observer on Silver Fern and have posted a dozen or so comments in the last 5 years.
It is different from keo, and obviously NZ biased, but certainly not exclusively so.
starting a new thread with the tag “Bokke cream average AB’s” will likely spark a bit of heated bante.
12 Oct 2012, 11:00 am
surprised nzru couldn’t find a local sponsor.
there must be some largish nz companies around……
or are they all co-ops or moms and pops stores?
12 Oct 2012, 11:01 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-164:
Correct, as distinct from any other corporate, including Adidas who no one has a problem with, but is likely to be donkey deep in exploitation.
What makes AIG’s sponsorship morally different from any other corporate sponsor?
12 Oct 2012, 11:02 am
Bakkies we have lost. Nuff said. Calling the AB cheaters won’t change a thing about how “k#k” we played.
12 Oct 2012, 11:06 am
@wnbb-166:
Sorry, I am a bit unsure of what you mean here.
Do you suggest not propping up those companies and instead letting then collapse would have been a better option for the US economy, and by extension, the rest of the world?

Actually Rangerman AIG had massive derivative exposure and their risk management was terrible no different to all the other banks who went tits up and were bailed, f uck you guys are desperate for anything to clutch onto.
12 Oct 2012, 11:15 am
Oh – and sponsorship is simply another form of marketing, like television print or web advertising. Aig is simple using this sponsorship toro mote its brand and therefore revenues. This is normal commercial dealing, and why on earth should US shareholders or taxpayers be concerned about? Answer – they shouldn’t.
12 Oct 2012, 11:16 am
@Zandberg Jansen-170:
no, two seperate issues equally worth highlighting.
@Brads-169:
fair point, but i hardly think its on a comparable scale? i would say its standard practise the world over for manufacturing companies to exploit their respective workforces by paying them as low a wage as they can possibly get away with.
this is after all the underpinnings of free market capitalism and is the accepted norm. also, equally important are the facts that (i) doing so is in no way illegal, rather it is legal and (ii) the actions of adidas, other that them paying low wages, have not at any time bordered on and progressed beyond the determinations/definitions of what constitutes unlawful and illegal behaviour, whereas aig’s has.
so, not only is aig a company which probably pays its lower workforce members a low wage its also a company which, through its behaviour, has at times behaved unlawfully and dishonestly in the sum of all its actions leading up to and after the bailout of the us financial system.
its aslo worth noting that even in the midst of their financial troubles and being bailed out by their government the executives and other similar parties at the head of the organisation continued to award themselvs and frends rather generous and large bonuses, payouts, cashing of stock options, financial settlements and such like…. i woud think this highly immoral and unethical at the least.
12 Oct 2012, 11:17 am
China, it simply reflects a 19th century working class attitude that business and business owners are evil.
12 Oct 2012, 11:17 am
@Brads-171: Didn’t AIG cancelled their MANU sponsorship at the the height of the recession??Soon after that, they received 185 billion dollars of American taxpayers money with no restrictions whatsoever.What has brought about this change in their sponsorship policy?
12 Oct 2012, 11:20 am
@charo-168:
Effectively yes.
The Ab’s are an animal that requires far more financial support than any local sponsors could provide.
Lets be realistic.
NZ has a rule that only domestic players are eligible for the AB’s. This rule binds fringe players to the NZ system and strengthens the over all player base.
The only way that rule is maintained is through sponsorship and TV rights.
This deal with AIG is a new income stream.
12 Oct 2012, 11:20 am
@ bakkies 177: insurance companies aren’t known for their low wages, less still exploitation of third world workers (unlike sportswear companies). Adidas was, however, pilloried in NZ in the 80′s for doing business in south Africa despite apartheid.
12 Oct 2012, 11:23 am
@bakkies 177: what evidence do you have of unlawful behavior by aig? Paying bonuses big or otherwise to execs is simply capitalism at work as you refer to it…
12 Oct 2012, 11:23 am
Bakkies rubbish they got caught on the wrong side of their derivatives position and went under like plenty of other institutions did, Barclays, Royal bank of Scotland, Merrill Lynch etc etc
12 Oct 2012, 11:24 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-177:
The ills you describe, (without evidence) are no different from those that could be leveled at umpteen other corporates.
I couldn’t care less really.
12 Oct 2012, 11:25 am
@bakkies 177: actually I don’t know why I am bothering to address anything to you because you are clearly a bitter individual with a distorted view of the world. I apologies, I won’t make this mistake again!
12 Oct 2012, 11:25 am
@NZINCHINA-175: personally i couldnt give a toss.
i am not arguing on the merits or demerits of AIG’s sponsorship of your team you precious kiwi.
i simply hate all the institutions like AIG that leveraged our childrens future to make money today through pure greed.
f uck you kiwis are a precious lot seriously?
12 Oct 2012, 11:26 am
Bakkies just made an AIG voodoo doll.
12 Oct 2012, 11:27 am
@NZINCHINA-183: “caught on the wrong side of their derivatives position” eh?
fancy words buddy, why dont you examine how they ended up on that side of things rather than try using bull ****?
12 Oct 2012, 11:28 am
That’s the big bad world for you Ranger, most men are greedy if its presented to them on a plate. ( excluding you)
12 Oct 2012, 11:28 am
@wnbb-179: To answer your question:Why not.No taxpayers money should be used to bail out private companies.No government should interfere in the free-market.It would have been devastating at first if companies like AIG had gone bust,but normally the market correct itself over time.That has always been ,over centuries,how the free-market has operated.

@corporal punishment-181:
i doubt that boet, and i’m not talking about the higher level execs and/or employees in their respective financial services divisions who would stand to make a lot in bonuses or the guys who make commisions on policies sold.
i mean as a whole, when considering every single employee of the company then its probably a very low average percentage for the total employees (doing all the other stuff). capatilsm wouldn’t work otherwise.
the new zealand all blacks did business in sa, despite apartheid.
12 Oct 2012, 11:33 am
Why we brawling about this?
12 Oct 2012, 11:33 am
Unreal
Almost 200 posts on the AB’s new sponsor……?
Apart from being nothing more than a snippet of info to file in the furthest recesses of the brain, is this REALLY worth 200 + posts?
12 Oct 2012, 11:34 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-163: Bakkies, if the boks could run, catch, and pass in one fluid movement, you’d not be complaining about a conspiracy of the AB’s alleged continual cheating. The trick here is to win, winning ensures you don’t allow the AB’s to own the Boks every single year, home and away. You can’t have the AB’s refer to Soccer City as their holiday house.

carry on.
@Brads-191: ok brads, i like you so i am going to be real easy on you and just say that your defensiveness over AIG’s corporate record is absurd.
just laugh it off if you dont think its warranted but AIG are pigs mate, they and their ilk have ruined MILLIONS of lives.

lots of conflict of interest, willful defrauding at play which has all been covered up for the most.

mpundulu, the all blacks are a despicably filthy team and it is rather a pity in my honest opinion. as you point out they do show good skill in the fluidity of their running, catching and passing game, but its all for nought when considering the platform from which they execute these skills.
which is a pity really as i honestly think they could have been so much more in and to the world and the game as a whole.
12 Oct 2012, 11:45 am
@NZINCHINA-175: Actually, you poor sheepshagging dumbfuck you got no idea wtf you are on about…
AIG is not a bank… Simply put they are the dumfuck whales who were stupid enough to provide insurance for CFDs, CDOs when the farken Banking Vampire squid thought these farken things were fun to fark around with and make everyone rich…
Essentially these AIG fools were the main one stop shop insuring against the downside of ALL these “little” bets taken by the Vampire Squid against one another… The outcome – AIG exposed themselves, their shareholders and their bailout buddies to UNLIMITED LIABILITY.
In Essence a “fine” sponsor for a “fine” team – Stupidcunts sponsoring Dishonestcunts… A perfect match
12 Oct 2012, 11:46 am
@Brads-200: Let me asure you.Millions of Americans would not have shed a tear if AIG went bust at that time.I,however, do understand your protective stance on AIG’s financial record and dealings:hell,you would probably extol the virtue of Jeffrey Dahmer if he had sponsor your precious Kiwis.
12 Oct 2012, 11:48 am
Yes Hg I know they aren’t a bank you halfwit but they were all caught up in the same mess essentially.

Time for a pop quiz.
Name the team:
Noun 1. nouveau-riche – a person who has suddenly risen to a higher economic status but has not gained social acceptance of others in that class
Name the fans:
Adj. 1. nouveau-riche – characteristic of someone who has risen economically or socially but lacks the social skills appropriate for this new position

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-213: Mate, the sole reason for your focus on unearthing a conspiracy is to explain away the reason that the Boks have 62% win record post isolation, and what typifies this is the fact that the Boks biggest has the better of them. However, if the Boks were to start being dominant, you’d have less intensity in your accusations. Losing is an awful thing and some just can’t manage their reaction to it. What you ought to do is thank the AB’s for keeping rugby relevant in global sports as kick and chase is not bringing new fans to the game.

What i find amazing about this AIG saga,is that the US Treasury department,technically,still own this company with shareholding to the tune of 53% of common stock.In fairness to them they already made a profit of 18 billion dollars to the American taxpayer due to the bailout and expect to make a further profit when they eventually sell off the 53% stake.In the meantime we can safely say that the American government is the biggest sponsor of Kiwi rugby.The Kwis supported their war efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq,so,maybe,it’s a fitting alliance.

Some All Black supporters die, and as expected they go to hell. The devil notices that they’re quite happy, and asks them why.
They explain “After the lousy weather in New Zealand, we actually enjoy the warmth.”
The devil thinks “I’ll fix them” and turns up the heat. He finds the Kiwis with their shirts off enjoying a chop on the barbie and having a frostie.
“Whenever the weather gets this good in New Zealand, we can’t waste it, so this is what we do”
The devil decides to wipe the smile off their faces by turning the heat down to freezing. He returns to the Kiwis to find them celebrating.
“What now?” he asks.
One explains “Well when hell freezes over, we’re sure to win the Rugby World Cup for a third time”

this much hatred because of a sponsor really shows what a sick society you have..
is it jealousy? because seriously, who’d want to sponsor the bokkes?
theyre rubbish, K@k in the local vernacular..
perhaps if your rugby team could actually PLAY rugby, then youd have people willing to put money into it..
run back to your boring bash and bash CC comp, at least then a Saffa team will actually win the prize…

ask yourself why?
what company doesnt want to be associated with a team with an 80% winning record? A team that hasnt lost a game in 16 tests?
how many multinationals are lining up to sponsor the Bokkes? and why would they? what company would want to associate itself with a team that wins just a little more than half the games they play?

The Federal Reserve and the US Treasury not only rescued AIG from bankruptcy but also reported a profit on its four-year investment and has recovered a total $197.4 billion from the company. That’s all of its original investment of $182.3 billion plus a return of $15.1 billion to taxpayers
So has SARU made around 200 billion in 4 years?
12 Oct 2012, 14:27 pm
poppa, go google SA rugby & AIG …. 5 years ago AIG wanted to sponsor the Boks … we said no thanks! we’re no sell outs ….

Although I guess there is a pretty poetic link between how kiwi’s approach rugby and how AIG approach business

@BrumbiesBoy-342: nah, Im actually against the sponsors logo on the jersey, with that much tradition and recognition it cheapens it imo…but in todays world it is inevitable… the bonus is the exposure it MAY give the ABs in America, and also rugby…
12 Oct 2012, 14:30 pm
NZRU has to get money somewhere … cause they sure as hell aren’t making alot from ticket sales …. no one watches rugby in NZ – Super 15 avg attendance was 8 000 per game …… ITM cup is only 4 800 ….. Boks vs NZ test had only 17 000!

12 Oct 2012, 14:32 pm
@Atreides-346: you mean winning? its this approach that sees us continuing to increase the overall head to head tally..
as for the cave, its better then corrugated iron shacks that so many of your countryman have to live in…
but then, I suppose in your ivory tower behind your gated community you somehow miss all that…

@suffer_guy-349:
Whats the difference between Adidas and AIG?
Both are sponsors so where is the sell out?
SA has sponsors as well. I dont get what you are saying
12 Oct 2012, 14:34 pm
@Nikita-353: I fail to see the relevance of the question?
12 Oct 2012, 14:35 pm
@suffer_guy-349:
Again, where was this 17000 crowd attendence when the Bok and NZ played?
12 Oct 2012, 14:35 pm
@poppa69-355:
Don’t answer a question with a question.
12 Oct 2012, 14:35 pm
@suffer_guy-349: Strange that slightly more people turned up to watch NZ play Argentina and Australia than did to see them play the Boks. Any guess why?
12 Oct 2012, 14:35 pm
@Dawn-339:
No Retalick is not one of us Huttites.
But if he was, we would love him for all he is worth.
It is the man within that counts.
12 Oct 2012, 14:36 pm
@gonzo-358:
The tickets were free?
12 Oct 2012, 14:36 pm
@Hurricane-354: the funniest thing in the world is that the Bokkes actually wear three kiwis on their jersey..
even they want to be like the best rugby team ever..
12 Oct 2012, 14:37 pm
faark you guys can talk allot of *****….but very entertaining bull
12 Oct 2012, 14:38 pm
@Nikita-357: what was the question?
12 Oct 2012, 14:38 pm
gonzo .. Argentina fans travelled to NZ in their thousands … and what a let down the country was for them …

what a plank, are you jealous because you never got a chance to kill any of them?
12 Oct 2012, 14:41 pm
nikita are you lindsay lohan? you look very similar …
12 Oct 2012, 14:41 pm
I’d love to see the reaction if this story was posted on a US site like Huffington Post about AIG sponsoring the national team of a couple of tiny Pacific islands for some game called rugby.
12 Oct 2012, 14:42 pm
@Nikita-351: No one rushes the katman. No one.
12 Oct 2012, 14:43 pm
@suffer_guy-364:
Answer my question
Where was this 17000 attendence when the Boks vs the ABs played.
12 Oct 2012, 14:43 pm
@suffer_guy-368:
No I’m not. She had plastic surgery.
12 Oct 2012, 14:43 pm
@poppa69-361: The funniest thing in the world to my wife is the Haka, I really try to make her appreciate it but she just cans herself whenever she happens by and they are performing. She is not a rugby fan.
12 Oct 2012, 14:43 pm
anyways, good night to supporters of the third best team in world rugby..
lucky Argentina was involved, or you would have had yet another wooden spoon..
must suck having to support such mediocrity so often, but then I guess you guys are used to it..
Saffa rugby, what a fcken joke… too dumb to develop skills, too stupid to recognise the fact..
12 Oct 2012, 14:44 pm
@poppa69-352: Yep AIG sure did win in 2009! But ok, play obtuse.
As for the cave, this is called a ‘figure of speech’. These are taught in ‘schools’.
In this instance, referring to you perhaps not being completely up to speed on global affairs, precious. Don’t be so literal about everything.
12 Oct 2012, 14:44 pm
@cane-359: So you’re not of the opinion that Retalica sold out with the All Black album?
12 Oct 2012, 14:44 pm
@gonzo-327: With the global economy asfuckedup as what it is, we should all just be chuffed as hell that the sport we all love HAS sponsors fullstop.
Call me cheap….but I honestly don’t give a damn who sponsors national teams, as long as money continues to be thrown into the game of rugby (at all levels I might add).
If we want ‘cleaner than the driven snow’ sponsors, the Boks and AB’s would both be stuck with a ‘mom and pop’ home enterprise’s name on their shirts…….
The Boks – proudly sponsored by Kerkorrel’s Koeksusters.
The AB’s – proudly sponsored by Larry’s Lamb pies.
12 Oct 2012, 14:44 pm

Even the Boks started to laugh when NZ did their haka …. you could see they tried not to, but it really looks silly
12 Oct 2012, 14:46 pm
@Atreides-375: do you have schools in SA? are they only for those with privilege?

@Nikita-365: This should be interesting.
I thought he was long gone!
12 Oct 2012, 14:48 pm
My opinion not that it counts for much.
Woolworths would have been a good sponsor for the All Blacks.
12 Oct 2012, 14:49 pm

12 Oct 2012, 14:49 pm

is it ABS at soccer city 2 wins
Bokkes at Soccer city 0 wins?
please, lets move on to travel disadvantage, thats one you guys havent mentioned in a while..
shame thats been truly dealt with now..

hurrican there were 15 000 locals and 1960 journalists, a few cameramen, a tv ref, 2 touch judges, a ref and 30 players on the park … i forgot about the coaches and reserves … okay 17 025 then!
12 Oct 2012, 14:51 pm

I thought CC was the business, yet ABs put 3 letters on the jersey and that thread kick the CC thread. Makes you wonder what is more important….ABs or the CC?

@poppa69-340:
Pops NZ get $107 millon US for 5 years from superrugby – the Poms get $244 million for 4 years for their domestic competition.
With your 80% win ratio you get 80% less earning than them if you include sponsorship and ticket sales.
It is peanuts and the sooner we dump the antipode dead weights the better.

when the final whistle blew………………………………….the Boks where bowed with laughter…………………………………………..stomach cramps from laughing. 16-32.
what a hoot.
60% posession and territory and they get shafted by 16 points.
Belly laughs from the forwards and snigggers from the backs…………………Yeah Right.

It costs just over 100 million (NZ $) to run all NZ rugby per year.
If we get 107 million US $ then great.
Poms can keep their $244 million,they may need to use it to try and buy more kiwi players.

The Springboks are the true heroes. That’s why Hollywood makes movies about us.
More obstacles, challenges and hardship than any other team in the world:
- Quota players
- Quota coaches
- Racist government
- Farm Murders and land redistribution
- Loss of players to foreign countries
- Cheating Kiwi Refs (Bryce Lawrence + Teach the Japies a lesson).
- Rules changes whenever we reach number 1 ranking. (2007 and 2009)
- Isolation against us by countries guilty of the same or worse history
And still, we win the first ever Real World Cup on our first attempt.
Best world cup win ratio of any team.
Real men, real character, true heroes.
Hollywood recognises this and I agree.
Green is the colour of greatness. Black is the colour of evil.

1. Hoskis and that devil Jurie Roux
2. The harlot Watsons
3. The kiwis and their inbred cousins
Blood has been spilt and superrugby will die.
12 Oct 2012, 15:31 pm
@suffer_guy-475:
NZ cannibals??
This is probably why you guys missed alot of international rugby.
Anyway you still havnt said where the game was and when for the 17000 attendence
12 Oct 2012, 15:32 pm

@RL-478:
oh, still not bad. Better than not getting 107 million.
I am sure SARU would jump at 107 million.
And dont blame NZ for the lions kicking out.
You really needed to win more than what 3 games every year.
12 Oct 2012, 15:40 pm
Not going to read all these posts, but….isn’t AIG technically broke??
I know they got $170 billion bail out, so how can they now be a sponsor???
Not knocking the money the AB’s are getting, just the company giving it.
12 Oct 2012, 15:42 pm
@Hurricane-483:
Actually where did you get the figure of 107 million from ?
According to what i have found is that the number is undisclosed but they have said its the second biggest sponsorship in the world. The biggest rugby sponsorship ever is to the ABs which goes to 2019, and thats from adidas.
So where did you find your source?
12 Oct 2012, 15:45 pm
@londonshark-484:
yep 180 million dollar bailout.
Since then they have payed off the bailout and profited 19 billion US dollars.
Not bad. But according to a poster here (suffer_guy), SARU makes more money than 19 billion a year.
12 Oct 2012, 15:45 pm
@RL-478:
The Lions kicked themselves out.
For the better part of 12 years they’ve been mucking around (both on and off the field).
Poor old Owen on Boots & All has been talking about his ‘rebuilding lions’ for more than decade (to the point that even he laughs at them, his former team).
Surely as fan you were getting tired of finishing last every single year????
12 Oct 2012, 15:47 pm
@Hurricane-486:
Oh okay.
But I don’t think they’ve payed off 180 billion mate!!?? Not a chance in hell.
I think the US goverment kinda gave it to them.
12 Oct 2012, 15:47 pm

@londonshark-491: So the US is sponser the Kiwis, the next thing we here, the AB will have to where NFL crash helmets, and we will a offense and a defence team.
12 Oct 2012, 15:55 pm
@londonshark-491:
you’d be surprised at the amount of kak these kiwis will make up and the lengths to which they’ll go to in the course of perverting the truth.
major headcases

@londonshark-484: don’t be so gullible londonguppy – true evil is printing money from thin air. Yes those evil Americans and their privately owned federal bank, run by antichrist zionist owners who just print and print and print – good match for the cheats.

As I understand it, the US Treasury is due to sell off some more shares soon, but doesn’t believe it will recover the full amount.

@David-502:
it will never, ever recover the full amount.
everybody knew this.
just more financial ‘magic smoke tricks’ from the americans, like so much else of their financial systems.
biggest con job in history, and boy… when it goes pop….
12 Oct 2012, 16:11 pm
Oh, now I get it. AIG with an I.
The whole day I’ve thought they were sponsored by the guys who make dishwashers. Thought that was pretty ironic, since a hundred cycles on Hot couldn’t rinse them clean.
12 Oct 2012, 16:13 pm
Kiwis are genuinely very filthy people. If tbey’re not molesting sheep and other live stock, theyre breeding with their family members.
Apparently Richie McCaw has had a child with his mother and no one is meant to know about it.
Filthy, filthy people.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-503:
As unappetising as the bailout was, I rekon it was the only option to avoid a global meltdown. The major problem is that there were no controls on how the money was to be used.
With QE 1 & 2 the Fed has effectively been allowing the banks to re finance themselves at the US citizens expense.

@Hurricane-470: Mate, did you think the best Bok team played in 1986?
You know we would have won the 1987 trophy so often referred to as the “first World Cup”. We were the best team in the 1980s, proven by the fact that we gave it to you up your Winnie the Pooh in 1986.
12 Oct 2012, 16:36 pm
@willievz-508: did you ever get an answer as to exactly what “tradition” has been broken by Tew & kie?
12 Oct 2012, 17:21 pm
@Transformation-509: Nope.
Perhaps the limited vocabulary of the Kiwis caught up with them.
12 Oct 2012, 17:21 pm
@poltergeist-505: Wow, that’s one strong statement to make, bud.
Does your source have some type of proof of this?
12 Oct 2012, 17:30 pm
@poltergeist-505: you like what age?? 5??
pathetic ffs
12 Oct 2012, 17:44 pm
@ Brumbiesboy: yes there is proof, but the scandal has been covered up and the child given up for adoption.
@ Sharks lover: shhhh
12 Oct 2012, 17:46 pm
Willie you still talking a big game like you before Soweto.
12 Oct 2012, 17:50 pm
@poltergeist-513: The dirty rotten scoundrel!
You would of course be prepared to make that statement to Richie face-to-face would you?
12 Oct 2012, 17:53 pm
Heheh… This is one outrageous thread..
12 Oct 2012, 17:55 pm
@poltergeist-513:
Where did you hear this rumour?
12 Oct 2012, 18:21 pm
@NZINCHINA-514: Get a map.
12 Oct 2012, 18:27 pm
Willie you keeping telling me the Ab’s are going to fold on the big stage, WC Soweto yet the only team folding is yours, next you’ll be telling us we’ll fold and won’t get the world record.
12 Oct 2012, 18:36 pm
@NZINCHINA-519: Again, get a map.
12 Oct 2012, 19:13 pm
@poltergeist-513: You’re telling me that Richie has a son with pure genes, not watered down by some lass outside his family. How old is he? Will he be of AB age by 2015? All our problems solved!

Katman, Nikita and Dawn.. ? wtf? I can understand the ladies enquiring about my “schnauser”, but you Katman… says it all right there actually. and I have to laugh, this obsession you saffas have with size hasnt exactly done your rugby team any giood has it? still the wannabees who cant beat the Wallabies
Poltergeist
hahaha funny guy, are you the saffa they found having s.ex with corpses at the morgue? hence the nick? just another dumb neanderthal living off the profits of the oppression of a peoples for however many years..
IN 1987, SA was invited to the WC, they declined the invitation…
but its great to see so many knuckle draggers crying because their rugby is average, third rate and pathetic..
12 Oct 2012, 22:44 pm
so
60% possession
did not concede a penalty for almost sixty minutes?
and your opposition STILL scored twice as many points? at altitude? after being disadvantaged by travel? in front of 80000 knuckle dragging Neanderthals?
hahahahaha
SA rugby isnt kak, it’s an abomination.
12 Oct 2012, 22:49 pm
Pos Team P W L D Pts
1 All Blacks 6 6 0 0 26
2 Wallabies 6 3 3 0 12
3 Springboks 6 2 3 1 12
4 Pumas 6 0 5 1 4
says it all doesnt it… 14 more points then the closest competition, that being Australia… no wonder so many of our younger generation see the Aussies as our true competition..
and who can blame them really..
must admit, the four try bonus point we got from the game at Soweto is pure satisfaction, 100% pure… have to laugh at a team that want to be “the best” yet allow four tries, that really is comical…
as a circus, there is none better than SA..

12 Oct 2012, 22:58 pm
A bit rich Saffers get on NZ’s case for putting three small letters on their jersey. We have had CASTLE, ABSA, SASOL emblazoned on ours for years and now some on this blog are so high and mighty to criticize. Surely someone else has picked up on this but I dont have time to trawl through all this stuff on this thread – Keo put a limit on this Bakkies guy please – his hate speech and unfounded statements are embarrassing as his namesake was.
12 Oct 2012, 23:16 pm
@outwide 526: good post, there have been a number of saffas on this site telling bakkies and HG to give it a rest. Thanks for shooting straight.
The fact that this a no news story like this about the all blacks can generate over 500 posts on a south African rugby site, shows why a multinational like AIG wants to sponsor us. We are by far the biggest draw card in international rugby, and the most marketable.
Every side that has won the world cup has cashed in on that success financially in the years following. The All Blacks have, however, taken this to a new level due to their winning record over the last 8 years (been number 1 for 95% of that time) and being the first team since 87 to dominate the international scene in the year post a world cup win.
This financial windfall will give the AB’s an advantage over their rivals over the next few years. Let’s hope we don’t squander li!
12 Oct 2012, 23:18 pm
Ps – there is a high likelihood the nzru will f.uck it up so no need for saru to panic just yet!!!!
12 Oct 2012, 23:19 pm
so, the team a lot of its supporters will vehemently state are the best in the world, conceded 20 points while scoring NONE in the second half
against the “pretenders” from those three lil islands at the bottom of the world?
20 points to nil, 1st versus at the time the 2nd ranked team in the world? no wonder a sponsorship deal has you all so flustered, it is the last thin scraps of meat on the bone that you cling to in some vainglorious attempt to shelter yourselves from the truth that the ABs own your team, and did so in your own country (like they did in 08, 19-0 was it?)..
but hey, with all this incredible “depth”, surely that shouldnt be the case?
oh thats right, political interfwerence, quotas etc etc etc..
hahaha loving it, truly… its great to see so many Saffas having to deal with the fact that you guys are so far from the best at rugby..
12 Oct 2012, 23:58 pm
so lets look at the test season for comparative purposes..
the ABs have played nine tests, and on two occasions have kept their opposition scoreless (Ireland and Australia) – they have a 100% win ratio this season, and are now one win away from equalling the record of most consecutive wins. If they can beat the Aussies in Brisbane, they will then face Scotland to extend it to 18..
The Boks have won 4 tests from 9 (
), beating England twice, Aust and Argentina once and with two draws.. 3rd seems to high in the rankings for a team that cant even win 50% of its tests.. they could only win 2 tests in TRC, so a 33% percent win rate… 
this from a nation who think they are indisputable the best, that have so much deopth of talent etc etc etc.. bring back PDV I say, at least he provided us with laughs off the field, Meyer only provides us with laughs in the way the Boks play and his selection policies..
Aussie have won 6 from 9 tests, doing something the Boks couldnt in beating Argentina IN Argentina, with only one loss coming at the hands of another team besides the ABs..
maybe the Boks should withdraw from the championship until they are good enough to actually win half their games?

13 Oct 2012, 01:55 am
Keo, put a bar on this poltergeist-513: guy. His comments are insulting for this site and for true Kiwi and South African supporters.
13 Oct 2012, 01:58 am
I find it amazing that South Africans are complaining about a logo on our jersey when you have had one for years. Need i remind you CASTLE, ABSA, SASOL
13 Oct 2012, 02:06 am
@poltergeist-505: and what is your excuse moron…how pathetic…grow up or do you still like to be stuck to your mother nipple…
13 Oct 2012, 02:07 am
Some pretty-forgettable mouthbreathing pilgrim used to take delight in retorting “A4Y” whenever the ABs won another trophy or when they once again dined out on smoked springbok on the Highveld. I wonder where he is now buried? Somewhere near the gravesite of the repoutation of that silly snake-oily pseudo sports scientist bloakes who blew mouth-corner bubbles after taking a hard tackle, probably?
13 Oct 2012, 02:08 am
cant believe all of the **** coming out of SA about NZ….jealousy never wins…what a bunch of losers, NZ will survive nicely thankyou…even when your rubbish team goes north to play in the ***** league of 6 nations….jeez you may even win a trophy…me thinks your cabinet is bare at the moment…
13 Oct 2012, 02:10 am
@out wide-526: yeeeeha I have a saffer who supports NZ, you are so right, SA rugby sold their jersey years ago….good on you mate.
13 Oct 2012, 02:41 am
This really is embarrasing for the good SA bloggers.
Bakkies, poltergeist and a few others need to sit down and stop making up stories, it like going back to primary school while the teacher is sittingdown reading abook that we all know is not real.
Bakkies, you are a lier and have been found out.
Suffer_guy yet cannot answer a simple question i asked him….again another found out.
Poltergeist, you have no clue on life so a question to you would be a waste of time.
@willievz-508:
Wille, you said this AB team was weak and will get beaten in South Africa……wrong
Now you think cos the ABs sent to SA an oldies team with a couple of new ABs in 1986 and won you guys would beat the real ABs at home…..lol
Again someone else that wont answer an easy question….Seen as you think that 1986 was the best team ever, how many international games did these guys play?
13 Oct 2012, 04:17 am
one would have to say, after the boisterous noises coming out of the republic before the 32-16 manshaming
that the Bokkes
CHOKED!
no other word for it really..
13 Oct 2012, 06:46 am
Read or McCaw for IRB player of the year, i’d go with McCaw though simply the best there has ever been. They might let him keep the trophy he’s been nominated and won it so many times.
13 Oct 2012, 07:14 am
Ab’s will also take team of the year and Hanson will get the coaching gong.
13 Oct 2012, 07:17 am
Hansen.
13 Oct 2012, 08:06 am
@NZINCHINA-540: imagine if that happened
proof positive of the conspiracy that is all geared towards the ABs and definitely persecutes the so called “tough” africans..
one only has to read this blog after they lose to realise that that is the biggest myth ever..
we are so tough, we need to make more armbands because we cant adapt to a referee, our limited thinking capacity only knows one thing, we are physically superior
deluded and dumb, it makes for a funny combination..

@poppa 523, there was a lot of discussion a couple of days ago about dog food, which started when I asked ‘sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food’ what his Nic stood for. I am still none the wiser as to which team he supports – tho it doesn’t appear to be the sharks.
Anyway, the discussion got onto what dogs everyone owns, hence dawns question to you.
13 Oct 2012, 08:35 am
@corporal punishment-544: She is a WP supporter I believe (sharks rugby pedigree), and also the Blues are a favoured team of hers.. though I think its going to be a painful year for tmy Blues next season..
OK, I dont live in a gated community so have no need for a dog as added protection…
13 Oct 2012, 08:41 am
so in the last seven matches between our two sides, South Africa have won just one of these?
yep, must be all the incredible depth
hahahahaha 1 from 7, ridiculous!
13 Oct 2012, 09:06 am
@ poppa, yes it is 6 out of 7. 8 out of 13 since the start of 2008.
13 Oct 2012, 09:50 am
@poppa 543. This year’s all black pack hasn’t been the most physical we have produced, but judging by some of the big fast brutes coming into the npc an super 15 teams like ardie savea we might fix this next couple o years.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-549:
Bakkies.
Out of all the South Africans on here you are by far the most pathetic.
You have about 5 followers….( 3 of themare alt log ins ) and the rest arejust embarrased as it makes them a look as though South Africans are cry babies.
It so far from the truth. What i have learnt on this site is that most SA bloggers are just like Kiwis, love the game and know when a team is better than their own. You on the other hand cannot accept that another team is better thanyour own so you go out and tell stories about us Kiwis.
All it is doing is making you look like a sore loser and a hopless case…..how about you fukoff and grow the fukup

its the whole superiority issue, the D.utchman realise they are losing their grip fast and cant handle it anymore..
its a beautiful thing is karma, as Skop said the other day..
I like how it continually bites SA

i have never logged on here pretending to be someone else. i have often changed my nics just for the fun of it or for a larf but have always done so with the username registered.
@Hurricane-552:
so you think i’m a cancer… big deal…
i think most of you kiwis are dooses as far as honsety in regard to your precious rugby team is concerned. patently incapable of being honest about the filth they get up to, habitually, in order to win.
did i hurt your feelings? its ok, come back, boet. dont phuckoff…. (rolling eyes smiley).
@Brads-553:
you can call me anything you like, boet. you’re team’s still as filthy as they come, and will probably remain so for a long time to come.

Your world is consumed with your lies and deceipt.
From blaming IRB, saying the AB paid of Bryce and other refs to saying Argentina were lucky to get the draw as the ref ripped you off in that game….every loss is someone else fault. Then you start calling other nations names and so on….really pathetic and childish. You need to get real with yourself, it is you who is scum, it is you that is dirty and it is you that needs to grow up little fella.
14 Oct 2012, 21:22 pm
@Hurricane-563:
glad you’re back.
i agree i shouldnt use such offensive and harsh words to describe the nz team and their style of play hurri but when most people here attempt any honest examinations with regard to the patently clear and obvious way in which they play all i get is emotional knee jerk responses.
the trth is they are a dirty team in their style of play and i know you know this as much as i do. i guess its in our nature to never easily admit our shortcoming and faults and this is probably where you guys are coming from, so basically cannot help yourselves much..?…
and i’m not trying to be a sanctimonius doos when i say this, honestly. i should know, i too was there once upon a time.
also, poppa and other kiwis who come for the goading and trolling dont help things does it.
14 Oct 2012, 21:25 pm
@Hurricane-563:
and seriously, what part of the things i harp on about are ‘lies and deceit’?
14 Oct 2012, 21:28 pm
@Hurricane-563:
and for your information, i may perhaps come across as scummy by the things i sometimes say, this is true, but i can tell you straight out that i would never cheat you or give you reason to think of me as dirty, ever.
14 Oct 2012, 21:31 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-565:
Are you serious?
You have no clue?
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-566:
Yet you find it very easy to call all kiwis cheaters and scum. What have i ever done to you except tell it how i see it….as what you claim to do?
14 Oct 2012, 21:42 pm
@Hurricane-567:
ok, i should not call you scum but you most definitely are cheats.
just because you continually do something and get away with it does not mean i should be offensive. i cannot promise you anything, but i will try.
i just wish the irb could sort cheating out of the game in an honest way by treating all teams fairly. this of course means that the ab’s would suffer in a big way and may even struggle to continue thier win ration but hey, that’s life and if they’re as good as you believe then they should be able to deal with it.
unfortunately, until that daty comes no one will ever know. which is all a pity really, as i trully believe, considering all the talent they have, they could have gone about building a worldwide legacy which rugby lovers the world over would have enjoyed, respected and admired.
for a win ration you guys have thrown that away.
14 Oct 2012, 21:43 pm
worldwide legacy = worldwide historical legacy
14 Oct 2012, 21:53 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-568:
Bakkies, you have to agree that in every game the Boks play, they also cheat etc. The game is so fast at times and with the amount of rules at ruck time it is too hard for the ref to spot everything. A call can go either way in a few circumstances.
It is hard and the refs are not coping. Rules need to be fixed and refs need to be accounted for.
14 Oct 2012, 21:59 pm
@Hurricane-570:
daylight between what the ab’s do and get away with and the rest, hurri.
daylight
also, i’d be given to thinking that at present there seems to three sets of rules for rugby. one for the ab’s, one for the rest and one for the boks.
anyway, yes… it is time the irb stamps on this behaviour in a more concerted manner. ulitmately, rugby is the loser.
14 Oct 2012, 22:11 pm
i’m out
cheers
you cheats
14 Oct 2012, 22:18 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-571:
hahaha
yeah ok then
By the way only time rugby loses out is when the Boks lose. Seems to be the case with you anyways.
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-572:
