Kiwis crown McCaw
14 Dec 2012
All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has been named New Zealand’s Player of the Year after being beaten to the IRB gong by Dan Carter.
On Friday, McCaw was awarded the Kelvin Tremain Memorial award for the fourth time following his wins in 2003, 2006 and 2009.
McCaw was also nominated for the IRB Player of the Year award, but lost out to Carter. Incidentally, Carter was not nominated for New Zealand’s top prize, and McCaw was favoured ahead of Kieran Read and Conrad Smith for his contributions in 2012.
The All Blacks won 12 of their 14 Tests this season, with a draw against Australia and a loss to England the only blemishes on that record. Predictably, they walked away with New Zealand’s Team of the Year prize, and coach Steve Hansen was named Coach of the Year.
The IRB also recognised these achievements recently, with the All Blacks and Hansen acknowledged as the best in the world.
Other awards of note went to Liam Messam (Maori Player of the Year), Conrad Smith (Super Rugby Player of the Year), Robbie Fruean (domestic player of the year), and Tomasi Cama (Sevens Player of the Year).

@Hurricane-100:
Like I said on the other thread Hurricane – I can only take you to the river of redemption. It’s up to you whether or not you bathe in it.
Redemption in the abnove analogy is eseentially disassociating with Poppa. You have chosen not to do that and for that reason your reputation remains in tatters.
Beyond that we have nothing to talk about.
You don’t like me because I represent the truth.
I don’t like you because you represent cowardice.
Heavens game represents nothing.
I am The Authority.

@the authority-92:
” I read one poster say he was going to piss in your mouth”
I cannot remember that but it seems you can…… i seem to think you are using more than one nic in here…..found out again, oh boy this is getting embarrasing.
Who well you log onto next to try and teach me a lesson….Damienm maybe?
16 Dec 2012, 23:33 pm
@Heavens Game-101: So I’m multiple posters now apparently…. Interesting tac.
But you’re still dismissed.
16 Dec 2012, 23:34 pm
@Hurricane-103: Haha I am The Authority – one poster, but if it makes you feel better to think I am multiple posters, then feel free to think that.
16 Dec 2012, 23:36 pm
@the authority-102: You represent the “truth”? What truth…?
The goddamn truth about absolutely farkall at all… certainly not about rugga because it is plain to see you know absolutely farkall about that…
Probably got idea what the difference between a tighthead and loosehead is… fark from the looks of things you probably reckon one is a nut and the other a bolt…
Blind Dumbfuck extraordinaire…
16 Dec 2012, 23:37 pm
@Heavens Game-106: Still dismissed I’m afraid.
16 Dec 2012, 23:38 pm
@the authority-105: Yes damienm… I am enjoying showing up your “authority” for what it is… A wet wet dream… A teenager’s fantasy… A pimple ridden adolescent flop…
16 Dec 2012, 23:39 pm
@the authority-107: Still here… so much for your “authority”… “I’m afraid”
16 Dec 2012, 23:43 pm
@Heavens Game-109: That’s ok, you are free to be here as long as you want.
I am The Authority.
16 Dec 2012, 23:46 pm
@the authority-110: Changed your mind now? Looks like your “authority” has weakened from zero to farkall in barely 5 posts… Oh dear damienm… what you going to do – run and squeal on yours truly too like you did to pooper69?
Go… farken run like the wind…
16 Dec 2012, 23:50 pm
@the authority-105:
We know it.
Multiple nic is signs of a coward or a lonely person…. this is you.
You seem to throw around the racist and coward call so easily as well
Are you actually speaking about yourself here?
There is help you do know that.
I give you authority to leave this blog and find help…..dismissed.
16 Dec 2012, 23:51 pm
@Heavens Game-111:
lol
16 Dec 2012, 23:52 pm
@Heavens Game-111:
Sometimes you have to repeat things for the slower kids, hence the following copy and paste:
…
You’ve been dismissed. That means you’re free to go. If you prefer to say however, by all means finish this conversation by yourself.
…
Read the above statement as many times as takes to sink in….
Please feel free to stay. I just won’t be invested to heavily in entertaining a serious discussion with you…. Nothing personal, you’re just not terribly important to me.
16 Dec 2012, 23:52 pm
@Hurricane-112: And thats that it looks like… Outtahere… Spewed enough bulldust for the day… back tomorrow, on leave so got plenty time for fireworks on Keo…
Big torment tomorrow…
16 Dec 2012, 23:55 pm
@Hurricane-112:
> “Multiple nic is signs of a coward or a lonely person…. this is you.”
I have only one nic… Interesting tactic from heavens game to accuse me of having multiple nics without any reason or evidence.
> “You seem to throw around the racist and coward call so easily as well
Are you actually speaking about yourself here?”
No, I’m speaking about you.
> “I give you authority to leave this blog and find help…..dismissed.”
Copy cat.

16 Dec 2012, 23:56 pm
@the authority-114: Yes you are right… It is clear slower kids need a repeat…
And I repeat, your “authority” is kaput… Farked… a fantasy… an inane idiot persona that manifests in stupidity beyond the farken norm for anyone other than a savant… An idiot savant that – no special gifting at all, other than masochism of the highest order…
A submissive clearly… Now take your dummy out and go change that soiled nappy…
16 Dec 2012, 23:57 pm
@Heavens Game-117: Dismissed.
16 Dec 2012, 23:59 pm
AUS! And only I say when it is time…
Farken authority, I have it… Thats for damnsure…
All yours Hurri… Shag it like a bleating merino
17 Dec 2012, 00:00 am
@Heavens Game-119: Dismissed.
17 Dec 2012, 00:09 am
I’m back……………..banned for first time in about 10 years…………not too bad I guess
17 Dec 2012, 00:10 am
@Heavens Game-119:
Go see a shrink……..you have issues……….
17 Dec 2012, 00:11 am
@the authority-116:
Nope you have more than 1 nic.
Carry on if it makes you feel better but professional help is the best for someone like you that is screaming out for attention.
17 Dec 2012, 00:13 am
@Heavens Game-119:
NO Merino talks back like this one.
If they do they get slaughtered….. sorry Skop.
17 Dec 2012, 00:13 am
@Hurricane-123: Like I said, you are free to believe that if it makes you feel better about being schooled.
17 Dec 2012, 00:13 am
Got to laugh at some of the holier than thou brigade sniverling cause Poppadoos was banned, talking about how two faced Keo was for not banning a saffa………..well cry me a river please
17 Dec 2012, 00:14 am
@whatthe-122: Agreed
17 Dec 2012, 00:14 am
@whatthe-126:
hahaha
Whatever.
17 Dec 2012, 00:15 am
@Hurricane-123:
Up your game…………..you come across as a bit thick!
17 Dec 2012, 00:15 am
@Hurricane-128:
17 Dec 2012, 00:15 am
@whatthe-126: Agreed, again. Well said.
17 Dec 2012, 00:16 am
Whatthe,
I have a simple question for you…
Do you think Hurricane should disassociate from Poppa?
I have advised him he should but he keeps throwing his toys out his pram and goes on the defensive.
Please talk some sense into him.
17 Dec 2012, 00:18 am
@the authority-131:
Yeah, I popped on over the weekend and saw UFO and Dawn having a little girly meltdown………gotta laugh I guess
17 Dec 2012, 00:19 am
@the authority-132:
I have also suggested this to him, but he gets caught up in the us v them syndrome………..
17 Dec 2012, 00:21 am
@whatthe-134: it’s a pity because hurricane seems like a reasonable bloke ( a bit on the slow side, but not a bad chap)… he’s just not doing his reputation any favours hanging around poppa every day.
17 Dec 2012, 00:22 am
@whatthe-129:
Me thick?
I was not banned.
17 Dec 2012, 00:23 am
Anyway, I’m out.
Hurricane you have some food for thought here boet. I suggest you do some pondering tonight. Priorities need to be re-assessed.
17 Dec 2012, 00:24 am
Be careful, Hurricane will accuse you of being me in a second.
That seems to be the new thing on here. Accusing posters of having multiple nics.
17 Dec 2012, 00:25 am
@Hurricane-136:
yeah, about two barn doors worth……..
17 Dec 2012, 00:27 am
@the authority-138:
It would be interesting to know if someone did report poppadoos and myself or if Keo took some action on his own? Will probably never know
anyhooo, I would have though there would be a warning first, like a yellow card, not straight to red??
17 Dec 2012, 00:33 am
@whatthe-134:
Did you watch the Sky thing on last night called The weight of a nation?
About the RWC 2011. It was really good. Some insight into the coaches and players
17 Dec 2012, 00:34 am
@the authority-138:
Better being accused of multi nics than being called a racist with no proof at all.
17 Dec 2012, 00:35 am
@Hurricane-141:
Yeah, I caught bits of it inbetween BBQ’ing………..looked quite intense!
17 Dec 2012, 00:38 am
@Hurricane-142:
I think he was talking about “by association”, cause poppadoos has said some genuine racist comments on this blog a year or so back to go along with his recent bigotted comments
17 Dec 2012, 00:39 am
@Heavens Game-117:
Dude, seriously you are an idiot……….a big headed one at that………if any saffa needs a poesklap it’s you, a lekker warm one!!
17 Dec 2012, 00:58 am
@whatthe-143:
Yeah it was.
So much pressure on them.
17 Dec 2012, 01:37 am
@whatthe-144:
Yet when i confronted him about his comments about all kiwi have incest relationships and are all wife bashers……he told me it is true, it is in our culture to do this.
So beware, this guys is an idiot. Has problems with Poppa and hates anyone even agreeing with Poppa yet says the above.
17 Dec 2012, 03:54 am
@Hurricane-147:
All generalisation are pathetic no matter where they come from……….HG does the same thing by labeling all Capetonians racist and ****. It just shows the small mindedness of the person spewing the hatred!
17 Dec 2012, 03:56 am
Have I just generalised by saying “all generalisations” ?
17 Dec 2012, 04:45 am
@whatthe-149:
Welcome back, who else did you find in the naughty corner?
About HG and the Capetonians…so it is not true?!
