@Hurricane-29:
why are you being so defensive/argumentative about this?

the blogger garth states: “and were apparently chowed by the Maori. The cannibalism opinion has never been proven, but they were definitely all wiped out by the Maori.”

i merely weighed in with my own bit of information to clear this up. he claims some of the Moriori were ‘apparently’ eaten by the Maoris and i said yes they indeed were, going by many accounts of these events.

as well canabilism by Maori tribes has been proven and well documented.

are you saying on TR is allowed to weigh in with opinions?

by the other stuff i meant that the purpose of the Maoris attacking other peoples was not exclusively motivated by cannabilism. they would have conquered the Moriori as much for wanting to take slaves, land, food, goods and wealth from them as they may have wanted to eat some of them.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-28: It was already answered by Te Rangi..... and then pointing someone to wiki is another joke. Post #25 was enough...what was the other stuff you mentioned?

@Te Rangatira-22: Basically there are no Moriori left, like other tribes they do not exist to this day.

@Transformation-20: The Moriori are said to be the first human inhabitants of Aotearoa, they were there before the Migration and were either overpowered by Maori or absorbed into the iwi. The Moriori were in fact Maori who were the earliest tribes to settle Nz with their last stronghold in the Chathams.

@Transformation-20: They were the original inhabitants of New Zealand and were apparently chowed by the Maori. The cannibalism opinion has never been proven, but they were definitely all wiped out by the Maori.

@whatthe-15:
It seem you are still a name calling immature little person.
So lets get this right here, Horings allowed to have an opinion but i cant?
My opinion was stop complaining about playing teams at the wrong time….. you have to play them just get on with it.
And you can just go back to your little hole in Auckland……..wannabe Kiwi

Very unfair to the Argies that they have to start their RC campaign away from home again.

Very unfair to the Boks that they have to play the AB and Aus away from home first. They did it last year as well. I thought they would reverse the schedule this year.

This is the easiest schedule we could hope for, even too easy. WTF is the point of the quadrangular series against 3rd rate teams? What a waste! Anything to get HM’s win ratio up. This means that we should walk the first series. We’ll stuff up the RC, but by then it’s too late to get rid of HM with only the EOYT left. Players being overly tired will be blamed for losing against France or Wales or both. HM will make it to the end of the year based on on beating Italy, Samoa and Scotland. Once he has got that far it will be said it’s too late before the WC to change the coach. The guy has been given a year to make progress and has failed dismally. Time to get a decent coach.

@Horings-5: Surely that has to be a record for earliest excuse on Keo....8 months before the game is going to take some beating. If i were you i would just concentrate on your own team. You dont hear us kiwis complaining about where we play or when we play our games.

@Horings-5: LOL, you'd find something to complain about no matter what the draw. Would you prefer flying to NZ first, then Argentina, then back to Australia?

@NZINCHINA-8: And got a draw against the #2 side, a game they shouldve won. I agree the Argies played well and will be even better this year. They will learn more and "fade" less. Hope the Boks can fix their "fading" problem in 2nd half too
