Good beer is delicious. At present, I’m trying to figure out how to get Brewdog’s “Sink the Bismarck” and “Tactical Nuclear Penguin”, and Samuel Adams’ “Utopias”. RTDs are shite. They’re for people who drink pisswater like Corona, Tui, etc, and bloody fizzy drinks on the whole. If I want bloody spirits, it’ll be single malt.

Meads led a tour by individuals, I can appreciate why that annoys you but it was their right to go.

Would the Greens have denied NZers the chance to travel where they like?

I am also pretty sure that some of the people who led the anti tour protests in 81 have been honoured by the state as well, do you think it is right that they should have been awarded for breaking the law and endangering the lives of thousands of people?

I also find it amazing that you can be so anti apartheid (as any decent human should be) yet be so pro Maori separatism, surely you can see the hypocrisy in that?

JiveKitty, have you tried Mac’s Sassy Red? Really good beer with winter coming up, with roasts, soups etc.

Oh and D4J:

Get fucked you lunatic, when did I make any personal comment about you? I was merely commenting that McCaw is a cheat.

Have just rad the main points of Turei’s alternative “budget”, if you can call it that (more like a childish wishlist of completly uncosted handouts).

All it seems to comprise is building new state housing slums and using th state to magically strong arm power prices down. How new and eye-catching.

Clean the spittle off your screen and have a look at what I have written.

I am not, nor have I ever been, a Jafa.

I said that I support ANY team playing Canterbury, that would include England, Aussie, Wellington, Auckland….anybody.

I am also amazed at how much hatred you guys have for Auckland and its people, I often used to hear about the great Auck v Cantab rivalry, the truth is that the rivalry is only one way, the Aucks don’t rate you guys, you are insignificant, an after thought, they never give you any consideration.

The reason you lot take so much pride in your rugby (a team made up of stolen players) is because you have NOTHING else, the rest of the country does not define itself by way of rugby, we have other things in our life, we are not so sad as to make gods out of men who chase leather for a living.
If you think that is a little harsh, have a look at your current Crusaders coach, the man is a joke, he was a joke as a player and a national embarrassment as an All Black captain, yet for some unknown reason you guys treat him as if he was Meads/Jones/Nepia and Lomu rolled into one.

One day you lot might grow up, drop the inferiority complex (as valid as it is) and realise that the world does not revolve around Hagley park.

No, otherwise you get into the US-Cuba sort of shit.

But we shouldn’t honour those who gave practical support to the worst form of institutionalised racism imaginable, whatever else they may have done.

Haha. No, Guinness was not included in my list of piss water beers. Much better from the tap by my reckoning. Their special export to Belgium is excellent (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/209/10848). I recommend you try it if you haven’t and if there’s still any left.

Sassy Red is indeed a nice unassuming drop over winter. Good with hearty food. I’m also partial to their black.

As for Lomu, let’s not include him with hallowed names, eh. He was a mediocre player and not overly useful after about 1997 when the majority of top tier international teams stopped being intimidated and figured out that good tackling technique was all that was needed to take him down – excluding the South Africans who’d never been intimidated and always knew how to tackle him. He was poor tactically – often out of position, etc, was pretty abysmal defensively, and lacked skill – not a great passer, piss-poor at kicking, and so-on. He represents what is endemically wrong with the All Blacks and New Zealand rugby over the past fifteen years: the triumph of flash and glam, marketing, hype and style, over the values of skill and doing whatever is necessary to win. (Carlos is probably representative to a degree as well, but he wasn’t mentioned in line with the hallowed names of Jones, Meads and Nepia.) I don’t care if we score the most tries. I don’t care if a player’s presence causes Keith Quinn to (metaphorically of course) come in his pants or fap frantically everytime he sees them on the field. I want a team that does the fundamentals and wins. And given the apparently diminishing interest in New Zealand rugby so too do New Zealanders.

True story
I was in a pub in Chirstchurch having been introduced to some locals by a guy I know.

All pretty convivial, I happened to mention that I had lived in Auckland , well, one guy just blustered off, “The whole countries fucked, its all Auckland fault and the Maoris, Aucklands a prick of a place, absolutely fucked”

I said being a guest and not wanting to wind him up any further ” Perhaps its changed since you were last there, you might enjoy yourself now”

He said ” I’ve never fucking been there, never want to”. I slowly put my glass down and walked out of the bar.

And went looking for his donkey to shag

the time bookends of meads’ shameful behavior at a time of a real ‘test’….

..(and he really failed/’lost’ that one…with the cavaliers tour being the low point..)

..and instead of just going away and shutting up…

..he now comes out with that cliched white racist-moan…that flies in the face of all the evidence/stats…

..that ‘the government is doing to much for maari..’…

how can he be anything else than an unreconstructed/unrepentant racist..?

(..and all in his own actions..and now again…by his own words….

..that’s how we ‘know’ colin meads…)

And shame on all of them.

Mind you, the Cavaliers tour did have one upside for NZ rugby – it gave Sean Fitzpatrick and Joe Stanley – two of the greatest All Blacks – their first caps while the Cavaliers were banned.

and that was when rugby lost its’ hold on the country….

and it has never got it back…

(and the police also lost the respect of the country..)

my boy hangs with the smart kids at his school…

..and they just aren’t really into rugby..

..certainly nowhere near as much as boys his age wd have been in the past…

..and of course…another major cause of the loss of that almost religous adherence by fans..

..is that only those children who’se parents have sky….ever get to see a rugby test live…

..so..y’know…!

..it’s mainly all their own doing…

..as that ‘hold’ just continues to slip..

Toad sits there criticising Colin Meads for taking a bunch of rugby players on a racist tour to racist apartheid South Africa. Lets look at some of those racist players who toured:
Steve McDowell
Murray Mexted
Hika Reid
Wayne (Buck) Shelford
Frank Shelford
Bernie Fraser
Bill Osborne
Steve Pokere
Victor Simpson

While that is more than enough to lead the Haka, Lets not forget the team also included other prominant name such as:
Andy Dalton, Andy Haden, Jock Hobbs, The Whetton Brothers, Robbie Deans and Grant Fox.

Like or loathe the tour, the perspective of the rugby players is that a multiracial team can play well together and beat a racist one. I am sure this was a big motivation for all involved in the tour.

@dad4justice 9:22 pm

Yep, I got a few jabs from the Monadnok PR24, but far less than several others.

I decided to use my skills and became involved with organising a “direct action” unit later in the ’81 tour. Very effective protest. Shut down the television transmission to much of the country for the Second Test, blocked the Harbour Bridge for 50 minutes before the Third Test, and, um, things I probably should not say here even though I cannot be criminally charged for them 29 years on.

The best fun was being on a fizz-boat in the Bay of Islands and giving racially selected team a hard time while they attempted to have a relaxing cruise.

Oh, and in what was the THC Waitangi, when my friend Ana and I challenged two of the Springboks who were in the apartheid Police Force to a game of “Pot Black” on the pool table. They didn’t want to play that day though.

I did not know that Toad was that old Dime, normally one grows out of the socialist phase, as soon as you realise you cannot save the world and that most of the bludgers actually do NOT want to better themselves you see the error of your ways and come to the right.

Still, I have a bit of a soft spot for the old commie, anybody who likes test cricket cannot be all bad, the fact that he does not like T20 is also a point scorer as far as I am concerned.

Nickb and big Bruv, while I applaud your fanatical devotion to your cause, I think you could reserve some of you vitriol for the “hapless Hurricanes and stop carping on about the crusaders and your pathetic sermonising about their much admired success.
Yes Canterbury is very astute with the draft and Bowden has given their midfield an added dimention.
While you are ranting about imports
Micheal Patterson who has grown into his role came from Canterbury and suffered from the logjam at second row we have here in Canterbury.
Andrew Hoare, whose Loss on Saturday virtually killed off any hope in Sydney Comes From Central Otago.
Tyson Keats who has shown Fatty Weepu how to play at half back so well, surprise, surprise Just happened to come from Elesmere sub union in Canterbury where he was in competition with Ellis and FoTuaili from Tasman.
I accept it is Gut wrenching to have all the talent in FOUR 1st division teams and still struggle to deliver a team that can produce at super rugby level.
You have genuine talent at the Caketin with Hosea Gear, Conrad Smith, Cory Jane, Jeremy Thrush, Karl Lowe,Andrew Hoare and on a good day Neamiah but in Sydney On Saturday night when Tragically Hoare was invalided off the remaining players just lay down. What is it with them.
The GUY (emphasis intended) at second five will always be a net liability. Sure he can be a devastating runner and a brutal tackler (often thuggish IMHO), but how often does he turn the ball over when he goes to the line, how often does his decision making embarrass rather than enhance, the bloody Saffas just love him he is so easy to defend against and the bloody highlights in the hair, is that so a highlights package is always at hand.
Get over it your team didn’t turn up when it mattered at the end and that is not the first time. The Crusaders pissed me off with their slack game in Perth but when it really mattered they DELIVERED.
I say they can go all the way to the championship and I will be as proud as i have been on the other occasions. I well remember the first season of super, was it 10s, when they came a very bad last but the record since would have to have something above ;cheating, luck, poaching and all the other jealously inspired negativity that you both dribble on about.
Big Bruv, I respectfully ask who you would have appointed head coach instead of Hammett, if you replied last time I asked, I appologise as I missed it.
Go the Crusaders, all the way if you can.

A scathing and welcomed attack on the All Blacks by Kiwi Russell Crowe.

Just do it, or some childish shit like that, I mean who would adopt that simple shit as their motto in the sports world?

But although his simple childish idea was sound, I mean, when was the last time he read up on the Maoris and their litigation?

The Haka bro?

A mil a performance, ok bro?

From half the All Black team.

Haha, we play where?
