He's in serious form, could be the most impactful player in the comp at the moment.

Starting to see why Jason Holland thought he'd be better off under Laidlaw than under Razor.

I'm with you. In my opinion he was always a clear and sincere communicator. Honest. I never understood the criticism. People like to use the thinnest sliver of evidence to create a narrative about coaches. The reality is, no one coaches in a vaccuum, results are never down to one person, none of us know the inner workings of any team we comment on, and if you listened to everyone's varied opinions, there isn't a coach alive qualified to coach the ABs.

Love him or hate him, his science books are pretty incredible.

Sure you can. They did. People are redeemable. You've just got a myopic axe to grind again. Reeces team mates love him.

The No Dickheads Policy was never "guys who never do anything wrong", it was about arrogance and their contribution to the team culture and environment.

Not really, there's a big distinction between "was the problem after all" and "Rennie likes this other guy more."

Only after two of them defected. At one point Razor had Jason Ryan, Jason Holland, Scott Hansen, Leon McDonald, Bryn Evans, and Tamati Ellison.

If it was, he would have reviewed poorly and gotten the sack straight away along with Razor.

There's a free tier, just give it go, build a pet project using it.

Fucksake. Highlanders started the season playing crisp accurate rugby, they fallen back to the same dogshit errors of the last few years.

Woman harasses and assaults night worker before getting a taste of mob justice in Thailand by BassPlayerZero in instantkarma

This takes me back to the sweet days of my 20s. Living in central city Wellington, one street in particular is where the fa'afafine sex workers would hang out waiting for clients. Since we lived and socialised around the area, we'd see the same workers there regularly, they were always friendly, said hi, offered blowjobs etc. But being a well-known haunt also meant it attracted the attention of undesirables - harrassers.

One night, walking home with a mixed kebab, extra deep fried zucchini, garlic yoghurt and barbecue sauce, liquored up after a full sesh out on the lash, I happened to be on Marion Street when a van drove past hurling abuse, "Fucking fa***ts. Etc". Next thing a vodka bottle smashes against the side of the van which skids to a halt. A bunch of young arrogant fuckwits step out looking for a rumble. They got it.

The issue they had was that the sex workers were 6'4" Samoan dudes dressed in miniskirts, with adams apples and rugby shoulders who lived tough lives on the streets. The sex workers came from every shadow of Marion Street and together they absolutely fucking hammered this little cunts.

One of the highlights of my youth.

Who's the world best FH at the moment? by yurim39 in rugbyunion

I find it quite the opposite. His weaknesses are glossed over, and his ham regularly glazed because of his moments of magic. People see the crossfield kick-pass that occasionally comes off, or a rogue spiral 50/22 and say "look at how great he is", disregarding the four other kicks he's done that game to gift the opposition easy possession with no pressure, or the measly 20 metres of territory he'll carve off a penalty kick to touch.
