Shayne Philpott

Sad news to see Shayne is gone. 58 is much too young.
As far as I know (or at least can recall), he's the only All Black who has turned up on The Fern to post - or at least an AB who identified himself.
Worth remembering - as sundry players and coaches get slagged for their perceived shortcomings - that this wasn't because he thought we were a great bunch of guys to talk rugby with. He didn't have kind words to say about us.
R.I.P Shayne.

RIP Shayne Philpott, way too young. From memory he was briefly a TSF poster.

Sad news. Rest In Peace, the Silver Fern's only All Black (to my knowledge).

No worries.. just getting it all in one place
There’s been all sorts of people posting here over the years - players, coaches, family members and of course media. I only know from word of mouth. Don’t want to have a speculation thread about that because obviously they wanted to remain anonymous

So like most of the posters here then!
And an All Black. And a pretty tough one given his injuries. -

Think it was around 2012? So no posts will exist
That means all the "Day in the Life" post are gone...? Bugger.

Maybe wrong or on another site, but I recall an international rugby referee posting here giving an analysis of the reffing in games.

Rip ,
On the subject of ex players family members etc ,
It can get messy, I hang out sometimes on my afl club Richmond forum ,
And there used to be a dad of a player who used to get on there pissed almost every night , abusing anyone that was critical of his son, but the worst, critical of other players etc.
A dad of an ex storm player now at the roosters was very similar on social media
I think family members are best advised to stay clear of the internet if they are a bit sensitive to criticism , it can get brutal

Yeah he was a good sport in the end. Signed up to have a crack at a couple of posters then relaxed

I couldn't spot his log-in anymore either (if I recalled it correctly).

Certainly liven things up. A little more work for the mods.

Some idiot reckons he saw me playing golf in an All Blacks tracksuit.
I think this was his biggest issue here,
though there were doubtless some other negative posts in the conversation.As Duluth says, once he had his initial crack he stayed around for a little while and shared a few things.
