    Teams like England, Ireland, Wales wearing non-traditional colours like BLACK... as their alternative strip. You're not the All Blacks ffs.

    And France as their home strip, well the deepest of navy blues anyway.

            People stroking themselves about rugby players who dont even play but are apparently going to save NZ rugby single handedly.

                  I assumed it was Fern rule of membership.

                  Also, I'm looking forward to Ngatai starring at 10 for us in Japan in 2019.

                      I know and it triggered a lot of rage in you which is very amusing especially judging by your spelling.

                          Don't be ridiculous. I know I'm no where near the ultimate fan. It's a pastime at best.

                            I hate reserves warming up behind the deadball line then celebrating their team mate's try in a massive pile-on. You're not part of the game, don't enter the field of play.

                                        The state of both Australia and South Africa given where they were in the early 00s.

                                        The celebratisation of referees. Referee microphones were great at first because you got a glimpse into the policing of the game, but now it is quite clear that referees are acting out for the benefit of the cameras. That goes from ones we might find entertaining (Owens) and those who are clear numptys (Barnes, Gardner).

                                        Walsh had a reputation for having tickets on himself, but I never felt like he orchestrated contrived captains conferences and unnecessary assistant referee meetings. Much like the "we have a deal", who talks like that if the cameras aren't that?

                                          People who manage conflict speak like that all the time. It is the best way. Gardner spoke very well to the teams. His communication was too notch.
