@DaGrubster can be a simple game....

He better have dollars for donuts! (Never understood that termâŠ)

dollars for donuts
Betting dollars to donuts i.e. you are so confident you are right that you bet real money versus (worth less) donuts

Hansen is a dead cert genius, I never would've even considered these gems...
Hansen also looked at the technical side of the match and revealed what his plan would be for overcoming the Irishmen.
âIf we want to beat Ireland, weâve got to be able to take them on up front, contest at lineout time, make our scrum really potent and challenge them there,â he said.
âWe need to go through the breakdown as theyâre not putting anybody in the breakdown themselves, so go through it rather than go wide.
âOnce we go through it and start narrowing them up a bit, we can go wide.â
Earn the right to go wide

In other words, play like we did against Sth Africa in July.

Our best performance of the year was when Foster took a holiday and Schmidt or the players ran things. Ironically, saving his job.

Thought that was Ireland 1.
Mind you, I've drunk so much in the last 2-3 years to forget the losses I'm probably getting thngs mixed up.

More likely that I've misremembered it.

Pity we can't simply forget....

@Machpants Hurricane Whitelock and Hurricane Smith, unsure who the other 2 are.

Was joking about the name of the boy band, as it looks like a moody album cover

A bigger version of the picture with a couple more faces. Kurt Baker and maybe Andre Taylor?

An indictment of the shitness of the Canes is that only Taylor actually played for them.
Weird seeing Whitelock not look like he's 40, he must have aged like crazy between that pic being taken and first class rugby.

Yes. Kade Poki is second from the left IIRC.

@Nepia you're wrong, Crosswell played for the Canes aswell.

So the guy who hadn't been identified at the time I posted also played for the Canes. Sweet.

@Chris said in All Blacks 2023:
The last 4 years under Foster would have massively aged everyone.
He looked 40 when he first started playing for Canterbury, same with his brothers.
You Cantabs will blame anything on Fozzie. I'm surprised he hasn't been retrospectively blamed for the earthquake.

@Bovidae pretty sure that isn't Kade Poki. Looks more like Nigel Hunt, but not sure it's even him either.

I think that photo includes players from the Manawatū area schools. Poki went to Hato Paora College, near Feilding.
