The Silver Fern

@SouthernMann said in All Blacks 2026:

Basically, well enough connected, very vocal, sometimes right, sometimes wrong.

Fern checklist!

Connected - some posters

Sometimes right - rare posters

Sometimes wrong - all posters but me

Mike Tomlin has stepped down as Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, ending a 19-year run during which he never had a losing season.

The Steelers announced Tomlin's decision Tuesday afternoon, saying his track record "will likely never be duplicated."

what a season! Wow, Harbaugh and Tomlin both out within a week of each other.

These playoffs are amazing. What a product. Loving it.

Unless you are BB or Christie.

Beaudy came as a senior AB

Christie is the exception - but that's hardly a ringing endorsement

And plays for Ta$man

I wondered about saying that - but you're right

Herbert got hammered tonight.

Tough game. Maye came up clutch when it mattered - and got lucky with fumble recoveries.

Roll on Divisional weekend!

Hopefully Patriots/Chargers game goes down to the wire.

I reckon the Pats smoke them. But then, what the hell do I know about NFL any more!

Jesus!

4 great games in a row. How good

... and now the Eagles 49ers going to the wire.

What. A. Comp.

There's a few firings. Is it a quarter of the league now?

Bears fans will be ecstatic to send the cheeseheads packing.

boom tish.

You should not lose 18 points up. Pack blew that one big time.

Panthers were amazing! For a rubbish defence they stepped up. Playoffs baby, it's incredible viewing

Two cracking games today. NFL had been amazing entertainment all season

Razor rang rings around them for years in super rugby

Hansen runs rings around them ....

@mohikamo I think divisions play whole other divisions. So if you come up against a strong division, everyone has a lower w/l. A weak division and everyone stuffs their stats.

So I think I'm OK with winning divisions and hosting. So be it - just win!

Steelers Ravens was insanity.

Two missed kicks at the end! Crazy - cost the Ravens their season. That and the lack of a pass rush. Jesus what a loss. Jackson's penultimate play throw was as good as you'll see to Likely. Wonderful play - huge pass.

Henry is crazy - another 100 yard game, but he's going home.

These playoffs will be epic

@mohikamo said in NFL 2025:

Jeez
Carolina make the play-offs with a losing record, and get a home game!
They gotta change that.

I used to think so, but now I think division winning is fine. It's swings and roundabouts - but the divisional games are absolute gold. Love them.

I've got no doubt he experienced prejudice growing up but there is a time and place for gripes and I don't think this is it.

100%

If you're out because of back spasms didn't be surprised if people look at your preparation. That's not racism. Racism will be through his career, but not convinced this is the place.

How good is the season. Good luck picking a winner...I have a sense it'll be a 1 seed with the rest, but who knows this year. Going to be amazing playoffs

@Tim said in Rugby World Cup general discussion:

Guess NZ is not going to host again, unless it's a joint bid with Australia?

We can't afford what world rugby want these days. It's very expensive.

@Donsteppa said in Ashes 2025/6:

Surely Brook and Root can manage this one.

Kane and Ross did when it mattered
