First time on the internet?

Ha ha.  Gold.  

Laugh out loud.

I strongly dislike Nic White as a player. I have done since many years ago when I saw him play at Eden Park and and a Blues players shoe came off a player and he threw it away, into the crowd as he retreated from the wrong side of a ruck, and  I have seen him do scummy things pretty consistently since. 

I see he has been recalled to the Wallabies, and it makes me anxious. He gets up for those matches. With our record in Wellington as it is, we need to get this done in Sydney on Saturday PM.

Ah the Walter Little toss. I always preferred the flanker bootlace maneuver but that's always been a good one.

Lol, the Walter Little one is on Youtube. The old tricks are always the best.

Another week another second half shambles. What a mess.

Lossss Pummmasss. 

That 3-point attempt was a shocker. 

That Argies game was so satisfying, but good God, the quality of the TV product is abysmal. The commentary was either borderline fellatio and didn't acknowledge the Argies until they won at all, at which point they just went totally quiet. Everything was couched in terms relative to the SA team, it was either SA attack or SA defence, never Argentina on the front foot. 

It really goes some ways to explaining the mindset of some SA fans you meet in the wild. It's up there with some of the worst F1 coverage I've seen, which was just pro-Brits all the way down. For such a good game to watch, it really was sub-par.

It's almost like you were watching the Supersport feed.

Sky isn't any better. At least the Supersport commentators actually know the high tackle laws.

I was watching whatever Sky took as a feed. It was definitely far worse than anything I've seen on Sky in the last ten years. You wouldn't have know there was another team in it until the Argentinians won it.

Funnily enough it's even objectively true that sky have been worse in the last 10 years. Grant Nisbett spent an entire game calling every black player Mapimpi a couple of years ago. I'm sure it's nothing to do with him being 74.

South Africa's lack of humility is pretty obnoxious right now. Every 5th thing that turns in my Facebook feed is the number of days they have been world champions, and any posts that aren't, are South Africans reminding everyone they are world champions or rubbishing opponents. 

As a result, nothing commentators say would surprise me. Argentina don't get much credit generally. If they could become consistent...
