Don't be a dick. I had nothing else to say until people started replying and tagging me and having a dig. 

As I said, if the shoe was on the other foot.

Look I don't want to be that guy but as a toddler parent I feel I should point out that this references something that happens after Elsa's coronation earlier that day and technically at this point, she was Queen Elsa.

You make your bed. You need to lie in it. 

Feel free to pull up any post of mine where I have whined about reffing causing the Chiefs, or All Blacks to lose.

It seems it's you who needs to Elsa it fella. 

I had my say, you are the one who can't let it go.

This is quite incredible. What a legend.

Crazy aye, it's not even some backwater pro league. Imagine being so good that Toulon think you are worth it at 42.

He's a beast of a human being. I watched a game with him 2 years ago or so, and he was still running over people, and around people. He wasn't quite as everywhere as he used to be, but he still made dominant tackles. 

Nonu's gameplay style changed when he arrived in Auckland, the crash-through only really got bought out when he was in the AB's jersey and he went back to being a far more passive midfielder, I wonder if that reset has meant his career has been able to be extended more than some others.

Pretty much he saved his best for the Black Jersey no matter where he played after his Hurricanes career ended. Pretty sure the Highlanders fans were upset that his stint with them wasn't great either.

Off for some overseas experience potentially with the long term view of wanting to get a shot at the head coach of the ABs in the future.

Congrats to the Blues. There was some really strange play in the first 60 minutes, but to win after a red card, shows a strong finish. 

Canes really let that get away.

I have never really thought as highly of Jamie Joseph as some do, but I will give credit where credit is due, and I am enjoying the grit he is bringing back to the Highlanders, and the honesty under which he assesses their performances. 

I think he has a bit of a knack of getting his players to enjoy playing under his stewardship. 

From a NZ Herald Paywalled Article.

The Highlanders are at the top end of the table, but a coach as clear-headed as Jamie Joseph won’t be luxuriating in what’s been a very good start to the season. His reaction after the win at Albany was a perfect example of his straight-shooting.

“We were fortunate,” he said. “We got ahead with some relatively soft tries and we managed to hang on.”

It was a short turnaround for the Highlanders after upsetting the Blues in Dunedin a week ago. A bye next weekend shapes up as a perfect time for the Landers to recover and reset.

The Blues look pretty shaky as defending champions in the early part of the season. There needs to be some hard conversations and decisions made around how they handle pressure moments. 

I've never rated Christie as a halfback and nothing I saw last night changed my mind. Crappy Pass to PT (which he should have still caught given he was obviously the target) when they are in the red zone, a charged kick (third I think this season), and a great break followed by poor decision making on when to pass (or not).

Reiko got his first try for the Blues in nearly two years. It was a gift, but I am sure he will take it. He played some nice support plays and made some decent decisions. Probably one of his better games in any jersey for a while IMO. 

They really shouldn't have lost last night. They lost off the back of the things they had control of. 

Wow, that was something to watch. Moana Pacifisika showing the razzle dazzle. 

Chiefs beaten by the Drua at home in water polo! Their try by the 11 was quite something.  Drua are pretty hard to beat at home. 7 wins from 9 in Fiji is a pretty good record.
