I am a fan of NZ rugby, Big Bruv, and my family has a considerable honourable history with it that you wouldn’t dream about.
Your insults don’t resonate with me. And neither do those of Mr Reason.big bruv
GravelroadThere is nothing honourable about NZ rugby. Neither Mr Reason, nor my good self are insulting you, we are telling the truth.
The ironic thing about your comment is that your own words confirm and demonstrate that Mr Reason is dead right.
NZ rugby = Arrogance.Morrissey
So what’s your take on that farcical 2011 RWC final?Longknives
2011 RWC final was the end of Rugby for me.The most appalling Refereeing performance in International Rugby History.
France were 20 points better than arrogant, allegedly ‘invincible’ NZ on that night but a terrified referee had a script to follow-Morrissey
“Sir” Graham Henry has been shameless ever since that farce….https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-23052013/#comment-636639
Morrissey
Gravelroad, can you tell us what was “honourable” about the All Blacks’ performance in that 2011 farce? And especially in their arrogant conduct after the game—how was that “honourable”?flipper
Fuck off shit head……ALONG WITH YOUR DISCIPLES.
You might like to try using your head … but not to kick a ball. It would be good to shove up your arse.
Shits like you discussing such matters are Kappernick clones.
Reason? His is a family problem that can be traced back to a grubby old school tie attitude.big bruv
FlipperWhy do you have such an issue with the truth?

You mean when Aurelian Rougerie eye gouged Richie McCaw and escapes any punishment during or after? How were the All Blacks “arrogant” after that game?I’ve heard firsthand some of the shit the French pulled in that game. But then to you and the other whiners above it’s ok when foul play is committed by other teams.http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/6089812/Richie-McCaw-breaks-silence-on-eye-gougeLongknives
Strangely no mention of McCaw ‘accidentally’ smashing the French First Five’s face to bits Salacious Crumb? (incidentally their crack Drop Goal specialist)
If that had been a nasty Frenchman you would have been shrieking for a Red Card and a life ban!
You All Blacks fans are honestly the most biased, one eyed morons on the planet…Salacious Crumb
@Longknives – actually I am a rugby fan with strong connections to the game at a number of levels but thanks for the insult. I am all for players being held accountable for genuine foul play – do you only when a perpetrator wears a black jersey?Longknives
Salacious Crumb- I am a Rugby Fan as well.Difference between you and me is I watch a game of Rugby with both eyes open.
I also have strong family connections to the game.
(I also played the game for 20 odd years.)
And we know the French are thugs (they always have been) but mate the All Blacks (these days) get away with Blue freaking Murder…

Morrissey read my post again.
What I said was that “my family has a considerable honourable history with it” (rugby). This is a personal reflection based on my experience of rugby teams and players over a lot of years.
Big Bruv asserted that “there is nothing more arrogant than the NZ rugby team and it’s fans.”
As a fan, I take exception to that blanket generalisation.big bruv
Gravelroad
“This is a personal reflection based on my experience of rugby teams and players over a lot of years.”
You’ve experienced a truck load of bashings and sexual assaults then I guess.
Longknives
So Gravelroad reckons because he has family history in the game he has the final word? And we aren’t allowed to DARE say anything nasty about NZ Rugby??
Honestly mate- Have a listen to yourself…
It’s not Sacred- It’s a bloody sports team!Gravelroad
Ok Longknives, I give up.
Don’t base your comment on what I actually said.
Just make up a reply which fits in with your own agenda.
dime
I skimmed it. My favourite bit was when he had a crack at Adidas for being nazis and using slave labour and aig causing the 2008 meltdown. That’s clearly all on the all blacks.I shouldn’t give the loser clicks.Morrissey
Quite right, dime—Mark Reason’s way out of line with those bizarre connections. However, he gets the following exactly right:…They routinely stand offside or kill the ball when threatened 10 metres from the line. That is cheating. They were previously coached to stand blockers in offside positions and hold people of the ball. That is cheating. After they were beaten by Ireland in 2016, the All Blacks responded with a display of sickening violence in Dublin. There were further incidents of illegal violence in the series against the Lions, one of which resulted in a sending-off. The drawn Lions series has been followed by a constant verbal assault by coach, players and media on a French referee who made far, far fewer mistakes than the referee who presided over the All Blacks victory in the first game of the series. New Zealand rugby cheats on the field every bit as much as Australian cricket. “The ends justify the means”. There is little integrity left in a pursuit of victory that has almost become a commercial imperative.For all his criticism, however, I note he is still too afraid to even mention the real Banquo’s ghost in this farce….https://morrisseybreen.blogspot.com/2018/02/ignoring-elephant-in-room-jul-28-2013.htmlSalacious Crumb
That is a joke. Does Reason not watch for the infringing by every top level team? And has Reason seen the shit that was leveled at Poite by the British fans after that farcical 3rd test decision last year? Poite is a top test referee and was furious with his own performance in that test.sooty
