It looks that way to me too. There does seem to be a bit of a consensus from the non-Aucklanders here. Namely, what wrong with you?
We're not all against it, and I'm pleased at the move to secure Queens Wharf. But given that we'll be stuck with the thing well past the RWC, it is reasonable to have a robust debate about what to do with the space.
And it's reasonable to ask how much in total it will cost and who exactly is paying.

Everywhere in the world rugby is on a roll. Everywhere except here. Rugby in New Zealand is in crisis.
Tom, let's not forget it was one bad game. That's not to say all is rosy. But (except for World Cups) the ABs have been the team to beat for the last several years.
Now if we fail miserably next week I'll agree there's a problem . But we've seen this before. Much wailing and teeth-gnashing, followed by a smashing of the opposition the following week.
Give it a week. Then, if there's no improvement, we march on NZRU heradquarters and demand Henry's head on a pike.

We, as a country, really need to learn how to suck it up and take a loss.
Agreed. Rattue's fatwahs against Graeme Henry every time we lose a game are tiresome.
Thankfully the comments on PAS are relatively restrained. I was disappointed with the poor effort, but having more important things to worry about (like family) means the loss was soon put to the back of the mind on Sunday.
That said, the French were also without some top players, so the excuses being offered sound a bit hollow.

I just wish the All Blacks had shown a discernable game plan. The kicking was poor (Stephen Donald, if you do one more of those stupid "clever" kicks I'll fly down to Wellington this week and throttle you. No more!) and combinations were non-existent.
I was surprised how weak our scrum looked. And let's not even start with the tackling.
The ref wasn't great, but wasn't a major factor in the result. The French deserved to win.
On the positive side, the lineouts were okay. For once.
Every season the ABs seem to throw in one utterly inept performance. Last year it was in Australia. The year before that the World Cup quarterfinal. Let's hope Satuday was this season's.

Thank you Gio. I've said previously I don't normally do sarcasm on the Lord's Day, but Kerre's artlcle was quite a special event.
Still, who knows? Talentless people get lucky sometimes..

The H1N1 is closing in.
Bollocks. Kerre says it's hogwash. Don't go listening to those so-called experts.

Soo, anyone see watch Campbell Live tonight? That Gordan Ramsey eh... What a prat.
I'll say. Never would have picked it.

Look who's back.

Can I utter the words "terrorists win" without starting the whole spiral all over again?
And does anyone have a copy of the Dom Post I can borrow ("bottow?" Sorry Rich) containing Karl du Fresne's rant on the topic? I would like to vomit all over it.

Copyright threads are like Robbie William albums - should be banned because the last one was so goddamned awful.
Just my opinion.
