The rugby's been awesome, no doubt about that. I thought we'd get completely through the comp before the Covid came back, but we missed out by a week. Despite what they've been saying about turning up to play, i don't think some of those old veteran Crusaders will be too disappointed about missing that game up at Eden Park this coming weekend.

I've told my wife the goat has to leave our bedroom.

And this is the key fact. New Zealand has a population of 5 million, so, following the Swedish model, we can assume Covid-19 would have killed 3000 in NZ. With the media reporting on each death in minute detail what political party in NZ was going to say "That's Ok, we can wear that for the sake of the economy." The answer is none. National, NZ First and The Greens all agreed to Lockdown the country in late March..
What you are saying rdytdy is that the "over 80's are "expendable". You need to be honest and come right out and say that.

More conspiracy bullshit clogging up the thread and distracting from sensible debate.

Uh oh! Crusher's telling lies and then, when called out on it, states, "It was a joke."  That sounds just like another leader I know well.

I agree with Idolmite. Sleepy Joe has worked out he doesn't need to do much of anything. Right now he's sleep walking to victory in November.

Those National MP's have got a lot of mental health issues, don't they! 🤪

Great to see this old tradition revived. However the notion that the Barrett brothers, all born raised and schooled in the Naki, could play for anyone other than "The North" threatens the games credibility.The same with Southland boy, Damien McKenzie, if he doesn't line up for the South.

rdytdy, "Media Manager for the National Party" has weathered his parties recent implosion and is now back to provide us with a constant diet of his biased, subjective, right-wing views.
Your guru Mike Hosking is back on Monday rdytdy. I'm sure you'll copy and paste his first rant about the Labour party. 😂

I just feel sorry for Americans. Their 2016 choices were appalling. It can't be said 2020 options are any better. 
America needs help, for the sake of not just Americans but the world. 
Biden's left is not the answer, but then nor is the bumbling incompetent science-disbelieving Trump. 
100 1; you'll just go on and copy and paste more and more alt-right shit from the dirty extremities of the Internet. Some of the issues you raise are real, but Trump is more evidently not the answer with each and every passing day. He looks like he could have a heart attack before November 2020. America, and the world, deserves either far better candidates put up for Office by the two existing main parties, or if that's the best they've got, a new party should be born out of this shamozzle to give somebody decent to vote for. The opportunity must be there right now, moreso than ever before, if Biden and Trump are the best the left and right currently has to offer. 
Covid-19 shows America currently just can't work together, for the good of the country, even in a crisis that is killing tens of thousands. Everything is politicised. EVERY American should be embarrassed they've let it get to this.

A buffoon, a bigot, a blowhard, a braggart..........you could go on and on about how President Trump is seen outside of the USA. And don't get me started about how President Putin of Russia views Trump. I'm sure he can't believe his luck, having this man as leader of the country he most detests. 
The rest of the world see a King with no clothes, whereas so many Americans continue to be deluded, despite the mounting evidence. It's not only Trump being laid bare, it's the whole country. We're seeing Americans for what they really are.Those "yanks are a different race" alright.....they're naive bumpkins. They are unbelievable.

There's something you don't read often. Your name and intelligence in the same sentence. Mind you, you write it. And it's said self praise is no praise at all. That's the problem with your "research". One dodgy trial, without peer review, and you and your crew think the cure is there. And when, exactly, is "soon". You've been spouting things are gonna happen "soon" for years. It's funny how for such a self-professed "thinker" you rely on other people as the source of ALL of you thoughts....

Welllll, you can be sure there'll be a community case in NZ sometime soon. No matter how good or bad the boarder controls, it has to happen. When it does Old Todd will throw a huge celebration party; Michael Woodhouse will lie about how it occurred and  Mike Hosking will have two weeks of material for his Radio Redneck show

Oh no! Gruff has caught the "Conspiracy virus". Quick; put him in isolation, with a hanky on his head and two pencils up his nose for 14 days.

Yep for certain - it's novel, it's new, it's the likes of which we've never seen before. The world is scrambling. Cases appear on the rise again in countries that appeared to have it contained a month ago. Which country is doing Ok right now?........why that would be New Zealand wouldn't it? Someone's done something right in good old Aotearoa, that's for sure.

Yeah right from the start Mike Hosking has not been happy with the Ashley Bloomfield approach to dealing with the Cornavirus.
"Australia are doing it better", "Why are we still in Lockdown?" "Why haven't we moved to Level One yet?"..........and on and on he's droned.
When the opportunity came for Mike to cut down a tall poppy, he didn't miss. And New Zealand cheered, cause we love cutting down those tall poppy's.

YOU are watching the video postings of a sadly deluded man and is equally deluded "Web mates" from around the world.
"Clouded water" is a very good analogy for describing all 100 1's postings.
You should not encourage him.

Love my race book and will miss them. 

So what you had was "the liberal know it alls" jousting against a right wing know it all.

So what you had was "the liberal know it alls" jousting against a right wing know it all.

So now you far-right internutters cant even make up your mind whether George Floyd is dead or alive, whether the cops were actually cops or stand-in actors, and whether the whole thing was real or staged; the spread of misinformation is rampant, and vile. You can't have it both ways. Unbelievable.
The problem with relying on right-wing American conspiracy-theory bullshit is that it's written by extremely egotistical and unstable people, who are feeling hard done by, who also think that there is no life or existence outside of America. They write like this virus was unleashed on them without realising its hit another 180+ counties as well. They're so self-centred and self-indulgent that they think they're the only people and only country on earth. And you get sucked into the bullshit. Unbelievable. 
I'm not saying the left is any better. America is just fucked. Weak leadership is affecting the country as a whole, giving rise to the fucktards from both sides of the political spectrum. Adding in the Communists just for good measure. Too much BBQ and burgers is affecting more than just the physique of many; it's affecting their minds as well.  

You want her to play the role of "the Govt's front person" ie The Prime Minister, then I'd expect her to express her anger at the actions of the Warehouse. They make me angry.
