@acousticrambler @RassieRugby Kicks in play will never make a game more exciting unless it is a chip kick to the corner for your winger.

@Oldsuliansrfc @RassieRugby @adrian_slabbert But if the additional minutes of play involve players counterattacking and proactively and creatively running into gaps (eg NZ, Australia, Fiji) rather than cOlLiSiOnS, then it IS more entertaining.

@Joe_Trinder These lunches look fantastic - cooked hot meals with nutritious animal products. I guarantee you that my kids, and kids at majority of other schools where free food is not served, would love these.

@CrooklynMMA To summarise entire cultures as colonising and racist and that these guys are representatives of that is fairly ridiculous isn't it? Sure they were colonising and racist but I would say almost every single culture was at some point in history.

@PeterJBrennan1 @Guisseppe2626 @tedcruz I think you're mistaken. Our current NZ government in no way supports Hamas and is aligned with Israel and the US in opposition to terrorist fascists Hamas and Hezbollah. Current government a vast improvement on previous Adern administration.

@Fitzp23750 @OMG_ITS_NDABA Oh you've been to Ellis Park or Eden Park for a mid winter ABs/Boks game have you and there's no history, culture, passion, romanticism or rivalry?

@arielhelwani Do you think that stupid people are over represented in MMA? I'm not sure they are. Stupidity and bigotry can be found equally in all walks of life, sport, industries, academia etc.

@UnPressed If John Minto wasn't around it wouldn't make one iota of difference to Jews, Maoris or Muslims and the country would actually be better for it. The vast majority of kiwis are good people who would stand in solidarity with vulnerable groups. No need for Minto and his extremists.

@LaurieFleming @actparty @SimonCourtACT It is Hamas's fault that Palestinian children were killed. They weren't murdered. Murder is what Hamas does.

@LaurieFleming @actparty @SimonCourtACT It's a war. Israel was targeting Hamas militants, not the children. Unfortunately some children were caught in crossfire. Some civilians were killed so that many more civilians, on both sides, will live. As happens in every other war.

@LaurieFleming @actparty @SimonCourtACT Like I said, do you have any proof they were specifically targeted by Israel? Maybe they were being used by Hamas as human shields? Maybe they were barred from evacuating by Hamas and forced to shelter in a substandard bomb shelter due to Hamas redirecting aid funds?

@LaurieFleming @actparty @SimonCourtACT Many children have unfortunately died in war as collateral damage. This is quite different from specific soldiers purposely killing children - do you have any proof of this at all?

@rugby_ap By whatever metric we like? How about all-time win percentage? (perhaps the most important metric). Am pretty sure Richie McCaw has him there.
