    Completely OT but every time I hear the commentators reference Sonny Bill Williams, I'm reminded of that really mad character in The Green Mile, Wild Bill Wharton

    The panto crowd are out in force in the Olympic Stadium tonight! I think even some Kiwis are booing ref after decisions against Namibia.

    Always amazes me how good NZ are at holding the ball in one hand. Like they've got glue on their palms.

    All NZ have to do is keep the ball and it's very very easy.

    How crooked was that line-out? And that after Milner-Skudder went again after being tackled.

    The Namibian guy was at Old Wesley, not sure where Barrett won his cross country medal.

    Doubt it. There's been quite a few of those types of tackles so far this WC and nobody has been carded yet.

    I dunno what all the fuss is about. We can take them. If we lose to France, Namibia don't stand a chance

    Ah, I thought he said Barret. I was thinking I never knew that. In my ignorant defense, I'm sitting on the floor of my daughters room with the volume right right down waiting for her to fall asleep.

    Why do you think it was offside? Looked fine to me.

    The scrum leading up to it was a mess.

    One thing I'm really impressed with is how the all blacks are playing exactly on the gain line. Their passes are ridiculously flat (and not just euphemistically flat, genuinely flat)

    Player who picked the ball up was in front of the kicker?
