Not OP but I think so.
Also based Argie dropping truthbombs.

>there are currently 87 (eighty seven) soccer threads on Sup Forums

I'll just let that sink in for a minute

/socc/ fucking when lads

goatago will win it all to be dishonest lads

Pootago won't even beat Harbour m8

>It's still making threads

Shaun Stevenson and Chris Eves playing for Harbour this year. No Michael Little, Matt Magahan or Rene 'Who Cares' Ranger

Reminder that harbour WILL lose to every south island team they play this season

>TRC starting in one week and no vibes on it

>Never, ever lose your biscuit

what did he mean by this ?

...

Not Southland. Especially not when we're on such a high from beating Notago.

Harbour will beat Pootago and Seetheland, and quite possibly Cunterbury.
Draw with Tasman though because they're bros.

Robbie Deans?

2 Questions for you:
How do you think Robbie Deans performs in the bedroom?
and
Do you think he could make Hannah Laity Queen of /rug/ Squirt?

*throws up*

Reminder to report all Garold posts.
We WILL kill the cancer lads.

You found a cure for cancer? Brilliant! You will be mega rich. Congratulations BSK.

TONIGHT

3 more sleeps. 4 games on Saturday.

*fuckful insomnia*

...

just had a full potential kinetic fuckful insomnia lads

Do you need surveillance?

...

You must be doing it on purpose at this point.

Your mum got a fuckful of me last night lad.

*boycotts post*

Reminder that if you're not watching Twin Peaks tonight, you're a faggot and certainly not my nigga.

Do not own a tv sorry.

Like I said.

This?
>NO
>RUGBY

>TONIGHT

No, this:
>you're a faggot and certainly not my nigga

Is there TV license tax in NZ like in UK?

I'm watching King Of The Hill you poofter.

*boycotts answering your question*

There used to be.
They'd go door-to-door asking for the money.
>nah don't have a tv sorry mate
kek

I don't watch the televised jew sorry mate

That's just fucking stupid.
Sup Forums doesn't translate here.

I was taking the piss
is the new series good, I downloaded it but never got round to starting it.

It's really good. If you like Twin Peaks.
It's not for everyone.

I enjoyed the original aside from the filler in season 2

Better get on it then.
You've got 14 episodes to watch.

Squad predictions for upcoming Bledisloe test?

Mine is;

Moody
Taylor
Franks
Retallick
Whitelock
Kaino
Cane
Read
Nugget
Barrett
Ioane
Crotty
SBW
Dagg
Smith

Crockett
Harris
Tu'angafasi
Barrett
Savea
Peranara
Soap
ALB

>SBW starting
yeah nah.

>Memekenzie not starting
*kek*

>Memekenzie even in the squad
*laughs out loud*

My prediction based on Steve Hansens previous selections. I wouldn't have him in the team either.

It'll be Crotty/ ALB

That's what I want to see but Hansen opted for $BW in the Lions tour and appealed the ban so I think it'll be him.

I respect your obviously elite rugby knowledge as a BSK, but I hope you're wrong.

Did you take into account his ban or was that overturned?

It was a 4-week ban wasn't it?
Surely that was > 4 weeks ago

So do I lad, so do I.

Matches. Last I heard he was missing game one of the Bledisloe.

That's good to hear. I don't read the SBW news, I get tired of the shit storm that surrounds him in the news.

In that case the team I predict is;

Moody
Taylor
Franks
Retallick
Whitelock
Kaino
Cane
Read
Smith
Barrett
Ioane
Crotty
ALB
Dagg
Smith

Crockett
Moody
Tu'ungafasi
Barrett
Savea
Peranara
Soap
Skudder

>New Zealand Rugby had proposed Williams could serve the ban by missing the third Lions test, the final match of the Blues' Super Rugby season and two other games before the first Bledisloe Cup test on August 19.

>World Rugby originally ruled that the televised training fixture involving both Counties and Taranaki, with each side playing one half of the match, would not count and Williams would have to miss the Bledisloe test to complete the ban. However, on appeal an independent disciplinary panel on Thursday found in favour of Williams.

Meaning he's served his ban.

>moody twice
>prop sub before the hooker sub
>loose forward sub after one of the back subs

Harris not Moody on the bench.

Jordie Barrett is out for the season lad.

i keep forgetting about the avo barret

*dabs*

where my NH boys at

better not let dive grass kill the thread again

Hiding

These scorelines at the WRWC are pretty scattershot. guess the lack of a real competitive pro scene and regular televised matches means there's just massive powergaps?

Go to bed

*SBW's into thread*

If Brazil could stop fucking making threads that'd be great

Threads aren't problems, boycotts are problems.

Scotland

...

test

*boycotts brazil*

I just want australia to not be shit again lads ;_;

kiwis are up.

and /rug/ didn't 404 overnight.

...

poms are still up.

Over night news:
The Beaver returns to CM for Mitre 10 cup
Barnes replaces Graces for the first Bledisloe match
The Wallabies cuck Dunedin
$B₩ is a cunt even news outlets are hating on
Western Force players are upset

The lighter side:
Wallabies think they can not only beat the AB's but win the Bledisloe for the first time in 14 years this season

All me lad, sorry if the other one did, I have been away.

*dabs back to page 1*

So this is the power of New Zealand...

Woah

Impressive right.

Ah yes, the famous "New Zealand wins lol" Championship. How long is this competition going to last after all the SA teams move to NH leagues anyway?

Except in World Cup years. Australia has that shit on lockdown, just enough to give average punters hope.

Even Argies and SA won a couple of "unexpected" ones in WC years. The whole comp really steps it up.

>the whole comp really steps it up
>the NZRU forces all its World Cup players to take sabbaticals and not play super rugby in the lead up to the World Cup

I am up.

This is my post, please don't make it with your flag.

How do you know he's not a dual citizen?

I am
One of those is not kiwi land though
