honest skuxx coming through

*poses for a photo at his aunties 70th*
#skuxx

This is Damien McKenzie, the best fullback in the game. Say ONE (1) nice thing about him

dead sport

I am unsure of the Accepted definition of Skuxxx.
As a show of antipodean respect I will defer officially defining the language to you guys.

names.org/n/skuxx/about#

I know what UDictionary define as.

To truely understand I guess you have to look to the original Skuxx.

youtube.com/watch?v=H9ILv2l3iVI

Young Damian can only dream.

Stud = skux, and Nonu is the OG as far as I'm aware.
D'mack will never be skux.

"Humble Skuxx" is implies a subtle difference. A self awareness.

I agree Damian could never be as much of a P I M P as the title requires.

Leave that audacious Skuxx business to A Smith & Kaino .

The absolute state of /rug/ in the current year to be quite honest with you lads

goatago lads

Wouldn't they need GoatKenzie to be goatago?

>tfw no eliza mccartney gf

Absolutely livid at the JUST state of the Springboks for that draw.
Very glad I didn't have the opportunity to watch it

This t t t t

I will be boycotting all /rug/ threads until post quality improves.

Proof things are improving.

Factual

Scotland

is

my

bitch

nigger

is a hate word

As captain of /rug/, I disapprove of this thread.

Ok.

>captain

Your not the captain

UNIFICATION EDITION. RUGBY IS NOT BOXING.

The absolute state of /rug/

I wonder which thread will live.
The low effort NZ one, the higher effort NZ one or the hue.

The other nz one. Simply because it was first.

Why the fuck is there like 3 different threads

Hue will not win

#huewillnotdivideus

#huecannotuniteus

Post your face when this guy is your last line of defense.

It's the flailing arms that gets me every time

I dont get what his plan was

So Shag has said he is playing A.Smith at halfback this weekend. He said he is happy with Barrett and Soap's current arrangement with different words. Seems like there will be no changes in the backs at all bar halfback.

#huewillneverberelevant

So do I have to post in both threads, or are we going to be mature about it and abandon this one?

Abandon the other one with the worse OP imo. What sort of message would it send the hue if we backed the lesser of the two threads.

Nah, quality aside, the other thread was first. That's the way it works and always has.
As for the quality of this thread, the obsession with Memekenzie is really getting old. now we have OPs dedicated to him? Fucking come on m8.

cheeky out for an early lunch bump of the superior /rug/ thread

Pool together lads. The Hue can't win.

/heart/

Other than the kicking, he was running the game pretty well.

>Older thread doesn't make it
>Hue thread doesn't
>Neither does the Australian one

Pyrrhic victory t t t t

NZ /rug/ has too much /mana/ to not stand the test of time.

You don't think Scrotty and Reiko might come in?

Crotty is still being monitored for concussions so he isn't really available. If he is well he will be selected.
NMS didn't really do anything to be dropped, McKenzie seems to be set in place atm, we need some experience so Dagg is in. That doesn't really leave somewhere for Reiko but I could see a switch between him and NMS pretty easily. I would say some crazy switch around in the outside backs but that would need Dagg to be fit enough for fullback which I don't think he is there yet.
Shag seems to want to try keep consistency from what he has said since the weekend but who knows really.

Oh scratch that seems Crotty is well and was well enough to play on the weekend even. He will be in there.

>"The rivalry of the two nations builds it up a bit more. It's another opportunity to pull on the black jersey for the guys that get it and it doesn't get any bigger than a test match against South Africa at home," Crotty said.

NZ's biggest rugby rival is back at the level we want them.

Oh I'm sorry Australia I couldn't hear you over the sound of all these world championships.

That's the look of a man who will be voting TOP

Weather readers have way to much fun pronouncing the Māori place names. They have that smug "I have been practicing and nailed it" vibe that I can get behind.

Not happy with our 17 point win. We're looking a little weak

Good

Good plan, if you don't care enough to form a political opinion, you should stay the fuck away from the election.

Who do the French keep coming to NZ and shitting all over it?

If I was a cop I'd target them hard.

Just vote for TOP kek

We don't care about this sport

>kiwis and kangaroos are already sleeping at fucking 4pm
why are they such babies lmao

I wish rugby was more popular. It's a way better sport than american football.

Barrett is starting at 10, A.Smith is starting halfback. Shag has pretty much confirmed that this week.

>shag

>Hansen was reputedly christened "Shag" by New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Tew when the pair worked together in Canterbury some 20 years ago.
>Hansen had a habit of greeting everyone he met with "Gidday, Shag" - so Tew turned the tables and the label stuck to the dry-witted coach like mud to rugby boots.
i.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/96483908
Everyone calls Steve Shag.

>"I think we saw there is a difference between the speed of ball when Aaron's there," Hansen told reporters in New Plymouth on Sunday.
odt.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/smith-back-speed-all-blacks-game-hansen
And nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11920524 should be the full press conference with regards to Barrett. He says something a long the lines of liking the Barrett Soap combo and they often end up there. I posted the actual link and quote in one of the dead threads and can't be arsed finding it. Shag pretty much confirms Barrett starting at 10, if he plays the whole game there depends on if he is kicking or not. Then says something about when he is on the money he wins games with his kicking and when he is off he is off and needs to be replaced, you can't have on bite of the cake or something along those lines. It was a big call for the media to be fair, they loved him last week and he was God because he won the game, this week he is the devil because of his kicking.

Yeah, he's the coach.

It is more popular. NFL is played in America. Rugby is played worldwide.

Yeah that's true. I should've said 'I wish it were more popular on Sup Forums'.

Only rugby fans on Sup Forums are southern hemisphere.

Quite shocking considering the northern hemisphere is where the superior rugby is played.

hello

What the thing in rugby called when they all get in a circle and I looks like a gay orgy?

Kiwis are up

great insight into kiwi degeneracy

Yep. You guys have got the juice.

Where the two rows of guys grapple with each other in an attempt to cuck the other team?
That is called the snap.

The Scrum? Or just a regular old huddle team talk? Or are you talking about a ruck? Or a maul? A lot of things meet that requirement be a touch more specific.

They all get around the ball and grab each other like they're trying to fuck each others asses or some shit

It's fucking hilarious desu

where are the argies? i need a quality post from an American that isnt absolute trash

>tfw 5 years without a lamb

Ok so it's not a team talk huddle. Are they standing, bent over or rolling on the ground?
You seem to be really underestimating how homoerotic rugby is.

Move into dairy did you? Good move if your sheep and beef industry hasn't been pushing the "our meat is the best" meme overseas.

You don't see them often around here since Argie rugby is absolute shit atm

I know.
Gotta learn from the Masters of rug.
