Rugby World Cup 2023

I think you should check the ethnic backgrounds of these players before making such an incorrect statement mate, the majority of these "white" players have Maori blood in their veins.

I'd say its an even split...

You look at guys like Finlay Christie:





Not a chance.

Unless there is a long forgotten Scottish clan from the days gone by called the 'Maori's'...

The McMaori's of Kirkcaldy

Italy score, and then NZ bitch slap them back into place with a counter try!

He was born in Scotland. Honestly you're coming across uneducated about this subject, and I don't want to derail from the game or tournament.

Lol, but that's the point I'm trying to make... Not all of the NZ squad are of Maori decent.

Which was your original statement. I'm counter arguing by providing you with evidence which contradicts that, wouldn't you say?

I said "the majority".

You're judging people's ethnic background based on their appearance, I'd suggest that's a dangerous road to continue down and best to be left alone. You're also judging the haka on being an exclusively indigenous dance as opposed to a culturally significant part of every New Zealander.

 

[Rita_Poon]

NZ running tries in laughing now. Ouch.

I'd say it's pretty even.

It's late I'm far past tipsy to go online and to start tracing the lineage of every All Black player.

So I'll take your word for it...

more lager please waitress...

Lager? I wish! Imperial stout... T'was my downfall...

No problem mate. Original statement withdrawn...

'Tis not my intention to offend anyone in my current state of, ummmm, well, let's just call it 'slightly inebriated'.

I don't understand refereeing in rugby matches. Italian has his hands on the ball illegally, ref yells "hands off!" Is he the ref or the coach? In footy or cricket, you make a mistake, you get pinged, that's the end of it.

The refs are trying to keep the thing moving. They don't want constant stoppages. They often shout "use it!" by way of friendly advice.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Quality kick.

 

[Rita_Poon]

It's on for three figures. What a beasting.

Yeah but things like "hands off" when the player in the ruck illegally has his hands on it, it's given sometimes and other times not, I definitely feel Rugby is the referees play and the players follow.
