Can you afford expensive Kiwi pinot noir Bob? Some bottles here are over 25 quid...christ knows what that would be in the UK...most UK wine importers know that Brits know beer better than wine...so they buy cheap kiwi shit and put a price on it.

25 quid? Hardly expensive...I usually buy cases of good stuff in Thailand at 1500THB a bottle.....

I know what I like but my father was very knowledgeable about wine, I inherited his membership to the Wine Society and also about 50 bottles of seriously good wine......

Sadly it's in the UK awaiting my return to drink it.....

so they buy cheap kiwi shit and put a price on it.

If you believe that then you are quite dumb, the people buying wine for retailers in the UK know exactly what they are buying, they are not some dumb yokals buying shit at a price......

Wealthy bastard eh?...mind you that was NZD50 here. It would be more expensive in the UK. FYI I stayed as a top hotel once...got served expensive Kiwi wine... had never heard of the brand...and it was pure shite

So the truth of it all is..... you paid top dollar for shite.....they saw you coming.....

Nah...I was a guest...I didn't pay...but I saw how much it cost...it was pure shite...would have been in the bargain basement here...anyway why would you bother to buy expensive Kiwi Pinot Noir when you can buy Burgundy just as easy...made from the same grapes...but you know that anyway don't you...Kiwi Pinot Noir makes French burgundy taste musky in comparison...Aussie Pinot Noir is very drinkable and better priced than the Kiwi version...but it lacks that special taste factor that Central Otago creates.

Tonight is the final for the top side in the southern hemisphere...read the planet...but nobody outside NZ gives a shit...they don't want to be reminded

Being hated hurts I guess Bwucey?

And I will be watching two great sides play.

By the way what time does the match start?

Are any of the wingers non-Fijian?

Crazy game, being played like a 7s game - the Hurricanes are running everything from so deep, I reckon they will make an error deep and lose a try or 2. Great game, but the Highlanders seem to be stronger tactically.

I like Baratt, very good ten, but we're seeing some of his weaknesses here.

Million miles an hour so far, ref staying out of it.
Not sure they can do another 40 minutes of that...

and the commentators have praised him for it... a dig at somebody I think

I agree BB...the score reflects the game IMO...Steve Hansen is going to have a problem after this...where to fit more AB quality forwards in the team

Jaysus BB...The Canes don't have Fijian wingers

Sure is...if the All Blacks play like this it will be an interesting RWC

They are big and strong fellas, must be Fijians!

They could lose the WC playing like this... Some great play and skills, but the experienced Chiefs and Crusaders will bring a LOT more structure to the CKBs. Players like Ben Smith are superb tactically too.

The Crusaders have such great strike runners and can score from anywhere so you never know, but the Highlanders are playing a great game and in the right areas.

That big Fijian right winger is quite a player! The CKBs will romp this WC if they can bring all these players together.

Some very good lose forwards on show too.

Awesome match, Canes out coached and out muscled.

Yeah, good coaching and tactics there. Two excellent teams, but the Hurricanes weren't playing in the right areas often enough - playing high risk rugby against a great defence doesn't often win the game...

Didn't England have a Fijian winger in the side within the last 12 months, Bath player......
