I live in the UK. for my sins i enjoy reading the sunday times. apart from the sports section. Yellow-card barrage angers ABs, pleases UK media.
Stephen Jones, rugby writer for British newspaper the Sunday Times, had no doubts about what to call the All Blacks' tactics yesterday. "New Zealand were forced to descend into a craven barrage of cheating in the second half," he wrote. "The controversy over the refereeing may rage on for a little while, but only if New Zealand fail to accept that they had to commit every last offence known to the law book to try to keep going as England thundered at them in the second half.
I am not quite sure what Jones has got against New Zealand but his columsn are so full of crap it is the only thing to make me consider buying a different sunday paper. not that all pommie writers are so biased. as jones name suggests he is welsh. but he consistently writes utter shite. end of story. no more idea why the herald should report what he says than why they fisk themselves
The ABs have cleaned up Brit & Irish rugby this and last year and some are not reacting too well.
With that pommie side on the weekend apart from the weedy 1st five you couldn’t tell the difference between the backs and forwards. They are totally one dimensional the poms are the Soviet Union of world rugby and Jones is their shrill of a propagandist.

You should read what he said about NZ getting getting the RWC hosting in 2011. Frothing at the pen he was.

I am a fellow New Zealander and I hate Muppets like Stephen Jones who writes about Haka and New Zealand when he has know idea what he is talking about and why we actually do the HAKA. The Haka is traditionally war dance which the Maori used to do against the English back in the days of the War in New Zealand – it is there to challenge the opposition. It is very disrespectful for someone to say it is dumb and useless when it is a countries culture. Like War, rugby is a all about Tactics and force, which if managed well will make the better team/ side defeat the opposition. That is why we do a war chant at the begin of a battle. Respect other peoples culture of SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I don't think like you, but I support the line, I mean, the rugby writer can't be more smarter. All the people share the same information about it.
