Jordan Petaia takes step closer to following Louis Rees-Zammit into NFL

I am pretty sure my education is to a higher standard than yours and most Kiwis on this platform, but please don't consider that possibility before typing (dufus).

Ireland, a team playing great rugby for years and indeed in the tournament. A new challenger to NZ, whom NZ bested in one of the classic Knock out matches. What does NZ do? Mocks them. You disrespected Ireland. You demeaned yourselves and your so called legacy of humility. That's who you are now. So be it.

Hope he will recover fast, although not hasting his comeback to competition after such injury. Unfortunately that means he will probably be out for 6 nations as well.

Johnny Sexton: 'I offered my hand. He told me to f*** off'

What a team mate!

In the second test in NZ. Cane was involved in a scuffle with an Irish player. There was sledging, which is normal. Unfortunately I believe a ref mic picked it up and because NZ lost the sledge went viral. Hardly POMs doing. I don't recall any issue with Sexton, are you making that up?

So Ioane's calling the Irish captain a cnut after the final whistle, him gesturing at the Irish crowd and Retallick doing same to POM appears to over one sledge? I think it was more to do with NZ losing the series.

But while the actions are disrespectful to Ireland they demean NZ and their legacy. Ireland are the up and coming team, played some great rugby for years and in the tournament. Went down to NZ in what some people call one of teh classic knock out matches. What do NZ do? They mock them. It just sullies their own standards of humilty and respect. So be it.

Teddy's just your common or garden variety troll. If you don't feed him, he stumbles off to look for more fertile grounds.

Terry the turd, otoh, is a psychiatrist's dream. That boy is worth a couple of PhDs at the very least. I wonder whether he abused psychedelics as a youth... It would explain a lot, especially if it's true what they say about bad trips.

Some of us have a cutting sense of humor. I also don't respect much blabbermouths, like these two. Examples of the mouths not always connected to their brains.

I did not insult you, unless you are either Ronan or Johnny, but I guess you are not. Need "you"?

Aah yes, the "genius" that is terry the turd ...

In the past he has accused me of being Welsh, South African and Kiwi. He's still not sure what I am so he's settled for r@cist because, y'know, that's all he's got.

He's a sad, sad little man 😥

Can you give me examples of Aussie players abusing supporters at a stadium please?

Can you give an example of Aussie players abusing NZ players after the final whistle?

Can you give an example of ANY team abusing supporters and players after eliminating them in 37 years of RWC history?

It is extraordinary the amount of inventiveness that NZers come up with to deflect from their arrogance after that QF.

Work away. You don't fool us. Honestly, we think you are arrogant a$$holes.Blatant disrespect. Too arrogent and self righteous to admit it. Below is the penalty for abusing spectators at a match. Ireland as usual just packs up moves on. Our players also. You will see in November.

Misconduct 18.4 (b) acting in an abusive, insulting, intimidating or offensive manner towards referees, assistant referees, Citing Commissioners, members of Disciplinary Tribunals or other officials or any person associated with the Host Union, the Rugby Body or the Unions participating in the Match or spectators;

Code of conduct 1.11 shall not use crude or abusive language or gestures towards Match Officials or spectators;

How do you know that? Were you at the ground amongst the players at the final whistle of those games? Sexton would likely win the prize for the most petulant and entitled player of the modern era. There is no way he is above that type of behaviour.

I agree with you about Ioane's behaviour after the game though. It was immature and genuinely embarrassing. And I would add cowardly to that too - calling your shot and sledging when you already have the result and the other team has no right of reply requires no courage whatsoever. Ioane both knows the hollow feeling of World Cup elimination and the fact he couldn't let that be enough says a lot about him.

So basically the whole book is about everyone thinking he’s a Kant and unsportsmanlike?

Who advises this guy? This book seems like a totally bad idea.
