Why would I mention rugby players at all? I don't, and never have coached them.
What I said was that these young girls and ladies are desperate to learn, and far more inclined to listen than their male counterparts, who generally have the arrogance of (male) youth getting in the way of their ears.
I would think that's fairly common among a lot of sports.

Poor old Sam Cane, he hasn't really kicked on in the THREE tests since he replaced the best flanker in the history of the game.
Ardie Savea could well displace him before long I think.
As for Dagg, I thought he was gone after missing the RWC, but he's been playing so well for the Crusdaders, that he simply had to be included.
Nobody will fancy kicking to a back 3 of Dagg, Ben Smith, and Savea/Naholo with Barrett also popping back there from time to time.
Get it wrong, and it'll be curtains.

I was over there and there was just some bloke in a mint & lemon polo shirt.
A bit like the Orlando shooter protesting too much about how straight he was.

When I questioned your coaching motives you got all indignant (this was before you called ME a Paedo just now) and said the women paid more attention.
And said the rugby players were arrogant know alls

Watched all three of your games Jonah v The Taffs... enjoyable fare as well and give the Taff's their due first two tests were real contests... one thing I did notice is that Sam Cane is a bit pony... that and Israel Dagg is back with a bang...

To be fair, I probably would have watched a bit more of the series if I hadn't had to put up with Clarkey and Kearnsy and those other Aussie commentator drongos.
I do miss the UK Sky coverage because it's generally pretty well balanced with a pundit from each country.

After a brief respite at the World Cup, the Aussie pack has returned to form - the weakest of all the top nations.
I'd say our tight 5 is the best in the world at the moment and the backrow is making huge improvements as well.

Six months ago they were the most exciting team at the World cup, not sure much has changed.
England were just to strong for them upfront, as they will be for anyone now

Well CS, tell me, did you think they were REALLY good in the recent series?
As I understand it, England didn't even really (have to) play much rugby to win the series.
I didn't watch it, but I do know that they've not had a very good record against NZ for years now, so yes, I'd say they are pretty shit at the moment.

Why would I coach women's indoor cricket teams because male rugby players are arrogant pricks?
That just doesn't make sense.
I honestly cannot imagine you having played any sport at a high level. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but you are more a "I was there watching" person.

"Australia are complete and utter shit at the moment"
Steve Hansen doesn't seem to think so, but I'm sure you'll say that's mind games...

Ha ha
Oh dear I think we have had this conversation
The next bit is where you make assumptions about my sports career and admit that you coach women's indoor cricket teams because Kiwi male rugby players are arrogant pricks who won't listen.
How about we skip that and call it a day.
You could use the time saved watching highlights of Australia winning another ODI trophy in the West Indies

Let's remember that YOU are the one who has just brought up NZ on this thread, not me.
Why on earth would you think the girls are Maori? Or even mention it?
You've got a touch of the Peter Roebuck's about you I reckon.
And not the good cricketer and superb journalist part.

Well, what I actually said was that England had a better chance of winning it than your rabble did.
Which is more a statement on how shit Australia are, than how good NZ are, I'm sure you'll agree.
