The Zone Virtual Sports Bar, Hamilton.
First topic message reminder :
Hello and welcome to the Zone Sports Bar, a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.
This week the pub has set up in Sky City Hamilton, where the Crusaders take on the Chiefs in the Super XV semi final.
The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Bradley Wiggins, Ernie Els, Irene van Dyk, Sonny Bill Williams and his newly capped All Black team mate Sam Cane.

I feel for Ali having to do this, of course it is a great honour but he seems to be in a terrible condition, this will be pretty tough for a person with his illness especially given how severe his is.

Winning is everything.
Redgrave is the greatest British Olympian... but I think Beckham has a part to make him less sulk-sulk...

Am telling you, the little copper petals will be lit somehow by British Olympic champions...
Perhaps not like but that would be amazing, we have too many great ones to choose from!

I think that oath is a bit odd. You know at least one person gets caught for drugs during the tournament. 9 have been caught already!

They can only 'try' to uphold the Olympic oath though.
Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your opinions) Thomond - this is what the Games is all about.
There will always be killjoys with valid reasons against all this type of self congratulatory fanfare - but what would you prefer?
We had all the skeptics saying the same things before, during and after our Games. They are still going on about it 12 years after the event. They are free to voice their opinion but for me they were/are kind of boring and repetitive. I'd still give them the time of day if they asked me though.
True... there will always be very large cracks being papered over (like Beijing, Sydney, etc) but I still believe even that can help us (when we question this or that aspect of the presentation) but it can also make a change to a country's perception of itself and that is a good thing.
Share the Spirit but never forget the big picture. That's my take on it all.

For Rav, hope eveything's alright man. Apologies.
Rest of youse can get ratassed too. It's the closet thing the Irish will get ot a home games. Dutchies could settle for one in Germany but I don't think they will like that very much.
Agree LB, probably took a bit of cynics view on it. Olympics are a great event, you become an expert on events you don't look at for 47 months.
Interesting to see things you don't have interest in.

We will never reach perfection. We are Human. But we should always strive for it. And for each other.
I think it will be a fairer games than most. Unlike some others.

That was incredibly well done. Ali's was inspiring in a different way but that was senastional. Well done to whoever was incharge of that prevented a war betweeen Redgrave and Thompson followers. I think this might have been better than Beijing...... End was anyway!

Don't think so but you never know. I've offended a few in here I'd say tonight.
Sin é didn't do too much today wouln't be a proper day on here without a Munsterman causing some controversy.
Nicholas Roche and Dan Martin for medals in the cycling!
