Nz domestic rugby 2020

Geez, that was breathtaking, just a couple of little reminders during that game why Nugget is THE 9 in rugby, he was yapping, bullet passes and running everywhere, Frizell has to be odds on for AB's 6 spot. nothing like a games won in 81st minute is there?

He was clearly the best player on the park for mine. At times he just picked up the team and carried them on his shoulders.

This interview with Laumape is a crack-up:

David Havili gone for the season with a broken thumb & son-of-Todd has had surgery on his damaged knee:

Guess that means Brett Cameron starts getting some bench time.

Havili is a huge loss I reckon!

Prob not a big deal in the scheme of things. As long as they don't lose twice they win the title. Even if they do lose twice they probably still win the title.

Jordan is a better talent anyway.

That cantabs and their higher honours hard-on for this bog average player is positively scott hamiltonian

Currently has 85 Mooloo caps but at 36 you'd have to think he won't make it to 100.

[Dismal Pillock]

pretty embarrassing for All Black F.Ffsffitaffs that he can't get a start ahead of any of Reed Prinsep, Scott Scrafton or James Blackwell.

Aso benched for PU Jensen is an interesting one. Both very effective units lately.

Loss Bleus have been doing the Club & school engagement thing in all weathers. Last night it was College Rifles U10's in the wet & Beaugan got burned:

Think we should call Fifta ex-All Black, and put a bit of a maybe even lucky in front of that!

Blues never beat these pricks. And at 0-5 they're going to come out like cornered animals.

Thank God Captain Darling Plummer is back on the bench.

Like that backline.

First start for Duffie, will be keen to impress.

BB at 10. You've asked for it, now show it.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Sam Nock back & still no explanation for the missed games.

1NEWS claiming AB will play a "Pacific composite" side in early October. Coaching staff said to be Tana, Ben Afeaki & Aaron Mauger, players said to include Akira, Kirifi, Nonu & JSav.

https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/spo...fic-composite-side-rugby-championship-warm-up

I has me doubts, but.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

The likes of Akira Ioane of the Blues, DuPlessis Kirfi of the Hurricanes, and Tonga's Nasi Manu will be involved.

FFSwFt sort of jackshit is this? Akira's already getting hiffed in with the dregs and tackle dummy speedbumps for the AB's annual RC warm-up 90 pt massacre? GTFO. Who wrote that shit, fucken Tony Johnstone?

Well let's face it , Akira is hardly going to make AB squad, Frizell would have to have 6 locked up, if not him, Ardie, Papali'i and Boshier would still be ahead of Akira, even if he is playing best I have seen uo until now. Mikaele Tu'u and Sotutu would both be well ahead at 8!
