@waiopehu oldboy ,I agree mate, there won't be many changes. I go along with the best players are already in squad, and pissed off as I was Sat night and Sunday, start of new woring week (for those not retired;)) and I back to being calm again. And so don't see any problems except for some of...

Correct @Teh Other Dave , it's over now and time to look forward. I was at match and probably first time I was feeling angry after the test, it looked so bad in last 20 minutes. Anyway home now and a night's sleep in Wellington, a drive home and another sleep, and I now almost shrugging...

Yep I remember way back late 80s, early 90s NZR were talking of banning headgear, because they worried players got a false sense of security wearing the, and would perhaps not be careful

My first thought on the team is I like it. Big forwards, and a couple of rapid boys on the wings is always something an old fella like me enjoys seeing in a rugby team.

Cheers fellas , I obviously haven't really followed Reds closely since I returned home a few years back, and so don't take much notice what's happening there. Only ever knew he had made Reds squad, because of message from one of my nephews. His dad and grandparents are friends.

I'm wondering, Taine Roiri who was in Reds squad, playing for Manawatu here in NZ, has he lost his contract with Reds?

Also think he has to take into account keeping Wallabies in top 6 at end of year, important for WC draw.

Just once again showing what a fun comp. I pleased for Auks with their young fellas, and beating the Mako, who'd a thunk huh?

Was actually him going high into tackle and their heads collided.

I was watching it on the tv when happened, reminded me why our game has some great ethos. And after Kolosi hugged her, he asked her if she was proud of Daddy? And then went over with Ardie to his parents and chatted with them, a bloody great thing to see,

C'mon Canterbury, hold that bloody shield until Oct 4th!!! I laughed when getting a haircut last week, even the woman who did the cut had worked out what had to happen for the Naki to get shield back It's hard to explain to people from overseas what that shield means to us rugby people here...

Geez that is gutting for Tom, I really like the look of this kid. But I genuinely think if he had another concussion, perhaps for his own sake anther career would be best. We have just been through the Shane Christie sadness here in NZ, and much as I love this game, some people aren't cut out to...

That was what I call test rugby. Both teams hammered themselves to a standstill. If anyone watching that doesn't understand that to me. this is the ultimate rugby rivalry!

Interesting podcast I watching. I know it was done pre super this season but it's what a lad one and involves Jack Mesley super rugby CEO, and what they looking at for he super comp. He said really aiming for setting things for 2026-29 and then reassess as new broadcasting deals etc take place...
