Whoops WOB, I thought at first this week was moved, but it's final next week is being moved forward to earlier kick off, as you said and I didn't read properly'. The provinces happy no doubt as they all know earlier kick offs work for crowds anyway.

Amen, that stupid idea that Dean Lonergan came up with in 2020 was rightly squashed as soon as seriouls talk started. I was pissed NZR didn't tell him to take running jump at first talk, I didn't care how much everyone was going broke because of covid. Everyone knew it was dead in water and...

Bit bloody conservative for a development team. I don't see Havili, MacLeod as being development players, so guess they worrid about results, and mixing in experience etc. So guess it more a straight 'B' team. Certainly no bolters that Robertson talked of yesterday.

That is great news for all of Rugby in general (a player returning to ranks) and especially Reds AND RA, more options for Wallabies and Reds is alaways good news.

Pretty well team as I thought it would be. I didn't see many changes. Thought maybe we would of seen Darry get a look, but apart from maybe Tangitau on wing (couple of players I wouldn't of minded a peek at), I don't think genuinely there was a chance of changes. Even those two maybe considered...

Once again , wasn't that something stupid when there was talk of a crossover game a few years back? As Sir A says it was craziest of crazy ideas that were thrown about.

Couple of tasty semi finals, I wouldn't write of any of the 4 teams. Hawkes Bay were pretty good on weekend and Canterbury may take a couple of days to get over their 100 minute game against Counties. And the Bay against Otago? Think Otago would be favourite-just.

Ok hadn't read that, but good. This is all I have read a couple of days ago, so obviously something pretty new 2 days ago — Swyftx signs a deal with the One New Zealand Warriors, marking the country's first cryptocurrency sponsorship of a professional sports team. Perhaps a Warriors release, and...

I think the NZers they talk about might be Warriors, think I read something about that.

Would be great, I can see China up there with that grin and a beer saying it'll be easy boys!

Well the Naki had wrong night to play dumb and dumber tonight! Had Hawkes Bay down to 14 players in first half with Fakatava in bin, we take kick at goal ( successful), and in second half we had a penalty right in front to close it too 7, and we take scrum although OUR No 8 is in bin :rolleyes:

I can certainly understand why Hastie has pulled up stumps from the Clan and heading to Force for Super next year. I strongly suspect he could see he was going to be 3rd halfback at best for the Clan! I will add another thing that impressed me with Pledger, when asked about the intercept try...

By geez that Otago/Waikato game last night was another ripper. Waikato scored just on fulltime to make score 41 all, and then Otago get penalty from almost kick off and Millar sinks a 50odd metre penalty for Otago to win 44-41. Whole bloody game was a blinder , and just served to remind me why...

No way should he even be considered. It's a head injury, just let him get over it properly.

So reach is really a number you don't want? ie so over 2 mill people watched a bit of AFL final and didn't watch it all? And first Bled 600,000 watched a bit and same as above? Is it lack of actual interest, or just a lot with no concentration level?
