Some interesting stuff in here - with some discussion of the Aussie side.

I know you've all been waiting with bated breath. Here is the trailer. http://rugbyredefined.com/2015/12/21/richie-mccaw-film-coming-to-cinemas-in-2016/

qwerty rejoices.;)

Suggestions by NZRFU that Hansen will have his contract extended beyond World Cup - before the actual result. Will depend on what Hansen wants to do. http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/veitch-on-sport/audio/steve-tew-hansens-contract-to-be-extended/

Beauden Barrett to start (and also against SA). Cruden left behind. On the day of the flight delay he went out and had a few too many. Was too late in getting back. Story here http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/10528759/Cruden-left-at-home-after-night-out-drinking

This is a simple copy and paste from an in-depth question and answer with Grant Fox at a management conference. (User Dogmeat from the Fern rugby site) Events have overtaken quite a bit of this material but I’ll present it as if fresh. I attended a management conference back in May, which...

Conrad Smith out for a month with a fractured thumb. Malakai Fekitoa to probably get the start. Should be an interesting match-up against Tuilagi. I am hoping Barrett gets the start. Unsure if they will give Read another week to rest an possibly move Jerome Kaino to 6.

The two training camps will be held in Christchurch from Sunday 18 May - Tuesday 20 May and Wellington from Sunday 25 May - Tuesday 27 May. All Blacks Head Coach Steve Hansen said the two camps would once again form a massive part of the team’s preparations for the Steinlager Series against...

All Blacks have a lot of changes. Hansen said they need fresh legs to avoid a loss. ALL BLACKS: Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Ben Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith; Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (capt), Steven Luatua, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Charlie Faumuina, Andrew Hore...

AB side named. Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Ben Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Charlie Piutau, Dan Carter, Aaron Smith; Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (capt), Liam Messam, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock. Reserves: Dane Coles, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Steven Luatua...

Let off - scot-free - ruled as not deliberate. Banned for 0 games. From the citing commissioner - "In his judgement, Oosthuizen ruled that based on the facts placed before him by the player and the assistant referee Cobus Wessels, as well as the video footage viewed during the enquiry, the...

The 'word' is he is thinking of going to either the Chiefs or Saders, with the Chiefs believed to be front runners. A backline of Cruden, Sonny-Bill and Savea would be magic. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/9104478/Chiefs-surprise-leaders-for-Saveas-signature

http://allblacks.com/news/22895/All-Blacks-squad-named-for-Investec-Rugby-Championship Piri Weepu dropped for TJ Perenara. Luatua chosen ahead of Vito. Charles Piutau for Rene Ranger (who declared himself unavailable) FORWARDS Hookers Dane Coles - Wellington / Hurricanes (6) Andrew...

He is struggling to find a franchise in NZ that wants him. Saders and Chiefs have said they don't. He left the Blues and Highlanders. His last chance is making amends with Hammett at the Canes. I seems it will happen but it'll be a difficult talk because he was fired from there by Hammett a...

http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/Super15/Secret-plan-to-kill-Super-Rugby-20130727 I really see this as caused by SA trying ot get 6 teams into the comp'. I really wish the super 10-12-14-15 was shorter. Perhaps split into two pools.

Sorry if this has been posted already. Some hilarious stuff in here. Brand building. http://www.james-oconnor.com.au/

Crusaders reaming the Chiefs - 36-8 after 65 minutes. A bonus point win for the Saders is bad news for the Reds.

Just starting a thread for later today. Nervous as hell about this one. I think the Frogs will be hungry for revenge following the WC Final. A lot of AB player have to have sudden form reversals.

Forwards Hookers Dane Coles - Wellington (4) Andrew Hore - Taranaki (74) Keven Mealamu - Auckland (102) Props Ben Afeaki North Harbour Wyatt Crockett - Canterbury (11) Ben Franks - Hawke-s Bay (23) Owen Franks - Canterbury (45) Tony Woodcock - North Harbour (96) Locks Brodie Retallick -...

Very exciting and high quality so far. Tune in if you can.
