    Helluva shield game today with George Bell scoring the winner to cap off an excellent performance. Interesting to see Leicester Faingaʻanuku have a blinder at 12.

    I think lack of player engagement is as big a problem as our disjointed coaching group’s muddled tactics and selections. I hear people say Razor’s has lost the dressing room, but I don’t think he’s ever had them. From early on, I got a very strong feeling that Ardie does not like or respect...

    Rugby Championship 2025 (non-Aus matches)

    I’ve never seen an All Black team shit the bed so spectacularly. Confidence sapping for the team, and it will be hard to pick themselves up from, after a record loss of that magnitude. Lots of weaknesses on display for the wallabies to exploit, and I’m bracing myself for the Eden park record to...

    Rugby Championship 2025 (non-Aus matches)

    I‘m still pissed! An inept performance by the AB’s with no one standing out. They‘ll have to lift considerably to be any chance against the boks. Jordan had a bad night, while Reiko and Reece were awful. Still not sold on Ratima or Proctor and DMac added nothing. Watching Macca Springer for...

    NZ Domestic comps

    I‘d have Springer in black now tbh. At very least on the northern tour. Check out born to score on YouTube.

    Expect the AB selectors will be keeping a very close eye on Springer. He’s 1.9metres and 100kg and still only 22. Very quick, elusive, breaks tackles, and a prolific try scorer. A lot to like!

    Crap wasn’t he? Hopefully he’s out by the northern tour, if not before. Proctor still not showing he’s got what it takes. Reiko playing his way out of contention. Ratima ok, but think Hotham will be our longer term backup to Roigard. Vaa’i continues to look good at 6.

    Rugby Championship 2025: South Africa v Australia

    Great result. Congratulations to Wallabies. Really spices up the championship and Bledisloe!

    Wallabies v Lions - 3rd Test, Accor Stadium, Saturday 2 August

    Sounds like a bunch of smarting Lions supporters doing a windup.

    Rugby Championship 2025 (non-Aus matches)

    He‘s a big fan for sure, but I think Robertson will resist the temptation to fast track him back, unless a run of injuries dictate. Even then the crusader bias claims will ring loud and clear. I‘d have the old LF over ALB any day of the week and I expect 2 years at 13 in a tough comp has...

    Rugby Championship 2025 (non-Aus matches)

    Hopefully the Boks don’t fuck around with their mix too much and we get a good gauge on where we’re at. Good to see LF back in NPC. Expect he will make an impact at 13 and come into the mix for the northern tour.

    All Blacks v France 2025

    Feeling a bit hollow after that. Thought the French looked the better team mostly.

    All Blacks v France 2025

    I’ll still be cheering on the Aussies against the lions!

    All Blacks v France 2025

    Hard to get too excited about the result given the opposition. Vaai looking good at 6 so far. Barrett had a game to forget and highlighted how dire things are at 10. Reiko looks due a seat on the pine. Still not sold on Kirifi

    All Blacks v France 2025

    Barrett‘s kicking is shite.
