All Blacks & AB XV Northern Tours 2025

[waiopehu oldboy]

I saw those replacements WOB, been no word has there. Have they been naughty boys or something?

Wouldnt be surprised at all if those two fail some sort of dickhead test.

Silence on the part of NZR suggests either or both likely.

The calamitous and historic first EVER loss to Ireland in 2016 and look who was front and centre for that epochal misery.

Decided to Google "All Blacks XV" & under the News tab was an AB Facebook post titled "Squad Update" confirming Delany & Hannah in for NAK & IW-L but giving no reason(s). Nothing on any of the usual sites either so it's all a bit mysterious & can only lead to wild speculation (over to you @Dismal Pillock).

Can't find the game on the sky guide & now that I think about it I don't think I've seen it advertised. You have an nzr+ sub don't you @Dan54? Can you confirm they're showing it? If so I'll probably sign up.

Game is now being advertised as being on skySport 2 from 2am Sunday morning NZT.

Edit for @Dismal Pillock: on allblacks.com there's a "where to watch" directory but it only appears to apply to AB not AB XV so it'll have to be a livestream of questionable legality copyright-wise.

I will have a peek.
Just checked WOB, no not on there, think I read some tv outfit in Pommy land bought rights of the Baabaas games a week or so back. Also Flo rugby in the states got it, though not sure I want to pay $30 for a month to watch it.

As above it's now listed on skySport 2 & I'm pretty sure it wasn't there on Wednesday so maybe a last-minute deal with the host broadcaster?

Yep you right WOB, it wasn't up earlier in week, and even when I googled where could I watch it nothing came up couple of days back. That is good it sorted anyway.

Someone just posted elsewhere, he had rung Sky, and they said they had a hell of a lot of calls, and so they got it sorted.
