^ so they spent all that money acquiring the necessary land & pissed off/ ruined the livelihood of all those affected & they haven't even built the goddamn road yet? Faark me that's piss poor even for whatever they're calling Transit NZ these days.

They almost finished earthquake valley, and the rest is being done, was being stopped in Otaki when Labour won election a few years back as Jacinda and crew decided they wanted the money for something else (no doubt the fantasy 10000 houses they were going to build) , but with covid they decided to get back into the Otaki/Levin section. The bypass for Otaki looks like ot pretty close the new bridge etc all looks done, just a bit to join up south of there.

I know it's not domestic as such, but did anyone watch thet Auckland Grammar/Kings College game? 125th year of games between them and a bloody good game. 3 points after 70 minutes to underdogs . There is a few pretty good boys playing in the game.

^ yeah I've been watching a few of the 1st XV matches on Monday afternoons (my RDO) lately & the standard is pretty damn good (& most of those "boys" are surely bigger than anyone who ever played 1sts for or against Waiopehu back in the day). Last week they had Palmy North v Hamilton Boys with Carlos' older boy playing fullback & of course his dad was sideline cheering him on.

Bllody Grammar had a prop that was down as 155 kgs, though I would check the scales.
I was down at lower level college game in Hawera here last week chatting to some old fella from Auckland, he had been mamaging Ponsonby when Carlos went up there and still good mates, he said his boy was ok.
And to add saw Carlos' old man was at Athletic rugby old timers day, as was Fabian who presented player of day for the Woodmass family.

A bunch of rampant poachers from Auckland Glamour vs a bunch of pretentious wannabe-Eton poachers. Really struggle to give a bother.

Mate, tell me a private or high decibel shool in the world who aren't poachers of sport talent. Such is what it is, and where you go to see all best players.
Like it or not the better the school usually means bigger their ability to poach!

^ there's a full replay on the All Blacks YouTube channel, if they put up a highlights package I'll post a link. The hit NO fullback put on Kel Tremain's grandson* made the tv news, I'll try to find that as well.

* Sir BJL's grandson also played for HB, quite the pedigree they've got.
