The Rugby Championship 2018

For a ref, no news is good news. Good to hear.

I thought he was really good (in the half that i saw).

Can't produce players but at least we can produce a ref.

Sean Fitzpatrick keeping it balanced & impartial whilst commenting on AB v SA match on British SkyTV:

Bloke on the left looks familiar but I can't think of his name......

Yep that's the Bok No8 Bobby Skinstad I believe, a bloody good player he was too!!

Kiwi fans humble and understated as usual.

AB home fixtures for 2019 have been announced & would you believe it we're playing SA (& possibly Argentina) before Australia!

27 July v SA in Wellington
17 August v Straya in Auckland (Bledisloe Cup)

Bledisloe 1 is in Perth on 10 August. Both Bledisloes will be double-headers with NZ v Strayan women.

What a stupid concept? All Blacks only one away test?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^ we obviously play Argentina away, I just can't find a date for it yet & Bled2 isn't part of TRC.

Yep World cup year.

Think the last WC year ABs only had one home game, think they played SA and Aus away, so probably their turn to have extra home game.
