Shoshanah Seumanutafa (White Rock, BC) – University of British Columbia / Chiefs Manawa Didn’t realise Seumanutafa was with the Manawa. When was this? Never listed in a roster from what I see on their socials. Do they have a wider training group? I'd be a bit embarrassed to have that listed if I ne...

The relatively tame almost limp-wristed response from Iran (slow-moving drones, pre-warned Turkey & Saudi Arabia - ie: pre-warned Israel) is a game of geopolitical chess. They are trying to egg Israel to hit back hard (ie: mass civilian casualties) to really lose the battle of global public opinion ...

Riots ongoing in Fairfield. Crowd outside (clearly outraged by the video which has gone viral) want to lynch the assailant and won’t let the police / ambulance take the him out of the church.

Talking of the Blues lock curse, Suafoa is now out with cancer. Poor bugga. Hopefully he has a swift recovery. https://youtu.be/YTT_dAAyHAA Can't believe he was still playing while undergoing treatment. That would be tough. Probably the best thing for him in dealing with it. Now it gets really toug...

What’s the point of launching slow-moving drones? Is this Tehran’s version of “we’ll escalate! …but not too much”

I was out and about in the cbd last night among the heaving crowds. It’s all very safe but there will always be some nutter about - as was the case at Bondi the day before too. Unrelated. Very sad for the families of those killed today. One of the reporters even knew one of the victims. RIP.

Third different champion in three years. Aupiki Final Highlights

2022 - Chiefs Manawa
2023 - Matatu
2024 - Blues

Chiefs really should’ve won all three but finals footy does funny things to players under pressure.

Auckman

Pretty good rugby considering the weather. Well done Blues, pretty big stuff to run them down at the end like that. Some good decisions in the belting rain. I haven’t been a fan of Maliepo for years now but that kick into the chiefs 22 was the play of the year. Put Semple under massive pressure and...

Blues 24-18 Chiefs Manawa - FT

Hard luck Chiefies. Set the standard for so many years. Blues cooler heads prevailed in that final 10mins. Awa must be a BF after that effort. Brilliant. Vahaakolo - made metres every single time. Big game player.

If she wasn't good looking I'd be calling for her replacement.

You leave the beautiful ref alone

Just saw the result. Wow what a huge confidence booster for the franchise. Three wins makes this season the most successful yet for MP

About the best the Blues can put on the park, although I see Fisher has been dropped entirely out of the match day 23. Itunu gets just reward for a bat storming couple of weeks and deservedly starts. Puckett returns to halfback but Awa has had an excellent season and I wouldn’t have minded her start...

Chiefsaders seriously pissed that they have to play in Auckland. This is a formidable team. Tubic hasn’t played much top level rugby in nearly 12mths though so although she’s their first choice first five, she’s well short of match fitness. Semple drops to the bench. Edmonds also had a strong season...

Andrew Hore, Blues CEO, responds to criticism of the timing of the final at Eden Park. "Get f**ked, it's not our fault. This schedule was set before the NRL schedules were set. Anyway, name me one wanker who attends Warriors games who would've gone to a womens rugby match in their life? None. So get...

I understand the main argument against further mobilisation is economic. They need their younger population to work and pay taxes to fund the war in the long-term. There’s also a military aspect to it as they’re also relying on them to lead the innovation industries for the military to gain a techno...

I don’t think he’ll have a go in a direct way. He’ll be amping up the cyber stuff and working the algorithms. Working on the American public and politicians like he’s done with Ukraine.

Whatever the economic reality and military capacity of Russia, it won’t stop Putin (or a like-minded successor) doing exactly what he’s done in Ukraine. The political objectives will always trump all else. Who is going to stop him domestically? The opposition parties? They don’t exist. Moldova, Geor...

What happened to Kenya? I remember about 10 years ago they were one of the top teams. Golden generation retired. Some true 7s greats among them like Collins Injera.

Ridiculous for the paltry crowd they’re gonna get but probably more out of tradition and Eden Park probably pushed for it to add to its PR campaign in Auckland’s stadium wars

Although Marty Devlin and Jason Wall aren’t happy as it conflicts with the Warriors and club rugby.

Eden Park gets the nod to host the final.
