tbf, I've seen that as well. For mine, the punishment has already been delivered since the oppo has the ball. Nah what I’m talking about is that the opposition haven’t contested it, the throw is not straight and actually goes towards the opposition air space but retrieved by the thrower’s team. It ...

I’ve seen the not straight throw going into the opposition’s side but it was still whistled up for not being straight. Followed by another stoppage in play. Those kinds of calls are pointless in my humblest opinion. tbf, I've seen that as well. For mine, the punishment has already been delivered si...

So what does each team have to do to get the W? As I see it, the Canes have to keep the ball in hand, and keep it close to the ruck. Resist at all costs the urge to throw it too wide and keep the backline close together and standing deep on attack. Telea has shown he has a nose for the intercept, a...

This shouldn’t be a law trial. This should be a law change as well. Complete waste of time to sanction a not-straight throw if the other team didn’t even contest the lineout. It just slows the game down for no good reason.

Is Grace Steinmetz any relation to Paul Steinmetz? And what happened to that little pocket battleship who was on the wing in the WRC? Injured? Yeah Paul Steinmetz is her uncle. Now she’s in the midfield just like him. She was originally a winger. Ayesha Leti-Iiga is on the comeback from injury. She...

given what canada did to USA,I doubt goalkicking will be a big factor in the result-imagine NZ will score plenty of tries. Has Paul played much at FB auckman ? It won’t be a factor on Saturday but it will be in WXV1 and even vs Canada & Australia. Need get a proper goalkicker sorted in Pac4 instead...

We need to keep this tournament going. 6 Nations U20 has shown what's needed. All it need is good crowds. But then never in RL country. Its a poor venue selection, weather terrible, no publicity....usual reasons Clearly you’re not going to get people out in the embankments in the torrential rain un...

NZ has a weird thing when it comes to building stadiums. Just build the f**king thing. NZ is a relatively wealthy country, this shouldn't be an issue. It's a no-brainer that Auckland has a modern, rectangular stadium that's close to hospitality and transport links. The fact that's its taken well ov...

Whole thing has been a joke. How hard is it to get all the teams to play at a new stadium? 5 AFL teams have Marvel Stadium as their home ground and 4 AFL teams have MCG as their home stadium. No teams want to commit to the new Auckland stadium because there have been no costs presented. Is this a b...

Just clicked on. What was the Saffa red for? A stupid, low percentage play. Standing still then diving clean out to the back of prone players head in the ruck that was never gonna affect anything. Upgraded to red under review. Bit weird the 20 min red card. Getting another player back after such da...

The world’s highest paid u20 rugby player (by a country mile) is not playing in the JWC. Nosiree. On the weekend he did his hamstring playing amateur club rugby.

Who is this?

I'd imagine quite a few of these players would go on to play pro and test rugby.

Yeah agreed.

So it all comes down to points difference on Sunday with every team on one win each.

NZ U20s 43-20 ARG U20s - FT Better than last week with a mostly new team & new halves pairing. However, still far too many errors for my liking. Still, the more minutes this squad gets under their belt playing together the better it is for them. They should probably play some more Super Rugby develo...

The halves have played well tonight. Simpson and Pledger. Saved their bacon early in the second half

We’re allowed up to 25% over a three month period to be WFH. It really should be more because all of our work could easily be done online. The only problem is if something goes wrong our IT department is shite and it’ll take forever to fix something.

About time those BS mauls are penalised. The England women’s team does it all the time in my biased opinion - essentially creating second mauls when the old one fails

Rubbish call from that AR - Wrampling had already passed the ball before his foot hit the line

We’ve got a much better kicker tonight than last Thursday. Rico Simpson.

The height might save the Argie lock from a red

Any names that will feature for the ABs in the next 3 years

We won’t know until after the world championships. However, here’s a pic from the 2011 team.

8 All Blacks
1 Ikale Tahi
2 Manu Samoa (dual internationals)
1 Welsh international
1 England international

I think the Blues will win. Defence :thumbup: Could be but need to see the teams first. BOK will also come to Eden Park desperate for the Blues to lose. :lol: He was ok last time. What gets my goat with all referees is the failure to ping turnovers from players not supporting their own feet. I saw ...

I haven’t watched the Canes since the last time they played the Blues and I seem to remember our lineout went to shit or was that another match?

Bottom 4 play off with the top-4 of the 2nd division Challenger Series for promotion/relegation for next season (2024-25)

Apparently I can't pretend I took them to a birthday party while staying out late -for them- at Eden lark
