Rieko was solid/very good. Made some great defensive reads.

Agree with Ogre. The DJ was fkn ridiculous. I just want to watch and dicuss the game without being bombarded with music.

I knew when Munster's dad had passed away and that he was still playing that they'd win. 20-0 at half time. Possibly the most perfect game of rugby I've ever seen a team play. Their first knock on was in the 72nd minute or something. Hammer looks to have nailed down the QLD fullback spot for the ne...

Why would he? He was ok.
Back line was poor as was the support play.

It certainly looked poor when Mckenzie, Proctor and Ioane were involved. BB isn't my first choice #10 but I'm struggling to see the rationale for Razor dropping him.

He had his critics, and Ardea Savea has virtually none, but Savea was a poor shadow of what Cane brings to a test match.

Kahu

Gee, those disallowed tries (all correctly called) kept it way closer than it could have been. Just not accurate enough. I hope the rust has been thoroughly rubbed out All I would say is if you are going to ref 'obstruction' like that, it had better be reffed that way in every play. Bullshit. This....

Exactly. Clarke lives for high kicks.

Beauden is the same with rush defence, it is hard to play when defence is right in your face. Chiefs failed to do that with Reihana. Indeed, as is Mo'unga. It's a shame we only seem to have a certain type of 1st 5, slight and speedy. I'd love to see how we'd go with a Butch James, Handre Pollard or...

Managed to secure a signed jersey from 1995 yesterday. Squad, Management Team, Coach and Mandela. https://i.ibb.co/DHfsgw97/c3e0c47d-9434-4d0f-81bc-31994e6f596f.jpg That's awesome.

Yes their forwards have been dominant. And yet none of them would be playing for the Springboks if the SARU had the same amateur-era eligibility rules as NZR. Almost every forward in the Springboks squad is based offshore. Perhaps we should be considering doing what they are doing? Perhaps we shoul...

Yep, he's been worked out... not up to test level.

Good on you all, fellow rugby fans/ internet saddos.

We have Narawa, Rieko and Carter. I would consider all of them better. Clarke hasn't scored all season and Reece shouldn't be an AB. Neither should Clarke. He clearly struggles to make good choices when under pressure. At least he's fast. What was it? 129kmph in a 50km zone? :lol: something like that

Kahu

I can't believe NZ doesn't have better wingers than Reece and Clarke? Compare them to what France and SA have... we have no pace. We have Narawa, Rieko and Carter. I would consider all of them better. Clarke hasn't scored all season and Reece shouldn't be an AB. Neither should Clarke. He clearly st...

It's not rejection if you've been told you'll definitely be getting the call up sooner or later. Probably wasn't even told over the phone. Was probably at Crusaders championship party.

Kahu

I've been critical of Blackadders selection in the past but he's in career best form imo. His contribution to the Crusaders has been exceptional over the last 5 to 6 weeks. Without him I don't believe the Crusaders win that title. His non selection seems inconsistent and random. Ikr? The only thing...

Gutted for the Pacers. Those 3 turnovers in a row from McConnell in the 3rd quarter killed them. Terrible luck losing Haliburton like that but that's the breaks. Well deserved championship for the Thunder and particularly for the real MVP, Sam Presti

Kahu

I disagree that NZR's outdated eligibility rules are not weakening the AB's. And there is clear evidence of our traditional rivals, the Springboks, becoming stronger and more successful by making a similar change. Stop whinging, because something maybe works for SA, doesn't mean it will work for ev...

Kahu

Neither team have won it before, but of the two the Thunder have a claim on a previous title (as the Sonics won one). If we're giving OKC credence for the Supersonics title surely we gotta give it to the Pacers for their ABA titles. I'm cheering on Pacers. Gotta back the underdog. Do OKC & the Pace...

Kahu

Fair enough. There might be hundreds of players but realistically how many of them would likely be in consideration for an AB squad place? They would improve the standard of our SR squads, which would in turn raise the standard of our All Black squad. Even if we did hypothetically retain the 40 bes...

Pacers outgunned them with their defense and pace. Thunder couldn’t get stops or knock down 3s. Jdub and Shai were nullified out there, tough place to win. OKC At home is a different beast though, rooting for the Thunder to take it out Monday. Me too because they've not won it before, and coz Reggi...
