Re: The state of the NZRU..
I thought NPC was awesome last year but greedy unions like the Wellington spending well beyond their means will send the rugby nation broke. It doesn't take a MBA to understand spending well beyond your means will lead to financial ruin. Someone needs to rein those plums in. Club rugby needs to hav...

it's not surprising that he regards the PU controlled NZRU as mediocre , as that's what we've become in general as a nation.

Re: Rob Penney
IMHO both the Reds and the Tahs got lucky decisions However, there have been countless games where this happens and they’re not mentioned One example that sticks in my mind was Owens granting a penalty to the ABs in the last minute, which denied Ireland their first ever win No one mentions that.

Re: Force v Tahds
It’s like penalising someone for missing a tackle. Makes no sense. It’s like someone not being able to stay on their feet at a ruck, or compete at a lineout without impeding the other player. It’s a question of it being a basic required to play the game. Not bothering to be proficient should be pun...

He is injured. I think they made a mistake including Zarn in this game. Players with knee injuries shouldn't be starting games. Especially top of the table clashes.
