I can only imagine that the NZRU would be keen on Robertson going elsewhere to gain international experience. Good for him. That is a pretty flawed stance they take. It’s seen all our top coaches leave and not come back. Hansen, Henry and Gatland all came back. Gatland twice. Hansen and Henry came ...

Whether or not that was an Argentina B team or not is irrelevant. That was the team selected to represent their country and the ABs can only play the team in front of them. The forwards showed that when they focus, they can make good ground in the tackle, they can clear out well to ensure quick bal...

Good performance overall against a committed Argentina defense again. Alot of missed opportunities but a more ruthless and effective gameplan based around kicking that kept them pinned well in their own half even if it was a bit ugly. Bit of an English style win tonight with a 10 who kicks his goal...

Suck it up. Did Wales want to report him after the disgraceful actions in the 3rd ABs - Lions test in 2017? No, they probably revelled in it. Can’t have it both ways... WTF are you whining about now?

He was good and a big improvement on Frizzell who just isn’t up to test match level in my opinion. He also started well in his debut match before red cards meant a premature end for him. A fully fit, focussed and disciplined Ioane can be a big asset to this All Black pack, that has struggled with ph...

Top 4 in the world rankings are now: 1 South Africa 94.20 2 England 88.73 3 New Zealand 88.17 4 France 85.66 With Covid and how the way the ruby world is, I think these will be the top 4 (minus the odd interloper) for many years as these are the 3 countries with most cattle (and New Zealand), what ...

He’s probably not wrong though. NZ need to have a rethink about how we play the game right now, our tactics and what type of player are we producing to compete in international rugby. It feels like we are like lots of SA sides in the past that the ABs beat regularly - as in being a bit behind or at ...

How is an insult aimed by a woman at her long time heterosexual partner homophopic ? You are right, It’s quite ridiculous. I would have thought the line ‘you’re an old slut on junk’ would cause more of an outcry! Simple fact is the music young kids listen to, especially on Tik tok, is far more offe...

TBF, Chikka is probably a good fit once you take away the actual responsibility of running a team or anything to do with tactics. He can just concentrate on things he has in common with the Puma players like passion and being both hairy and bald at the same time. What is his area of expertise in th...

Played 5 won 2. Is that like Irish level of Rugby competence? Boks have won 14% of their last 21 tests vs ABs. 14 f**king percent! A blight on the integrity of the once greatest rivalry in the game.

With South African teams no longer playing Super Rugby against the NZ and Aus teams do you think we will see rugby standards drop in those nations? We have the prospect of playing in another comp up north, the AUS and NZ sides will be all by themselves. Can‘t be good for them. Lack of competition a...

Congrats to the argies!!

the ABs look a very poorly coached side with not enough on field leadership.

Big rethink required for how we play the game. Fozzie shouldn’t last the end of season review.

:lol: Go back to counting cars Obrlix. I thought I'd count the points turnaround in a week Ackman. 40. And the lack of experience he selected. 8 of the 23 had a total of 11 tests between them.

Either way, my point was more so how tiny that value is compared to other sports. TBF if 15's was a major world sport NZ probably wouldn't do so well. And how do you think all the other teams would fare? Y’know all the teams like England who already have more money and much larger player base and h...

Bled 4. Rotation rears its ugly head. What happened to continuity? And shuffling positions around. I'll be watching Akira closely tomorrow.

Will Georgia be added to the 6N along with South Africa in 2021 to make it the 8N? An even number of teams is obviously much better from a scheduling and broadcasting point of view. They'll just cut Italy instead, who can then play the Georgians in a 6 Nations "B". The 6 nations turned down world r...

I just can't see an AB win. No penetration in the midfield, no beast ball running forwards, just going to be another massive defensive effort to try and stay in the game and keep it close. fudge me. Like we have never won a game before with that midfield. I thought you were an All Black supporter?

I hope we don't go. We're in no shape to play international rugby and even less so without the overseas Boks.

The All Blacks were awared two tries that should not have been allowed, one was a probable yellow card for a professional foul. The Wallabies were then denied a match-winning penalty, which should have been for sure a yellow card, and a knock-on advantage after Reece Hodge's penalty attempt bounced...

If the Boks don't play, it's because they're unable to. There was a Bok A v B team match, so the plan was to play. Not many of the players have played more than two games since lockdown (guess the Europe based players have played more?), the logistics of quarantine and being able to train together ...
