Aren't the Dutch the tallest people in the world? I'm surprised rugby countries aren't scouring Dutch schools for talent... "Have you ever dreamed of being lifted into the air?"
I think SA have done this…
At least one slipped through...

Am I right in thinking this is your (and SA, Args) last game until the Rugby Championship? You'll be on ice until the Lions leave Australia? I think so. Your lot will be good and toasty by the time the Championship comes around. it would be nice if our boys stop dropping like flies at the moment so...

Rikki Swannell is excellent IMO.

I dont like listening to a female lead commentator, even if she is good in the womens game.

Why isnt Tony Johnstone the lead commentator now?

Theybe been saying that for 40 years If you look at the history of the world cup, the only year when France had a team with a serious chance of winning a world cup was 2023. 1987 - they were far from ABs level 1991 - it was a low in French rugby history 1995 - excellent team, but unless the ABs wou...

booze

Yeah, but France should have won that WC... easily the best team on talent alone. But somehow contrived to lose it... in saying that, I'm not sure playing and winning tour matches in NZ would make any difference to the French psyche.. Yes, I know the Boks like to talk their team up like it's the be...

I don't particularly like eligibility based on ancestry, but we do have to concede that the PI nations are something of a special case in international rugby and would be massively hamstrung without it. Yeah, the PI's are fvcked without ancestry, hell they're fvcked even if only grandparent was rem...

I believe that's roughly the cost, plus booking fee. Not really my thing tbf- i think Blur songs have aged better. You can keep Blur AND Oasis. Give me Supergrass and Pulp, live or otherwise.

WR needs to take a long hard look at Samoa & Tonga & make sure they don't end up in League hell. Fiji thankfully seems to be going to the light. People have been saying they need support for decades.

Strong debut from Holland but the jury is out on the rest of the debutants. Have to wait and see over the remainder of the series. I thought Norris did well at scrum time but that’s fair. Thought norris snd Tosi had good impact as well with ball in hand. That obstruction call on tosi was ridiculous

On Saturday, if you're so inclined, you'll be able to go from NZ U20s vs Georgia U20s into Black Ferns vs Black Ferns XV into Maori All Blacks vs Scotland into All Blacks vs France.

I'll tell you who was utter shite. That shambles of a flyhalf playing for the Baabaa's. Deer in headlights stuff. Yes, totally out of his depth. Probably hungover from a week on the piss.

The Boks are the worst side for the Barbarians to play against, from the perspective of a spectacle. The attritional, set piece and territory kicking game just kills the entertainment value.

After being one of the most dominant coaches in NPC history, Rob Penney has now also conquered Super Rugby. Should he be the next All Black coach?

Didn't realise that BB had so many caps. Obviously he's been around a while but he's on 134 caps. :shock: If he plays every test this year, he'll rocket up to 147 test caps by year's end.

With the RWC draw being done off rankings at the end of November 2027 Internationals, NZR should welcome any help that the French are willing to provide.
