Does the Sky satellite broadcasting infrastructure even have the capability of transmitting at 4k? Erm yes. They broadcast the premier league here in UHD, ditto F1 LOL @ Bimbo, he's talking about SKY NZ you know, due to the fact the game was played in NZ. In answer to Deadduck, NO. Sky NZ satellite...

The gyno calls have been all over the place citing steriod use but it can be caused by other things including weed use (which Izzy often talks about doing). Gynecomastia is thought to be caused by an altered ratio of estrogens to androgens mediated by an increase in estrogen production, a decrease i...

Crusaders coach Scott Robertson’s 2021 roster is quickly taking shape, with two more key cogs re-signing. Halfback Mitchell Drummond and flanker Tom Christie are the latest to recommit to the 11-times champions. Both have signed multi-year deals with the red and blacks, Christie through 2023 and Dr...

I think 90% of the posters on here can all agree they have accomplished pretty much nothing they set out to do in three years. Possibly because the greens and Winston have been a handbrake on a lot of things.

Let them have 3 more years. They can’t do any worse surely?

Victoria recorded 113 new cases on Thursday, and an additional 15 deaths. A draft blueprint has indicated Melbourne's stage four will be extended for a fortnight, although the state government says the leaked document is out of date. Health authorities in NSW say it is possible a lack of compliance...

In a slight blow for an already under strength loose forward stocks I see news today that Billy Harmon has signed for the Highlanders.

Tom Christie looks the goods going forward but it’s hard loosing players in areas we don’t have much depth.

JPNZ

Another big bonus for 2021 The Blues have made an important addition to their loose forward stock with the signing of standout Highlanders loose forward and North Harbour skipper Dillon Hunt. Hunt, who has played the last four Super Rugby seasons with the Highlanders, has decided to return “home” to...

Have to say I haven’t heard of Scott Dixon before. Good going. Any F1 drivers or drivers in other world class events apart from Dixon in the Indy 500?

I'm assuming even if they move Auckland to level 2 next week, the rest of the country will be stuck on it for just as long as Auckland given it opens up more travel. There was talk of a level 1.5 or similar with smaller gatherings than full level 1. Maybe they will edit the levels? Regardless all o...

This game looks to be cursed. Regardless of what happens now it won't have a crowd if it even goes ahead at all. The North v South game scheduled for September 5 remains in doubt after the government announced that Auckland will stay at Covid-19 alert 3 until Sunday night, while the rest of New Zeal...

Possibly, either way it surely looks like Auckland will be L2 by Thursday.

So its been postponed until Saturday the 5th September (one week) surely this means that NZR has some inside info from the government about levels being eased otherwise they would have shifted it to Wellington. If NZ Rugby can’t stage the North versus South game on September 5 the fixture will be ca...

240 Cases and 13 deaths.

Its still trending downwards which is good to see, 18 days into level 4 I expected it to be a lot lower though. The chances of having the city out of level 4 in 3 weeks are not looking good.

It is interesting that the arrival from the USA who genomic testing links to the Rydges case tested positive on 31 July. The worker’s case is described as “recent onset” with his first symptoms around 11 August. Does that suggest the virus survived on a surface long enough to be picked up or that h...

Um slightly concerning.... A cool storage facility in Auckland will be tested for Covid-19, with the possibility that the virus could have travelled into New Zealand on refrigerated freight.

Not good news today Victoria has recorded 21 deaths, a new high in the state's daily death toll, and 410 new cases. The state's coronavirus count would have to drop to fewer than 20 cases a day before experts say it could be safe to start easing restrictions, but this milestone may not be too far aw...

In all seriousness there is no way this game will go ahead, even if Auckland goes down to level 2 on Saturday (spoiler: It won't) level 2 is only gatherings of 100 people max. No flights into Level 3 cities unless essential. NZR knows the season has already been decided too. #4peat https://resources...

Some pretty average form from some Aucklanders packing supermarkets and jostling en masse tonight. Stay at home world champs indeed.

The Blues and their fans will relish any win over a team wearing red and black regardless of the names of the players wearing the jerseys. We both know that's not true.
