No squad yet but we have a major sponsor signed up which is always a good thing.

Given the subsequent injury to another loose forward, Vai'i, presumably Papali'i remained as cover once Jacobson was fit again. Can you please point me to a similar announcement for Ah Kuoi? This was the most important one https://chiefs.co.nz/news-item/vibes-versatility-naitoa-ah-kuoi-stays-with-g...

We might get a few showers but it doesn't look too bad. Anyway - getting this thread ready for Saturday. I'd have thought with 7 Chiefs in the starting lineup, you would be a happy chappie there Enz! It's a public service for the rest of us to be able to pile in once the chiefs chokers fall apart o...

The number of benefit sanctions has increased by 27% compared to last year, the latest figures from Minister of Social Development (MSD) show. The figures, released on Thursday, show the number of people receiving a main benefit is up 6.6% compared to the previous year. It brings the proportion of ...

Well, he reffed that like a Pom, not a Frenchie

Is Ray Chung the dumbest "potential" politician on the planet.

So, how do we feel about our courts being circumvented by a government Minister? I'm talking about the Fast Track process to approve projects, some of which have been rejected by the courts, in some instances, damn near every court in the land. For instance: Trans Tasman Resources seabed mining off...

Just don't run in front of the ball carrier and take the ref out if it then.

Accuracy required

I thought he did bloody well tonight. Certainly worth persevering with

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

Tupaea just saved Razor's ass then

No way that was an HIA.

New gameplan.

Get the ball to Will

That was a freaking hard call

Who is our defence coach?

This is bloody abysmal

Thanks Reiko. Useless SOB

Just preparing this thread in case of need.

It looks like we might need it.

Agreed PP - Parker is a better number 6 than Vai'i by a long shot (and Finau as well I reckon)

In what way? India looked seriously up for it.. unless you mean England deliberately tried to win?
The Ind fielding was comical, something not right

I suppose you guys are the experts in this so we should take it seriously.

Commendable, but I do wonder if Boca were in a "Don't give a fudge" mode given that they were already out.

While I like the theory, my concern would be failing to adjust thise brackets over time similar to tax brackets. I'm sure there is a way it could be baked in to move with inflation How would we know how many people are in each age and income bracket and what adjustments to make. I say that on the n...

A complete disgrace to send down a C team, half of the squad are making their debuts. TV ratings will plummet, ad revenue will be down, and it makes a mockery of the entire thing. NZ organized this in good faith and will now suffer severe financial penalties not of their own making. They’ve got the...

Personally, I dislike the idea of means testing NZS. All that is going to do is create incentives for people to hide their money. It would also be more burdensome to administer and thus require more public money to implement. It's far better to keep it universal and administratively simple. That's ...

Here is the link to the team naming

When that Maori AB team being named? Don't they have a game in Japan on satuday? Leaving it a bit late... I've been wondering the same, leaving it very late. https://www.allblacks.com/teams/maori-all-blacks I guess they were waiting for the ABs side to be named. Only the provisional squad there on ...

Very little info about this tour on media or in the pubs etc
Games all kick off at stupid o'clock
Who wants to be in the pub watching rugby with your first pint at 10.30am?

Better than making people get up at 3 or 4am to watch!!

Labour state that they will repeal the regulatory standards bill in their first 100 days.

That gets my vote, no matter what.

Brodie McAlister thinks that getting out of the Crusaders works too.
