Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
Some pretty hilarious responses for the weekend losses coming from Highlander and Crusaders fans. The Wellingtonians, tho', generally aren't saying a lot either for good or for ill. I reckon the 'canes (stellar) season to date has put them in a state of shocked disbelief. Got 'em worried that if th...

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
Great performance mostly from the Rebs. Lancaster will be up for higher honours sooner rather than later. Seems like a faster version of Kellaway. Not a bad call but Kellaway is probably the smartest and most reliable rugby back in the country. I wouldn't say that was a great performance. It was de...

Re: Hurricanes 2024. The Midget is gone!
The next 3 games are crunch games.
Chiefs
Drua (away)
Brumbies (away)
They will be true measure of this team I think. Particularly brumbies... we always seem to have difficulty there.
And Lomax need to get one of his AB Rest in as well...

Re: SRP R6 - Highlanders v Hurricanes - Game of the round?
Lomax probably due to be rested. So we might miss out on that battle.
Canes will need to tighten up 2nd half Defence and are probably not going to get the same platform of quick ball that they got last week.

Re: Hurricanes 2024. The Midget is gone!
Rather settled squad, good depth. Hardly any injuries.
Chiefs, then Drua and Brumbies away will show were we are really at.
My only concern is this start has given Ogre a heart attack. He's been MIA.

Looking at that Rebels team again, the nerves did a wee spike. They're not mugs. Yeah, I was surprised by the number of changes. no respect given. Hope it doesn't blow up in their face. Many of the players they brought in are first choice. There’s a few for sure. 3 old heads combining for that try.
