News being reported here in New Zealand now. Stu came to prominence about the same time as I started following Rugby. Growing up in Wellington, he loomed large over the Rugby landscape there, and his wing partnership with Bernie Fraser was something special. That Wellington back three of Fraser, Wil...

Umm, how many tries were scored by the Hurricanes backs tonight??

Nic Berry is the most god-awful referee that ever refereed.

Wouldn't know how to ref a breakdown if he had it slowed down and colour coded.

Bit of a spanking to be fair. I thought after the tickle up they got from the Chiefs last week that MP might turn up with a bit of a point to prove, but it would appear that the Hirricanes were still smarting from the trip to Albany earlier this season. PUJ and Proctor both firing are a hell of a mi...

Doing an 80s flash back this week, my wife and I are flying to Brisbane to catch up with friends and to see Alyson Moyet.

(If I was really organized, would have flown 24 hours earlier and watched the Cane's at Suncorp as well.....)

Great game and great result, but all I can think about the Hurricanes last night is...

That lineout will not win Super Rugby....

Its a shame Ardie believes the sky fairie is responsible for this and not him and his boys. I can see where his natural display of humility would bother a lot of pricks and cvnty folk. So humble, especially those retweets of Andrew Tate. Real AB captain material :? So, tell me, how far back do you ...

Not that one, the other one. Oldest living All Black Bill McCaw has passed.

Distantly related to Richie McCaw apparently.

RIP Bill.

Watched the whole game.

My darling wife has decided that Moana Pasifika are her favorite team, and we are only a short drive away from North Harbour stadium.

How good is Ardie though!

Geez MP were good tonight, but I have a question with Crusaders' Ethan Blackadder I admit to of been a fan, but I watched him tonight, and is there a busier player, who actually does nothing constructive. He was getting off ground etc, but almost all the time when there a breakdown he was a second ...

Italy turned up today. The All Blacks played like they had their passports in their pocket and one foot on the plane. Glad to see the commentators starting to call out how much ball is wasted once it gets in the Reikos hands. I know it was a cold night, but he's a professional rugby player, and his...

This is a very strange feeling for me. First of all, the officiating across the board was well below an acceptable standard. That neck roll call of Tuungifasi is a prime example. There were a few unusual rulings that in a game with such a razor thin margin, but that wasn't the winning or losing of t...

My takeaways from that game. TJ should have been on the bench. They needed an old head to steer the ship home, and Ratima was not that man. I also thought that Ratima was brought on far too early after the half. Roigard had the rhythm of that match, and that was lost at the time the substitution was...

Is it any wonder the NH has only 1 RWC win when our rusty and disjointed sides meet the battle hardened SH teams in full flow. The Springboks and NZ wouldn't have been within an ass's roar of the final last year if Ireland and France didn't have to contend with the unfair timing of the tournament. ...

not kept up to date with rugby in general outside of Irelans and Leinster. Who's the Kiwi 6? Very good player. Wallace... a Scottish import. No irony there, he was named after William Wallace by his father, Semo Sititi, who loved the film Braveheart. Wallace lived in Scotland for the first 5 years ...

The Craic will be awesome in Dublin tonight. My takeaways from the game: Roigard > Ratima. TJ on the bench next week? Roigard to start? Huge shift from Aumua. When was the last time a hooker pulled an 80 minute shift? Sam Cane in his swansong tour has become a man possessed. He's looking to exorcise...

Here's my question? If one player puts his hand out, and an opposition player passes the pall INTO HIS HAND, how is it that the first player is penalised for a deliberate knock down? Don't they teach logic to TMO's?? Err because he deliberately knocked it down ? No, his hand was out before the Engl...

capt hurricane

My take on the game. Wallace Sititi is definitely the find of the season. Played a blinder, looks like he's been an All Black for years. Enjoyed the play variations from Beauden in the 10 jersey. Ill discipline cost us dearly. There needs to be more structure in defence, and tacklers need to watch t...

I don’t think you are. This is a very poor All Blacks outfit.

Ireland by 18+ points.

Well, if they're that bad, how did they win?

That's an outlandish statement. Name 10 better current test wingers.

Clarke, Jordan, Penaud, Kolbe, James Lowe, Arendse, Ioane (he's not a center), Capuozzo, Van Der Merwe, Bofelli.

Reports of the demise of the NPC may have been premature.

Big feels for JGB, to win a game like this after the year he had. 100 games, and it's a great way to put a great finish on a pretty shit year after the loss of Connor.

Real lump in the throat time.

Looking forward to seeing Love and Lakai get their caps. That front row though. Might get signed by a sumo dojo!

The sheer ego driven hubris of that man.

As soon as these issues became apparent, he should have stood down.

No wonder he was so dependant on the TMO in the final!
