FFS. He's dead..........gone. Get on with your lives & let's dump this boring f**king subject once & for all. This comment is all good and well in a bubble, but we're not in a bubble, he's their martyr, they'll never dump it, so the narrative needs to be pushed back on. And you fvcking clicked on t...

Is she at risk if the All Blacks lose? Asking for a friend. Barnes was in NZ reffing the year after he shafted us, it's not like a Bryce Lawerance situation where you Saffas death threated him out of the game. She'll be fine. https://www.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12321/13061942/rugby-world-cup...

Well done Otago, great win over Of Plenty.

I'm not sure we can beat the Evil Empire in Chch but a Otago v Bay final, even if it's in Dunedin, would be awesome.

I expect to see Randell and Kronfled do a Read and attend the game decked out in Magpies colours too.

:lol: You guys are so sweet. Murdoch won ffs. We can give credit to Murdoch for being on the right side of history for once in his life. :lol: And Hobbs was an important factor in him succeeding in that endeavour despite your attempts to downplay his role. A kiwi told me that SR wasn’t the outcome ...

Ah that sucks for you both, all the best Canz and Booji.

NRL feeling the heat... NRL players and accredited agents face a 10-year ban from the competition if they enter negotiations with Rugby 360. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-announces-10-year-ban-for-players-and-agents-who-negotiate-with-r360-20251015-p5n2rq.html https://www.nrl.com/news/202...

Although the impact of this post is reduced by the fact that the softest player in NZ rugby injury wise is Blackadder.

See State of Origin might be played in NZ in 2027 so hopefully they start taking up NRL NZ2. I don't give a fvck about Origin, but this match seems to be putting a bit of pressure on Oz to change the eligibility rules to allow NZers and Poms (who are the only two nations whose players aren't allowe...

It is well settled history now that Francois Pienaar got cold feet because the All Blacks were pulling out.

Part of it for me is the relative diversity in the play. You still seem to get teams playing at least a similar style to that which they always have. In supporting the steamers I must accept that rip shit and bust is just part of the DNA, just as Canterbury supporters must accept that bruising bori...

We already saved it by giving you lot some of our broadcasting cash when we couldn't afford it. Now that you lot are so flush with cash that you're buying back players from the NRL, what are you going to do to save it?

I see Harry Inch and Saumaki Saumaki from last years NZ Schools team are signing for NRL clubs.

I question your whole list considering the order you have these two in. Albany is in the middle of nowhere, Waikato Stadium is an easy walk from the city with a bunch of bars and restaurants.

My role is AI Solution Architect, so I guess know a couple of things.. How can we trust you? You're part of the hype. ;) How far away are we from AI replacing AI Solution Architects?

Been a while since I've watched one of these, the YT algorithm would rather repeatedly serve me up AI slop, podcast dudes, or right wing B/S I accidentally watched too long while trying to figure out what I was watching.

Weird how overseas Ardie is almost an autopick in these teams yet us NZers find faults in his game and genuinely wonder if we'll be better off without him starting.

Whether Sydney is good or not depends on SFS versus Homebush. Homebush is dire for any forn of enjoyment. I've been to supe or test at Parra, Leichardt and Brooky, they are all good but SFS is clear winner. SCG is such a shit stadium for rugby you don't feel like drinking afterwards. 100% agree wit...
