Congratulations to the Black Ferns Sevens and All Black Sevens. Outstanding results.

Tussock

RIP. A true kiwi legend.

Tussock

Congrats Bokkies!!

Tussock

Ok, i'll put my hand up and apologise to the All Black coaches... they obviously have a well defined plan going into the RWC... and I'll try and restrain myself until the RWC.

Congratulations All Blacks!! Some silly play but held their composure.

Seem's a little bit panicky by Hansen... hope to be proven wrong. I would have moved Smith back to fullback, given Ioane another run in front of his home crowd, B Barrett to the bench. SBW... I'm not the biggest fan but hopefully he can strengthen the defense and distribute to his outside backs... ...

That’s not his style. He’d commend the Wallabies first and foremost.

Still be disappointed in so many missed tackles.

Lochore crying in his grave over that performance.

Congrats Aus (and French ref).

All Blacks exposed with a man down.

Fück off. Blame Barret not the ref. If a shoulder charge to the exposed head isn't red wtf is?

Ruined the game but clear red.

Yellow for sure... but red ridiculous!

Tussock

Congrats Aus (and French ref).

Tussock

Rubbish red.. possibly yellow... but tiddlywinks really. French are soft.

Tussock

Great player and captain. RIP

Tussock

SBW pedestrian for most parts... threw a good pass for the try but poor hands, well covered and too high going into tackles. Moody & Franks disappointing... lost it?? Hopefully not. Taylor play didn't go his way and shown up by Coles but that was how the game turned. Mo'unga thought he was better in...

New post just up on young and old Alsace wines Thanks frankster, another superb article. Domaine Marcel Deiss is probably the top producer that I've had the opportunity to visit and sample their wares. I haven't yet had the chance to visit their vineyards, though I did try a dozen or so of their wi...

Keep the 15 teams but do away with the skewed conference system and flawed finals placings. Play each once and top 8 go through based on merit and quarter finals go to top 4. It's what got me excited about soup rugby (being an NPC & club rugby fan). I know it wont suit everyone in terms of travel an...

Easy to look good behind that Rolls Royce pack. Nonsense, the pack was not much more than ordinary for the vast majority of the season. The backs did all the damage to other teams, those that don't make the AB cut this year would walk into almost every other team in the world, absolute quality. Hav...

Have to agree. SBW needs to be playing regularly... which he hasn't done for what over 2 years... constantly broken.

Tussock

He's definitely made the step up. I'd get him training with the AB's.

How's Marty McKenzie doing? Thought he's been solid.

Tussock

I'll be glad to see the back of the conference system and teams qualifying for the finals based on merit not because their country needs a rep (hopefully). Would they consider a promotion/relegation system and have a second tier comp? Force, Sunwolves, 2 SA teams (acknowledging 2 teams in NH comp), ...

Tussock

A name change wouldn't worry me. But I do get annoyed by people taking offense at things just for the sake of it. Think about this. A good proportion of Friday's victims chose to move to a city called Christchurch whose most prominent sports team is called The Crusaders. Some of them were probably ...

Thoughts are with families and people of Chch.

Ben Smith needs a break. We play him every test. Don't forget that he had a decent sabbatical at the start of the year. That was my thinking too. Smith doesn't need the game-time, and Italy doesn't demand his selection. I don't see the need for him to play. Probably right but I just enjoy watching ...

I'd like to see B. Smith return to fullback (where he get's more ball and is our best 15), Naholo at 14, Mo'unga to start and either Dmac or BB on the bench.

Tussock

Thanks all, hadn't heard about this film but have got tickets for tomorrow night.

Maybe we can chain it to the Bledisloe? We never seem to lose that....

Maybe they could use the jersey tracking device to ensure they can locate it.

Tussock

I usually find lost things have fallen down behind drawers. Maybe they need to look there.

Tussock

Hope he makes a full recovery.

Ardie to string get starts... Wallabies and end of year.

Tough on ALB whom I thought has been playing well. Starting SBW ahead of Crotty is interesting but Crotty hasn't looked 100% the last couple of games... hope he isn't used as a battering ram when he gets on... definitely not his game. Good to see Mo'unga getting more game time as he deserves it. Res...
