Re: Merge the NRC and NPC... NOW.

trans-Tasman record now reading 0-15 I agree the current Supe is dead, but the plan is to play even more TT matches? Interesting, but not convinced. Don't get me wrong, Trans-Tasman matches are good, but what needs to be increased is quality of them (competitive) more than quantity. First focus sho...

The Australian game has hit rock bottom in Super Rugby, with their trans-Tasman record now reading 0-15 and their conference leaders (the Brumbies) with four fewer points than New Zealand's bottom side (the Blues), so it's no surpri...

Re: Should fine amounts be linked to salary

When I was at uni, it cost about $5 to park all day at the uni. If you didnt pay, it was a $16 fine. Typically, you would be caught once a week. Most people just didnt bother paying as the fine was cheaper than buying tickets. I think the council has cottoned on now as the fine is much higher. Hmm,...
