Right, I'm calling it now, here's how the game's gonna go. We're gonna win the toss. The pitch is green as f*ck. Australia are 65/4 at lunch with Khawaja 32* and Marsh 4*. We all get our hopes up for a second. Then the pitch flattens out,both in batters score tons, and Australia end the day 290/6. ...

super Rugby has become a joke, it really has. I blame Australia mostly. They have run their rugby over there so poorly and have pretty much given up all the ground they gained in the 90s and 00s. In fact, they've gone backwards. So now tiny NZ is left alone trying to prop up super rugby by itself a...

I would say the majority of breaking news stories come from reddit. Hence R/NZ cheekily titles their page "Tomorrows headlines today"

Value is in Perez there. Bad accident early on for Max and Perez walks it.

Thats the overall championship, not Bahrain.

Even if Max missed 30% of the races through injury, he still wins the overall again IMHO

If your meaning in NZ then thats not entirely true. Woolworths (Australian) has around 35% of the market. Foodstuffs (NZ owned and operated) has around 55%

Be good to see them back, in that article I had no idea the Brumbies financials are in strife as well?

Glad the bookies think it will be a close competition this year..

Good bye TV 3 news hub . The minister isn’t interested in saving it either, perhaps understandably . Lets keep in mind the following "The company has yet to release its 2023 financial results but Kyne confirmed its position - it lost $35 million in 2022 and $21m in 2021 - had not improved." I think...

You might be on to something there Ted. Inner city appartments in Christchurch have had no trouble being moved regardless of the price. The problem is their price actually, it's nothing 'affordable'. But if we can get a chunk of the population moved inwards it'll help with a bunch of issues. Yea $5...

Posting here for interests sake. Now crowd numbers are being published for most games.. Crowd numbers for Round 1 Chiefs v Crusaders 16,119 Rebels v Brumbies 4,000 (estimated by media, no official numbers published that I can see) Force v Hurricanes 7,855 Blues v Fiji Drua 15,000 (estimated by presa...

However, I'll take any suggestions for top quality pies available in Christchurch?

Defensive much? Just pointing out it’s good crowd numbers are seemingly allowed to be posted by media.

JPNZ

Was out for a glorious steak dinner in the city and missed the game. Predictable result which I called earlier.

The real news is it looks like NZR has finally let the media report on crowd numbers again. Newsflash super rugby is dead..

50% full at 16,119 tonight

Force to push the canes close at home. Going to be rather warm too

Better get in fast. As unheard of as it is here, the tests are selling out.

Friday & Saturday are sold out at Hagley from memory. That's what happens when its the only game of the tour in the South Island.

Was subscribed to a pie subscription service operating from out of Invercargill, their pies are incredible, and cost no more than $6.50, including postage. My pie shop across the road in Welly, Aro Bake, was even less, I've yet to encounter these expensive pies. Sounds like Fat bastard pies, think ...

JPNZ

Where in NZ are people voluntarily spending more than $8 on a pie? Couple of spots in Christchurch I know have pies around $9 to $9.50. We are talking some of the best steak and cheese Ive ever eaten though. Fillet steak and vintage chedder :thumbup: 90% of the bakeries in Christchurch are $7 to $7...

I’m guessing he will pick up a Vice Chancellor role somewhere in the NZ system.

Good guess. Confirmed vice chancellor at Otago university.

Been a hot month in Perth, expecting 37c high on Friday so I guess the game maybe played in quarters?

Anyone ever come across a dedicated App for Super rugby? Ive only ever used Union Live which isnt that good. And why inst there?

Phil Waugh talking tough?

If there was any year than this is the year, rebuilding team and all. Hope he comes back fully fit for the AB's

Hoping he gets some steady game time but Noah Hotham at the Crusaders will be an All Black.

Highlanders looked the form team of the NZ teams in preseason. I know it doesn't count for much but at home under the roof they will win this 14+

Both went 1 win, 2 losses in preseason. This match odds are Chiefs $1.60 v Crusaders $2.45

I'd expect the Chiefs to take it easily at home.

Well looks like the Rebels aren't the only SR team in financial strife..

CBHS did, unsure on currently. I believe a couple of public high schools do as well Burnside & Cashmere possibly?

I was dumbfounded however that (if it were true) the NZ education levels were so far behind an internationally recognised educational standard. The dean at a local Christchurch private school said "NCEA is for the students with absolutely no hope of passing cambridge". Which pretty much sums it up.

JPNZ

I'd point to family and cultural values as being predictors of success in education. The expectations placed on students in some cultures, supported by parents who take an active role, either directly or through the use of External Learning options such as Tutors or Net Based Tutors does have a hug...
