Yea I’m not dwelling on it too much. Things started declining from around 2009. Sadly as referenced in the report I posted kids are now being taught by younger teachers who themselves never got a decent education. Thus the cycle repeats.. it’s sad really what used to be world class has been eroded t...

If somebody is aware of a credible evaluation(s) that possibly explains why the literacy and numeracy rates of NZ students has been declining (as keeps being reported), can they please post a link. Some pretty good reading here. It is an opinion piece granted. If you want further evaluation you can...

Heard of Covid JPNZ? LOL. Things have been going backwards many years before covid was even known about. The state of New Zealand education There is a growing sense something is wrong with New Zealand’s education system. Level 1 National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA) results have b...

The country's tertiary education system continues to report financial stress and falling domestic enrolments. What will the Government do? No surprises when Labour lead primary and secondary education into the lowest NCEA results. It will take many years to repair the damage that was done over the ...

To be fair the OT was the best part of the game.

Sky NZ needs to work out some way of playing the Superbowl ads. They only play their ads for their own shows and it results in the same 10 ads being played 900 times each per game. I know it's called 'ad free' coverage, but Superbowl ads are a cultural 'show' in themselves and even the worst of the...

Brilliant way for playoff patty to get the TD in OT. Cash that

JPNZ

Bump for game day!

I have 2 more hours of work to do, then can head home and get the BBQ cranking. Read today that betting on the superbowl within America only is expected to surpass $23 Billion USD

That poll is fascinating. It would be good to see more data on how the numbers are flowing (I doubt any of the 4.8% leakage from the Greens went to National nor ACT so it looks like the movement is a drift of Green supporters to Labour (I assume those will issues about shoplifting or perceived anti...

Just caught the highlights. Scotland have to feel hard done by. Berry was so close to awarding a try

JPNZ

The really interesting thing is the ACT result and the fact the poll was taken over the first week of February (including waitangi)

Bristol Bears 14 - Crusaders 31

Nice to have a rare pre season win.

Thank you! It’s not being shown overseas except delayed Japanese highlights.

Bloody sad news that Halfpenny looks to miss most of the season before its even begun.. Welsh test centurion Leigh Halfpenny's future in Super Rugby Pacific is uncertain, after he suffered a serious chest injury against Munster in Ireland last Sunday morning (NZT). The Crusaders have confirmed the f...

Because I cannot be bothered to make a new topic and this is 2024 SR related... Rugby and league fans without Sky Sports subscriptions will be able to watch live Super Rugby Pacific and NRL games this season on Sky Open, formerly known as Prime TV. However, while the broadcast on Sky Open will begin...

The 3rd episode of Masters of the Air is better. Based on the Regensburg mission. Must have been terrifying for those lads. Surreal. One good thing about the series is alot of the actors look like kids, which is how it would have been obviously. Yep, really enjoyed ep3. Interested to see how it is ...

Crusaders named for Bristol Bears. The Crusaders have named their squad to take on the Bristol Bears this weekend in their last game of the Northern Tour. Willi Heinz will lead the team out at Ashton Gate Stadium where more than 20,000 spectators wait for the spectacle. Kick off is 7.30pm on Friday ...

Odds are pretty tight right now with the 49ers by 2.5 points. Might as well be even. Chiefs have hit their stride at the right time. I expect San Francisco to put up a better defensive effort after giving up so many to the Lions. Bosa will be doing his best to terrorize Mahomes. Kelce and Kittle? D...

Good hit out for first game of the season. Rivez missed 83rd minute conversion and Munster take it out 21-19.

Gavin Coombes Man of the match performance. Springer and McLeod looked best for Crusaders. 3 pushover tries to Munster and some cracking Crusaders tries. Good game all in all

JPNZ

Of particular interest will be: - The midfield combo of McLeod and Aumua is extremely exciting on paper, fascinated to see how that plays out. - Above all though, all eyes will be on young Taha Kemara. How he adjusts to the 10 shirt with the absence of Mo'unga and Burke will define our season. Look...

And do what exactly? Play state v state in an Australian comp? That may make Australian rugby stronger, but it will only make the wallabies weaker IMO.

"Boy swallows universe" is a highly regarded novel, if anybody still reads these days.

Really enjoyed this show, what an incredible story.
