Re: Moana P v. Rebels
Most embarrassing crowd I've seen in Super Rugby. Would be less than 1K. It was a silly place and time to play it. Should have played it in Napier (although not all of our MP players seem to be in favour this year), would have got a much better crowd, and not played it directly against the Warriors...

Re: Crusaders vs Drua Match Thread
Have the Crusaders ever had a more ordinary loose forward trio? Boy they are struggling, Chirstie is trying, but Grace and Gardiner??? Oddly enough both of those two have been anointed the great white (well Maori in Grace's case) hypes in the past. Gardiner had that one game for NZ A where he was a...

Need to get bums on seats. Hard to do when no one knows who these guys are.

Re: Jaguares back in Super Rugby
I think a better solution would be to scrap Super Rugby and instead elevate the NPC - have the 4 or 5 Oz teams join that. Not a bad solution. It would definitely dilute the talent between the 14 NZ teams. But 14 NZ teams vs 4 - 5 australian teams is hardly fair from an outside perspective. If all c...
