Re: Super Rugby Rd 7 - Chiefs Vs Moana Pasifika
How good was Narawa! It just looked effortless. It's also clear that the Chiefs are a completely different team when McKenzie is in the side. Having said that the hit he got from the Moana Centre was one for the highlights reel, and if that isn't the number 1 'Smashed 'em Bro' segment on The Crowd ...

Re: Force vs Harry Plummer - Match Thread
Really good by the Blues. Hard to think of a Blues player who had a poor game.
Attitude was good, focused on a game plan and discipline was generally good.

Nah, he will come back. They said the same about Michael Jones when his knee went, but he came back from an arguably worse injury. He needed a full reconstruction.

Re: SRP Rd 6 - Reds v Brumbies
Just seen the game.
That was a pretty decent watch, very fast and very physical
Lynagh looking better and better with every game.
Bit unlucky Reds but Brumbies really hung in there and scrapped the win.
Very good game from BOK as well.

Re: LRZ
Just to put NFL players’ athleticism into context, LRZ’s pro day results would put him 16th fastest in this year’s rookie class at the combine for the 40yard dash, and his vertical jump would be dead last. That’s just for WRs. And he’s probably the most explosive and certainly the fastest player ru...

Re: SRP Round 6: Crusaders vs Chiefs
Thought McLeod at 12 really made a difference. Strong carrying, big defence and very active.
Amua, just not working for me. Some good carries that attracted defenders but that's about it.
Last year I thought his form would bring him into AB reckoning but this year he has been poor.
