Re: Suspicion still exists wrong man was given All Black rol
NZRU old men’s club at its worst. The most positive spin I can think of is that Foster was appointed with one eye firmly on a similar decision several years ago, with Deans coaching the seemingly invincible Crusaders and Henry coming unstuck in the RWC. Problem is, Robertson has every appearance of ...

Re: NZ Politics Thread
A statisticians take on the possibility of a rogue poll. Lots of explaining. People choosing to just write it off should probably read it though.

Re: Trans-Tasman comp to replace Super Rugby in 2021
What does local even mean? There is minimal loyalty in NZ between where a player comes from, plays provincially, and plays super rugby. Not sure about aus but suspect it’s the same.

I think they should limit it. I would want Australian teams to be dominated by Australians. But I think the current approach has to go. I think there is enough quality in both nations for ten teams.

Re: Trans-Tasman comp to replace Super Rugby in 2021
There are plenty of competitions around the world that involve multiple nations. None of them have the eligibility rules we do, none of them have a fixation with playing for your home nation. All of them are better competitions than super rugby.
But sure, it’s a stupid idea.
