Re: Blues v Crusaders @ Eden Park - Saturday
This saders team is looking like an npc squad.
Blues this year are dominating amd squeezing teams but really missing that killing punch to put them in the elite level. Could it be enough to win the comp this year?

Re: Your best ever national team by unit
It was a tough choice. If the forward are getting a roll on, definitely Gregan and Larkham. If the halves are getting shit ball, Farr Jones and Lynagh. Or if you old enough to remember them, Ken Catchpole and Phil Hawthorne. I decided to chase up ancient film / video of the the pair and found this:...

Tweak it to between the 22's, 5 metres out is just handing the ball to the attackers witn a good maul as the defenders either have to go up and lose the setup position or stay down and let the other team have 100% guaranteed possession, very unbalanced. 22 from the restart is a bit shìte, teams wil...
