NZ 19-12 FIJI - Qtr-final

Justice for the failure of the ref to yellow card the Fijian high tackle. Nga Shiu has had an excellent return to the colours this weekend after a long injury lay-off.

With the Blues 49-21 defeat of the Canes, that means it’s a HOME FINAL for the Blues next week

That’s very sad news for him if true. He’s the best player on circuit this year

Good to see the blues dispatching lesser teams like they should. A few years ago, they would’ve struggled past the Force with a limp performance

Me too. Looks like he's lost some weight.

Certainly did. I understand he was training with some NRL side for part of his pre-season.

If the Rebels fold and all their players go to the Force, the problem of the Force will be solved

I understand both sides But it's not only the sport of a couple of PUs. They represent their unions - it is their sport there and it’s their duty to do the best for their members. They aren’t a business - they’re a sport - and they don’t have the same interests as the top 0.1% sport and their PE ba...

Why didn’t DMac play last week? Was he injured?

Big blow. I was looking forward to seeing him in black this year

The NZRU is run by the Canterbury Mafia and in their bid to hamstring Auckland they split it three ways. It's a disgrace. I can deal with Counties, but North Harbour is a traitor union and a symbol of everything that is wrong with the world today. Their fields need to be salted and their men driven...

It's not truly united without South Auckland Counties and North Auckland.

That should be on the agenda too!

Nice April fools but I think you'll find no one gives a sh i t anyway :twisted: :lol: You're right, I don't give a shit but I did think it was a nice effort of a April fools joke. Had me sucked in. Glad I didn’t comment on the OP. :blush: Don’t listen to Wignu. Auckland will be united one day!

They were always going to turn the corner. I’m just happy the Blues got them before they did.

I hear the proposal has legs

Auckman

WELLINGTON – New Zealand Rugby proposed a “once-in-a-generation” overhaul of the National Provincial Championship that includes a little known proposal to amalgamate North Harbour rugby back with the Auckland rugby union in a bid to save costs. However, it sets the stage for a power struggle at the...

I thought the Blues 12 looked pretty good.

On the other hand, it was probably the best nz home crowd for MP in two years.

Pro Rugby is dying around the world because it's run by morons. Yep as I keep saying PP, seems all the smart ones are too busy on forums? Both the NRL and the AFL are both bigger than Top 14 and D2 combined. Combined those are the two biggest rugby comps in the world. The NRL and AFL both have fami...

I think financially, MP are fine (for now). They get a share of the broadcast deal that all Super Rugby teams get and they’re sponsored by Sky TV and the Samoan Tourism Authority. I hear salaries are probably lower than other teams (unlike the Rebels) and they’re not tied to one expensive venue like...

Where's the crowd? Jesus what is going on with rugby It was an MP home game today. It would’ve been an extra 5k I think if it was a Blues home game. Did they execute any Blues fans trying to enter the stadium? :lol: Not sure what the arrangements are but the blues members who sit in the south stand...

I wondered what happened to Dhys Faleafaga, but looks like she's back with the 7s? Reckon Cottrell will get a call-up? (Not sure if she got much time in the WXV, if at all?)

Blues 40-26 Chiefs Manawa Ha! We’re not afraid of your first team chiefsaders! Even when they brought on their first choice players, the blues still held their own. Absolutely brilliant win from the good guys with hard direct running and brutal line speed on defence. Top quality top of the table rug...

Auckman

Very good win by the Blues. MP really did throw everything at the blues with several 10+ phase attacks but the blues defence was just too good. Best I’ve seen it in a while. Forbes is really impressive off the bench. MP’s malfunctioning lineout didn’t help their cause.

Recency bias will infect this thread

But Aaron smith is my first rank because he had the fastest, longest and most accurate pass of any 9 in rugby history imho. That’s the most important attribute of a halfback.
