I would have thought that any evidence of concussion would be sufficient to trigger an assessment in the interests of the player. It's not a punishment, it's a precaution. Yea corporations have form for implementing rules that are “claimed “to be about safety when in fact its complete liability mit...

.... and yet ,we still never see the victim of the foul play removed from play for mandatory HIA. You often see them removed. Why should removal be mandatory? That's penalising the victim.

OK, so what I am getting from the responses is that a new coach will get the All Blacks back to their almost invincible best. The last few years of poor results is all down to the coaching and nothing to do with the match winning talent that is available? I sure hope you kants are wrong, because I ...

Just looking at results from the last 3 years. Admittedly Covid was the early part, but the AB's won 10 in a row. Then starting October 2021 the run ended with a loss to SA. Since that loss the following picture emerges: PLayed 31 Won:20 Lost:10 Drew:1 Of that 20 wins there are a few erm anomalies:...

Decline of attacking rugby. Retards that don’t take the points when on offer were punished so hard this World Cup. The formula for winning knock out rugby competitions has been fully set in stone now: Monster pack, great pressure kicker, top tier defence, great positional kicking and overall simple...

Timing of Eddies announcement. One of the English pundits saying Eddie timed it for today to steal a bit of limelight away from the RWC final. An accurate observation I think. I thought so as well, In fact, I was grateful he did, because it was then I started laughing, which was the beginning of th...

So a swinging coach would be alright by you? Please tell me you are taking the piss? Have you ever been outside? It’d shock you what happens in business and the military.

This is not unsurprising. :(( Morons and arseholes and totally not surprised. Yeah, and we knew it would happen regardless of who won.

As long as both of them were single, then having a relationship with a staff member is not the worst thing in the world. It's better than employing a well known bully like Jones.

I was just thinking an interim would ease time pressure. Clayton McMillan is a very good coach. He turned a team that went winless under Gatland into a title contender. I'm not sure a foreign coach is the best choice though. Aussie Rugby fans are harsh on foreign coaches. I dont understand what an ...

He’s signed for 3 years

He’s an excellent sup 10 however he is not the test 10 NZ needs if we want to have any hope of returning to dominant form.

Congrats Ardie & well deserved. He is a class act and one of the best ambassadors of the sport. He's a phenomenal player but is not a class act or a great ambassador. I agree, fantastic player... never seems to have a bad game... but being an Andrew Tate fan is a disappointment.. I think people nee...

It's not a stretch, I know for a fact that that is how WR intended it to be. The TMO gave a live referral regarding the missed knock on, Barnes then has the option to review or not. If that's how WR intended it to be, then the protocols should have been written to reflect that. They did not. Are yo...

Harveys

Yes, that was incorrect officiating. But honestly, I'd prefer the right call to be made (which was a knock-on/penalty ABs) than the 'technically correct' call. And we still scored the try from that phase of play eventually and had more than enough other opportunities to win. We've no one but oursel...

Sad news. He had serious, persistent, long-term struggles with maintaining his sobriety. He was associated with a prominent personality (in recovery circles) and it was well known that he battled this issue with varying success over the years.

Congrats Ardie, well deserved, Carried more than his fair share of the team this year, a true leader of men and a humble, grounded person. My appreciation of him as a player and a person has grown immensely this year. I even find it hard to begrudge his giving thanks in post-match interviews. https:...

The humanitarian side of me hopes that his friends and family rally around him. The rugby side of me is so disappointed in his ability to keep his tackles down.

Harveys

I think there is a few issues compounding here, but one of the biggest ones for me was that it never felt like the two best teams in the World were going at today. That detracts from the spectacle of it. Agree, the intensity and occasion felt missing to me. It felt like a below average NZ Bok test.

Jordan also missed the most tackles in the team, lost the ball twice when tackled and made 13m. He was having a mare and was mentally gone. Don't let your hatred for BB blind you to that. Andy Goode will be smug ion his podcast. He predicted Jordan will be found out in the final. Essentially callin...

First of all this 'youth policy's stuff is just an excuse. It's not like he picked a lots of young players who were in form.

We haven’t played them in 10 months. You’ve had two games since July FFS. I’ll watch it because it’s the final but it’s not that interesting a match up in rugby terms. It was February.

From 95 onwards, every WC final has featured at least one previous winner. 07, 15, and 19 were all contested between two previous winners.
