So just to recap. The moment Scotty and his boys start copping scrutiny about the vaccine rollout the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation suddenly change their position on Astra Zeneca without any substantially different facts from what has been known for a month or so now. How indep...

One could only assume that the coach has told Savea that this is his last chance.

He must be on 7 years of last chances by now.

It's interesting that in the article that I posted a link to above, it says that; In the backs, Salesi Rayasi was dropped from the 23 for what Holland described as his work off the ball in Auckland, with Julian Savea and Wes Goosen reuniting.

A Reuben Love summary please Canes fans? With a surname like that I'm tempted to make a prison-relationship metaphor about how his debut might go, but I get in trouble for making such comments these days.

Crusaders after a shaming is something to be weary of. They hardly ever lose 2 in a row. This could get ugly That's if the Canes even turn up, literally not figuratively.

I don't think he's "delivered" as much recently as he did when he first turned up at the Crusaders.

I'm double crushed, I was assuming we'd have one of Weber or Fakatava available for the Magpies this year. Pretty much lost any chance of that now.

He looks like the kind of bloke that sleeps until 4pm and spends the night in a Toyota Supra dropping baggies around town. And Matt Toomua looks like he's an actual zombie.

Uncle FB - that does bring back childhood memories. Unfortunately it was a rare trip to Ocean Beach - we used to camp at Clifton ...

Risky words from Toutai Kefu. Might have been better off telling Folau that in private if he’s that keen to get him to play for Tonga.

@towny Perhaps I didn’t clarify my question We lose a shit-ton of players to private school rugby at that age.

My outrageous claim for the day: NZ and Australia won't win a rugby world cup ever again. I have wondered if NZ will be to rugby what Uruguay was to soccer.

Btw Joe Wheeler was the worst Rugby commentator in NZ before he outed himself as a casual racist. Sky Sport have been gifted a golden opportunity to sack him, and they should do so immediately.
