Re: Trans-Tasman comp to replace Super Rugby in 2021

There are bench players in New Zealand who could easily start for other teams. Making Aussie an opportunity for development for these players is win win.

Re: Trans-Tasman comp to replace Super Rugby in 2021

Nah, NZ Rugby aren't going to change that eligibility rule unless they're completely forced to. And to be honest, they shouldn't - as soon as a player signs with another team in another country NZ Rugby loses a tremendous amount of control over things like injury management and availability, not to...

Re: Crusaders vs Hurricanes: MATCH THREAD: Sat 25th July

I actually thought there was some possible shepherding at the end With the Reece try, but the defender possibly overcommitted on the player without the ball. This is when mounga raced into a gap. There was definite contact there though.

Re: Super Rugby Rd 7. Blues Vs Chiefs

I'm struggling to understand why Macdonald would drop Black for BB. BB has been playing plenty of minutes at 10 anyway, and there is no doubt that Black has been the better performed 1st five. Didn't Black pick up a knock last week? Maybe giving him a breather? Neither of those are plausible option...

Peters is from national, Jones is from labour. Hardly conclusive. A huge difference is Peters is heavily anti immigration and national pretty much propped up the economy on immigration.
