Saffabanana stop it.

4 players backing up from the HK7s. So that likely means De Goede, Bermudez, Poulin and Buisa will no longer take part in the remainder of the SVNS Circuit.

The real stupidity of Eden Park 2.0 is that it’ll cost ratepayers / taxpayers hundreds of millions more than the far smaller contribution the private-consortium led bids would’ve required. In other words, nothing will happen at Eden Park because nobody is going to put a billion towards a stadium, es...

Never going to get a separate stadium up there in my lifetime. We have 2 generations of infrastructure maintenance to catch up on first. I am fine with that - we do NOT need a national stadium. Happy for Eden Park to be stuck in the Burbs and out of sight as I will probably never go back there anyw...

Sititi, now there’s another famous rugby surname. Terrible haircut though.

Eden Park is about to get the nod on Monday. Can’t say I’m surprised but there have always been clueless, visionless Eden park fanboys in Council. https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/heather-du-plessis-allan-drive/audio/trevor-mckewen-nz-herald-sports-columnist-on-the-battle-of-aucklands-stadiums/?u...

:shock: Mr Grin, what has brought you out of the woods? I missed some of you lot. The last couple of years haven't been that great for me really, the wife decided 30 years married was quite enough for her and left, then my pug Lemmy got run over and as these things tend to happen in threes, a coupl...

NZ Schoolgirls rugby section added to OP under the FPC section. Looking to gradually build up the video library for Schoolgirls first XV in the coming weeks (if I remember & if there’s anything useful to add). Keep an eye out for Maia Davis in the years to come. Halfback for Manukura, and already in...

With a name like Tuifua, his heritage is clearly from Wallis (Uvea) and Futuna, which is turning into a French rugby factory but was a Tongan colony 1000 years ago. Tonga should poach him using the (great x30) grandparent rule.

Next Steps: - 30 Woman Squad named next week for Pac-4 - Mostly be made up of players from the BF contracted squad but players from outside the contracted squad could also be selected - Negotiations with the 41st & final contracted player (Krystal Murray) remains ongoing.

Thanks Auck. What’s the general view of Aupiki? Success? Relative success? Has it flagged certain areas the black ferns were weak which can be improved? The players want it to expand to a full-time competition with their extra teams or longer season. At the moment, it’s a semi-professional competit...

Hope for McGoverne yet. Good to see Anderson get a half chance. Pip Love is unfit and really is off the pace. Cottrell still misses out - madness. Phillipa Love, Liv McGoverne and Mia Anderson will join the Black Ferns squad on interim contracts as injury cover. One additional full-time contract is ...

Clearly pre-2008 that photo then. Similar to Uluṟu I guess. I climbed it back in the ‘90s on a rugby tour. However, I heard it’s been stopped for quite a few years now.

Biggest Shock: Krysten Cottrell (Blues) was the best first five in Aupiki yet misses out. Yes she may be a bit old but ffs she was in form. Itunu is old too but she got the nod. Yet we have King (potential but not there yet) and Demant (she’s really a second-five & isn’t a goal kicker). Really happ...

In 1991 there was a free and fair election held in which 93% percent of the population voted in favour of independence. Every single region voted in favour of it. I'm pro-Ukraine and I still find using the 1991 election as an indicator of people's views in 2024 to be a flawed argument. A lot of tim...

Just saw the England-Ireland score. Jesus what happened there? I thought Ireland were on the improve? I recommend watching it in the BBC iPlayer Auck. Possibly the best performance by a women’s rugby team I’ve personally (doesn’t mean it’s fact) watched. Mitchell has got us in a completely differen...

Early Thursday morning, I had a mild heart attack, no massive pains or sweating or the like, but a general feeling of my chest being squeezed. So I drove to the ER and was shuffled straight into the operating room for a 2.5 hour op using catheter. They inserted three stents and I am able to sit up ...

NZ crowds aren’t too much different from normal club ground crowds in UK / France. The difference is their club stadiums are much smaller so it looks like a big crowd whereas NZ stadiums were made for test rugby and from a time when the NPC and even big provincial club finals regularly got the big c...

Disappointing loss obviously. Not surprising to see fans of other teams piling in on us and Rob Penney. F**k you guys and the nothing-teams you support. I have faith that we have the players and staff to turn it around once we navigate through this unprecedented injury crisis. We've also copped two...
