Right call on Iose above. Higgins gets to start ahead of PUG which is a solid indication of just how good he is. I'm surprised he's stuck around as long as he has, he's on the wrong side of 25, played for the AB's, and yet barely features at this level, even though he's more than capable. Wouldn't ...

Decided to dwell a pause of two marching paces prior to bursting in to print. First and foremost, a cracker of a game. The score line belies the impact that defence had on this match. Both sides had to work hard to get the ball over the line. Bindi said it was a shame that one side had to win. Yeah...

Yeah, was bloody entertaining, the crowd on both side were really getting stuck in.

Press has given up on this event. RA have to have some blame here. I was there and I reckon 6-8k Not sure they will better that today unless the local Pacific community really turn up. It was just under 11k according to Twitter. Looked more like 11-12K for me. Not huge by any means, but it was the ...

Next Super team should be North Harbour / Northland based.

Chicken (or turkey), ham and leek. Secret ingredient - ginger. I'm working on a Chinese style BBQ pork pie. I need some veg because the first effort was too dense with meat. I have an idea though and then I will have the two best pies. Why? Seriously why? We have BBQ pork buns, just eat them. No ne...

Fat Bastard did one of these for their pie of the month. So good they ran it two months straight. Would like it made a regular.

How often are you getting down there? Was trying to make it a weekly thing when I last lived down south.

Leek goes good, it's an underrated vege.

Not sure what was better - Withy's break or Fakatava's outrageous backhand pass.

Love to see the Southland lads going well.

Good win by Landers, tough match, feel for MP, had all the opportunities to put this one away but couldn't quite capitalise. Crowd looked animated. Some gutsy defence in there because those Moana Pasifika boys are big and go into contact fast. Better start for the Clan than last year. Can't see MP ...

So frustrating from the Rebs, simple fundamentals just go out the door everytime they get an opportunity to score some points… fuggin hell. Yep, it's frustrating, every single opportunity they've had, they've squandered immediately with a dumb offload, or no one turning up to the ruck, or a shit pa...

Daugunu has looked good, can create from nothing, where does he rate at 13?

The Chiefs will have to play a lot better than that to win the title . Was last year their best effort ? We played crap and beat the playing thru Champs. I'll take that and we'll get better Im with you Enz, a few salty comments from Saders as usual when we beat them. :D ;) Good win from the competi...

So I see Foketi has been taken to hospital via an ambulance today after a neck injury sustained during training, that's a bugger. Here's hoping for a quick recovery.

Where in NZ are people voluntarily spending more than $8 on a pie? Glenorchy. A previously $9 Fairlie Pie is now $12. Fairlie Pies are nowhere near as good as a Fat Bastard which are $6-$6.50. I must have missed when that became the norm because all of my usual spots are reasonably priced. Tbf thou...

Beehre is listed at 1.89m on the Blues site. Small for a modern lock. I can only presume that's a typo? He's more likely 1.98m and someone got the 9 and 8 back to front. That would make more sense. Tbf, he's listed everywhere as 6'3", has to be a typo, saw a picture of him next to Suafoa and he loo...

Where in NZ are people voluntarily spending more than $8 on a pie? I was in Kaikoura over the weekend and got a steak and cheese from the Middlehurst Station Farm store in the main street.

Where in NZ are people voluntarily spending more than $8 on a pie? I remember getting a $10 pie in Auckland near Eden Park during the 2011 RWC.

I originally thought the Chiefs would take this by 13+ but the closer it gets the more I think the Saders might take it based on nothing more than my bias.

Stephenson is a tough one, on the back of his Super form last season, I was convinced he was a must in the All Blacks back three, right up till that first AB game, the Wallabies really targeted his side of the field.

On the off chance Jordan is out with a season ending surgery, would we be looking at Stevenson at fullback or is it Ruben Loves time to shine? Or perhaps we're looking at Beaudy or DMac back there? Personally, I reckon if it's not Aumua as that third hooker, it'll be Tyrone Thompson, he's got future...

Three I hope to see have a breakout year, Jack Taylor, Cam Millar, and Sean Withy. Otherwise, from that Highlanders team, I'd expect this to be Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens year.

But league and soccer aren't bigger (in a financial sense) than rugby, right? I mean, you guys aren't losing the overwhelming majority of your talent to another rival sport.
