Anyway as a Canes' man, I am appropiately nervous over this game. I had every intention of going down, but after just returning home after best part of a week awy at nephews furneral etc, I am stuffed and feeling every bit of my almost 70 years, and reckon Canes need to make semis so I recovered...

If the Chiefs have a banana skin team, I think they would say the Reds. Chiefs are probably favourites, but not heavy ones, as this is genuinely not a bad Reds team, well in my opinion.

Absolutely mate, why would we watch sport if we didn't dream huh?

Yep mate, was over Aus last year catching up with mates etc, couple asked me if I was regretted moving home. I just replied as I did here, loved my time over there, but NZ is where I belong end of. I have no probls with anyone deciding to live anywhere if that's what does it for them, but some...

Costs etc are basically the same in the end. I am one who tried the Aus lifestyle, but came because I prefer lifestyle in NZ, but moot point in rugby. What I meant was apart from money I doubt whether many players would see playing over there as helping them to get picked for ABs, even if the...

And there lies one of big problems BH. Money , and even in if NZR said ok ABs can play for Aus teams, who are the flush super teams in Aus that can afford them? Good players cost more money, which is the problem isn't it? I can imaine if a super team in Aus was going to somehow get an AB to go...

Yep Herbert did say he thought the Wallabies needed to be in a position that they were attractive for theses ideas. I have no opinion on that, just I do like the idea of Boks touring here and ABs to SA very much. But I was under the idea there had been arrangements made to help a bit of...

Genuine question Adam, who is NZR (and RSA) meant to look after first? But you are correct when you say they looking after NZ fans , which as a kiwi fan I think they should be! You give it away when you say it's only NZR who upsets you and there are 2 boards doing it. As I say I would rather RC...

I actually found some games were jumpy that Stan broadcast, and that was viewing it on Sky and not streming as such. The U20s game from Sunshine Coast were quite bad.

All these streaming options makes me wonder. Does anyone else find matches broadcast through streaming services a little harder to watch? I just think the picture seems a little jumpy to me.

Actually the positive is that RA can do same with Argentina etc, or get Japan to tour and keep ALL the money from tv rights can't they? Personally I am all for it, but for selfish reasons in that I want these kind of tours happening wherever possible. I thought the general feeling was more of...

Pretty confident even if Crusaders did sneak into top 8 they would get knocked out in first week anyway.

No ,and I obviously said it as a joke. But you bang on, it certainly doesn't happen often at all, and make for a better comp when it does really.

Well that was good performnce by the Clan. I will say what I said early in year, they will be a bloody good team in 2-3 years . They will get payback on their invest on young talent policy. The likes of De Groot, Bell Taylor ,Holland, Haig and Withy will give them a bloody good pack, Fakatava...

Apparently they scoed less points than the Crusaders mate. Wierd huh?? ;) :D Hey hey mate slow down, a win to Highlanders or Force (or Chiefs) can make a huge difference to top of table, Brumbies, Canes and Blues all still in with chance of being top of the table. I like most don't really like...
