English guy from work is staggering into Dunners with ~50 other Englishmen. The curry houses business will be a boomin.

No glorious 6'0 95kg killdozer driving crash ball first-five, 6'2 110kg crash ball left winger, nor 6'4 101 kg crash ball fullback. smh at these soft South Islanders and their airy fairy rugby.

Me, a Super Rugby winning Auckland Blues killdozer intellectual seeing this backline: what is this, a backline for a 5th grade game? The absolute state of it.

Vikena and Tangitau have moved to the Highlanders on two year contracts. Was worried Vikena might leave when Eklund was consistently being picked ahead of him at the back end of the regular season. He's a good, physical player, and only 23. Hopefully the Blues can get him back after this brief...

So the Top 14 uses a 12 man interchange system instead of the normal 8 man bench? lmao how long until they end up with NFL style situational substitutions at each set piece?

Fuck me he is painfully unfunny and tries so hard. I just cannot get through more than a few minutes of that nonsense regardless of how good his analysis allegedly may be.

Close affair with the ABs noodling away on the back of Jordie Barrett kicking a 60m scrum penalty or something idk. The apocalypse cometh. I forgot that wasn't an EOYT situation.

Seems a bit pointless as he's A) retiring at the end of the season; and B) there are more than capable replacements. As a bonus, those replacements don't have a history of throwing out regular high shots.

Coattails is an absolute wounder and a half. Who is the last ABs coach to whinge as much as him? Mains? Though he may be more the conspiratorial ranting genre.

Numia was injured at the end of the regular season. He's a loosehead prop so might've been close to edging Ofa for the third spot.

The rodents are vacating the watertight deficient vessel.

Not a bad result given the two home tests were at Mt Smart (25k capacity) and Dunedin (31k). I believe it's also approaching time to properly rinse those cnts at Sky for another broadcast deal. Hopefully the last we'll have with them.

> Melbourne Rebels Players - where are they going? > Vaiolini Ekuasi

Credentials: Plays for the Crusaders. See also: George Bell, Ethan Blackadder.

lmao Blues crush everyone in the forwards and get literally nothing for it.

Gonna throw out some last minute hot takes. Blackadder does a lot but not always that effectively. Case in point, that stat from 2022, or whenever it was, when he was amongst the most tackles attempted (or maybe even completed) but near the bottom for dominant tackles. There's also the fact...

Liam Napier has this in the Hurld, which is closer to what I'd expect. Predicted All Blacks squad: Props: Tyrel Lomax, Ethan de Groot, Ofa Tu’ungafasi, Fletcher Newell, Tamaiti Williams, George Bower Hookers: Codie Taylor, Asafo Aumua, Ricky Riccitelli (uncapped) Locks: Scott Barrett, Tupou...

Rumoured by whom? Cane has retired from test rugby which makes the source sus, imo, as that's a pretty glaring error. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/516677/all-black-captain-sam-cane-announces-retirement-from-international-rugby

2024 Segner definitely wouldn't fit the role imo; he's better suited to openside. He could bulk up over the off-season so we'll wait and see. I do remain skeptical atm. EDIT: Apparently James Thompson is primarily a flanker. He was solid filling in at lock at the back end of the season so could...
