I enjoyed the sped up game, though I wall say the 30 seconds to set scrum is a bit quick, and one that will perhaps get taken out a little longer. I counted a couple went a bit longer to set last night with no apperent stuffing around.

Was always a centre that they played at wing to get used to test rugby though.

Ok kick off night for NPC. Tonight's games the Naki vs Counties (if my Dad was still alive we would be supporting opposite teans) And later on the Jafas play Wellington Lions. My life is now full again!!!

I can see if there is a bit of a gap DMac coming off and BB into 10. They have to give someone else a run there at some stage.

Like Strewth ,I not sure where this should go. I have been reading NZ Rugby News mag on lead up to NPC, and was more than concerned to read of at least 6-7 players that have made themselves unavailable for Tonga and Samoa for extended Pacific Championship, and are playing for provinces. Not sure...

I think we might find there a few bussiness putting in a few $s WOB. There are a few with a couple of bob that seems have good relationship with Iveman and BeeGee.

Kick off Friday night. Yehaa, my favourite rugby comp!!! Only trouble is the Naki at home, and probably going to be a stretch going up. Usually go with Mrs Dan, but she chose to fall over while tramping up the mountain last week and broke ankle. So she layed up and requiring me to play nurse ...

Explains it Strewth, I was wondering why when mate said it a 2.30 kick off. Suits me over here obviously 4.30 NZT and lead so no late night after AB/Puma's test. I am just slightly disappointed as I thought they were doing ot for my convenience, but seems I not as important as I thought...

Lot of confusing things in that write up amonst them he though with Plumtree and Moaar in group they had no international experience. Lucky he not commenting on present group.

I guessing when he did knee in the Pommy test, he would of thought, that's it time to cash in, and good on him.

@KiwiM , I actually kind of thought that Blues were one of successful teams of using the hybrid type loosies. I think of Papali'i as almost a 6.5 hrbrid type player that I talking about. Even Saffas are going with a whole new style of loosie, no real over the ball specialist, a skilled running...

I actually wonder if we are seeing the evolution of loosies is all. The classic 7 of yesteryear is basically gone (terrier whos main job is ti win turnovers), and I also think the 6 these days has developed past being basically a hard hitting close in ball carrier. Same as 8 , I actually think...

AB squad for RC Hookers: Asafo Aumua, Codie Taylor, George Bell. Props: Ethan De Groot, Tyrel Lomax, Fletcher Newell, Pasilio Tosi, Ofa Tu’ungafasi, Tamaiti Williams. Locks: Scott Barrett, Tupou Vaa’i, Patrick Tuipulotu, Sam Darry. Loose Forwards: Ethan Blackadder, Sam Cane, Samipeni Finau...

I can save them some money on getting report printed. They lost too many games and weren't very bloody good!! There were 8 teams better and 3 worse! Not sure if there is something wrong with a lot of these franchises etc if they need reports to see the obvious! Who do I send bill too?

Can see no reasonable person argiung with that reasoning either mate!!:D

Other clubs have been punished for similar haven't they?

From afar this is smacking on rules for some and not others? I may have read things wrong, but it's what it seems.

Understand your point Tom, but unfortunately reality kicks in mate, in another thread about Tonga, there is talk of about $100,000 to broadcast game from there. And imagine doing it from Samoa would be similar, so unless like the game played in Tonga etc this season someone is prepared to...

Think everyone agrees with that Tom, just getting someone to pay costs is the problem? Was interested to see tv news here tonight, and how excited MP (Moana Pasifika) are in getting Ardie, with the big hope it will lead to more high profile players looking at doing it.Also obviously he a name that kids etc...

Just meant you always get good crowd at Suncorp, lol the question mark was meant to be a fullstop. The question was if others thought it would work as well with other venues in Aus having touring teams.
