Loss Bleus may have a new designated Messiah in the form of former designated Messiah Carlos Spencer's son Payton.

Sorry, you're stuck with him until he departs for Japan again.

If he's off-contract, given CruSadists' current 5/8 stocks he'd at least be worth another look. Edit: what I mean is he wouldn't be the first schoolboy star who's struggled to make an immediate impression in the adult game. But if his time at the Force has made him a better player than he was...

Was it Parata who caused a bit of a kerfuffle on the forum a few years back by moving to NZ after leaving school rather than remaining in Aus? Or am I thinking of someone else? I haven't gone through all the permutations but I'd dearly love for Tasman's next Shield challenge to be here in the...

Campbell Parata is henceforth a dead set, for all time Mako legend.

Proper Shield challenge this, complete with taking the easy three with half time all but blown. Bay will surely come back & look to have the better bench but Mako are giving this a red hot go & who knows, score first after HT & the Shield may be crossing the Strait tomorrow.

Fun fact: SA have won their last three matches v AB. Longest SA winning streak v AB is four matches. In 1949.

And here it is: Will Jordan, Sevu Reece, Rieko Ioane, Jordie Barrett, Mark Tele’a, Damian McKenzie, Cortez Ratima, Ardie Savea, Sam Cane, Wallace Sititi, Tupou Vaa’i, Scott Barrett, Tyrel Lomax, Codie Taylor, Tamaiti Williams. Reserves: Asafo Aumua, Ofa Tu’ungafasi, Fletcher Newell, Sam Darry...

Marc Hinton from stuff.co.nz also reporting Beaugan to bench, Jordan to 15 & the starting & finishing 9's being swapped. All TBC at 5pm NZT.

Revenue sharing, it's called. Nor should they. Or RA, or SARU, or UAR, or...

Seems reasonable.

Been pretty crook all week so didn't get up for it & have only seen highlights but I'd be interested to know if TJP's spray at Brace was penalty-worthy. Wouldn't surprise me if it was, even for a 9 he's mouthy at the best of times. Can't believe they didn't review the Mbonambi try, looked like...

Reserves: Asafo Aumua, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Fletcher Newell, Sam...

Scary depth they're building, though, innit? I wonder if Rassie would even bother making any changes if SA lose, it's not like anyone's gonna care who won TRC 2024 come Christmas time.

Springboks: Aphelele Fassi, Cheslin Kolbe, Jesse Kriel, Damian de Allende, Kurt-Lee Arendse, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Cobus Reinach; Jasper Wiese, Ben-Jason Dixon, Siya Kolisi (captain), Ruan Nortje, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Frans Malherbe, Bongi Mbonambi, Ox Nche. Reserves: Malcolm Marx, Gerhard...

What a difference a year & two weeks* makes... * Posted 7/08/24

Awesome game & I'm glad Northland didn't get a 4-try BP, you shouldn't be rewarded for losing by 25. The sooner they adopt the +3 try BP system the better IMO.
