That Blues retro jersey is so clean. Will sell like hotcakes. The overall jerseys are good too for all the teans. Nice work Classic.

Don't know how there was any ability to move forward whilst Hamish remained. It was needed.

How do you know they don't have total confidence they can win the vote?

Extraordinary General Meeting it is. Hamish dragging the game through more fighting. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/i-won-t-back-down-mclennan-calls-for-vote-after-rejecting-call-to-resign-20231119-p5el2p.html

I'm not sure what the argument to keep him is. There are more problems than McLennan but that doesn't mean that McLennan gets a pass and gets to stay. He's lost the trust of the states, the fans, I can't imagine searching for a new Wallabies coach is helped with him around. For a man who...

It's not going to Japan on a multi year deal. It's signing a NZR multi year deal and spending 1 season in Japan

Yeah i'm really looking forward to a Blues Super season without Beaudy's shadow casting over everything. Hopefully ABs wise Razor makes Beauden earn his playing time - that wasn't the case under Foster

Super Rugby should tell the story - he won't have Beauden blocking the 10 shirt so it will be make or break

McKenzie will be 10. Jordan most likely 15. Telea one wing and Narawa/Reece fighting it out for the other wing. Perofeta likely in line for 22 shirt and 23 could be any one of ALB, Levi Aumua, Billy Proctor, Quinn Tupaea, Havili etc etc

See my edits above.

Frizell had already signed overseas and at the time he hadn't nailed down the 6 jersey. Jase Ryan blamed poor communication and is keen to get him back. Whilst Frizell played well in a couple of big games I think people are going a bit over board on his replaceability - I've seen enough from...

Looking at previous All Black XVs etc I would suggest you could add the likes of Akira Ioane, Billy Harmon, Ah Kuoi and Lio Willie to the loose forward mix. Guys like Simon Parker and K Boshier had huge NPCs but it's unclear how much Super Rugby game time they will get.

Ardie as I understand is only missing Super so will be back for the 2024 test season I would imagine Razor will talk Mo'unga into coming back - I doubt Mo'unga wants to end his career like that and I'm sure will want to play AB rugby under Razor. Aaron Smith is going, as is Frizell (who may...

Congrats Boks fans - deserved winners. Knock-out rugby masters. Proud of the ABs - they gave it everything but just came up a little bit short. I thought a couple of ongoing AB weaknesses were exposed. Discipline and kicking game. The ABs under Foster (and the back end of Hansen) haven't had...

France butchered the last 10 minutes. Should have gone for the try but took the 3 and gambled on a) being able to get back down the Bok end and b) getting a penalty awarded when refs that late in a RWC game almost always do every thing to try and avoid giving a penalty. Then from the restart...

It's gonna be tough for ABs to get back up emotionally after that but I think the 2019 experience helps them. Beauden already mentioned post game they didn't build slowly into the week for the 2019 SF.

I don't know what to say That's the ABs best performance since at least Lions 2017 Test 1 and probably since McCaw and Carter. I didn't think they had that level of play in them. Ardie and Cane with their best ever tests. A World Cup classic. Who said knockout rugby was dour? That was test...

I said this when the jersey was released. An absolute beat up. Excellent ABs performance. Beating Namibia by that score would have been impressive let alone Italy. Roigard & DMac make a huge positive difference to the bench.

As opposed to 3 year olds not getting bored with cricket and soccer - the two biggest sports on the planet?

As much as the problems are bigger than Eddie Jones - Gatland was able to turn around a Welsh side who were a rabble 12 months ago with players on strike and losing to Georgia. I know it's not a like for like comparison but it's telling I think.
