Actually the one time league could possibly have become a major threat was in the late 80's & early 90's. NZRU's obsession with maintaining contact with South Africa despite apartheid turned a lot of people off rugby & then TV2 started showing the Winfield Cup. That provided the impetus for...

Yawn, I've been reading articles like that for over 30 years now, the only thing that's changed is the supposed home of the second NRL team (used to be Wellington, now Christchurch, give it a few more years it could be Hamilton or Tauranga). Not many people know this but pre-Warriors NZRL had a...

@zer0 (in track suit) & security detail have arrived at Eden Park...
