Yeah a culla Tahs games should go alright for those of us without $300 for a fucken bleachers seat.

Aww the Rugby Report Card guys are decent for a laugh.

You mean from starting 7? Hooper comes back in when/if ready. Obviously. Would hardly consider that dumping Fraser. He'll be in the squad and continue to get game time and will probably be first choice post RWC.

No point playing an openside off the bench.

For the millionth time - no. Not until next year.

I didn't think he was that great. Holds the ball way too long.

I think he's just giving them both game time. Neither seem ahead of the other.

Look im no expert but historically Super Rugby has been a relatively small portion of a broadcast deal.

Absofuckinglutely. Super Rugby numbers are tiny.

Yeah, broadcast revenue generated by Super Rugby. Not ABs/Wobs (ie the vast majority of it). I can't believe NZR would hand over All Black money to save Super Rugby.

Presumably just an even split of whatever revenue is generated by Super Rugby - not splitting the broadcast deals entirely. So a tenner each?

He actually reeled the dangerous tackles right back in his final season and was calming down somewhat. Besides, being a reckless knobber doesn't seem to have held Fainga'a back at all.

Hopefully Swinton recovers. Still adamant he's the best fit when.. fit.

I wonder how many games the ABs have to lose in a calendar year before they finally drop Cane? Be doing the poor bastard a favour at this point.

I thought they muscled up quite well - just need to sort the lineout. I think the Saffas will likely always have the edge in the scrum.

I wonder also if it's a spectrum disease. Like - do I have a little bit of CTE from playing amateur rugby?

100% - the real risk to the sport is people not wanting to play because of the apparent dangers. Not so much legal risk.

Seems unlikely. No liability for the materialisation of an obvious and inherent risk. Everyone knows that smoking is going to fuck you up so you do it at your own risk Causation is also tricky. For example, smoking is known to increase the risk of emphysema but people also get emphysema without...

Yeah that's been their game plan the last three times we beat them.

He means to South's I think.
