I think you may be missing the words "fully professional" after "legit" in the statement above. I don't think Netball, Field Hockey, or Water Polo have salary caps, drafts or player points systems and they seem to be legitimate team sports. Super Rugby in Australia has a salary cap of...

^^^ Would not want to gift NZ another bruising Wing in a reverse Viliami Ofahengaue, bearing in mind his appearance in Aust was due to a stuff up by NZ administrators. It is bad enough that Wicks and Manly (and the Tahs) let Ratu Nasiganiyavi slip through their fingers (because he let the ball...

Didn't Tyler O'Bleyendaal show a tonne of promise at the 2010 Junior RWC where he was the NZ Captain? Being stuck behind Carter, Slade, Cruden et al wouldn't have helped him to realise his full potential, but he seems to have been a victim of the "Peaking Too Early" syndrome. On the back...

^^^^ I think part of the problem with finding bruising BSF and No8s in the Palu mould has its roots from the junior rugby (& loig) development where too many Coaches focus on winning games rather than skills development. Typically junior and school coaches put the large early developers (AKA Big...

What about this one? http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/test-post.12643/

^^ There is another (elder) Carter as well. Throw in the Clancy twins who are the same cohort as Crichton.

I like the look of this macaw. It is from the Krakow Zoo. It is not a horse, dark or otherwise.

@Ruggo, well done. I hope it has the desired effect. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Remember it took a little kid to point out that the Emperor was wandering around in his undies.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant @Garza, and thank you for turning me into a Scots and Uni apologist. I would also note that in 2013 Randwick Colts 1 were knocked out of the Finals by The Corporation by more than 100 points. In 2014 with quite a number of lads from...

Kings played visiting NZ school, Francis Douglas Memorial College (from New Plymouth, North Island), on April 3, and won 19-13. The visitors from NZ had earlier been beaten by Oakhill College 29 - 17, and they went on to beat Terrigal Trojans U18's by 70-7. from: https://www.facebook.com/FDMCRugby

Quite a few former Queenslanders at the Rebels as well.

To the doubters above, there is no such thing as an easy rugby game in NZ. From facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Waverley-College-NZ-Rugby-Tour-2015/1548442288743702 Waverley College vs St Thomas of Canterbury (Christchurch) 1st XV won 22-10 (tries: Narayan 2, Yoannidis, Muddle...

Qld may be in danger of having a Sydneyesque situation where many folk happily, and openly, support the Ponies because they lost confidence in the NSWRU and all the Machiavellian polictical manoeuvering inherent in the way the game is administered in Sydney. By any reasonable measure RG must...

Didn't D. McKenzie originally hail from somewhere in the South Island? Could be a wise career move for him to go to the CruSadists.

^^^^ and if he did he would then stake a serious claim to Coach @Dismal Pillock's All Time Crim XV.

I'm fairly sure that Malone is in his third year of 1st grade Head Coach, and has been Director of Rugby as well this year after Jack Farrer left at the end of last year. Not sure that The Corporation has slipped in their Colts recruiting. They seem to do well with their recruiting as...

NZ Herald not giving up the good battle, and the person who penned "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" was obviously not around when Rugby was invented. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11432094
