The NZ economy is substantially larger than any of the WI cricket nations combined. Any correlation in WI cricket to NZ rugby is silly considering the resources of the governing body, resources in the general community and internal politics.

My understanding is that it was most likely to be held in Auckland

The Axemen are back (also Axewomen now) https://vic.rugby/news/2021/04/01/article-page Something I would of loved to have had a chance in playing in.

I liked the Tahs maul tactics. It wasn’t perfect but I think they are getting onto something to negate the maul. The ball carrier cannot transfer the ball until contact is made so I guess you just need to get your biggest guy and line him up and absolutely blitz him. A player like Tupou or...

Warm day here in Melbourne. Should be any excuses for ball handling however it’s warm enough to have a heavy fatigue element so benches could be critical. Team that plays the smartest and conserves energy might see this through in the last 20mins

Maddocks was alright, he got caught over tracking twice but that’s more of an inside issue to force the 15 to cover in such a way. On the Muirhead one he actually did a fairly decent job in forcing Muirhead back in to contact of which Newsome had a shocking attempt which should of been a simple...

Marika money will go to Philip and new contracts to players who would be on some lower deals to upgrade because they have only come of age in the last 12 months (Fa’amasuili, Hosea). Be more what happens to DHP if we are in the market with some meaningful cash or if Philip has a change of heart...

Yes

A option I always thought that could be smart if they want more than 5 teams for a NRC type comp is to have 1 of the 2 sides in NSW as 1) Tahs (minus wallabies) and 2) best of the SS from the season. Would be a great little derby with plenty to prove. What better way to prove their worth than...

Not a waste at all. As long as it doesn’t get personal all opinions are worth the read. Having a different view point is a positive, as long as both sides of the spectrum are happy to listen and self evaluate. These are the discussions that will hopefully educate me on something I don’t know :)

Upfront they get absolutely minced. Charlie Abel is a light year behind Bell, Vailanu is a good players but HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) comfortablely beats Metcher (who’s played Super Rugby and wasn’t at the standard). The locks aren’t offering anything the current Tahs babies would offer, except less athleticism and less...

On field kicking game between JOC (James O'Connor) and To'omua is not even close. It’s JOC (James O'Connor)’s weakest element, something at best he’s average at. To'omua is way ahead of him in this aspect, if it gets to a kicking duel tomorrow To'omua will beat him 9/10. JOC (James O'Connor) also isn’t throwing any game breaking passes aka Quade...

That team gets skinned by 50 from the current Tahs side

To'omua might not be a great fly half but he’s as good as we have atm. Lolesio and Harrison will surpass his ability at 10, but currently he’s the best game manager in the country also the best kicker out of hand. It’d be interesting to see how he’d look behind the Brums and Reds pack. Also be...

Shit early years lol. He was John Eales medalist a couple of years ago

Let’s celebrate the milestone with a top 5 craziest and most irrational people that have contributed 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Of course Victoria isn’t going to call a lockdown, we are all talking about Victoria locking out people from other states. You are sounding very silly with this argument. This is the rugby equivalent of talking to an American about gun control, where the persons solution is more guns.

Daugunu was sensational in one, average in another and poor in the last. Worth another go, but equally happy for Wright to get the spot, he’s a good player

TT fixtures will run as planned if the go ahead happens. The fixtures are even on the Rebels website The lions had the luxury of actually been in Victoria when announcements were made. NSW is the least likely territory to call a lockdown as per history of the last 12 months. I’m gathering you...
