Pleased to see Brett Robinson is now the head honcho at WR (World Rugby). I think this may just be a good step forward for the game. He won't be able to change things completely, but will hopefully lead board in right direction.

Well fellas,that was a bloody good win. Has to be great for the game in Aus, last 10 minutes just needs to be replayed on tv to hook casual viewers. For all the doomsayers, this Wallaby team has the makings of a very good one. Your loosies and midfield I thought were bloody good, work to do on...

They were saying on tv here in Wales just now that this drops Ireland to 3 in WR (World Rugby). Books will go to 1 when/if they beat Scotland and ABs to 2.

Well watched test for second week in a row in pub here in Wales, loved it. That was a bloody good win. And noticed the IRU must of been making a point, only played half the NZ anthem.

Well I really enjoyed test, ABs made some mistakes etc, and a few of those were from good pressure from England. But hard for me to be too critical, and certainly couldn't argue with anyone's take on the game, as I watched it in a pub here in the Valleys in Wales, with a load of Welshmen, (and a...

Naa mate originally was going to try and get tickets, then thought this one holiday rugby maybe can take a bit of a back seat (unless mate has got tickets to Wallabies and Wales) . Was going to actually joing up with AB supporter's group in France , but they were really just going places we have...

Sums it up WOB never really felt like I was watching a test match. In fact will say I enjoyed the NPC final more, seemed more intensity etc!

That was a proper final wasn't it? Geez there were some shattered looking players at end, mind you 100 minutes of that would leave most players stuffed. Anyway that's it for NPC and domestic stuff here in NZ, so I can head overseas tomoorow knowing I saw another good comp!

Well I paid extra to get extra legroom etc, i not quite as tall as you mate, only 6.1 and as Mrs is only 5ft it still a waste of some money.:p One of reasons I going is best mate from Aus is actually a Welshman, so we meeting up over there and doing some club rugby etc. And cheers, I will sure...

Well not really a test that will live in my memory. Some good stuff etc, but really dislike when gamea are played on such rubbish fields.. By geez that defence pattern needs some work. Anyway roll on next week .

Well I leave for my farewell tour to UK on Monday, basically because I getting too old at 70 to sit on Plane for 29-30 hours. Said to Mrs after this one we may just annoy the rest of NZ and the Aussies for holidays! ;)

.

By the same token you could find Samoa and Tonga have quite a few born in NZ, and more and more in Aus. Alway has been a thing and probably always will be. I think we have it as tidy as we can now, and probably still harder than most sports!

True mate, but how many people have you heard say they from Horowhenua-Kapiti. Counties was originally South Auckland and Manakau was only really added to make sure the likes city boys didn't feel left out. When it was formwd originally it was what is Counties part of it that actually was the...

I will be honest Kiwi, I actually at moment think Vai'i is playing best of our locks, but I sure Scobar is going alright, just not in loose etc where we tend to notice on tv.

Yep WOB Counties were originally South Aucklnd anyway (actually started by my group involving my great-grandfather), also I wouldn't be against Harbour being split between Auck and Taniwha. Barnes is right, NPC needs to be less about the cities and more about satelite towns/cities that don'e...

Didn't notice that ScB was in that team WOB, not even aure where it came up. Obvious he wasn't there with Pat T as captain.

Team named for Saturday, reasonably what is expexted. All Blacks team vs Japan: Tamaiti Williams Asafo Aumua Pasilio Tosi Scott Barrett (c) Patrick Tuipulotu Samipeni Finau Sam Cane Wallace Sititi Cam Roigard Damian McKenzie Mark Tele'a Anton Lienert-Brown Billy Proctor Sevu Reece Stephen...

Watched that doco WOB, enjoyed it and one of things that got me a bit, the Captain Wayne Ormond still moved to tears when he talked of how he felt when he was presented the Shield, and how he tthought of all the BOP players from before that they were representing. Also wasn't one Genn Jackson...

Well have to say it almost summer, only final of NPC to go! Sigh! Really enjoyed all 3 games yesterday including Heartland final. Both Semis were good games if a bit different, some of the tries and play in the Bay beating Canterbury were an absolute joy, and the Wellington/Waikato one was just...
