Rugby Championship 2025 (non-Aus matches)

I dunno. I remember it seeming at the time like it was the intercept that broke their brains. Was King Carlos ever the same after.

He did score the best Super Rugby try ever vs Crusaders the following year (and kicked the conversion and gave an up yours to the crowd).

Yep Los was not someone to let throwing an intercept pass dent his confidence!

Tavatavanawai out for rest of TRC & Ratima has a fractured rib, Roe called up as the third 9.

Did Fakatava run over someone's cat?

I see Leicester F is into the squad as injury cover

Did Fakatava run over someone's cat?

Feel bad for the guy. Always gets his packs going forward. Has all the skills. Great sniper. Unfortunately every 20 minutes he will lose patience and take an incredibly dumb option.

If Barkays Fakatava ran over a cat then Taufi Funaki cooked it and ate it. WFT happened to that poor bugger.

I often suspect these coaches prefer the "school prefect" types (your Luke f*******Jacobsen's etc) and just can't be bothered with the challenge of trying to incorporate the surly non-prefect types (HOSKINS SOTUTU)

".....just parachute the mercenary straight back
in, that's who they need in the trenches alongside
them when they're under the kosh versus the boks....."

Tavatavanawai has broken his arm, needs surgery & is therefore out for ~12 weeks.

Clarke has been told to play again for Aux before being considered for Bledisloes.

NZ win both tests: NZ public will be all "meh, that's what you were supposed to do, petals". The boks will be all "fahhhhk, we too olllllllld...."

NZ win the Eden Park test: .....and all the pressure will be released. Job done. AB's will talk the talk about backing it up in Welly but will be mentally as flat as a pancake and will lose with what appears to be only one half of one mailed-in fuck given.

NZ lose the Eden Park test; ...and they will be so shattered they will defo lose both tests and I reckon public pressure will force ol' Supercoach to biff a sacrificial assistant lamb (Ellison/Holland) on the tyre fire of dreams rapidly going up in smoke.

Ratima trained but surely can't play with a broken rib.

Seems halfback is an endangered species here at moment. Shit all those years I played and tried to hurt the buggers, now someone seems to of found the answer when I don't want it.
