Rugby Championship 2025 (non-Aus matches)

The official All Blacks tiktok channel posted a ridiculously wholesome clip of Kriel giving Savea a gift after their match and congratulating him on his 100th cap.

In the background, Savea's daughter could be heard shouting "Uncle Siya!!" as she ran and leapt into Kolisi's arms. Made my allergies play up something fierce.
I was watching it on the tv when happened, reminded me why our game has some great ethos. And after Kolosi hugged her, he asked her if she was proud of Daddy? And then went over with Ardie to his parents and chatted with them, a bloody great thing to see,

Second SA Test will have competition for eyeballs: Warriors have a home QF v Penrith that kicks off an hour prior. Will be interesting to see the ratings, esp Wahs second half.

In addition to Bell joining the squad as injury cover...

"Winger Caleb Clarke and loose forward Luke Jacobson have also rejoined the squad in Wellington after NPC cameos, while Noah Hotham is over his ankle injury and available for selection, easing the crisis at halfback."

Test 2: I've gone from Defcon 1 last weekend to Defcon 5 for this one. A free hit after the Eden Park pressure release.

Rassie's chucked the flighty backs in there and basically said have a bit of a run around.

Razor will probably rest the stupid Barretts and let the Love's and Tupaea's have a burl.

That Eden Park game was HUGE for this year and how Razor is viewed. My sole remaining keyboard warrior fanboi wants for 2025 season:

- don't lose the Bledisloe
- don't lose to f****** Scotland.

Anything else is gravy.
