I wasn't expecting that

All Blacks finally fronted up and started to play rugby at the kick off. Instead of just standing back and seeing what the opposition had to throw at us, they hit rucks, they smashed into the tackle and they did everything they could to actually get the ball in space to their potential game breakers

All Blacks v Springboks II

Yew! Too much! Great game good win!! Not perfect but then who is?? Huge Improvement in 7 days in a couple of key areas and she was a different game.

Headless Chooks

It's really not rocket science. New Zealand Rugby made a catastrophic error in appointing Foster. He may be a nice chap, but he is not an innovator and does not have the imagination to take the game forward

Boks will get better

As Bok supporter I'm pretty happy with that, we came into the game favourites and played like it. The team had a calm confidence about them where they knew that they'd win if they only did their job right.

The All Blacks old pattern

I actually see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel once we get new coaches in. We're simply not direct enough and are still playing our outdated gameplan which went out of fashion in 2017

All Blacks vs Springboks I

Our structure with ball in hand, fucking hell, just clueless. A symptom of this is how bad our 10s are playing at the moment. Beauden commands the ball at 10 but then has no idea what to do with it. Then Mo'unga comes on and just goes missing.

Motor Nureon Disease Charity Match

There was a cracker of a match at the weekend, The Myles MacDuff MND Awareness' Day Charity match. A Hauraki North Invitational XV versus a Thames Valley Invitational XV

After a two-year hiatus, there's again a full rugby test schedule for June-July 2022. You can find almost all men's test matches here. The NZ broadcasting details will be added as soon as they are known. The results will be added the day after the game. Some times are TBC and subject to change. *After "local time" means that the time is the previous day from a NZ perspective.
