The ball used in hurling, HH. And the woman’s version of the game, camogie.

Yep the Brumbies didn’t make the finals in his first season (although they improved in the second half of the season). Then made every finals after it. 2019 from memory they lost in Argentina. Seems a good coach

His mum is Tanya (nee Cox) the goal keeper paired with Wai Taumaunu for Pacific Island Church, Wellington and the Silver Ferns. The formidable Wall of Death defence.

No surprise that she's bred a big, tough rugby forward.

Let's hope so. :)

Crusaders vs Reds: Havili sends timely reminder, Christchurch curse continues

GP 1 hour ago

I was at this game, freezing, but the Crusaders did it against a tough Reds team who we lost to last year. Noah Hotham really went back to his latter 2024 form. That try was brilliance. Rivez Reihana at 10 is so good . Kicking , running etc, class. Will Jordan , welcome back. Braydon Ennor andDavid Havili are class. Fletcher Newell, Scott Barrett and the rest of the pack true roll your sleeves up and get the job done in the best of the red and black tradition.

The Aussie teams have been pretty disappointing in these last couple of games.

The reds never looked in it with all their errors. Worse ball handling than an elderly priest with Parkinson’s. The Crusaders do not need that many scrums opportunities.

And the Waratahs didn’t even bother at Eden park last week.

It’s helps Finn sleep better at night. Make-believing SA rugby doesn’t have talent. Reading his tripe helps me sleep better at night too - it’s so tired and boring it puts me to sleep.

If your country has a strong amatuer club game with a lot of people enjoying rugby, you can wave goodbye to your Mo’ungas and get excited about the next guy up.

But in NZ, rugby is becoming less and less a thing that people care about, so we don’t have the conveyor belt of talent we used to.

So really, it’s only a question with consequences because NZR have no idea how to get the game back into the hearts of the people.

Fix the club game. Then it’s all “good luck, next man up.”

But that’s a rugby Australia call though, surely?

Perceptive article. Crusaders in finals mode looked formidable. Their front 5 were dominant and won scrum penalties at will. On a dry night score would have blown out to 50+ margin. Blackadder yellow card saw the Reds able to stop the bleeding somewhat and get on the board.

Pat Lam blames Bath ticket prices for raining on Bristol's parade

£105 is too high to sit in a temporary stand with no roof horrible conditions if it rains. Rugby has to be really careful not to price real supporters out. Northampton st holder for over 20 yrs. Similar prices first day of the season at Bath sat at home watching on tv looking at a number of empty seats.

Very astute!

There was always middle ground available to NZR which could have kept the traditionalists happy while still protecting their domestic game in NZ.

They could have made exceptions for just a few players every year or couple of years. There’d be no mass exodus. Rules around number of test caps or the length of the overseas contract.

I think there is obvious advantages to a few up and coming 10’s knowing they only have 18-24 months to make an impression and nail a spot down in a current cycle.

Since covid, SA have finished 3rd and 7th at two home tournamets. That’s extremely poor.

You’re welcome to keep asserting that there’s an abundance of talent coming through, but at a certain point you’re going to need some evidence to point to.

I will never understand how NZR could have let Cruden go overseas. 2016-2019 was Cruden’s time to wear the All Black 10 jersey and Barrett at 15.

When you think of the 2011 RWC you think of Carter being injured, the nation in panic, and Richie McCaw playing brilliantly with 3 broken bones in his foot test after test after test.

When you think of the 2015 RWC, you think of Carter kicking that drop goal to knockout the Springboks out in the semis and Carter’s master class in the final vs Wallabies.

Oh and McCaw tackling everything not wearing black, lol.
