        have to say im surprised to see a couple of our forwards in the list (also saw regan listed in someone elses team of the week) given how the general consensus was out forwards were light weight

        also hilarious that Nareki made the team of the week but rugby pass also did a Top Five of the week and Garden-Bachop made it and nareki didn't

          @kiwiwomble Rugbypass are a strange bunch with their ridiculous player ratings system. I don't trust anything they write about players' performances, least of all any form of ranking.

              This team of the week is a bit better. It still has McLeod at 12 though

              Thats the problem when there's only 4 people playing a position a week. It's easy for none of them to be particularly good. I would have leaned towards Plummer by default because the other guys negatives were higher

                    @nzzp Yes, it has changed. I think this is the new rugby programme on Sky (in addition to games):

                    Sunday, 8.30pm: Rugby Nation
                    Monday, 8.30pm: Breakdown
                    Tuesday, 8.30pm: Aotearoa Rugby Pod
                    Tuesday, 10.00pm: Rugby Heaven Live (about Rugby AU)
                    Wednesday, 8.30pm: Playmakers (Justin Marshall with a special guest, this week Robbie Deans)
                    Wednesday, 9.00pm: Rugby Stories Throwback (an old game discussed in the programme Playmakers, this week Crusaders v Waratahs 2002)

                      I don't think I'll ever take anything rugbypass has to offer seriously after reading the players to watch and team of the week stories.

                          Are they even local writers? I won't use "journalist".

                          I only read the occasional RugbyPass article posted here, but I am not familiar with the majority of the names.

                                An ok news source. Poor opinion source.

                                I presume they are still owned by Sky NZ? They purchased the site a few years ago
