Haha - snatching victory from the jaws of defeat from the jaws of victory.

The joys of a Black Caps fan

It's not all that bad, during the game they showed a stat for ODI winning percentage at homesince 2019. I can't remember the exact details but the Black Caps were well on top with something like 96% and only 2 losses.

@nonpartizan said in Ireland v All Blacks - Chicago2:

Am.i wrong in being worried about the selections at 11 and 13 on the basis that Tupaea normally never plays the 80 for the ABs and Clarke didn't at Eden Park.....

Leicester Fainga'anuku is on the bench of course but one way or the other one of Tupaea or Clarke is gonna have to go the distance.

Maybe I'm overthinking it but would it have been better to start Fainga'anuku and have one of QT or Clarke on the bench? Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Jordan can go to the wing when McKenzie comes on.

I'm calling it game now, it's been looking pretty grim for a while but now we would need a mircle to even get close.

He should probably ask to be transfered to the Highlanders then?

He has. Chiefs are the ones holding it up.

Then maybe he should just go up the road to the Blues!

The Blues have Beaudy! No other 10 will be willing to move there until he has retired.

@frugby said in All Blacks & All Blacks XV EOYT Squads 2025:

I like Jacomb as a prospect, but also he has not shown anything yet to remotely suggest he would be an upgrade on Barrett/McKenzie at Super Rugby level.

It is imperative he plays week in week out next season for the sake of NZR, as I personally think of those who have already played first class rugby, he is the only one at this point who looks like he could be an ABs 10.

He should probably ask to be transfered to the Highlanders then?

There are six pool winners so need there will need to be two quarter finals where pool winners play..

Willemse announces his immediate retirement from rugby

France and Montpellier lock Paul Willemse has announced his immediate retirement from rugby after being out of action for almost a year.

I read the headline and thought Damien had decided that after destroying the All Blacks, there is nothing more to accomplish.

Ardie ain’t just a show pony. Fucccck off

Rocks and diamonds

Explain?

He’ll do soemthing amazing but his general work around the field, particularly the ruck, is very average.

Get out of town. You don’t play 100 tests for the ABs if you’re rocks and diamonds.

ALB has played 86, only 14 more to go...

For me just deleting the cookies for this site solved the issue (I didn't want to clear the cache etc).

@Donsteppa said in Black Caps in Zimbabwe:

Assuming the weather forecast is good, no rush to declare with three days to go. Added bonus (if unlikely needed) of cooking Zimbabwe in the field before batting.

We have the lowest ever test total, may as try to highest ever test total as well.

It really is a shame they didn't use this as an apportunity to give an up and coming player a chance instead of Nicholls.

Brilliant work @Duluth and @Kirwan
you don’t know how much you miss this place until it is gone.

It was so strange having a couple of big games to watch without the chat

I've been waiting for days to find out who the man of the match was!

Jeez, didn't even know that the UAE played rugby...

Yep, shocking that Nicholls was even considered let alone actually selected. I can only imagine it is because he is one of the 20 NZC contracted players.

Had to scroll through close to a hundred posts before getting to this one, thank you so much

Real fans would know we are playing two tests against Zimbabwe very soon.

I highly doubt Jordie won't be playing 12, unless he wants to switch back to 15.

What is the benefit of letting RR play prop? wouldn't the blues be better off going to golden oldies?

I thought PUG was supposed to be a hungus???
