The Silver Fern

Isi Tuʻungafasi is back playing for Grammar TEC

For Marist:

Apparently 2024 hooker Millennium Sanerivi played number 8 for College Rifles this weekend.

Kolbe was a mile offside

What services are streaming this game? Any in Asia?

@Nepia Lots of rich guys (many from USA etc) have built estates around Northland. Maybe one of them took an interest in rugby and saw an established approach to success ...

Might be worth checking out:

Smoke review – no TV show has ever been worth sticking with more

Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett hit every ball out of the park in this smart, mesmerising crime drama about arson investigators. It’s hugely entertaining – if you can make it through the shaky start

@voodoo I enjoyed the first two seasons, but the fine dining stuff could not have been less interesting. Season 3 was unwatchable.

@Landers92 How about off the bench in game 2, or a start in game 3? Seems that lineout and defense are his best areas.

@ACT-Crusader Why would you bring on Holland off the bench? He isn't a ball carrier. Tuipulotu played that role well on the EOYT.

@Chris-B It was mentioned in the Herald a couple of times this year (and by @george33) that Papalii had increased his weight to have more impact in collisions, so he may be looked at as a seven and six cover.

@nonpartizan That's a nice upsell for NZR.

@nonpartizan That sounds great. Out of interest, is this promoted as a tourist event?

Samoa has been a shit show with admin and coaches in recent times.

@tubbyj

He absolutely dominated the air in the final. Did get nailed behind the line a couple of times, but most players would have succumbed to those Tupaea rush defence efforts.

He might well be ready to match his brilliant attacking lines with the rest of his game.
