  If JJ/Brown are offered the AB's coaching role I don't think any amount of money would keep them in Japan. They have both stated their desire to coach the AB's and they will be well remunerated anyway. Its actually also a great time to take over as we came 3rd in the WC, lost the RC and have stuttered in recent years. Whoever is the new coach has 4 years to build a team that will hopefully go all the way.

  @cgrant I think we a suggesting Jacobson as an openside. Sione Havilli is the only Kiwi openside listed on Wiki as heavier than him. ( and we all know Wiki is never wrong)

  Hmmm, maybe it's time to move this discussion to the politics thread?

  One good bet for me today was savitiano. Smashed it when it opened on weds at 10/3.50. Knew it could get to rail and lead from the outside barrier and it did that and ran them ragged to win paying about $5. Farken brilliant! Edit - should mention that I had it mapped to follow Homesman across however they elected to take it to Sandown which I thought may impact the race shape but in fact it possibly made it easier!

  @Bovidae said in NBL: Breakers and stuff: Glen Rice Jr was arrested after a fight outside an Auckland bar in the early hours of Thursday morning. He has travelled to Perth. I am shocked . Who could have predicted this?

  Hey all - despite the three-ring shitshow that is the professional game, those of us in the trenches against League, AFL, and Soccer still have to run our clubs. SO fuck it - if you know anyone living in NW Sydney who wants a club or just wants to come down and buy our beer, send them this way: https://www.facebook.com/RouseHillRugby/

  https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/george-bennett-ive-essentially-had-three-ribs-removed/ George has had his operation - sounds pretty drastic so I hope it works for him. Also confirmation the Tom Dumoulin has joined TJV - so George needs the operation to work if he's to get a chance to compete to win elite races.

  All Blacks 7s signings: Bay of Plenty rugby product, and Red Bull Ignite7 alumni, William Warbrick joins the All Blacks Sevens for the first time, signing a two-year contract, after spending the pre-season training with the squad. Senior player Dylan Collier, along with emerging stars Andrew Knewstubb and Tone Ng Shiu, have all re-committed to the side through to 2021. This news is on the back of signing schoolboy star Jacob Kneepkens and the confirmation that Investec Super Rugby players Caleb Clarke (Blues), Etene Nanai-Seturo (Chiefs), Salesi Rayasi (Hurricanes) and Scott Gregory (Highlanders) will join the campaign in the lead up to the Olympics. https://www.allblacks.com/news/all-blacks-sevens-signings-bolster-squad-for-new-season/

  @Bovidae They don't have a particular date on which they publish the team lists; some are early (the ponies), some are very late. Same South Africa. The Sunwolves usually dripfeed their signings and sometimes even change the composition of their team during the season.

  @Siam He'd be my pick if we have to have a spinner, but he's not even in the squad. Without looking it up - none of them have good stats in NZ.

  @Magpie_in_aus To the contrary, if the goal is to improve all the teams, I'd say that makes it a difficult job. Exactly because there are not many players to pick from.

  The 2nd half was disappointing and you could see how important Reid is to organise the defence when he wasn't there. This is the start of a new era under Hay after 525 days of inactivity so it will take some time to adjust to possession-based football. Bell, Thomas and Marinovic were the pick of the All Whites. McCowatt scored a nice goal on debut but also twice lost possession in his own half leading to Irish goals. We will need to see further improvement against Lithuania on Monday (NZT), a team ranked closer to NZ.
