NZ rugby news websites

What are the sites you read to get rugby news? If the answer is 'none' then there's no need to post in this thread
There's the obvious big ones like Stuff & NZH. Then there's good regional ones like the ODT
What else? Other regional ones with good content they create? Sources for editorials? Any good substacks etc?
I'll tag a couple of guys familiar with the local media: @SouthernMann @Smudge

Southland Tribune (a substack) is former Southland Times reporter Logan Savory's baby. He has a big Southland club rugby wrap each Sunday and plenty of sports content in there on a 6 days out of 7 basis.

I saw him a few months ago and had a yarn with him. It's a case of fine margins, I guess, but I reckon he's opened it up a lot more since he got a couple of local sponsorships on board.
People will pay for hyper-local journalism they can't find anywhere else so fair play to him.

Like @Smudge I really like the work that is done with the Tribune. Quality well researched content.
I'm big on the ODT. Love him or hate him. But Paul Dwyer drives a lot of content especially with the club rugby
Taranaki Sports News is another good one - https://sportsnewstaranaki.co.nz/
For Wellington Clubrugby.co.nz is good

Whatever happened to Inky?
Now that is a blast from the past.
I'm not sure what his main platform was but I subscribed to the NZRU newsletter in circa 2000 and he did a weekly roundup of all the games in SR/NPC/ sevens etc if I recall correctly.

Out of curiosity does NZ rugby news publish a magazine in print that is widely available in NZ?

Yeah, mostly just an email and a link to the “archive” on a website. 90% rugby, 10% political/social commentary under the general premise that you can’t trust any country where rugby isn’t widely played as a primary sport
He was the best for a long time

Rugby News is available as widely as a monthly sports magazine could hope to be these days
