The Silver Fern

@DrivingMaul said in Maori Super Rugby Team:

@antipodean I don't agree with his 10 team professional competition but I do think kids staying with their clubs is a good idea. Trying to get players to come back to clubs after school is one of the reasons that club rugby is really struggling with numbers (note one reason not all the reasons)

Certainly - there's no reason why strong school development has to mean players don't go back to club rugby. The elephant in the room is if these kids who play at school would give it away regardless on graduation.

@KiwiMurph said in Blues v Chiefs:

just put a different halfback in rather for some reason always defaulting to Ruru as the starter

you would hope Nock will get a chance this weekend, and he has a massive opportunity to claim that jersey, if not, Christie will get his chance and the merry-go-round will continue.

My post match interviews from the game:

@African-Monkey Injuries really stopped the Streamers last year, if they can stay fit....

FYI The Blues have offered to give us some tickets to the Blues v Sunwolves game to give away!
