The Silver Fern

A great servant to NZ rugby. A shame he never got a crack at higher honours. Well respected hooker who deserves more credit. Will be a loss to NZ rugby but time for some new blood to come through.

The Blues social media confirming what the Fern has known for awhile.

‘The Blues can confirm Ricky Riccitelli will depart the club and New Zealand at the end of this season.

Lettuce! It’s been a pleasure having you at our club for the past 4 seasons. An integral part of our championship success, we are grateful for everything you’ve given to the jersey.

Hopefully a few more to get.’

Fuck beauden is lucky that winger is dumb

Put the boot away ffs

Barrett going for Moana MVP

Absolutely no reason for him to try and low percentage cross field kick there. Build pressure inside the 22 while they are a man in the bin. Awful decision making by a 100+ test all black playmaker

Put the boot away ffs

Is Beauden Barrett even playing? Barely heard his name. He needs to step up if blues are to get a result here

On what channel is this game in new Zealand it's not on sky sports 1

Nah It’s definitely on sky sport 1

Our backline caught out of position. Nice kick and try by the Tahs.

Winger* I’ll give you 1 guess who it was

Maybe watch the game instead of guessing. It was Reihana

Oh I watched, and I’ve just watched it again and I was wrong. I’ll own that one👍🏽

Shalfoon showing his true grub colours and walking away when a bigger man than him gets involved. lol

What's he supposed to do? Stand there and act tough? Start a fight? He'd be criticised for that too.

The grub ran in from 10-15metres away to escalate it and backed off when a lock bigger than him confronted him. Just pointing out the fact he’s a grub, nothing more.

Dropped it or try?

That is clearly pretty well grounded mate😂

Great try. Fihaki why are you coming in there?!

This penalty count is really starting to climb…

@Canes4life said in Waratahs v Crusaders:

The Tahs midfield is pants. Anything they do on attack completely breaks down with those two.

Walton is usually quite handy imo. Not going their way tonight

Ball at the back so ref telling them to play it. Like they did at the start of the season but seemed to go away from it a bit. Good to see he’s let it play

@Steven-Harris said in Hurricanes vs Highlanders:

lineout throwing is a massive liability

Tell me about it

Tavatavanawai strikes again

Vikena strikes again
