Heading to this one. Will be the first time I've ever been to an All Blacks game.

New Chiefs logo.

Regardless of how average he's playing, the Toulon owner just sounds like a pissed off toddler spitting the dummy.

I sent all the Super teams a DM on Instagram asking when the Super squads would be named and the Highlanders replied and said all squads will be named in early December after the Mitre 10 Cup.

Where are the Cane doubters

Rugbypass at it with the roasts again

Fucking awesome game Highlanders. Mitch Hunts man of the match hands down.

Brodie has said in his Instagram story today that he isn't going to Sale.

Anyone see Sevu Reece on the news blaring on about the how the Chiefs told him he was surplus to requirements and whinging about how he always wanted to play for the Chiefs.

Let's not forget the reason the Chiefs didn't sign him is because he smacked his Mrs up in Hamilton and nearly got a conviction.

The article mentions Sowakula having a good game and rugbypass rated him at 7.5 or 8 in the game on Saturday. Surely no one else thinks he played well, I thought he was awful.

@arhs said in NPC - news, injuries etc:

Has Waikato withdrawn?

If they did they probably still wouldn't tell us.

Highlanders and All Black star Shannon Frizell had been charged over an allegedly violent incident in May.

It is understood the 27-year-old Tongan-born loose forward with 15 international caps to his name will appear in the Dunedin District Court tomorrow on two allegations of assaulting a female and one of common assault.

New Zealand Rugby's general manager professional rugby and performance Chris Lendrum said: "We are aware that charges have been laid against one of our players and we have initiated our own employment process."

He refused to comment further.

In May, police confirmed they were investigating an incident at Octagon bar Vault 21 and said a rugby player "of significance" was allegedly involved.

Highlanders chief executive Roger Clark, at the time, said he was aware of the incident and that there would be an investigation.

Frizell was dropped from the Highlanders squad the week after the alleged violence but Clark said it was not a punishment, simply a measure to avoid "distraction".

He has not yet responded to requests for comment today,

The All Blacks are gearing up to face the Wallabies next month for the annual Bledisloe Cup clash, defending a title they have held since 2003.

The maximum penalty on a charge of male assaults female is two years' imprisonment.

Only positive for Fizzell is that it may open doors at the Crusaders for him.

Holy shit that's one of the best roasts I've ever seen

@cpt-kumera uh shitloads. Got nearly every Chiefs home jersey, just need 1997. A few away jerseys. A bunch of player issued and match worn Chiefs stuff. Old and new Waikato stuff. Some old and new All Blacks stuff. Then a lot of random other club stuff, player issue and replica. Can maybe try post some photos if anyone cares?

Adding to that, if anyone by any chance has a 97 Chiefs jersey and they want to part with it please let me know.

First time I've watched hockey properly and it didn't disappoint. I feel like the Spaniards are quite disrespectful to the refs?

@kid-chocolate sorry answering your question from 18 days ago. I'm mainly a jersey collector but pick up other bits here and there.

Give us North vs South 3 game series.

@stargazer there's Milo-Harris

Every new article I read about this guy, my "this guy is a tool" meter goes a bit higher.
I know... judging a guy from Stuff puff-pieces, but... just the general "vibe of the thing".

So... he could play at halfback? Not many of the current lot pass that well as it is...

My impression is that this guy would have no interest in passing, or learning to pass.

We just got rid of Laumape ffs

Waisake going to the dark side. Debreczeni is a real surprise, didn't even see his name til @Tim pointed it out.

Taranaki seem to have a throwback kit. Sorry about the thing on the photo.
