still crying

Which All Blacks World Cup was more significant: 2011 or 2015?

Not a great side but still better than 95% of wallabies’ teams over the last 100 years

NZR can't give tickets away as New Zealanders turn nose up at Bledisloe II

😂 😂 😂 This is the type of self-saucing article i would expect from across the ditch

Why is Australia so good at sport?

Looks like another NZer is about to get deported from Australia

'Absolute travesty': Outrage over Koroibete red in Wallabies v France decider

Big Nelson has already stated that his loyalties lie with is country of birth.

Return of the Tongan Jesus

Dragons release Israel Folau, door open for rugby league return

Good point. I’m pretty sure Black caps thrashed India in NZ so why does that not undermine India’s credentials? Didn’t the Black caps also win an away series against Pakistan so the notion that NZ could not preform away from home was already proven incorrect.

India versus NZ is a fitting World Test Championship final

Up until 1995 the RL “World cup” only contained 5 or less teams so cant be considered legitimate world cups. So its more 4 AUS – 1 NZ. Also helps when you host every second “world cup”.

The Wrap: Five-try Wainui reveals Super Rugby’s bald truth

Get over yourself mate. If you don’t have the intellect to understand why the Pasifika team exists that’s your problem.

Devon Conway is yet another talented South African playing for a different country

Many of those players have already represented their home nations so its ridiculous that they are now being funnelled to the Kangaroos. It doesn’t matter where a Tongan/Samoan/Fijian is born they are Tongan/Samoan/Fijian foremost.

NSW Blues Origin 1 team: Expert reaction, every selection analysed

SOO is quite a handy recruitment tool for the Kangaroos. Look at the number of Tongan, Samoan and Fijian internationals suiting up for NSW or QLD. Might as well turn it into an All Star game.

If all Australias best athletes are in the NRL why is a significant chunk NRL players from NZ? Going by your logic NZ’s secondary athletes are beating out Aussies best athletes. AUS has over a thousand RL clubs, NZ has just over one hundred. If the AUS athletes were superior they would make up 90+ percent of NRL players which is far from the case.

The Trans-Tasman showed a glaring weakness in Australian rugby

Didn’t know your private schools were full of polynesians 😂 😂

Reds hold their nerve to break Australia's Super Rugby drought

Nah

Curb the hype and Reece Walsh could be next Immortal

Australia will be glad they don’t have to play a full-strength Tonga.

There is no excuse to cancel the World Cup

Australia at full strength would still be weaker than the worst NBA side, I find it hilarious the Australians think their team would have a chance against an All star ladened USA side. Surely NZ has more of a chance to beat AUS than AUS does of beating the USA.

"A real shame": Scott Robertson laments the "gulf" between NZ and Australian rugby

As a one-eyed all blacks fan I’m not so sure they would. The boks have best pack I’m the world imo.

How to fix Australian rugby's trans-Tasman problem

I guess their jokes are no better than their rugby.

How to fix Australian rugby's trans-Tasman problem

You might say Kiwis are nearly as bad at taking jokes as Australians are at playing rugby. To be fair the jokes, like the 5 AU super rugby teams, were a little uninspiring. I wasn’t even sure if this was an attempt at humour? embarrassingly it appears that it was. The jokes were so terrible that they might be mistaken for an Australian super rugby team.

It would be an upset but hardly unthinkable, probably as likely as the Wallabies winning the Bledisloe.

"A real shame": Scott Robertson laments the "gulf" between NZ and Australian rugby

The thing is despite having a fraction of the player base and money NZ can still compete and beat Australia in every other sport. Even the kiwis are capable of back to back wins against their rivals across the deeetch.

How to fix Australian rugby's trans-Tasman problem

This feels like an exhibition match tournament more than anything. Similar to the Superleague World Club Challenge that occurred in 1997

The problem with Super Rugby Trans-Tasman

I could see the Hurricanes and Highlanders dropping a couple of games against AUS sides. I doubt any will beat the Crusaders, Blues or Chiefs. There’s too much talent in NZ’s top three teams to lose against mediocre teams from across the ditch. Who knows, a red card could make any game competitive.
