So in your opinion the judiciary got it wrong because you think it was reckless? So you do also know that as a jumper goes up and catches the ball all players must give him ample space to land safely which Koroibete whilst running in – didn’t. Although unfortunate, contact could be deemed unintentional and accidental, hardly reckless and at worst poor execution. Conversely, Koribete could have been carded for contact whilst Jordie was in the air, yes regardless of what body part did it.
'Not guilty': Why Jordie Barrett was cleared for Koroibete face kick
Geez let it go will you… Meads was hard on players on his side of the ruck but never dirty. He didn’t realize his other leg was pinned whilst clearing him out and said he would do the same again the next week. That was in another era when it was pretty much all on in rucks, mauls and lineouts in those days but hey call us what you like. I’m sure we could mention a couple of Australian unsporting incidents but that’s yesterday’s news now . In this instance it was plainly unintentional, and unlike Koroibete, Barret has a clean record. Even referees were uncertain on whether he should have been penalised at all so read gd article again
'Not guilty': Why Jordie Barrett was cleared for Koroibete face kick
Totally agree and l now see why Hansen and possibly the NZRPA weren’t supporting NZR in their negotiations with the Silver Lake deal. It would have seen the ABs and all levels of rugby in NZ benefit significantly mitigating the necessity to go overseas so readily for this strange get rich raid. Hansen and his rich mates have been planning this for some time and although he says it’s only three weeks he ignores the time spent travelling, preparing and returning . Our NPC would be affected and the proposed global calendar ignored in favour of this odd addition.
Why Hansen says new, big money World 12s format, touted as rugby's IPL equivalent, will succeed
NZ Herald’s Mark Reason is a joke, an embittered Pom who has some extremely odd views
NZ View: Wallabies' 'first half was a joke', 'own worst enemies', while Foster decision 'puzzling'
I would urge you to watch NPC games from NZ. The standard of rugby is only marginally inferior to the NZSR teams and is why NZ Super teams are consistently strong. Oz SR teams wouldn’t have to choose a marquee player but would benefit by approaching players that were unlucky not to get NZSR contracts for example, or emerging talents or older fringe Super players. This would mitigate the necessity to spend any extra, strengthen Oz teams and hopefully retain them.
Another idea would be to have a Trans Tasman Provincial competition where say eight Australian teams join the 14 current top NPC teams and say the top four Oz teams play with the top seven NZ teams, and vice versa with the rest meaning two divisions with relegation/promotion between them. This should strengthen both countries and increase viewer interest on both sides of the Tasman. Oops add two Pacifica teams too. Hey if it improves and proves successful it could rival the European comps, NRL and AFL in future.
The provincial poach: How Australia could start filling their Super Rugby sides today
Wish all your negative pundits and scribes remembered that when they were running down the ABs for delaying their travel plans to Perth because they weren’t given an assurance the RC could go ahead meaning they could have been stuck in limbo till the European tour begun November. They made up all sorts of garbage and wouldn’t buy NZRU’s rational explanation. Oz are living in lala land unless they drop at least one team to strengthen their SR teams but oh no they think otherwise and will suffer the consequences…again
'That's not great for the competition': Ex-All Blacks skipper's dire prediction for Aussie Super teams
Ice hockey really? Come on – you’ll find rugby is far more globally played than ice hockey and far more popular. Its appeal and growth is spreading and it unsurprisingly beggars belief that when Australia’s National rugby team lose badly some of their supporters downplay the importance of the game and the All Blacks. Why not celebrate the fact that Australia also won the World Cup twice with fine teams in 91 and 99, otherwise you’ll just seem bitter and desperate to deflect criticism and credit where it’s due. NZ competes decently in other Winter sports but has ruled the rugby fields consistently ever since the All Blacks first carried that moniker.
Why the 2015 All Blacks were the best side in all sport
Cole’s no try was a try scored firstly by his arm which is fine. The TMO had no right to meddle, persuade then overrule the referee, and if you take your eye patch off and look at it again one day you will agree. At least he scored his obligatory after the powder puff Oz defence disintegrated in front of a basic lineout maul
Australia seems to be living in another world when it comes to the All Blacks
I’ve been banging on about this for a while -Australian rugby was strong when you had a greater concentration of good players in fewer teams and (when their were just three teams)played competitively consistently against the Super teams of NZ and S.A. Forget the ‘talent needing to be fostered’ line – admit NZ know a good product when they see it and audiences here in NZ have loved the test match quality of every Super Aotearoa game. We all lost our way (due to probable financial and not altruistic reasons) expanding the Super game, which diluted the quality then viewer appeal. If you contract the teams to three and rejoin NZ you may not have the one sided results of recent years either in Super or test match games. Also stay true to limiting Australian caps to domestic players as it will disincentivise foreign departures and create that culture Australians strive to engender. It’s no coincidence that it was some time ago when an Australian team won Super Rugby and the World Cup at a time all your Super teams demanded respect.
Wallabies Bledisloe 3 DIY player ratings vs New Zealand: The results
Like RA you produce no evidence and recent results bar Perth the ABs suggest they’ve nrver needed perceived partial assistance. We think our refs have always been fair but you can make things up all you like before the game starts – it wont help
Why I have hope for the Wallabies
Umm fact check that please and RA and SANZAAR never did produce so called minutes. Move on….the reality is if the All Blacks play anything like their SR Aotearoa teams RA may cancel the dead rubber last test and put up the white flag
Rugby Championship draw changed to assist All Blacks
Super Rugby became a victim of it’s own long success with SANZAR then thinking expansion would not only be a financial windfall for them but would expand the game and brand to SH and Asian countries that had envied the comp. Adding an extra Oz and SA team, the Sunwolves,and the Jaguars diluted the quality and eventually its appeal as a spectator. Crowds dwindled due to lopsided scores and the Conference systems only complicated things. Ironically Covid saw awesome close games in Aotearoa SR and Oz similarly enjoyed theirs. My solution would be to see each RC and 6N country replicate this with the winning team from each playing each other in order to have a true World club champ.
Why South Africa was right to move north
