    [RWC2019][The Final] England vs. South Africa (02/11/2019)

    England throw the World Cup away. What they should have done after the win for ABs is to put heads down and stay focus. But the whole team think they are invincible including Eddie Jones and started celebrating mentality. The same goes for ABs preparation for semis but the Management team should...

    [RWC2019][Semi-Final 1] England vs. New Zealand (26/10/2019)

    Totally agreed on the analysis. I still find it hard to accept. But I saw ABS players smiling and joking during the yesterday and today press conference. England was planning for this match 4 years ago. Hansen said ABs lost 10 games out of 104 or 105. This is another game. This is NOT another...

    [2018 November Tests] Italy vs New Zealand (24/11/18)

    Hansen said he some issues to fix. He don't even realized he has to fix himself and ABs Management must intervene. These are the matches to give Mo'unga a chance. No they wont. The midfield area is suffering because they insist to play SBW even he is not up scratch. Now they are struggling. I...

    [2018 November Tests] England vs New Zealand 10/11/18

    When SBW goes off. I know ABs will win. But they would be so lucky everytime!!!. SBW days are over. But the ABS selected still insist he is in. Look at improvement after ABS played after SBW went off.

    [2018 Rugby Championship] Round 4: New Zealand v South Africa (15/09/2018)

    The following reasons caused ABS to lose the game 1) Boks were more hungry to win 2) Hansen stubbornness 3) The selection of No 15 4) The whole team include Coaching team were over confident I been waiting for a long time for this. I am glad ABs lose this game now instead of World Cup. But...

    [2018 Rugby Championship] Round 4: New Zealand v South Africa (15/09/2018)

    Full agreed. Hansen thinks he has it all work out and is over-confident. He said "He said Richie Mo'unga's is playing behind a Rolls-Royce pack in Crusaders in Super Ruby. So if I applied the same logic Barret is playing well because the ALL BLACKS a Rolls-Royce pack. " The Barret brothers...

    [2018 Super Rugby] Round 5: Stormers vs. Blues (17/03/2018)

    Pretty ordinary is NOT the correct word to describe the Blues performance. They played terribly. Tana Umaga should take a big blame for results for fielding the some of the players like Bryn Gatland. He definitely did not play well last week and in fact don't even qualified to be sitting on...

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] Ireland vs. New Zealand (05/11/2016)

    Totally Agreed!! Hansen & Co made a lot of tactical and selection mistakes in this game. They made too many changes in the team removing Anton Lienert-Brown was unnecessary. This has put too much uncertainty in the team so is very obvious the coaches took the Irish too lightly. This is not a...

    [2016 Rugby Championship] Australia v New Zealand (20/08/2016)

    So, are you saying that ABs should give the other teams a handicap score before the kickoff. Similar to the betting system handicap.

    Mike Bryne to Wallabies

    I am looking forward to next week match in Sydney. I am eager to see how much Wallabies will benefit Mike Bryne coaching skills. Hansen said “He’s told me he’s not going to talk about the All Blacks. He’s a good man, I trust his character and wish him all the best and we’ll have a...

    [2016 Super Rugby] Hurricanes vs. Lions (The Final) 06/08/2016

    Congratulations to Hurricanes. You certainly deserved to win the ***le this year. Many said LIONs made a wrong decision to send the B Team to Argentina. But if they did sent the A team. Could they have beaten the HL so easily?They might not be even in the in the final

    All Blacks Rugby Championship Squad?

    If continuity is the criteria for selection, then when is appropriate time to introduce the new players? Do you think Wyatt Crockett will be selected for 2019. Why don't bring someone in for the experience. But when someone get selected for the Steinlager Series. He was not even selected in any...

    All Blacks Rugby Championship Squad?

    I used to look forward to team selection announcement. But it like a default selection now. Maybe now I understand why Crusaders perform so badly these few years. There is no incentive to do so. You be ultimately be selected for ABs. The most important is don't get injured. :D Many of the...

    [2016 Super Rugby] Lions vs. Crusaders (QF) 23/07/2016

    Totally agreed!! Yet Crockett and Franks was selected in the June Internationals. I am shocked. I am keen to see how many players from Crusaders are selected for the Rugby championship. Based on their form on the weekend. Many should not be selected

    [2016 Super Rugby] Lions vs. Crusaders (QF) 23/07/2016

    The result was expected. Crusaders has not improved the past few years. Blackadder has contributed nothing to this team. Very disappointing.

    Welcome Eddie.

    Just saw this news from the New Zealand Herald "Jones said the Super rugby expansion had diluted the competition standards and increasing the number of Australian teams was "the worst decision the ARU ever made." He push so hard for a Japanese team but now he is contradicting himself

    Welcome Eddie.

    Last year, he fight for Japan to get a team into Super 15. And this is what he said "A joke that Singapore is even being considered as the base for the 18th Super Rugby team when Japan ticks all the right boxes for forward thinking,". Then he left them in a lurch and I understand now Japan...
