Every Taranaki rugby supporter I know support the Hurricanes. They all live in the Waikato so there is some good banter.

@mikedogz so they bloody should, that right there is 'canes country.

We never wanted them anyway. They, like @Nepia , just jumped our bandwagon after we won a couple of titles, and have been a millstone around our neck every since.

"... ever since."
Clutching at straws, Struggling to find anything else to refute in that post, as a Taranaki-born lad.

Keep telling yourself that lie to make you feel better, but you know that success only came to the Chiefs when I joined ... with an assist by that Rennie fella.

"Joined"

The shame

Highlanders did it in my first season of switching. The fucking highlanders. I'll probably be open to offers after this season.

Reds up 42-14 at half-time v a Bristol B team. Gotta wonder about the value of all that travel just to play a one sided mis-match game.

Yeah nah

Bristol are without their internationals, and with injuries they have about 20 absent. They are also playing a game the next day, so this was basically an academy team. Reds were full strength, even if first game of the season

It doesn't say that on the picture. No mention other than the home side being the Bristol Bears so to the casual observer it is the best team they could field on the day. Not Queensland's fault Bristol accepted a game when they knew they would be below full strength and still calling their team as the Bristol Bears and not Bristol Bear Development XV. Queensland did right by giving them an utter flogging.
