@canefan it must be pride, dont want it to look like we're just copying good ideas from other codes...and so we do ugly bastardised versions
Isn't that case with everything, or are some here gullible enough to think Dally M or whatever wasn't copied from Hart Memorial trophy or something.
I actually like rugby's one much better where opposition captain and coach pick the points, you know the ones who are actually out there and know who are the players doing damage, not just the highlight boys! Genuinely think it best way of picking them if you going to have points etc. -
just saw this posted, thought quite a cool training Tshirt, the different strips looks like they represent the different PU's, not showing up on their club shop or anything, nice and simple idea, wouldnt be a bad away jersey

@Kiwiwomble believe it's on Champions of the World

I simply don't see it with Taele - he's too small to be an international midfielder

here's me thinking the offical shops would have everything
how do champions get offical gear the the offical shop doesnt haveno pic loading on champions for me so cant even have a look
-
@Kiwiwomble yeah the champions website has been shambles for ages. The official Chiefs store has less than Sports Safari.

Very entertaining matches
Lovely skills, great set plays
Tackling optional

Usually a lot of defensive lapses in the first round.
By round three it will have tightened up a lot.

I only saw the highlights, but yeah some of the tries were pretty soft. Am sure there was plenty of decent goal line defence throughout the game, but the teams didn't seem to have to work very hard to score when in 10 metres.
Or maybe I'm just accustomed to 6N rugby

So, I thought with this new centralised body to run Super that marketing etc was all going to be better than it has been previously?
But, I didn't even know the comp was starting until reading threads on here this week. I'm more avid a fan than most so how are the general public hearing about the comp?
Maybe it's just an Aussie thing and it was more heavily promoted in NZ?
-
@Nepia All over social media and national news/rasdio have been reporting on it for a few weeks. Could have been promoted more but there’s definitely been an effort made.
If you don’t use social media or watch sports news/radio(not saying you don’t)then I guess you’d struggle to find out these days. Their main push was socials. The new way of the world.

It's round 1 after a shorter preseason this year. A bit of perspective please.

https://mumbrella.com.au/super-rugby-picks-lead-creative-agency-ahead-of-2025-season-864405
The Super Rugby Pacific, New Zealand Rugby, and Rugby Australia have appointed Game Creative as their lead creative agency as they prepare to enter the 2025 rugby union season. This is the first of several new business wins for the agency since its launch in August last year, following founder Dan Beaumont’s departure from The Royals in July. Hitting the ground running, Game Creative has already developed and launched the 2025 campaign, ‘The Power of the Pacific’, which champions the energy, culture, and unique spirit that makes rugby union the most powerful sporting code across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific. -
Btw, one thing that NZR have ABSOLUTELY nailed is their content on YouTube.
I watch YouTube far more than I watch/use any other app or form of media and they always have content popping up on there. Over Christmas I watched a ton of old All Black matches.

Oh, one question, is super rugby merch easily available in Auckland/Wellington? Like you can easily get a Blues/Canes hat or something basic without going to some niche shop way off the beaten path?

Rebel Sport will do those, relevant to the area, so yep. There used to be a shop on main street in Welly, but not sure anymore. Auckland main streets are dead and full of shit, avoid.
