The Tew article has been picked up by the Sneering Pommy media brigade the response is as expected.
We rape the islands etc, so only getting what we deserve ... we don't get irony etc etc.
You didn't suss that the press were being ironic?

Disappointed that the NZRU have chosen to go with a Premiership club in a club-run competition.
It’s been my view that alliances and collaboration should be happening between union run clubs and competitions. This is the NZRU supping with the devil. Hope they’ve brought a long spoon.

But that idea of the English and French clubs being the Devil really only relates to their relationships with their own unions. For the NZRFU I don’t see that they would see any differential between the clubs and say the provinces.

I meant it ironically. Wait. What?

@catogrande it'd be like if you had 10,000 spoons and all you need was a knife, but then the next day, you needed a spoon but only had a knife, surely that'd be ironic?
-
@taniwharugby so now I’m having irony explained by a Kiwi. Now that is, well ironic really.

So question with this deal in place with the Harlequins. Would it be safe to assume that the Harlequins are the only team NZR could strike a deal with in the English Premiership? Therefore that would be a key benefit for the Harlequins - they can't sign NZ based players long term (e.g. greater than 2 years) - but they are the preferred choice (in that particular competition) if NZ based players want to get some cash.
NZR would strike similar deals with teams in other competitions - especially the French one..... -

Yes you’re right.
I withdraw my remark.
