    What a messy performance but hopefully the kick in the pants they need before the semis. Will be interesting to see if Rotorua or Tauranga get the Semi. I'm hoping we get Manawatu instead of Taranaki but after last night a win against either is not a guarantee.

    How has Alaimalo being playing? I only saw some of Southland's first game against Northland and haven't seen them since.

    @Bovidae Looked very good, last night. Strong lad, fast (for a forward) and excellent work rate. Promising. Definitely, someone to keep an eye on.

    @Stargazer I note he was moved to no.8 for the recent games.

    I hope Charles stays in the Waikato/Chiefs system and ironically he would have probably got an opportunity with Waikato with the injury to Seu and unavailability of Jacobson. A year of playing M10 Cup will be good for his development.

    @Bovidae I'm sure he'll jump at the opportunity to come to Waikato if offered as his brother is fully based in The Tron.

    I feel that Alaimalo is a bit lightweight at this stage of his career. He could probably do with another year on loan at Southland. Needs to bulk up imo.

    Was at quiz night and sounds like it was a good game to miss. On the bright side we won the quiz.

    Name 10 All Blacks to play 90 or more matches. (Tests and non-tests). I got 10 and I'm sure you will too!

    Not in order:
    McCaw, Mealamu, Franks, Woodcock, S Whitelock, Muliaina, Read, Nonu, C Smith, Carter.

    All centurions I think? Maybe not Conrad....

    Good pub question.

    @Snowy all post-2000, too. Shows how many tests we play - Sir Colin was an absolute dead set legend for playing almost a third of what McCaw did.

    The stature of McCaw grows the longer he's away from the game, too. To see that many tests in that physical position is remarkable

    Good pub question.

    It says matches so plenty of players from the amateur era played over 90 games too. Meads, for example, played 133 games in total. That would be a better quiz question to ask for players pre-2000.

    @Bovidae Yeah. Tend to forget how many non tests were played in the good ol' days of tours.

    Yep if you pick any of the older players who played 50 tests you'd be fairly safe
