have to say im surprised to see a couple of our forwards in the list (also saw regan listed in someone elses team of the week) given how the general consensus was out forwards were light weight
also hilarious that Nareki made the team of the week but rugby pass also did a Top Five of the week and Garden-Bachop made it and nareki didn't

@kiwiwomble Rugbypass are a strange bunch with their ridiculous player ratings system. I don't trust anything they write about players' performances, least of all any form of ranking.

@stargazer ...apart from when they say the Highlanders are good...i agree

Aotearoa Team of Round 1: Have the Crusaders unearthed another All Blacks midfielder?
The Crusaders were perhaps the best performing team in Super Rugby Aotearoa for round one of 2021 - but who features in RugbyPass' composite side?
This team of the week is a bit better. It still has McLeod at 12 though
Thats the problem when there's only 4 people playing a position a week. It's easy for none of them to be particularly good. I would have leaned towards Plummer by default because the other guys negatives were higher

@nzzp Yes, it has changed. I think this is the new rugby programme on Sky (in addition to games):
Sunday, 8.30pm: Rugby Nation
Monday, 8.30pm: Breakdown
Tuesday, 8.30pm: Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Tuesday, 10.00pm: Rugby Heaven Live (about Rugby AU)
Wednesday, 8.30pm: Playmakers (Justin Marshall with a special guest, this week Robbie Deans)
Wednesday, 9.00pm: Rugby Stories Throwback (an old game discussed in the programme Playmakers, this week Crusaders v Waratahs 2002) -

I don't think I'll ever take anything rugbypass has to offer seriously after reading the players to watch and team of the week stories.
You've just come to this conclusion now? Did you never come across their Super rugby rankings?

Are they even local writers? I won't use "journalist".
I only read the occasional RugbyPass article posted here, but I am not familiar with the majority of the names.

@nepia This is the first I've come across them.
Really? They've been frequently posted on here.
Haven't noticed any of their dross previously.

Number 5 seems out of place, did they mix him up with Prinsep?

Grand Final Winner-Super Rugby Aotearoa 2021
Crusaders
2.00Blues
3.00Chiefs
9.00Hurricanes
9.50Highlanders
14.00Those odds are not in the slightest bit realistic. The TAB bookmakers could easily quote the Hurricanes at 950000.00 and would not lose any sleep even if a million dollar bet came in for the Hurricanes.

Same for Chiefs or landers, Crusaders or maybe blues
