Is there any common sense to this AB resting policy?
Supposedly the ABs are meant to miss 2 games but Mo'unga missed games at the start of the season on a break of at least 2 games, meanwhile Laulala just had 2 weeks off due to suspension and now he's also on an AB rest week?

wait. what?
How on earth is this even a decent possibility? A team from a competition played exclusively in Australasia/Pacific (ish) made up of players exclusively from NZ is going to develop a global brand? Especially in a niche minority sport like rugby?
The ABs one i can kind of understand. Kind of.
This gobbelty gook makes no sense. The fuck am i missing?
Well ManU became huge in Asia for a while...
You can't compare the most visible football league in the world with Super Rugby....
It was a subtle joke
Bloody hell, nice shot that……in an MMA fight.
Players get banned for heaps longer for heaps less these days.

Do you know where you can find all the previous rounds?
-
@kiwi_expat They're all posted on the official website. I don't think there was one for round 1, btw.

Out of curiosity is their a thread or location that lists all the injured or unavailable players per team? It appears there are a lot of players injured and it would be interesting to see which teams have been impacted the most. You could almost make an injured 15 to see just how many people are unavailable.

@Machpants hope my Landers can make the eight , although the Force are a steady chance as they have a game in hand..
I think the canes and landers will make the 8, then be out straight away. Pointless number of teams, they are nowhere near good enough to go any further, sadly

it's not pointless, it generates meaningless games that fill the airwaves and generate revenue, both TV and ticket sales.
But from a rugby perspective spot on, pointless

@booboo said in Hurricanes v Reds:
I'm kind of worried that we rate ourselves (NZ teams) so highly and Aus teams so low.
But I've said that before and results continue to be one sided.
Just reminder.
Pride comes before a fall.
Think our teams have misunderestimated ( ) the Ockers.

@chimoaus the ward XV Moody, Coles, Isi tu'ungafasi, Selby Rickit, Strange, Frizell, Flanders, Iose, Nock, Ioane, Stevenson, ALB, Wrampling, Nanai Seturo, Love
That team could challenge a few sides no doubt, seems the Chiefs have been hit hard in the backs.

Further ... I'm thinking our top XVs are better than theirs (not unbeatably so, but all things being equal), but our depth or lack thereof due to Exodus, is being exposed.
fair.
Losses had a few second stringers -- but let's see results in a few weeks Some of the depth doesn't look strong at all
