@TheMojoman is he a fluffybunny because he says things Australian fans want to hear and NZ fans don't?
NZRU are impressively arrogant - even in how they are running the All Blacks into the ground. I'd say they are the bigger fluffybunnies.
@Derpus hypothetically imagine the reaction in Australia for a second if Australia were hosting an all-Aussie Super Final and the week of the final Robinson had come out and said he wants to can Super Rugby Pacific. It was a dick move.
I have no love for Robinson. They are both fluffybunnies.
on paper youre right...but in my experience over here it probably wouldnt even be reported and if it was im not sure most people, even rugby people, who know who he was

There's a different between the average Australian and the Australian rugby community.
The rugby community would know and be annoyed. When I say 'the reaction in Australia' I mean the Australian rugby community - admittedly they are small/niche.

Yeah well part of that is the absolute corpse of a Super Rugby franchise that is the Melbourne Rebels. If they were even halfway solid a news story on Super Rugby would make more of a ripple.

@KiwiMurph i cant argue with that
i also feel there is a different vibe here because of it, the "rugby people" proper old mates with club blazers are more likely to care about their club than the rebels or super rugby, and it shows with things like rebels games overlapping with our club games...no talk from rugby vic of an earlier kick off so our guys could even get to the club rooms to watch...let alone to aami to watch

Cool we might get some good kits, rather than the generic across all teams crap we've had most years
Eh? We haven't had same across all teams stuff since 2012.
-
@Yeetyaah yes we have, every year there is the same template with different colours, you might not have noticed as the chiefs always seem to get about 12 x as much effort in their design as anyone else
2020 for example

Kiwi Super Rugby clubs could break ties with All Blacks sponsor
Since 1999, Adidas has been the apparel partner for all of New Zealand Rugby's teams.

Me too, despite the fact the idiots at RA can't even compile a survey on Surveymonkey properly.
