Why are they sticking with Christie? It seems odd.
Reason given is it's horses for courses and he's there for his D. Can only assume Schmidt and Foster ( and poss. Ryan) see something we don't.
Matt the dinosaur may provide some insight here. I have a feeling it's got a lot to do with the young stallion and a mare.

"Calculating the relief
You may claim a deduction of 40% of certain income arising in any 10 of the following years:- your year of retirement
- the preceding 14 years of assessment.
Qualifying income for relief
The tax relief applies to your earnings directly from participation in the sport only, such as wages or prize money. Any income you earned from items such as personal appearances, sponsorship or interviews does not qualify for tax relief." -

Oh it's definitely NZR. If we can't pay more, and as a country we define ourselves through our top sportspeople, why doesn't the government embrace professional athletes by offering them tax breaks to stay in the country. The All Blacks are our most recognised International brand, by a country mile, and are responsible for a huge slug of revenue coming into the country. Of course it would never happen, but there's certainly governmental opportunities to support our stars, not just actions NZR could take. It's definitely not Razor's problem to deal with, it just speaks volumes of the outmoded thinking in NZR. A lot more could be done to help develop the grass roots game as is being doing throughout Europe at the moment. Just look at what TNZ have done, I'm sure they didn't want to take the Cup offshore, but with little incentive here and as a commercial entity they didn't have a lot of choice if they wanted to keep winning. I think we will continue to struggle if we don't embrace how the world has changed and keep pace with it.
This is a great idea.
Tax breaks for top NZ sport team professionals, yes from me.
I didn't like the Silverlake dilution and perhaps this is another pathway.
Enhanced revenue for the country from seeing top players, yes.
Also everyone knows the continual shite occurring in the world. It's obvious to all the benefits to mental health and wellbeing being involved with sport including NZ rugby. Go World Cup, go All Blacks. -

Hard to know what to expect ,
a difficult arm wrestle wouldn’t surprise me, and a blow out like the France quarter in 15 wouldn’t surprise me either .

I like it how you're trying to make sure everyone knows we've got you to thank for making it to a semifinal, due to you buying a flight ticket for the same time.

So my daughter has a crush on Jordan. Which I can fully understand. She hopes he scores a try.

I want to see a lot of pick and goes up front to commit the Puma forwards, in addition to seeing a some good lines from our outside backs coming back against the line and again holding / commiting defenders... which should open up some space for our midfield.
Above all I just want to see a no frills (e.g. no, low percentage rubbish) , somewhat clinical performance.
About the relief
