@Daffy-Jaffy Gotta love that Harbour second row.

Drua 33 - 26 L A Rugby. Annoyingly it was live on Sky but I did not find out until I found the post match interviews while channel flipping from the sevens.

Some good tries, but fairly tough watch, a lot of basic handling errors. Probably be a replay anyway.

@Bovidae Blues best was Cole Forbes - From this Stuff article - . " and he started the 2025 pre-season with the best bronco time (4min 23sec) of the assembled players in December, 11sec shy of the New Zealand record held by his new team-mate, All Black Beauden Barrett, and Cam Roigard."

James Marshall interviewed the new Super Rugby CEO who talks about how he's going to make Super Rugby great again.
He talks about Fantasy Rugby which is already half a month behind its launch date. Not a good start but atleast the CEO is young as is looking at ways to innovate.

@mikedogz so they bloody should, that right there is 'canes country.
We never wanted them anyway. They, like @Nepia , just jumped our bandwagon after we won a couple of titles, and have been a millstone around our neck every since.
"... ever since."
Clutching at straws, Struggling to find anything else to refute in that post, as a Taranaki-born lad. -

Keep telling yourself that lie to make you feel better, but you know that success only came to the Chiefs when I joined ... with an assist by that Rennie fella.
