@SBW1 said in New Zealand is a top sporting nation for its size":

Really hoping we can finish the year strong. If we do we could indeed be in some respect compartive to the Flying Finns, whose achievements would be gold star for a smaller nation.

Jacomb is off the market now. Any word on who the Crusaders are after at 10? I assume that Reihana returns for another season?

Of all places, can see the Women's game going down really well over there.

'You shouldn't miss something as blatant as that': Why ex-All Black is unhappy with Papalii decision 'You shouldn't miss something as blatant as that': Why ex-All Black is unhappy with Papalii decision

Blues flanker Dalton Papalii was red carded in the 15-3 defeat to the Crusaders early in the second half but the sequence of events after the high shot has left ex-All Black John Kirwan scratching his head.

Whatever the options at first-five are, I'd like to see potential 10's actually play 10 for their franchise. Just not convinced constantly shuffling potential AB 10's around the backline helps the ABs much.
