Wellington v Canterbury should be a good game. I'd like to see Wellington take it out, Shame the Mighty BoP couldn't keep up their winning run. Maybe next year :)

Anyone know what time the AB's v Wales game is on? I'll be at the airport on Saturday night, might be something to do whilst waiting for our flight.

New NPC Format released

From http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/provincial/3173109/NZRU-announces-new-competition-structure

 Next year will feature a full 14-team round robin with semifinals and a final, the same format as 2009. But in 2011, a new structure will see the 14 teams split into two divisions of seven, based on their on-field finishing positions in 2010.

The top seven teams will form the Premiership and the bottom seven teams the Championship. Teams will play all other teams in their division plus four other teams from the other division.

The NZRU said there would be an "innovative" new process for teams to select their cross-division opponents, with the detail to be finalised in the first quarter next year.

The winner of the Championship will receive automatic promotion to the Premiership, replacing the seventh placed team in the Premiership, which will be relegated to the Championship.


Looks not a bad idea

I thought the Blues did alright - Wellington just did a better job of pacing themselves, so they had more juice in the tank in the second half (22 unanswered points is testament to that).

The Canes look dangerous though. They'll be right in the mix.

I have to say the weekends games were really enjoyable and i think the rules have really made the game better

It was hard to understand at first but i think once the players adapted it was quite good

good to see most teams attacking with the ball in hand when they had the opportunity

Anyone see the Wales V Scotland 6 nations game? epic finish!

I can't see the down side for the NZRFU on this deal.I doubt they would have paid him huge money for 18 months and if he fails no big loss.If he tears the place up and kicks on to the Ab's then all good for the World Cup.Oh one down side if it turns into another SBW circus but I don't think NZ rugby fans will put up with that shit anyway.

Won't go Canes - Nonu and Smith are there.

Money is on Crusaders tbh, most successful team and without an incumbent/hopeful AB second five/centre. That and playing outside Carter helps.

On his dad's side and was born & raised in New Zealand. Pretty sure that doesn't come under Samoan otherwise 50% of the country would be another nationality :\

Take a look at the nz maori team, if you want to see how peoples nationalities are considered for rugby selection. All the same, haden never said what % islander you had to be to qualify. Maybe if we could see that magic book of rules of his.

Yea i got what you meant. But haden has clarified, in regards to his comment, that he meant only pacific islanders. So dark skinned maoris don't come inside the quota. Not to mention, who monitors the cutoff into going from a normal person, into a darkie.

All the same, I don't know why are even talking about this tho. I am sure cantab will take (or be forced to) SBW, if he wants to play for them. I think hes got the best chance there, since that seems like a place which really puts the emphasis on team rather than superstars like the blues and the canes.

On another note, Canterbury chasing Dagg and Thompson. Canterbury rugby, whilst successful, is rather detrimental to the NZ rugby scene imo. Massive player drain into them to the negative effect of the rest of the unions.

I think thats what you meant to say. Anyone whos any good in highlanders will be going to cantab, if they had the chance. The highlanders best use, is testing out young players from other regions, to see how good they will be. As soon as they prove themselves, they are usually back to their home union. The blues/canes sometimes feel it, but they generally have quite a few players spare, and being the capital and biggest city, it isn't hard to attract more players.

Post by: Zenith on June 12, 2010, 09:20:54 pm
Concerns about out defence it seems to me vs Ireland. They had our measure for the second half with 1 man less.
We did sub a lot of new players in however. Bit hard to gauge how well we are playing. Israel Dagg looks promising. And the new Whitelock with 2 trys.
Good spirit by Ireland (except for the guy in with his knee and the red card and ruined the contest)
We did look crisp with a low error rate in the first half.
GG Carter with goal kicking and getting 1000 test points and now third highest scorer

Post by: toofast on June 12, 2010, 11:05:37 pm
That was such a shitty game. Turned it off after the first half. Came back at 60 minutes, and watched the rest. Poor grade stuff really. I mean the kneeing was ridiculous. The all blacks continually playing with ball on their line (to be fair they were 30+ ahead) really took any importance out of the game. Dagg was sharp. Smith brilliant. Carter classy. Other than that not too much to say. All the debutants in the forward pack were good, i though rokocoko was hungry coming in, when the ball really didn't go out to the wings, but i didn't really pay too much attention to the scrums and such.

All the same, with fifa wc on, i don't think anyone really cares too much about the abs atm. Such a low key build up in the media.

Also the defence really wasn't an issue, when you are pushing that many passes, you concede tries. Even on the goal line, didn't look like their mind was really on the task. People might say you need to show solidness even when you are running rampant, but thats just shit. The game opens up, you got a massive lead, just run the ball and have fun. I wouldn't take anything from this game, which the commentators reminded us about 20 times, was 14 vs 15 men.

On a side note, commenators say such utter garbage sometimes. Like when o'drisical got the ball at the start, and they were like " look at him go, he is such a ellusive runner", when he was just running behind his own defence.
Title: Re: Rugby - This, That and Everything
Post by: Mr_St1nky on June 12, 2010, 11:30:21 pm
I think there was a different attitude to the game when the ABs come out with the second half which was all about blooding the newbies.

Dagg was outstanding, he showed line-breaking abilities. Nearly everyone of his highlights involved him breaking the line and getting a good pass-off to put a man into space.

As for the game, once the send off happened then the sin-bin it was all over. Was very disappointing to see them switch off however, because do that in the tri-nations and the world cup (attention to France here especially) and you find yourself well behind. Would like to have seen them stay switched on and put a total up to challenge the Japan score or at least keep Ireland scoreless for that motivation on defence for the future against teams where you really need the confidence on defence.
Title: Re: Rugby - This, That and Everything
Post by: SteddieEddie on June 13, 2010, 10:19:31 am
Hard to read to much into the second half as we were so far ahead.

Dagg's début was the best I have seen from an All Black for a long time, outstanding
Title: Re: Rugby - This, That and Everything
Post by: xpertz on June 13, 2010, 11:30:18 am
Good game. You could see the intestity with the All Blacks dropped off after we were 30 points ahead (which is normal). If it was a closer game initially I'm sure Ireland wouldn't have scored that many points.

In short AllBlacks dominated. Scored 66 points which is 3 points more than thier previous record which is awesome!

Much better performance tonight. A bit slow out of the blocks but held the Welsh out when they were pumped and hitting the line hard. The Welsh rush defence was problematic in the first half but as the Welsh tired the gaps opened up. Will definitely need to watch this v South Africa who have played a flat/rush defence us in the past.

Allblacks played well. Good defence, Corey at fullback was the best call of the night.

Post by: Zenith on June 20, 2010, 02:11:46 pm

Guilford is nothing really. Finishes tries and thats about it. Rokocoko can atleast create stuff. But i think cory jane is better than both of them. I wonder what ranger will do tho. Hes a bit erractic for test rugby, so i was surprised he was picked. Dagg is another guy who could be out on the wings, if mills goes back to fb.

Nonu used to be once upon a time, now he's the fucking man. I wonder if Ranger can be fixed.

I still think there are better number 12s then nonu. Nonu is a line breaker, who has built up an ok passing game over time. I still think toevea, if he ever sorts out his fumbling hands, would be a much better player. He has speed, step and fend needed to break the line, but is a much better distributor, and kicker than nonu. Also McAlister, if he ever gets a good run of football, could also be good enough to take the number 12 jersey. I think even dagg could be a good number 12, given the chance.

On ranger, he needs a space in the blues team first. He was hardly first pick in the team, he just got in on a injury chance, and made the most of his chances. I mean if he wants to play in the wings, he will have to beat out wulf and Tuitavake, who are no slouches (assuming joe gets the other wing slot). I can't see him make it in the centres, because its already a jam up as it is.

Ranger has made his mark, he is a player who can play any wing and centre.
Strong, straight runner, mean defence, great offloads and reasonable amount of pace.

He's the most standout back in the ITM cup atm

I think they have picked him for a "steady as she goes" backup option.But I think we have to give X factor players more game time before the world cup.Donald = no x factor. If he had to start a world cup finals game he would be only slightly less nervous than the whole country. He just does not have what it takes at test level IMO.I hope he proves me wrong. I hope DC does not get injured

I can't see why in the world they picked donald, outside wanting consistency. Hes a player who will never be good at the top level. While brett, who can be prone to mistakes, atleast has the potential to be good at the top level. I still can't figure why he didn't come to auckland, when he came into the blues. It would of made a lot more sense, and helped his career more then being slotted behind slade and carter.

Atleast henry will learn his lesson. A. Never take carter off  B. never bring donald on.

Also bringing on toeava early wasn't that great. But atleast toeava had the excuse of being out of rugby for a while, and playing out of position. Also beale is insanely fast.

Boggles the mind why toeava wasn't playing at 2nd five tho. Donald plus nonu was just asking for trouble, since nonu doesn't kick, and donald is donald.

I am starting to think henry has been hanging out with the pakistani cricketers.

Jesus fucken wept - it wasn't all Donald's fault. Maybe take a look at the shit defence that went with it. Toeava (the biggest joke in an AB jersey since Colin Farrell) missed TWO tackles, not one. He was directly responsible for both the tries the Wallabies scored to win the game, yet Henry and co keep picking the useless bastard. And don't give me any bullshit about "he hadn't played for a while" - ffs, why was he picked if he wasn't up to it?

Frankly, i'm glad the Wallabies won and i hope it continues. There is something rotten in the Kingdom of Rugby and it will only be exorcised when the AB's lose the World Cup next year and Henry, Hansen, Smith, Tew and all the rest of those fuckers are taken out and shot. They have ruined the game here and we have felt their influence for FAR TOO LONG.

Toeava missed one tackle (when he wasn't marking far enough across), the second one however was beale just beating him with his pace, which is what happens when you pick the ball straight to the autralian back 3. You talk about defense, but if it wasn't for donald's horrible tactical kicking (lets grubber kick from our 22), we wouldn't of played the last 10-20 min in our own 22.

Lap it up boys - i haven't seen anything yet that didn't remind me of why Henry LOST the last World Cup. In fact, he didn't just lose it, he had the worst result of ANY AB coach at a World Cup. Even John "is that a carrot up my arse" Hart did better.

Henry, by his own admission, picked his strongest side. They were playing for a world record number of victories and they CHOKED. Just like they did in 07. The same old demons came back to haunt them - a shocking lineout, a lack of commitment to defence, an inability to close out a game that they were well in control of.

And then there's the arrogance of the coaching staff - the untouchables, the "judge me by the world cup" brigade who refuse to believe that there's anything wrong. In Canute like fashion they are trying to play fluffy-bunny rugby of the "we'll score more tries than the opposition" style. It's NEVER worked in a World Cup before and it won't next year.

Of course when we lose 1 game Tofu will song and dance, you can go through the last 3 years of his posts about rugby, and pretty much all of them are based on hatred for Henry.

He wants them to lose as he doesn't like Henry, as I said, he must of caned him at school.

The truth is Tofu wants them to fail so he can feel better about himself and think hes right, but at the end of the day he is just a stuck up prick that has a chip on his shoulder about the coaches so pretty much won't support the team.

Even if Tofu was the coach and we lost all the games, I'd still support them instead of jumping ship or wishing they would lose.

What is Gatland going to throw on the super man undies and run the whole show? You said you wanted to throw out the whole shooting match and your answer to stop the rot is Gatland. So Tew and the rest of them go, who is going to run the NZRFU? What exactly is the rot you speak of.The only answer you give me is Gatland.Who's going to coach the team while he finishes his five year contract with Wales? Or do you want him to jump ship to us so you can bag him for that if he loses one match in a season?

Will be interesting to see. SBW has done some great things in the ITM, but is still learning things like defensive lines etc. His offload skills could be game breaking. Lets just hope he keeps his head and leaves shoulder charges for league ;)

I want him to do well, he is a amazing sportsman
Title: Re: Rugby - This, That and Everything
Post by: SteddieEddie on November 05, 2010, 12:19:20 pm
When we had Umanga and Nonu in the mid field it didn't really work as they were both cut from the same cloth, could be the same with SBW and Nonu they both run at the defense and then off load.

Smith creates gaps then either glides through or puts Nonu through.

Still saying that I am looking forward to seeing how they go
Title: Re: Rugby - This, That and Everything
Post by: frankytanky on November 05, 2010, 12:42:31 pm
I am really looking forward to this, from what I have read so far the english seem to be preoccupied with williams. If he fronts and plays a destructive role with a killer offload then he will draw defence creating gaps. If he does not but instead becomes a distruburter or decoy we will still have the benefit of drawing both midfield defenders (is is so obvious that the english will play this way) still creating gaps.
This is why Lomu was good against the english. To them he was a god and he completely mind fucked them, besides his balance and ability to keep his feet, he could draw many defenders leading to alot of tries to wilson and cullen. I am picking that if bill fires so will jo, mils and the mexican chap, there will be alot of room out wide.

Then again, they might rumble it up in a massive maul all game and make it completely boring "cos thats how test rugby should be" toff toff toff.

PS i would pick smith over sbw anyday, but i read he had a hamstring strain (maybe just rumor to get sbw in)

interesting, no comments. My thoughts....sonny bob had a good solid debut, had a good couple of touches in the first half, one bung pass at the start of the 2nd half then very quiet for the rest of the game. My thoughts were he would freeup space on the outside, and that did happen, jo and hosea had massive games, they had miles of space to work with. Dunno about carter getting man of the match, he didnt do much wrong, but he also wasnt blindingly fantastic, just typical consistant carter. Kaino wasnt do much wrong, he just did the same thing twice and paid for it. I am picking mealamu to be suspended, same deal as the occer got for doing it to our guy.

A bit of niggle in the test.We played quite poorly especially in the second half.England played better than i have seen for years.We still won but Stephen Jones from the telegraph will still tell us we didn't.

Sonny bill williams eh. Really had a big game last night. Well all of the backline did. It will be a tough battle to get a spot on the starting line up, with so many players in good form.

Glad we put a decent amount of points on the Scottish.

Oh my goodness. didn't the ABs play like shite! Toeava was crap, Williams showed why they asked him to leave League, even Carter and McCaw were subbed off because they were so atrocious. The tacklers couldn't tackle, the passers couldn't pass, the kickers just kicked themselves even though the Scots buckled more than Tofu's wife does when he mounts her.

Post by: toofast on August 23, 2011, 05:11:03 pm
gear > guildford. I notice henry's reasoning was that guildford does more off the ball. Which is pretty ridiculous, since you pick your wings for their lightning pace, and ability to beat players, which gear delivers in both categories. Not going to matter too much, since i think toeava/dagg will have the wings on lock down, if mills is at fullback.

Wasn't really surprised with Gear not making the squad, he hasn't really done much in the AB's in the past few games and rarely went looking for work like the other wingers. Hopefully Wepu is starting at 9 as Jimmy seems a little slugish off the back of rucks and fuck he has no pace.

Yea man disappointed he has been injured and hasn't really had the game time. SBW hasn't done fuck all in the AB's this year and has really looked out of place and a bit lost. Gets the occasional great offload but hasn't looked the threat that he has in the past or that of Nonu. Hopefully he lifts his game a little more.

Coach Robbie Deans immediately suspended practice while police were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, experts determined that the white substance unknown to players was the TRY LINE. Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again!...GO THE ALL BLACKS!

Wallabies deserved to win, purely because they actually sent their best teams out for this competition. Its ridiculous both SA and NZ can send B teams out, and nobody cares. Only silver lining i see from this game, is henry will finally drop guildford/jane, and start playing their two best utility backs (toeava and dagg). I mean if they continue to persist with playing nonu and smith in the centres, and forcing DC to be the only kicker, atleast have the option of having other guys being able to slot into second five, when they are on defense.

Beautiful game plan from the All Blacks, deliberatly hold off on all aspects of the game in the 1st half so we could practice our ability to come back in the second. Then let them through for a try to take the game leaving the Aussies with a false sense of security and hope for the RWC. A masterstroke by the three wise men, and our captain, and our mole MR Deans in the middle of the aussie camp. Bring on the RWC.

The All Blacks will beat Tonga in the opening match, but will get slammed and lose possibly 3 players for the rest of the RWC. We will just lose to France but make it through pool play to fall in the quarter finals due to, mainly, lack of covering players, a large injury list and a rigid game, not helped by a skipper who can't motivate his team.

I'd have liked to see them change the game plan on the field in the first half, when it was obvious to everyone else in NZ that it wasn't working too well.

It reminded me too much of that drop kick they never took.

They couldn't have changed a flat tyre in the 1st half.

They must of gotten a huge fucking serve at halftime. Was a disgraceful 1st half.

If anyone thinks the knee from Cooper was an isolated event should take a look - there's history between these two:

Well, there is fuck all excitement in this thread for the world cup, glad we didn't start a world cup thread eh.

Anyone going? I'm seeing the SA V Wales game on Sunday, must admit, finally I am getting into it.

Nervous times ahead.

Someone is making a killing off those Tongan and Samoan flags in Auckland .
I am pretty excited about the comp but the ticket pricing was way out of my league. $135 for the cheap seats at AB's vs Tonga.A couple of my mates flagged tickets and used the money to buy new TVs. I am going down to the cloud to take in a game and a band at some stage.Might as well make the  most of it while its on.

Not the expected team for the opener-


Israel Dagg, Richard Kahui, Ma'a Nonu, Sonny Bill Williams, Isaia Toeava, Dan Carter, Jimmy Cowan, Victor Vito, Richie McCaw (capt), Jerome Kaino, Ali Williams, Brad Thorn, Owen Franks, Andrew Hore, Tony Woodcock. Reserves: Corey Flynn, Ben Franks, Anthony Boric, Sam Whitelock, Piri Weepu, Colin Slade, Cory Jane

Be interesting how they go though.Could be devastating if Nonu and SBW gel in the midfield.

I really like the team myself, bit of size out on the wings. I actually like Kahui on the wing as well

Looks like there are a lot of players who are gonna be getting some game time in

Im glad they have gone with an almost 100% full strength side

If there is a few upsets in the first couple of rounds there could be some hell games going on. Pool scoring system is the sane as super 15 so Bonus points might come into play.

Those Pumas are a well coached side!

They will be a real force in a few years

Post by: Equity on September 11, 2012, 11:56:50 am
I dont think they will, not until they have a more professional domestic competition that can bring players through. From what I understand, correct me if Im wrong, the only professional rugby players are the pumas, the national team, no one else gets paid and they all have day jobs. Pretty hard to improve / recognise / bring forth new talent without the support there...

This and as Hansen said Savea has been busting his gut to get up to AB standards so he needs to refresh

The Crusaders haven't won since the Canterbury ITM cup team began their streak. I'm just hoping the highlands have a better year.
