Blues Moondogs should be tonight honestly.

Reds and Blues really got fucked in their early season schedule

y-yeah that's why they're losing haha

Is that future starting All Black fullback Damien McKenzie?

You just know the media/casual fans are going to look at his highlights package + run meter stats (no mention of turnovers, intercepts and missed tackles) and demand he start for the ABs again.

I picked Blues and Reds 13+

Reds have a chance of winning a game off of scrum penalties though. Blues best hope is that Retallick is being rested when they play the Chiefs.

Seriously though, how did Tana and Leon manage to end up with SBW, Faiane and Nonu at 2nd five without a centre to get them ball? Nothing at all has changed after all the promises has it.

Losing Tumua Manu from the Auckland NPC squad was criminal, especially when he only got four starts for the Blues in 2018, and only managed to win the championship paired with Faiane. That and playing Ioane at 12 for most of 2018 really should have seen Umaga sacked, it's starting to look like jobs for the boys at the Blues.

>matt damo- i mean brad shields

I fucking hate you all!

Is Jones doing this as a hint to stop kicking so much possession away and go through a few more phases by removing a kicker? When is Cips going to play? When is Hartley and Ashton our two best players back? Is Jo Launsbury going to play himself into the team?

cia are trying to rile them up to create race and political wars, you cant roll out a police state after your fake economy has crashed, it just looks bad

>an italy team that has held a full-strength scotland
?? The jocks gave Italy 3 tries after they knew they'd won and sent on all their subs, and went into the 6n with a massive injury list in the first place, it just got worse past the first round.
Nah, England could play a majority second string team and still do fine, Jones knows we need the bp.

>Is Jones doing this as a hint to stop kicking so much possession away and go through a few more phases by removing a kicker?
Presumably if that's what he wanted he could just tell them to kick less. You know, being the coach and all.

Don’t get technical

They already hit their yearly 6 Nations target of beating Italy and are now going back to making a fucking mockery of themselves for the rest of the championship

Not to sound arrogant but I really can't see how they'll beat us. Usually it's the hurr our exciting rugby bullshit, but Hogg is central to all that. Plus like you said, Russell fucks up more often than not.

Chiefs have won the championship twice though. You don't axe a top team because of a few bad games. Just how much of a casual are you? Maybe all that onions sauce has softened your brain.

great post

can sanzaar stop fucking everything up for one minute

I think YOU are the cassie not recognising the Singalad.

I recognise him and dismiss his stupid opinions as i've always done, dickhead.

You reckon its good for your heart to be this angry all the time?

let me get this right, your comeback is literally u mad?

Not him but yes you are mad

>a few bad games
Losing to the Sunwolves at home is more than just a "bad" game. In any case right now Sunwolves have more justification to stay around than Chiefs do.

This weekend the Blues could potentially suffer this too. Though I'd rather no team get axed at all.

>not him but
and a samefag, yikes

Nice positive start to the weekend lads.
Good stuff.

>yikes
Reddit.

If only Sanzar could just bring back the Force and make SR a round robin tournament (making teams play 15 games instead of the 16 they're doing now). Obviously since Sanzar are hooked on (((conferences))) that will never happen but it would still be better than cutting a kiwi team.

I wish it didn't get patched. It made matches more fun.

Ffs looks like it's up to the glorious crusaders to save nz rugby, again

Chiefs look awful
Hurrs look awful
Blues look awful
Landers and poosaders look very ordinary
NZ might not even win SR, let alone the WC

diabolical kicking

Reds look awful
Brumbies, Tards look ordinary
R*b*ls look slightly better
Based Moondogs look elite

that's more like it

World League can only work if both 6N conference and RC conference both have pro-rel playoffs, and it takes place over a two year period instead of one. Of course, I'm also assuming that World League must go through; obviously it'll be better if it didn't. Unfortunately, this has the implication that if 6N does implement pro-rel, World League will almost definitely proceed. And the implications that a World League will have on the Americas Rugby Championship and the Pacific Nations Cup have not even been touched on. Perhaps they'll be merged, or even dissolved. And what of World Cup qualifying for second division teams? Plus it cheapens all international matches played outside of the world league, Lions tour and World Cup.

Anyway. Suppose the first iteration starts after the 2023 World Cup. Then it'll run
from 2024 to 2025. 6N and RC both count towards the final score. Each team also plays three teams in the other conference in June 2024, and the other three in November 2024. The playoffs will then only be held next year, in November 2025 due to the Lions tour in June. Then for 2026 and 2027 it's the same thing except that the playoffs are held in June 2027 instead due to the World Cup later on.

For the playoffs I do believe a one-off match on a neutral ground will suffice, but World Rugby will prefer a semi-final before that, with the conference leaders hosting their matches. Maybe with a 3rd place playoff for the losers. At the same time, the two legged pro-rel playoffs for each conference takes place. Other international matches may also take place if desired.

But fuck it, there are so many problems with the World League. If it must happen, hopefully it'll take power away from the European clubs.

NZ might not win the WC, depends how many non-crusaders are picked

Was a bit freaky because we were heading back at around 4 and the cops were using our street as their staging point, four full vans with big guns and dudes in gear knocking back cans of red bull. Went out a bit later and half of the protesters were just sitting around at the pub. One of them even had a jacket for his dog.

People apparently prefer it if international matches actually meant something other than world ranking spots. And by people I mean the many casuals who World Rugby wants to sway towards rugby.

At the very least, the UEFA Nations League in divegrass doesn't seem to have diluted the prestige of the Euros, so World Rugby might have been inspired to replicate that formula worldwide.

Not allowed to pick since the match started but put my guesses for the rest of the weekend

what if the unthinkable happens again tmrw

maddox takes a pass out wide and runs through a massive gap, rebels now 13-19
brumbies didnt even really try to stop him coming back towards the posts so cooper has an easier job

reversed the direction of the game completely, leading to a Melbourne try no less

The shinydoggies game?

Yes.

brumbies mightve lost either momentum or a try cause he doesnt want to accept he's infallible

I guess the precedent is the WC SA game
teams will have recalculated by now

Alright I've narrowed it down to 3 matches, that Australia might have match fixed.

Vs Samoa in 2011
vs Scotland in 2012
vs Argentina in 2014

these are the only ones where Australia would be the favourite, where they went on to lose. I strongly suspect it was the Argentina game.

Great written commentary btw m8

people forget genia, and quade were the best 9 and 10 in the world, for about 18 months once.

I went to the Samoa and Scotland games, they were the most disappointing things I've ever seen (except the Lions game i went to... in fact it's quite a long list). I hope one was fixed so I can launch a class action suit.

kek was that the third test? I went to the Reds one and they put up a better fight

>33 - 7

yiiiiikes

A point a minute still on the cards this half

Why is Chefes playing like Azuis today?

what happened to the chiefs
they werent this shit last year

You don't have to pick your team at all, but looking at the team lineups they were all winnable games. The game in SA was Meads Cup tier from the Blues, but I reckon they've got an even worse performance in them.

Half Time Hamilton Wife Beating Jokes?

hope you guys werent delirious enough to pick the Blues over the Sunwolves

Brutal lowlights package for memekenzie hahahaha

Absolutely dire, what happened to the Chief's defence?

it was always kind of an unwritten honour code to back your team

Pulu - Plummer - Ioane - $BW - Faiane - Tele'a - Nanai is a pretty lethal backline tho

Dw lad I was joshing, I picked the blues by 2.

>by 2

Brad Weber deserves a better team, hed start in any Aus team without Genia

touch of magic from Weber there. come to Auckland lad

yeah it was probably thought up by some poosaders cunt

>McKenzie
good ref call there

I can't pronounce some of these names.

hes just really bad all around

>muh razzle dazzle
literally 100% the people around him doing all the work

The queefs backs have started cutting out memekenzie haha

heemed

BOOMFA

I noticed that too. Dont worry though, all the ABs are just starting slow so they can climax in the World Cup.

>queefs

odds are you can barely speak English lad

I am perfectly fine with the poosaders winning this game.

Your 27+ looking pretty gud

>gets poked in the eye

simply embarassing from the chiefs

>queefs

Meckenzie getting fucking exposed again. Tasesa Lavea was a better first five than this manlet.

Beaut of a try

Golden Shower for Memeckenzie after the game.

the state of chiefs fans

you just know he'll have one good game towards the end of the season and book his ticket to japan

Ya blew it

Wow wtf, not like the Saders to step off the pedal

JUST

Reminds me of Auckland stepping off the throat against Canterbury and letting in three tries after the 75th minute and still winning.

Steve Whispy Hansen has already booked him a window seat with extra leg room.

>debrezini comes on
>instant improvement

Chefes relegated to Pro14 when?

GOAT Final.

When the Blues defeat them twice in a season.

He looked like such a mong when playing for the rebels. I'm really sick of our players going overseas and coming back better.

Hate the crusaders because they win, hatred for the chiefs is a far more powerful and organic variety. The comeback is on now.

Former All Black Damien McKenzie

Crusaders took a long hiatus.

Hang in there Brodie

Wish I could buy him a drink. He doesn't deserve this.

it's like watching a monument burn
I hate this
glad I picked 25 though, didnt do too badly lmao

Chiefs defence have been abhorrent this year, it's like I'm watching 2008-2011 era Chiefs again. What gives?

oh yeah
australia went to the world cup final
what a shit world cup that was

>every NH team out in the quarters

still howling at this

not all of them made it to the quarters lad

>england
kek

>out in the group stages
KEK

>in their own tournament

I was referring to the round match in chch, but yea, the final was GOAT, still got it on mysky.

They need an italian coach to implement catenaccio

Watch Japan make quarters to cement their Elite status

>at least theyll probably make the quarters though

RIP Mike

Won't sting so much after The Imperial Rising Sun Wolves winning their maiden Super Rugby Title.

what are these shit quiet commentators
this audio is ass

Mike Harris didn't die. He went to Australia. Not sure where he is now.

You cant take 12 white people into the World Cup like you can Super Rugby though.

Are you fucking retarded?

There was a moment of silence for a kiwi coconut Mike before kickoff.

Kino.

Once off reminder that the brave North Harbour Hibiscus defeated John Kirwin's Brave Blossom Japan at this stadium

I'm just pulling your tits my BSA friend

The point is, my publicly educated friend, that the Sunwolves share at most a handful of players with the national team, so the results of one neither mitigate or exacerbate the results of the other.

Pooes not looking too strong

all these players let down by NZ rugby that are blossoming in a better environment
im happy for them

A good number of the national team players are better than their positionally equivalent sunwolves though. Props, locks, Parker, and Little are the only places where the national team might be lacking

>that one dude with the blues flag behind their posts

what a champ, go get him a beer if youre at the stadium

The fact their tight 5 is so shit and they're lacking a world class flyhalf is precisely why they are incapable of more than the occasional upset. They need to build some bigger blokes. They are smart enough that there are probably promising flyhalves in the next generation though.

Japan suck at rugby. Winning the Super Rugby title will be the equivalent of a World Cup. Japan National team is a handful of slopes and a bucket of boongas. Just the Blues with some gooks scattered through.

kanakas have ruined this sport desu

>33%

jesus fucking christ

Yu Tamura is a world class fly half though. He was swapping the 10 jersey with Parker for all of last season and only national duties has kept that from happening again this season.

I'm not an expert on nip rugby but he's no beauden barrett. Hes good for super rugby and top league but he doesnt stand out in tests against tier 1 nations. He's more of a bernard Foley.

WPOTY is the equivalent of NFL MVP. All goes to some attacking player.

It's all part of the meme where NZ Rugby refuses to accept there isn't gonna be another Dan Carter for a generation or two

They refuse to accept it due to our superior pathway system. The best always come to the top from the lowest of grassroots.

That's what, a dozen handling errors by the Blues?

Looks like I'm digging out the kerosene and newspaper at halftime.

BB has unironically changed the face of rugby which is the best part
Before him a chip was deciding to throw away possession, post BB it's a strategy to score trys

Because he isn't world class. He knocks out bums. Any ranked fighter he has defeated has warranted a rematch. He doesn't have champion heart. That and the Chisora camp tried to get an unfair advantage by delaying negotiations while Chisora was already in camp. May as well stay in NZ and knockout bums for the pleb NZ crowds.

>before him

p sure carter did at least a dozen chip trys mate
and Beauden's big try at the end of the last rwc final was from smith

First time you've watched a Blues game lad? Coconuts have greasy chicken fingers.

I think he did that more with the cross-kick.

Season ticket holder for 10 years before I gave up on them m8.

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FUCKIN GAMBARE

carter AND cruden did chip kicks regularly

thats the least high, high tackle ive seen in a while honestly
he put his hand on old mate's shoulder

for me its the blues

And Slade...and Spencer.

keep forgetting slade exists

Spencer's game was about five years ahead of its time I reckon.

Indeed, who did let booth go?

Who?

>let a half back run through a massive gap
yep this is the blues

So why are you so surprised? Give those tickets away for 10 years or just spend it sitting in the crowd yammering away like a broad?

still remember that one cheeky between the legs pass during a tri-nations game

Blues and Moondogs both look much better this year

>get kicked out of eden park for nitro circus

I'm not surprised you dumbfuck seething shitter. None of this is surprise
>That's what, a dozen handling errors by the Blues?

Did you ever see him at Northampton?
He was passed the ball off the back of a ruck which went too far, he picked the ball up with his back to the defense, kicked it over his head, recovered it then offloaded it to Lewsey who ran it for a try in the corner but spilled it in the tackle.

U mad bro?

absolute madman

why cant memekenzie tackle like that lads

The only good rugby grounds in Ausfalia are the Thugby Stadiums

based fucking blues lads

The majority of tahs members live north of the bridge and there are two lovely fields there (brookvale and north sydney) but they insist on homebush, CBD, and western Sydney games.
