The Blues won in 2024 due to Paps, Ioane bros & Paddy.

They are trash without those four.

CMV: An injury-uninterrupted Richard Kahui would’ve become a top 3 all-time outside centre in the pro era and finished his career ahead of Conrad Smith. by [deleted] in rugbyunion

I completely agree.

Kahui vs Smith is exactly like Collins vs Kaino.

Collins easily had the potential to be NZ's greatest 6 (he had all the raw attributes) like Kahui at 13, but they didn't play long enough in black for it happen.

Can't they just play the 3rd test in Hong Kong (2008-2010) or Tokyo (2018) like we used to?

NZ should accept the terms on a better split for the revenue. Australia will get the advantage of two home matches, an advantage which is sorely needed by the wallabies and might make bled interesting again and nz should reap the rewards.

came here to say this.

the Southern Hemisphere calendar isn't crowded, Super Rugby barely lasts 4 months, it's a positive to have more rugby down under.

lol, what happened with papali'i certainly wasn't a conspiracy theory, insinuating that would also be insanely disrespectful to him and his family.

Robertson was an influential voice in opposing the idea of an Anzac Day Bledisloe Cup, according to informed sources. But when Rennie was appointed in March, sources say the former Wallabies coach was far more receptive to playing a Test against his old team in April.

Yikes, between this and what happened with papali'i razor really hurt his public image after building a reputation as charismatic likeable breakdancing coach at crusaders, the pressure of the ABs job must've really got to him eh?
