I'd be surprised if Foster introduces anyone new outside of the ABs XV. Luke Jacobson would probably be picked before Gardiner who was part of the ABs XV. I thought Ah Kuoi and Suafoa deserved to go on NPC form ahead of Gardiner but outside of lots of injuries I don't see either Ah Kuoi or Suafoa b...

Yep

Yep, he's been very good. Really caught the eye on last year's NZ XV tour, and continues to impress. RWC bolter? If Foster is going to continue to play Savea at 8, alongside Cane or Papalii at 7, then we need a genuine, test level lineout target at 6. So either Barrett or Vaa'i will be moved to 6, ...

Really like the look of young Dominic Gardiner. I don't think he's a longterm lock, but I like the look of him as a 6. He's got a great workrate and his a handy ball-runner. Will be interesting to see where he fits in to the team when the likes of Whitelock, Barrett, Grace and Blackadder return. Ye...

That was an ugly win for the Crusaders, but we still managed to win. Which is in itself an achievement given we have 17 members of the squad injured plus we lost Fainga'anuku and Goodue on the night. Very happy for Mo'unga to reach his 100 games for the Crusaders, and he was one of the few Crusaders...

Is anyone else going to Super Round in Melbourne in Round 2? I'm going this year and I'd like to make it a regular thing, but that's only going to happen if it becomes an event. I love the NRL's Magic Round. Im heading along for the Friday games. Yeah, I'm going for the whole weekend but I'm mainly...

2 weeks until the season starts (all times are in AEST time); Crusaders vs Chiefs - Fri 24th Feb - 7.05pm Waratahs vs Brumbies - Fri 24th Feb - 6.35pm Moana Pasifika vs Fijian Drua - Sat 25th Feb - 1.35pm Highlanders vs Blues - Sat 25th Feb - 4.05pm Reds vs Hurricanes - Sat 25th Feb - 6.35pm Force v...

Ian Foster has a raging hard-on for Reiko Ioane wearing the 13 jersey.

Thought I'd start a catch-all for this season's Super Rugby chat and match discussions. Go the Crusaders! Will they even have a coach? Regardless of Robertson's next move, I think it's unlikely that he doesn't finish this season at the Crusaders. This will be his last though, which is a real shame ...

So, is it just me or is starting new threads on Planet Rugby blocked? I tried to start a catch-all Super Rugby thread yesterday and it wouldn't let me, kept coming up with an error message.

Great start for Canterbury, they look very good this season. They have a well balanced squad and look well coached and hungry. Cullen Grace is the player we need in the All Black backrow to provide balance, he's the lineout target and tight playing workaholic we need to provide the balance for Savea...

I asked a couple of weeks back, does anyone have any idea of where Jack Goodhue is at with his recovery?

I've heard nothing. Hopefully he's been training hard whilst he's been injured, and has also had a haircut.

That was an entertaining game to watch. Whilst both teams were understrength due to COVID-19 and injuries, the Chiefs missed their missing players more, IMO. Pita Gus-Sowakula was a huge loss, and Anton Lineart-Brown is the glue that keeps their backline together. As has been mentioned , Grace and C...

I doesn't, but I couldn't find the 'Things you like' thread.

All this chat about petrol costs, wasted space etc, ultimately people buy cars because they think the look good. And I think some SUV's look great. We like the way that Toyota Prados look, and that's why we drive them. Live and let live I say, and if people like me want to drive an SUV then so be it.

My wife and I both drive Toyota SUV's. Whilst we live in a regional town, we never drive off road or on unsealed roads. I like the extra size of an SUV compared to a sedan, it makes my penis feel a bit larger. I also like being higher and the additional vision that affords. I get that they are bit m...

Josh McKay is a good signing for us given the season ending injury to George Bridge. McKay plays a similar role, able to cover wing and fullback. It will be hard work for McKay to break into the starting XV given the depth the Crusaders have in their outside backs, but as we know Super Rugby Aotear...

Can Rene Ranger play 12? I seem to remember him playing inside Anthony Tuitavake for the Blues. If he can play 12 then perhaps Goodhue could switch to his best position of centre? In saying that, if Ian Foster sees Goodhue as a no.12 for the AB's then an argument could be made to leave Goodhue at se...

I'd be playing Leicester Faingaanuku at 13. But otherwise I think Ranger offers more than Punivai or McLeod (who prefers 12). The problem with Ranger is that at 34, he's a stop-gap measure at best. But with Ennor back in 2022, maybe a stop-gap is all the Crusaders are after?

It seems to have fixed itself after I started this thread

Every time I open/close a thread or make a post on this forum, I am automatically logged out. I then have to login again, which makes it impossible to engage with this forum. This has only been happening for a week or so. Is this an easy fix or does my laptop have bad aids?

Sad to see Beauden Barrett using the media to coerce Ian Foster to select him at no.10. I've never previously seen another player use the media to pressure selectors in this way. This is unprecedented. Perhaps instead of trying to bully Ian Foster, BB should actually start playing some decent Rugby ...

Yes, a very good day for NZ today. The 369 run partnership between Williamson and Nicholls was absolutely superb, with both batsmen playing well controlled innings and then upping the scoring tempo as they passed their tons. Sure there was a bit of luck with dropped catches, but that is part and par...

Ffs Jamieson is a good player! Up there with Cameron Green? Cameron Green is extremely highly rated by the Australian cricket commentators. But he is yet to show his full potential at test level. A batteing average of 22 and bowling average of zero suggests he's a work in progress. In contrast, KJ ...

Ffs Jamieson is a good player!

11 overs. Nasty.

I was thinking the same thing

We cannot afford a cheap dismissal from Kyle Jamieson.

Not a bad knock by the captain.

It's impossible not to like this Pakistan team. A dickhead free squad.

So would Williamson be thinking of a declaration at this point, or is it all about just batting Pakistan out of the match? It's only session 1 of Day 3, NZ could bat for another day and a bit if they're good enough and still have plenty of time to take bowl Pakistan out again. Well, this is the Cra...

Hell of a partnership here. Whilst the contest is currently badly one-sided, it's so good to watch as a Back Caps fan.

374-3

That was a really shit review by Pakistan.

This reminds me of the Pakistan 1st innings, when Azhar Ali and Mohammead Rizwan looked really comfortable in the middle of their innings. NZ got a break through and then sliced through the rest of the team.
