The England bowlers look utterly exhausted as the Aussie lead nears 100.
4-1 is going to be a fair reflection in the gulf in quality between these two teams.

This is the year of Riley, he’s primed for a big season.
And I've never heard that before...
Every year. Then he gets injured.
You’re talking like he’s been around forever.
2025 was the year he was talked up big time because Jordie was in Ireland and we were finally going to see Higgins get a good run at the next level after looking like a cheat code in the NPC. (Similar to Pledger this year). Unfortunately he got injured and Jordie’s now back.
Higgins showed even with a handful of appearances last year that he’s destined to do very well at Super level as well and will push for higher honours, let’s hope he stays on. the park.
Oh and he’s definitely not going to Wales.
I certainly hope he stays on the park. Petone, Lower Hutt, Wellington, the Canes and NZ as a whole needs a fit and firing messiah.
All going well he'll largely only play for the latter two going forward.

Smith finally gets a 100 this series
Easy when the pressure is off and your mates already won you the ashes champ -

Stephen "the Walrus" Jones has retired after 42 years as Sunday Times Rugby Correspondent.
His final piece (behind a paywall) is every bit as self-laudatory as you could imagine.
Complete fluffybunny and stands for literally everything I hate about so many things.
Can honestly say he’s one of very very few people who if I learned was terminally ill, I would not feel one hint of sadness. Existed primarily to piss people off. Good riddance, go fuck yourself.

Highlight: has to be the Otago run in the NPC.
Lowlight: the Landers losing so many by a small margin.
2026 plans:
Taking my near two year old to his first game of live sport in March. Headind down to Dunedin to take him to the Landers v Force.
Super Round in Christchurch.
Potentially the Boxing Day test. Big personal spanner is three months ago I was given full permission. Now I have another kid turning up in August. Really tough balancing act to get a week away on the piss leaving the other half at home with a four month old and a near three year old. Consequences eh.

Use all the years from now until the cold death of the sun and it won't address the failures of selection and coaching.

Apparently ABs, Super players and the Black ferns are getting a pay increase next year. I can only assume it's a crap increase if all these players are still leaving...
One of my good mates plays at a shit club in the URC and gets around €200k (400k NZD). Compared to the 185k players are paid here, which is only for the top players, it's a no-brainer financially for mid-tier players to leave if they aren't making ABs.
