The Chiefs are doing a heritage strip, just aren't unveiling it until January for whatever reason.
They showed it last night at the reveal, I saw it. It isn't ready yet.
Do you know I what way it's 'not ready'?
Seems a bit of a cock up to not have it ready to go for Christmas... Not like they haven't known the 30th anniversary is imminent.

A couple of things being trialed in SR 2026
A tap kick can be taken within a metre of the referee and does not have been taken on the mark.
50/22s will count even if the ball has been taken back in to the 50.
Like the first one, not keen on the second.

I expect there'll be outrage that a try scored from a quick tap was awarded despite being more than a metre away from the mark.
For double payout the ref will be Gardner, too busy chatting with other players to notice.

Apologising for the mistakes he has made so everyone can hear him.

Agree.
One speeds the game up, other brings more game manipulation into it.

What I don't like about the kicking one is it discourages long-range counterattacking, instead promoting looking for space to kick in-behind. And we all know it will end in tries for players wearing no2.

To play devil's, if it extends into international rugby, it's more interfering by NZR to promote rugby suitable to NZXV style of play.
