Additionally, Foxtel has also reached an agreement to air the New Zealand Super Rugby Aotearoa competition, which starts this weekend, so rugby fans can settle in to watch more of the sport they love.

That doesn't say they're televising Aotearoa SR this weekend.

I haven't lived in NZ since 99, and over that time I've become way less passionate about Super rugby. Part of that is natural I think, just from being away. And part of it is because of a deterioration of the quality, a dilution of the product.

So now I'm back in NZ, and we have this little ditty of a comp to watch. And post-Covid sport starvation, I'm beyond fcking excited.

Bring on Saturday!!!

There will be a lot of NZ rugby on French TV this week (Canal+ Sport). Thursday : the three 1994 test series between the All Blacks and South Africa, and - of course - the SRA on Saturday and Sunday.

@Duluth I'm pleased that they show clips of refs getting it hopelessly wrong. I feel vindicated and will show this to my neighbours as explanation.

"new breakdown rules" FFS they're not new, they're just looking to actually enforce the rules that already exist

I reckon I might nip off to the TAB tomorrow, from what I saw today that is very good money for the Blues!

Hmmm, short memory there?

I know things are a bit different, but I support the Blues and the Black caps and I have some issues with false dawns, new beginnings, etc.

It's a pain train fella, and I'm on board too

Loving everyone writing off the Landers still. Just like last week.

Blues top of the table and both teams 100% winning in the middle of June. Who would've thought that at the start of the year?
