Maybe Tuipulotu should spend more time training and less time practicing non English speeches
You mean speeches in his other language?
You’ve been out of NZ too long. Quite common for other languages to be used now.
It has also just been rugby pasifika week in which it was encouraged.
All adds to our unique NZ culture IMO. We aren’t a little Britain anymoreJesus. It was a pisstake.
Ok. It whooped right over me. Was it a reference to someone else’s comment or something?

As long as their new coach isn't call Scott.

Razor is the best Rugby coach around and a huge character to boot. The English media would love him. Rugby's Brian Clough. Just don't think he's quite the RFU's cup of tea, especially after five years of Eddie Jones.

Blues have a fantastic roster of talent at the moment, but are only 2 from 4 this year. Despite all the talent they have available, at the moment they're still a long way behind the Crusaders.

Most of the Blues forwards looked like they were suffering a hangover from last week.
Six All Blacks in the starting pack and more coming from the bench and the Chiefs' somewhat lightweight scrum was beating them up.

17 tackles from Dalton Papalii tonight, 15 from Sam Cane. That's your battle for the All Black starting Number 7 Jersey right there.

one of them played 20 min less than the other
@ploughboy 13 minutes. By yeah, that was part of my point.

Well how can you be in a tipping comp with these games? Bloody good isn't it?
I thought the Blues pack would wear the Cheifs down, but bugger me the young tighties stood up. I reckoned they had 2 top tighties Ta'avoa and Vai'i and Vai'i wasn't there. Jacobson went well I thought, as did Trask at 10 and the usuals went well so........
And a reminder in this sport you never guaranteed a win. -

Probably not Cane is Captain

@bones I have been impressed with him for a while. Cane is looking like an old horse. He is beat up and worn out.

Don't agree with this. Just a few months ago he was easily our best AB. He was hardly great in last year's SR either, and is probably just pacing himself until the internationals.

These were the teams in the programme, although the Chiefs had two changes. Dyer started for Apikotoa, and Slade started for van den Hoven (Coxon and Florence in the reserves). Reihana went off after only 20 mins and Skipwith-Garland played at fullback. Harris came on at HT. I'd have him on the bench for Rd 2 of SRA.
The Chiefs led 7-5 at HT playing with the wind. Plumtree scored the opening try after a 40 m run from an intercept. Boshier the did the same from about halfway. Both showed plenty of pace.
The Chiefs reserve props dominated their opposites leading to the winning try from Boshier from a 5 m scrum. The Blues had the feed but collapsed under the pressure. I though Sullivan was ordinary at 1st 5 for the Blues.

Oh you know me, I'm just against multiculturalism. It should be banned, insha'Allah.
But yeah it's a pretty dumb comment that a poly heritage captain should only speak in English if he's not had a stellar game. Weird.
