I got to say, (and it's just personally), the Fantasy comp etc, and stats etc don't worry me even slightly. I just watch rugby, because I love watching the game.
In saying that I am saying it good thing if it brings more interest to game from people who want those things in their sports etc. I have to admit that perhaps all sports need things like f***en music blaring out, fantasy comps, betting odds etc to attract a few more people.
I had to grudgingly admit it last couple of years at NPC games, when I sawyoung kids dancing and singing to music etc. -
For one of the Chiefs/Manawa double headers they are going to include a concert as well with some kiwi musicians. Obviously hoping to earn some extra coin that day.

Slightly off topic and looking at the lineup, being out of NZ so not fully up to date with the music scene, is Ladi 6 bigger than Holly Smith these days?

Does anyone know if classic is doing another run on the retro jerseys?

@frugby some of us are definitely a bit cynical.....my first thought was they will claim to have accurate stats and fantasy will be a game changer....but thats as far as they'll go, claim its better...hope im wrong
Truth will lie somewhere in the middle in my view. There will be improvement but still a long way behind
@KiwiMurph Of course, it won’t be perfect at first, but how nice is it going to be to get relatively accurate injury reports, and some easily accessible baseline stats?
Opta had some nice stuff but that was an independent and even that was difficult to use.

And just piggy backing off this, if anyone wants the Ford and Super 12 logos added I can point you to my mate who does them.

Who had the fastest bronco time for the Blues and Highlanders? I'm just curious if anyone other than a halfback is ever the quickest now. I know BB has the fastest time at 4:12 from May 2020, which Roigard equalled last year. It's probably a little easier in cooler conditions than in Dec/Jan.
Blues - ?
Chiefs - Charlie Sinton 4:20
Hurricanes - Jai Tamati 4:23
Crusaders - Kyle Preston 4:13
Highlanders - ?
