Fuck Jeff Wilson has some shit takes.
I do like it that he at least puts forward his shit takes.
Full-on support for the test and happy to take ABs out of Super rugby for it.
Fuck me days man, do you not see the competition that needs the help?Funny how Wilson and Marshall talked about how great it would be to have the test at Christchurch's new stadium, and have missed that one of reason NZR were against it was that it would always be in Aus.
Not a lot of thinking for him and Marshall. -

Fuck me days man, do you not see the competition that needs the help?Yeah, it seems a crap proposition. Drop everything to play a one off test match in the middle of the SR season. Not sure why Tim Horan was so hostile to the NZR on their unwillingness to give it the green light.either, it just doesn't seem like a good idea.
I can't back it up with proof but I also think a one off test match in the middle of SR would not be good for the bodies of the players or their physical regimens since they will have to adjust to a different training environment and the different demands test match rugby places on them.
With one stupid option was to pause SR for a round to fit this test in .
Which is unrealistic extending SR another week or starting it a week early.
No time to fit that in. -
Why don’t we just line up Aus/NZ matches that week so we have four NZ teams playing four Aus teams? Why muck around with Super Rugby when we’ve just got to a point where the product is starting to become good again.

Good idea.
Should have been suggested earlier.
