The Silver Fern

In the past we always had young stars coming through. We do not have them now. Is this because in participation terms the game is dwindling fast?
In Wellington and Auckland the numbers playing football are three to four times greater than Rugby. In fact in Wellington if it were not for the Polynesian community the game would be dead.

Twenty years ago Eden Park and Sky Stadium would be close to full for an NPC game now it is "spot the spectator"

Rugby has deeper issues than the All Blacks but NZ Rugby choses to ignore them or cover up.

@ACT-Crusader said in All Blacks v Pumas 1:

@stodders Coles will be in the team next week, you know because all the hookers are going to get a run.

So Cody had a run? I thought it was a mare

Wow Cody Taylor, how many mis throws? One of the All Blacks all time poor performances and he replaced a guy that was playing exceptional.
