The Silver Fern

The Coastal and Fraser-Tech game was played in Te Kuiti and was a good watch. But even if Central are doing something similar and playing in Taupo, there is serious traveling to be done by a couple of clubs.

@Landers92

I think I read somewhere BB had a hand injury?

@Bones except at the end....

Looks like Love in the background in yellow in that last picture, which would make sense

Savea was also in a yellow bib so not sure if that’s a reflection of the starters vs non starters.

It would be cool if they ran out something very different, a good melt down here over bold selections would make a change, at least.

It’s only France B...
FIFY

@MN5
Not if we are talking about their wallets...

@taniwharugby
David's father was a tall and a very handy lock/loose forward for Hora Hora and Mid Northern. Perhaps the height genes have skipped a generation?

@HugeCarrot2 I have a mate up in Waimea that is bewildered by Fihaki's inclusion ahead of Macca, fortunately I put him at ease when I explained the cream will always rise to the top

If you're the abs coach, that's only true of a certain type of cream

And that stuff was as tasteful as some of those selections.... crap

Huge pressure from the Eagles' defence was the reason

and another intercept for the Birds...

and Mahomes sacked yet again... that is what you call D

The world is a happy place at the moment. Enjoying a long weekend and the mighty Eagles off to LIX...

@Bones
That you were going to school...?

Despite all the recent activity in the area I am pleased to report it hasn't frightened off the delicious Marokopa River whitebait.

John Mitchell who took over as Head Coach of England coaches against his native country for the first time

Is that true? Maybe as head coach but I thought he was part of the England team for games against NZ in the late 90s.

He was forwards coach for Sir Clive for 3-4 years during that period.

Boom!...

@Damo
Aimee Fisher may be the one to watch.

Why is the game at Twickenham? (will also google)

edit:...google seem to suggest it was purely commercial which is disappointing

Taylor Swift

Played the stadium last night

Word is she brought around £10 million to the local economy for the one gig

I guess people had to get sick of Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey eventually

It's not unusual...

of Plenty

Slap in half-way inbetween and give the team the Taupo. That way the Bay's can have split ownership.

King Country leaps from Heartland to Super, I love it.

It would be beautiful to see the meltdown.

It just so happens that the lights at Owen Delany Park are currently being upgraded...
