@canefan heritage round is the final round.

I've heard some insider knowledge from the Chiefs though, apparently the heritage kit is retail only and the team won't be taking the field in it

the draw on SRP facebook page shows round 12 (round just gone) as Heritage/Culture round

Stanley Solomon has been banned for the two matches: following his red card on Sunday against France :

Ireland v New Zealand – 19 July, 2024

Wellington v Taranaki, NPC warm-up – ­27 July, 2024

Finished 70-7. A blood bath.

This Jacomb guys looks like a talent.

Ffs Ricky

Haven't watched much NPC, but what is Jacomb's story.

Has he been playing like this all year, or was last night a one off?

He usurped Potroz?

Yep he's been good all year really, and kept improving, really looks the goods to me, and can see a super team looking at him. He's only 22 I think and was MOTM from what I saw at game. @Canes4life yep has well and truly surpassed Protoz, and Perofeta at 19 in my mind. We in fairly good position at 10 in the Naki, none of them poor players .

I guess Carter only shone in the latter part of the sevens circuit, plenty more years left but he's a difference maker eh.

Action filled afternoons set for Sky Super Rugby Aupiki Action filled afternoons set for Sky Super Rugby Aupiki

Family-friendly afternoon kick offs are the feature of an extended 2024 Sky Super Rugby Aupiki draw announced by New Zealand Rugby (NZR) and the Super Clubs today.

Young Jacomb has had quite a game for the Naki, tonight.

Also good on Harbour for not giving up, despite being well behind.

As someone who was at the game I could understand the first penalty attempt but not the second shot at goal. The wind was strong so the Wallaroos should have kicked to the corner and put some pressure back on NZ.

I think this is the start of NZRFU getting rid of all school rugby apart from 1st & 2nd xv. It needs to happen if clubs are to survive.
Not only are you losing kids from your club at year 9 , but you’re also losing all the volunteers that have coached/managed since under 6s.

@booboo said in Canterbury v Ta$man:

But fuck how forward was that pass?

you could be watching any number of games from the last week...

The full time score was Black Ferns XV 38 - 12 Manu Sina XV

@KiwiMurph many people in Auckland Rugby asking the same question about Hickey , what has he really done coaching wise..?
Interestingly enough he turned up to one of Manukau Rovers training nights to see what they were doing differently
Given Rovers had a possible upcoming semi final against G-Tech in the coming weeks , even though he was there in his Auckland capacity , he was politely asked to leave given he had ties with G-Tech ..🤦🏻‍♂

Top entertainment, cards made it a contest in the final quarter.

Taranaki would have felt right at home in Rangoon, it is just like Hawera.

I know we have some members of the media here, and not to be too much of a fluffybunny about it, but those are questions that just haven't been really raised or explored enough by the NZ rugby media.
