Mark Robinson addresses the public criticism of NZR's decision making

He was an amazing disaster for them from day one, and looking back there are no achievements, only failures like;

1. Unilaterally blowing up the signed S14 deal which has worked out well for both the Boks and Argentina. The result for him is losing off field support from two unions with votes and ending up with a second rate, lucky loser 11 team competition.

What Tony Johnson is hearing about the vacant All Blacks assistant role

Attack coach is the top priority.

Dealing with the high ball is a skill. Doesn’t need a full-time coach. And yes, Hansens lack of ‘clarity’ in explaining where things are going wrong must be confusing for the players also.

A rather arrogant and disrespectful remark from a clueless commentator, as it is his club that pays for his salary and it is they who miss out on his services.

Late George Hendy try sees Northampton nick win in France

As in they just have teams from the same nation play each other or are we saying English and the non SA URC teams and then French and SA teams? Because surely that eventually gets pretty boring quite quickly? I get it's probably a struggle for the SA teams and the french sides have so much depth for the most part that they're guaranteed to rotate.

As someone mentioned when it was the Heineken that teams had a contractual obligation to play strong sides, that's surely the way to go?

Seen quite a few comments from around the world that the ban should be for internationals and not club games….didn’t see this mentioned when Ryan got his joke of a 2 week suspension for being a human torpedo into Marx’s face🤔

Well I think I can front foot that question and speak on behalf of the wider populace when I assert that I can in all confidence state unequivocally that this depends entirely on how you qualify "directly" and the general consensus of what is indeed "the point".

It’s not weird at all, it’s the kind of thing brothers do to fill the time between knocking the stuffing out of each other.

Only some will understand, the rest get to be spectators watching The Greatest Rivalry on tv.

Blah, blah, blah, blah marmite

All this is just useful idiot talk for “I made a monumental f…# up when I leaked the Aratipu report (that he commissioned) to the media informing SA Rugby that they were kicked out of Super Rugby and then refused to answer any of SA Rugby’s phone calls for the next two weeks, and only did so after some serious intervention from the ARU, Sky and SANZAAR.

Sharks player ratings vs Toulouse | Investec Champions Cup 2026/26

Sharks continue to be the most frustrating SA side to watch, with or without star players. Rarely play as a team, more like a bunch of self-interested sportsmen forced to compete in a team sport.

Late George Hendy try sees Northampton nick win in France

I agree, the 1st round has some good games but whoever loses R1, it falls off pretty quickly and then comes back from the QF’s onwards.

SF’s are great, as are finals, so it ends in the right place but how they get there is not great.

Deregistered by his club too.

Totally unrelated, but if a player in a similar position was to take some ’testosterone supplements’ that could be a great chance to cycle, out of competition and regular testing.
