Every selection for round two of Super Rugby Aupiki

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND - MARCH 01: Portia Woodman-Wickliffe of the Blues on attack during the round one Super Rugby Aupiki match between Hurricanes Poua and Blues at Sky Stadium on March 01, 2025 in Wellington, New Zealand. (Photo by Hagen Hopkins/Getty Images)

Week one of Super Rugby Aupiki dished up plenty of highlights as the Bues stamrolled the Hurricanes Poua and Amy du Plessis lifted Matatu to glory over the Chiefs Manawa.

Round two sees Matatu look to continue their winning form against the Hurricanes Poua, who will be eager to improve their poor set-piece game.

Eden Park plays host to a 2024 final rematch, with the Blues taking plenty of momentum from their 50-point scoring outburst into a contest against a Chiefs Manawa outfit who largely failed to fire on attack despite boasting plenty of star power.

We have enough talent & experience to blow away all other test nations at RWC2025. Unfortunately, the sh*t results under Bunting since his (imo) ridiculous appointment in 2022 indicate that it’s not going to happen. What a shame.

That sounds the height of optimism to me and a large dose of one-eyed Kiwi assumed rugby superiority. Some teams might well be blown away but it will largely be the Red Roses who are doing it, even with by far the toughest pool draw.

Kyren Taumoefolau All Blacks stance splits opinions on eligibility

Yeah they do, they all have informal talks with teams and if there's not a fit, they have all sorts of options - extra draft picks, change in picks etc. If the player really doesn't want to go they can also force a redraft or close to go back into the draft for the following season

Rugby down under could have hit high gear with Anzac Tests

The NZRU could’ve said that they can make it work, but need more money. Put the ball in Rugby Australia’s court. Revenue sharing isn’t new.

Rugby down under could have hit high gear with Anzac Tests

Rugby down under could have hit high gear with Anzac Tests

How does the NRL handle the State of Origin happening in the regular season? Couldn’t rugby just so a similar thing?


Can the Super Rugby players, that get picked, just miss their Super Rugby game for that week, then no player welfare issues? If both the All Blacks and Wallabies only have one week to prepare then it’s the same for both sides.


Yes, some Super Rugby sides will be out some of their players for a week. But there could be monetary compensation per player missing from the test money. The Super Rugby sponsors could get some sponsorship in the test to make up for the reduced spectacle in Super Rugby for that week.


If the NZRU didn’t like the game being in Australia, couldn’t they just demand a bigger cut?


Making it work won’t be simple. But it seems like the issues are things that can be taken into account for. It’s a missed opportunity.

Hurricanes suffer playmaker blow, experiment with loose trio for Tahs

This may be the shortest NZ Super Rugby forward pack in its history.


Two smallish locks at 1.97m and 1.98m and none of the loose forwards are above 1.88m. Good luck winning clean ball at line-outs.

Rugby down under could have hit high gear with Anzac Tests

Yeah they could’ve asked for it to be hosted at a neutral venue and then both teams split the cash and the other games each team gets their tickets from home games.


Could even but a 2 week long international break into the SRP season leading up to the match.

'Matches between Les Bleus and the All Blacks are rarely for the faint-hearted.'

Just on that last comment of yours:


Ireland were absolutely more respected after that game. Nobody cared when Ireland came to NZ, nobody acknowledged them either to be frank. But once they won, oh boy now everybody knew Ireland were a serious contender.


You think Australians and Kiwis and Saffas don’t respect each other? Because we do chat a bit of shite online to each other, but there is still a great deal of respect.


Everybody respected Ireland up until they choked another QF after hyping themselves up for about a year and a half.

What the? It's a June test series in the International calendar doh! France knew when they took the invite. They did the same thing last time and that was ages ago. Has France asked for different dates? Nope heard nothing here As for this assumption that a second string France squad would probably win here? Lost to them by 1 point at home with all their stars. Gaulthie might well be aware of this.

Great interview with Crusaders Hooker Ioane Moananu. He has been in dynamic form throughout. From the home first up win against the Hurricanes through to Saturday nights away win against the Blues. He started in both of those and in others he has been a great super sub when Codie Taylor started. A real friendly guy is Ioane , who is great with the fans.

It would surely be France’s choice. They 1) didn’t think to talk to, or take, their top players in the first place, and 2) ALL their players want at least a half decent holiday (where other countries’players get an ‘off’ season) so that means getting back ASAP.

Crusaders rookie earns 'other than Dupont' praise from All Blacks star

My father, a retired schoolteacher, has always been cautious with his money. He worked hard his entire life to build a modest retirement fund and trusted that it would support him in his golden years. So, when he told me about an “exclusive” investment opportunity in cryptocurrency that promised high returns, I was immediately suspicious. But he was convinced it was legitimate—after all, the website looked professional, and the salesperson had been so persuasive over the phone. Despite my warnings, he invested 15,000 USD of his savings. At first, everything seemed fine. He received regular updates and saw “profits” reflected in his online account. But when he tried to withdraw some money, the website suddenly went offline, and the phone number was disconnected. My father was devastated. He had been scammed, and his hard-earned savings were gone. I knew I had to act quickly. I reached out to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY, a company I had read about online that specialized in tracing online fraud. I explained the situation, providing them with all the details: the fake website, the transaction records, and even the emails from the scammer. The team at TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY was incredibly understanding and assured me they would do everything possible to help. Using their expertise in digital forensics, they traced the scammer’s digital footprint and identified the offshore account where the money had been transferred. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to freeze the account and recover the funds. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the 15,000 USD to my father. The relief on his face was indescribable. Not only had TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY restored his savings, but they had also given him peace of mind. They even took the time to educate him on how to spot investment scams in the future, empowering him to protect himself. This brought our family closer together. My father now understands the importance of skepticism and due diligence, and I’m grateful to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY for their incredible work. They didn’t just recover money, they restored my father’s faith in justice and gave him a second chance to enjoy his retirement.EMAIL..Techcybersforcerecovery(@)cyberservices(.)comWHATSAPP... + 1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7

I think you’re just out of the loop, or the one ‘confused’.


I’m pretty sure the people have suggested they targeted the fixtures, but more seriously, you would actually put it down to just luck? You sure you’ve not felt that it was more than mere chance from what you’ve read otherwise?


And I would love to know what stats you looked up LOL
