What happened there? Did their finances collapse like you predicted? Did their sponsors run away in droves?

No real bolters so far though? Like a Ryan last year but who is actually suited to the test game (ie not a total youngster/outsider in his first pro season).

The Tahs wing is close for me, just needs to show a little more. Canham, like Miz suggests, been in the squad obviously but you can consider him a bolter as far as starting is concerned. The Tahs halfback? I’m struggling to think of many compared to the kiwis, but maybe that’s because I’ve only seen half the amount of aussie games.

Agree on Tupaea, he is a lesser version of Tavatanawai. Less pace, less power, lesser boot, not as good at turnovers defensively… how does anyone think he is better. Baffling.

Ennor is too injury prone and has never taken opportunities. AJ Lam has a lot of promise, surely he should be getting taken over ALB as a 12/13 with upside option. And he can cover wing really well too.

Havili should be nowhere near it either. We have seen enough of the guy. His ceiling at test level is ok. Why keep picking that option when you have so many more with potential to be better than ok.

The rest of the article is also typical garbage, they only relevant information, being left till the end, is the payment of %25 million, that gives NZR a chance to come out ahead right? Hook up a sponsor in the next few months and it’s rolling on like nothing happened. Who didn’t expect it to play out like this? Lets hope they can get an even better deal now that the prosperity of the game is looking even better, both off the field and on the field.

And it simply never was a revenue issue. The AFL and NRL milk the ANZACs deaths and sacrifice for their own personal gain, they did not make their decisions based on “the rugby”, it’s all about taking over the day for the financial benefit. Why would NZR want to be a apart of that? We know RA would, but more than ever they are driven by the bottom line, and not the values that will be the factor in NZRs decision.

So you need to get outside you bubble Tim Horan and think about reality. First, did Australians need something to do on ANZAC day (assuming it was for the weekend celebration day proposal) or have they been brainwashed into disconnecting with their mates and connecting with the TV. What purpose does it provide other than financially essentially? Then ask yourself that same question for the communities out side of that, through Aus and then into NZ and around the pacific, world even.

We don’t need your shortshighted aussie brain calling out NZR thanks.

NZR also doesn’t want to destroy a good thing that is SRs revival amongst wider entertainment enjoyer base, and having a SR break/interruption was a big driver towards fans turning off previously. You’d have to wait at least a few years before they feel comfortable in disrupting that again. Actually having it at the beggining of 2027, World Cup year in Australia, might actually be the most sensible thing (though I actually really like Utiku’s idea). It would both drum up support and get the spotlight on rugby early in the season, helping anticipation/buildup for the big event, and more importantly, give the sides an extra game that year to get things right for a tilt at thge trophy.

As for Ioane at 13, it feels like he’s being indulged, or he’ll throw his toys and want out of his contract. At this point, personally I’d let him.
