    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    mmm, I know I haven't played or coached for a few years - but if my half was scoring 6 tries in 8 games and was ranked/sitting 4th out of 34 halfs in the comp, I'd be rapted. His attack playing must be pretty good, I'd have thought.

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    With Harris Tevita - he is, as of yesterday 07.07.2025, sitting 4th - yep 4th for try assists - better than nearly $6mil worth of "other stars". and has scored 6 tries in 8 games. And - he is a fantastic defensive player (anywhere he plays) I really can't or don't see the problems others seem...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    I have a quick question - or 2: Are the N.S. Bears NSW Cup team moving to Perth? I ask, because most NRL sides that have "Cup" teams, train together and use the same training techniques so as the players will know the drills if called on to play NRL. And, if not, does that mean players that...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    I'm not in the 4 walls of the Orcas bid - however - I know that the backers (those that were going to build their COE in Rolleston) are one of the biggest private land developers in the south Island - they are also the owners of the Hotel / bar / restaurant just down from the NEW Stadium and...
