New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

How much do you weigh?

I'm tiny compared to what I was, that happens when you get old. I was a hooker in both codes, at 95-100KG... that was back when hookers weren't converted halves.

Had a squiz at the super rugby highlights and crowds look pretty dire. I'd say last week's Warriors v Dolphins game had a better attendance than the Auckland v NSW union final on Friday.

Just how much time is being lost in a game of rugby? – The Roar

The Blues crowd was unbelievably dire for a final!

Eden Park actually looks like a stadium in some sort of dystopian horror movie. Mt Smart looks much better (on TV at least).

What's changed except League has gotten even faster and introduced shot clocks
I don't think you'll like the 2023 comparison. Stick with 2009

It's alright full but at like 8k ( what it looked like) yeah terrible.

100kg hooker... yep - Union.
And we both know that's not what you weighted

And once again, baseless opinion.

"weighted"? WTF???? And as for my playing Weight, it was. Since you probably weren't even alive when i played, once again you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Baseless? Righto lol

Sure pal. You packed on afew pounds and weren't up to pace with league but Union gave you a run. Had some pizza and beers after training.
Honestly mate, no shame in it.
It's good you found your place

Yes baseless. You don't have a clue what "time in play" is for Rugby this year.

That's a perfect example of how to say your idiot without saying it. Just because you weren't good enough to play at a decent level, doesn't mean others weren't.

And of course, now that NZ2 is dead the thread once again devolves into what it was supposed to be from the first post.
