New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

[Wb1234]

It’s unlikely the will with the number of players out this year and having to pull players out of retirement just to fill positions, Tonga will be tough to get past with the team we’ve been forced to name

Ten years ago the kiwis weren’t losing so many players to Tonga or Samoa either

Difference is we weren’t loosing players in their prime, used to be they’d go play for the island nations if they couldn’t make the NZ or Aus sides. Suppose it’s more a reflection on the world being more diverse than it once was but even 10 years ago the distinction between heritage and nationality wasn’t so grey

He stinks up every thread he enters, but good to see his little cheer squad got so upset by your comment.

I don't give a shit about Qld school rugby, weird that you and your bois Wb and Tito think it has any relevance to this thread topic.

That happens in the modern game. Tonga were solid last night relatively and lost by 18.

Queensland are a world class side obviously and got blown off the park by NSW in game 2 this year.

The Kiwis are 2-3 in their last 5 games against the Roos. The rivalry is more competitive than the Bledisloe now and probably rates better, we just need the crowds as the final piece of the puzzle.

A 3 match Australia V NZ series every year could be huge in time. Problem is where that leaves all the other nations with such a limited window post-season.
