The amount of articles and tweets by journalists listing off NZ sporting highlights from the weekend without mentioning Battle Secrets Waverly Cup victory is not only strange and embarassing, but downright unprofessional.

I would be reluctant to give this Shoaib Bashir kid a trundle if I was his captain playing 3rd grade club cricket. Absolute garbage.

NZC do everything they can to try and get the Super Smash to be taken seriously, then they schedule back to back daytime double headers on the same pitch in Alexandra in the height of the NZ holiday season...

Franchise cricket has fucking sucked for a long time, and I'm not saying this particular series of events is any worse than any other. But holy smokes the sport is cooked. How on earth can so much meaningless cricket exist while the only meaningful stuff left dies?

Is there any chance of showing a NZ open shot that isn't Snyman, Smyth, Ponting or Janewattananond Sky Sport NZ ? Big Kiwi names Hillier, Campbell and Alker all out there yet nowhere to be seen, whats the point? Yet to miss a Ricky Ponting shot and he isn't even competing

Leroy Carter will play for the all blacks this year

Well done you have lost all of your casual viewers that would have watched the start of the Highlanders game to the NRL

Yet another game where it's plain for all to see that the real ABs captain is playing for Moana #CRUvMOA

Complete list of uncapped players who will play for the All Blacks in 2025: Timoci Tavatavanawai Isaia Walker-Leawere Du’Plessis Kirifi Nathan Hastie Xavier Numia

The chiefs without McKenzie are effectively the highlanders

Think that performance will finally shut the french and south africans up. Callum Harkin is the best player on this planet. Its not particularly close either.

FOXY!!!!!!!

Tough way to bow out, but what a season. Couldn't be more proud.

An interesting discussion.

Someone name me a first 5 that is/was conpletely bald

Brumbies vs Hurricanes last is a fucking mental decision. Chiefs and Crusaders both win and the game is basically meaningless (chance winner of BRU v HUR could host the final outrageously slim)

Rieko talks an awful lot of shit, but geez he/his teams tend to find a way to back it up. "Shouldn't have let us get one" garbage looked moronic last week...

Fucking canberra man.

It is fucking insane Aussies keep thinking Marnus is the answer. When he was good his xAverage was 31.1 but the world kept dropping him. And ever since his average is 25. He is shit. Wouldnt make the NZ team.

That is why McKenzie isn't a test first 5. Game like those are where proper number 10s stamp their mark, cannot go missing for 80 minutes like he just did. (He is a test fullback)
