In spite of what happened in the end, safe to say the Lions have not only won eight out of nine tour games but also the three-match contest early with one to go. Maro Itoje was simply like James Bond of Rugby tonight breaking down defenses that a true 007 agent would do while lifting…
It was a flying start right from the word go by the Lions that goes to show they‘re up ahead, even though they were challenged at times towards the last 20-30 mins. But at the end of the day, they’ve not just played their cards right; they also done enough to last the full 80…
In Harry Wilson we trust! He’s usually an 8 but scored a 10/10 performance – very paramount of him steering that ship while able to outmuscle Fiji’s scrambled defense and raw pace in attack mode combined. Same again please come July 19 at Suncorp as it depends on how they stay on the front foot…
Now this and that is championship-winning stuff from the Crusaders back where they belong as the leading and most successful Super Rugby team in history like it was before and they’ve done that once again to finish the 2025 season. There’s Fletcher Newell stepping up big time for nearly the whole 80 when these front…
Could 2025 be the year of the Chiefs? Ask Damian McKenzie with his outstanding 10 out of 10 performance as always. He’s not just your usual go-to kicker, he can be massive from his defensive work like preventing 50/22s to try-saving tackles, and can stir up some amazing razzle dazzle creativity too. If he can…
First of all, congrats to the new-look Crusaders on finally able to make their way back to the Grand Final. Everyone has their ups and downs but it doesn’t mean the glory days shouldn’t be completely over and shoutout to Rob Penney on having an excellent set of experienced ones that makes their own youth…
Can you believe it from the Blues? They’re somehow still in it thanks to their last-gasp win over the Chiefs on the Chiefs home front at FMG Stadium in Hamilton. Hats off to reserve second row Josh Beehre on his staunch defensive and attacking efforts at the centre of tackle that turned into a game-scoring…
Looks like the tricks he pulled off was well worth the $$$ by Crusaders 9 Noah Hotham who loves taking on individual challenges that blew everyone away while playing a crucial role with his forwards following their qualifying Final win last night & now they’re semi-finals bound. Then you got someone clearing those decks on…
Tupou Vaai’s got power on the Chiefs second row 5 with tries and exceptional ground work while Damian McKenzie at 10 unleashed his need for speed at counter-attacking plays and kicks for goal as well. Message sent with the three qualifying final games to start next weekend. Timoci Tavavanawai at 12: a quick thinker, shifter…
Lots of Chiefs players submitted their own Emmy Awards of Super Rugby nominations following a turbocharged Round 15 win v Moana Pasifika. 1️⃣ Can’t enough of Leroy Carter’s hat-trick on the left 11 who loves being front and centre – going into top gear for Finals. 2️⃣ Another hat-trick display this time Cortez Ratima at half-back…
