Uriah Heap 481 Report post Posted September 29, 2020 They're busting their balls to try at get this Rugby Championship up and running, but as a spectator it's hard to get very excited about it. It's coming into summer; it's a post World Cup year; it's a "Covid year" where local competitions have reclaimed the limelight; the Boks look like they'll be well underdone.....etc etc. Seems to me like we should just be saying "Glad we got a bit of local rugby"; then pulling out the cricket bats and beach towels and hoping for better in 2021.

Very Good Mick. I went to the Bledisloe in Wellington last Sunday so that balances it out. Enjoy your Sunday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenz 1,070 Report post Posted October 18, 2020 Hey Memphis,did you enjoy the same old same old rugby result,it's been that way for years but wait we've got two more games of same old same old to go then a couple of easy wins over the argentines it's probably exciting for the players no doubt but from outside looking in its as predictable as watching last week racing replays, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriah Heap 481 Report post Posted October 18, 2020 Gee we blooded some youngsters didn't we?? At one point in 2nd half there was Clark, Umanga- ?, Hodgson (prop), that young lock, Sotutu; all playing their first Test. Augurs well for the future.

Yesterday’s game was great quality, good to see the aussie’s with a decent coach and they have looked pretty sharp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be fair to say the fact there ain't been any test probably creates more interest when they arrived,I did actually watch the game on prime and didn't know the result and Aussie did play well but once it got to 20 points I actually went to sleep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
