We don't tap into US Samoa enough.

And I personally know and played with a couple of Fijians who got US citizenship to represent us. One played with the 15s Eagles a little in the 90s, and the other with the 7s Eagles in the 2000s.

Our future is in 7s--unless the 15s pro league really takes off...

Jealous. Yeah I don't like our chances either we didn't do to good during the summer tours. But I do like the direction we are moving in. Being added to the international test calendar and the Pacific Nations Cup is huge for future development. We really don't need to look any further than Canada and Japan to see potential for improvement.

I know the NZRU has been wanting to break into the American market for a long time. Playing against the Kwiwi's more often I think is the best thing we can do to improve quality of play.

We'll make The Cup's still two years away. The question is how many matches can we win once we get there.


Anybody see the Super Rugby Championship this past weekend? Great Game! The Semi's the previous week were awesome too.

Bledisloe Cup kicks off The Rugby Championship next weekend and the French Top 14 kicks into action! Can't wait for that, so many quality SH players making the move up North this season.


That's what I love about Rugby between the two hemispheres it's pretty much year round Rugby.

Not at all. Last year, we had a 45 year old playing scrumhalf on our first side. A large part of our team is currently 31-34 years old.

Yeah the Reds really shite the bed. I think a lot of their guys never really got back into the Super Rugby groove after The Lions tour.

Well technically Nola can finish 9th. Two reseeded pools of 8.

Nola beat nova 28-0 this morning

Nola led all games at half, but ost all three games in the last minute yesterday. Unfortunate,but need to find a way to close games out.

Atlanta just lost to Chicago Lions in the Cup Quarters. Seattle OPSB are leading SFGG at the half. Probably gonna set up another big semi matchup between Chicago and Seattle. Last year Chicago upset Seattle in that round.
