What happened to the ARU? It was by far the most progressive union in the country at the outset of professional rugby. Wellngton and many others were still in the dark ages . . .
If they're good enough to play at World Cups, why not in between?

You asked and answered yourself.

There's too much money in Auckland for it not to attract people whose only interest is power and money. Look, they had that psychopath clown working for them after he was chased out of Hamilton for scamming the whole city & council. It's a cesspit of corruption and general scummery.

There is also a negative side.

That's a bit racialist.

Give us back Goodhue you poaching pricks.

Nothing makes me feel more like a fallen aristocrat than the Blues getting smacked over by the bogan proles of the Waikato. Even losing to Canterbury is better.

You must be used to it by now. The last time the Blues beat the Chiefs:

Netflix was only available in the Americas.

The iPhone 4 had just come out.

"Friday" by Rebecca Black was in the NZ Top 40 (along with 2 Mumford and Sons tracks).

The All Blacks hadn't won a RWC in 24 years.

Damian MacKenzie was too young to get his learner's licence.

And a chronic lack of any match intelligence costs the fuckwits once more.

EDIT: Though Akira Ioane has continued to churn through work, which is good news for the All Blacks.

Sadly not boss. I watch live here when I can/am still up on a bender:

Marvel at RTS carving it up from the back and manhandling dudes on the line to save tries. Check also Fusitu'a raining them in. Issac Luke has rediscovered his mojo marshaling a classic Kiwi pack that takes it to the defense with extreme prejudice.

Says a lot for the Bloos performance when a thread called Blues 2018 on a Union-specific board has become a Warriors thread.

Sunwolves will be licking their lips.

We sophisticated Auckland types are capable of supporting more than one team and code. I appreciate the average Hamilton fan would find that challenging.

I signed up as a member on NRL.com but the video replays are geo-blocked here. Nothing but brief highlights on u-tube available.

Might have to invest the time to sort out a VPN solution.

Which option is “Supports team that hasn’t lost to the Blues in 14 matches and has been Super Rugby champion (multiple times) within the last two decades”?
