Wow! Have there been some amazing games at this RWC or what? A tryless test, yet every bit as thrilling as an 83-7 point exhibition match. By upsetting Australia, Ireland have put this tournament on the map and have brought some much needed respect from the south for northern […]

Once again, a great atmosphere at The Cake Tin last night. The Bok fans are so colourful and noisy it was like a home game for them again (North Shore’s match will be!) … but the Fijian fans an supporters were hugely visible too, just a shame their […]

I watched this on a small computer screen at work while trying to pretend to do some work (hopelessly executed) so I have probably missed a lot of things.

Bugger me, but sorry, I was raised under the fear of a Nuclear Winter. MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTIOJ!!!! I was led to believe that should I ever hear the phrase on television, “…Russians about to breach the American lines…” then it was really time to duck and cover. Mushroom cloud. […]

Wet. Turgid. Three pointers all the way. Not the most exciting game so far, but … Scotland are two from two and can now target the Argentines. Not sure if that is wise, but hey. Braveheart and all that. My highlight, just seeing a wild beast the likes of […]

The wife and I had a great time last night at this game, it was awesome - my best experience at the Cake Tin since All Black Tests a few years ago, back in Tana’s captaincy - there was just such a positivity- inflected edge to it all; pressure […]

newsfeeds@nzherald.co.nz wrote this article. The Brave Blossoms indeed, for a minute or three there they absolutely put the wind up the French in a spell that saw them go wide, go tight, kick long, chip, turn the French around. Really clever rugby I thought.
