After a close win against France, the All Blacks did manage to extend their winning margin against Italy, but in all honesty, it felt like a step back in regard to the quality of performance. There were a few negatives we could dive into, but with this All Blacks series, we are once again looking at the silver linings surrounding the game with our five best performers in black jerseys. Unlike last week, where there were plenty of names to pick from, this one was slightly more straightforward, as the top players really separated themselves from the rest in my…

Join Archie Wilson as he breaks down the second All Blacks test under Dave Rennie. New Zealand vs Italy 5:10pm Saturday | Hnry Stadium Under 63.5 Total Points @ $1.87 Game one is now in the books for the Dave Rennie era, and most fans are pretty happy with the performance we saw from his men. The game itself wasn’t perfect, as there were clear cohesion issues on the defensive side of the ball. However, from an attacking outlook, the optimism the side played with was a brand of rugby we hadn’t seen for a long time from the premier…

The first All Blacks side of the Dave Rennie era has been announced, as 34 players heard their names called for the game’s highest honours, headlined by a new captain and four debutants in the squad.

The Chiefs put the Crusaders to the sword on Friday with a 49-12 win, marching onto the grand final in the process, thanks to a dominant effort up front and an extraordinary ability to execute in the Crusaders’ halfback. Tupou Vaa’i was involved in both of those factors, with the All Black lock putting in a memorable 80-minute performance, with his defensive strength and his workrate around the park really helping the Chiefs hum. He was involved in the hosts’ first try of the night, carrying off a lineout play, before Lalakai Foketi put Kyren Taumoefolau away in the corner,…

The Reds put up a good fight against the Chiefs last week, and although they ended up well on the wrong side of the scoreboard, it wasn’t for a lack of trying, especially from Fraser McReight. Queensland were able to make it an interesting game for the first 45 minutes of play and it was all thanks to their loose forwards, as McReight again showed his class in a losing effort. It was another big 80-minute shift from the Wallaby openside, and he left his mark on attack and defence, racking up nine carries for one line break and two…
