Saw game 1 of this series and Oli Mathis(NZ 7) stood out like a sore thumb. Watched this games highlights and Oli again tearing it up. Hope he continues into higher honours!!!

As a kiwi I enjoyed the Aussie broadcaster. Well done also to both teams. Both countries need to work together to help the pacific island teams and our teams as the potential is there for either to win more world cups.

No one better at fetching and. jackaling, but was not a great runner or ball player. Not GOAT material. Id have Michael Jones and Thierry Dusautoir ahead of McCaw.

If you're not willing or able to tackle in rugby (yes, you Australia), there is no place to hide.

Mathis looked great but its a different story when moving up into the professional game. Way more physicality. I'd like to know what his work around tje breakdown looks like because, thats the core job of the #7. Definitely awesome in the open field, but whats he like in the tight stuff? Hopefully, a solid super rugby programme will help him develop into a great #7 or maybe a mid field back...

Yes the pathways from club to npc/super and Black Ferns are well established... High-schools have limited funds and it very much depends on where they want to spend them - for example St. Bedes here in Chch had a good rugby program then a decade back or so - they changed that to a major focus on rowing - (where they get more bang for buck?!) many high-schools - (particularly the girls only) still run a good Netball comp!!
