If we called off games in NZ due to some rain, we would never play.

Had one game called off in NZ we got to the ground and it had water like this over it. Because we hated each other they said it was wise to call it off so we didn't kill each other and that was early 90s. But in this day and age grounds should have good drainage seems like the drainage system couldn't keep up with this one. Hopefully South Africa rugby will sort it out with the field being named after a famous Springbok

AB’s U20 forward pack are very much improved this year, the captain is World Class.

Bit strange saying it’s too dangerous but playing to half time so it is an official result. It’s either dangerous or it’s not

in new zealand, when youre getting smashed 80 - nil at halftime, we play the second half like its nil all. we dont give up at half time, thats fuckin weak!

Spain should focus on Football where they are ONE OF THE BEST or focus on SEVEN'S RUGBY... if Spain can't beat England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland/Italy then no point joining all this junior competition; USA Men's and Women's is better then their 15 a side.. maybe Spain should be doing that too
