Team of the week should include Mitch Hunt as first five. The guy showed alot of grit, tackling his heart out against the Chiefs onslaught. From a Fijian Drua fan here.
abs new will coach team will be scott,leon and jason.joseph is a pretend coach of a poor japanese barbarians team-joseph has done nothing to warrant the high mantle of an All blacks coach.
Goldie and JK need to have their seating positions re-located. They reminded me, at times, of a pair of old aseels 'squaring' across the scratch-line in the sand. Bloody well played Drua. You sure enough ruled the roost at the week-end.🐓
Right now DMac looks the most threatening and creative first five in the country. And he never goes missing in action. Something we have experienced against tough opposition over the last five years. Couldn’t see it a year ago, but convinces me now and will just get better.
DMac is the best 10 we have in New Zealand right now. Watching that guy live he’s unbelievable never seen someone so calm play 80 min he’s creativity is next level
Inexcusable…..Crusaders didn't send an inexperienced side they had Reece, Whitelock and other AllBlacks in it and of you're talking about Heat…..doesn't it mean it's unfair for the Drua to play in NZ and Aus because of its cold weather.
Does JK ever agree with anyone ever? It is like he always has to say the opposite to whatever anyone else is saying. He also butt's in before other person has finished their point.
Why are teams resting their test stars? How can Super Rugby compete with NRL when the unions are not treating it as a full blown league, but simply as warm ups for test rugby?
Thanks NZ, for giving us John Plumtree back again. Having coached Ireland and NZ, under Foster and Joe Schmidt, he has the wealth of experience and insight to what it takes. He came back to the Sharks, where he feels at home. Maybe he will coach the Boks some day.
Scotland fan here. We’ll do you a deal. You take Jamie Joseph and we’ll throw in Toonie as your attack coach with lots of international experience. We’ll take Razr, give him some international experience and then in 4-8 years time we can do another deal and you can have Razr and we’ll take your next great coach looking for international experience. Worked for Hansen and Henry. We’d happily do that deal. 😅
This show needs a forward .too many show ponies ..show needs a grinder a real tough bloke .maybe someone in the mould of Richard dirty Loe …or just a proper rough forward .these backs just want to sound good in front of the camera .we need proper debating.this coming from the biggest bokke supporter
I think it made sense for the crusaders to choose this game to rest some all blacks as they’re required to. It’s easy to say it was a strategic error with the benefit of hindsight. They were playing against local Fijian players, the squad they had should have been good enough, they still had 6 all blacks in their side, plus and England international, plus experienced players like Tom Christie, Quentin MacDonald, Chat Fihaki. The Drua were just too good.
The Drua were the better team for most of the game, they botched a few scoring opportunities, missed a few kicks, then discipline let the crusaders back in the last 10 mins. The crusaders were actually lucky the score wasn’t higher. It was just one of those days where Fiji was in the zone. It happens with the international team too. When they’re in the zone they’re a tough team to beat.
Every Fijian doesn't care whether you leave some All Blacks back in NZ or you play all of them on game day, Drua beat the Crusaders. Just like the panel mentioned, Fair and Square! Waiting for the Chiefs now.
The rest policy is what is wrong with Rugby. There is effectively only one pro club in NZ – the All Blacks. The unions need to break away from NZR and create their own competition. The top heavy model is not working , Super Rugby has suffered.

Stupid question. Anyone know how to contact the breakdown show – possible email?

What about Kevin Mealamu? He'd be IDEAL. What a role model, as the face of NZ Rugby!

RTS is not AB material Kirwan keeps banging on about him. There are other players other than the Blues and he talk BS all the time.
RTS 🤣🤦🏽♂️😂
Is it fair for me to say that the NZ Rugby public is ok with whatever happens in this years world cup? No pressure at all?
Toso Drua Toso 🇫🇯
Great win Drua, especially when they lose so many players to both league & union
Magnificent!!!
Cheatsuders weren't playing Fijian style. They scored 3 tries from rollin maul 🤣
Go Chiefs and the Drua 💪✌🤳

Mils loves himself a Crusaders loss. Same here bro, same here.

I love how hard you're ignoring the Brumbies.
Shaun Stevenson in good form.
Yep Lock is a worry…
Get off the RTS burning wagon JK! 🤮

Razor is gonna take over from Lancaster at Leinster…….hopefully
JK should realise now The ABs haven't a hope of beating either Ireland or SA at the WC quater final so it will be an early flight home
David Havili = intercept pass at international lvl

That French performance deserved more discussion. Clear WC favourites

A Rugby 7s Commentator once said, "when FIJI meets NZ , the earth moves !!!"👊👊❤💙🖤…KIA ORA and BULA VINAKA.
Whether we resting players or not, these a pro rugby players. This is your job, learn to adapt in any environment.
But what dignity will Robertson bring to the role?
Please Super Round in Suva, Fiji next year!
Bula Vinaka 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
