Today marks exactly 100 years since the first ever All Blacks v Springboks test, played at Carisbrook in Dunedin. It was the start of the most heated and controversial rivalry in rugby, on and off the field. Read about all of it in my book The Hundred Years’ War:

Well, he was right
Jono Gibbes just came out and said he expects his Chiefs side to be playing the Hurricanes next weekend in the final. When pressed about it, he doubled down. Love the honesty

Great endorsement for Super Rugby Pacific
This is one of the best semis you’ll ever see

Pita Ahki quick to remind us that @StadeToulousain won the Champions Cup and Top 14 because they’d banked enough points to offset the midseason bender

Just a reminder on the eve of the World Cup that the World Cup is not a cup

Bit of chat on about who’d win out of the Hurricanes and Bordeaux-Begles. Pita Ahki won five Top 14 titles with Toulouse, now back at the Blues so he’s in a about as good a position as anyone to compare Super Rugby Pacific and the Top 14 🇳🇿🏉🇫🇷

Some blow alright given that if the Anzac Bledisloe happens it’ll be in Australia
The Warriors have landed a blow against rugby union. The securing of Eden Park for their ANZAC Day game next season has left the NZRU and Rugby Australia scrambling for a venue for their own ANZAC Day game next year. 📝 @DaveRic1
