    Season will begin shortly here in NZ… looking forward to the Lions Tour.

    Have you guys heard of the book Legacy: What the All Blacks Can Teach Us About the Business of Life. 15 Lessons In Leadership written by James Kerr?

    It's got some interesting insights into the All Blacks culture, things like sweeping the sheds after games... you'd be hard pressed to find any tier 1 teams doing that... although I saw the Australian team picking up rubbish not long ago so they've obviously read the book.

    How is England going under Eddie Jones?

      Three wins off breaking New Zealands record of consecutive wins…..So OKish  😃

        Wow! We never really see any of the games in Europe… Eddie Jones is a good coach.

          Well done Scotland and Ireland. On my way to Twickers now, don't mess this one up England!

            Have fun @Maynard Friedman - I used to manage occasional corporate hospitality at Twickers and saw some great matches, but not for many years…  will be watching from comfort of sofa  🙂

              Cheers madam b, I'm hoping for a try-fest and edging one step closer to the world record for consecutive victories, but I'm counting no chickens…

                Brilliant tactics used by Italy. New Zealand Super Rugby teams were doing this a few seasons ago, although nowhere near as good as Italy.

                  OK you Iron Hearters, this Saturday's All Blacks - Lions is a HUGE game
                  Lions have a shot at winning the series
                  I've watched all the games of this tour, skipping work when necessary
                  I'm a big AB fan and usually feel pretty confident, but this time, I'm kinda biting my nails already.

                    #prayforthelions - I really hope they can cause an upset on Saturday.

                            6 Nations is back! I have a sneaking feeling that England won’t make it 3 in a row this year, hope I’m wrong though.

                            Could be the most open tournament we’ve had in a few years.

                              I am still enthusiast and optimist to see the french team back. Not easy…but!but! Young talent Jalibert -19 years old- will start today. Front Sexton...for a start for him...✌️

                                    France are a steaming pile of "shined". Sorry @hajduk  😛 . They'll still beat Wales though  😞

                                    But Wales have been pegged as the worst of the home nation teams this year (partially because of injuries) and still managed to put in an awesome shift against the Scots (I know it's only Scotland, but still). Cymru am byth!

                                      Cruel finish. But…so little rugby proposed and so many faults offered by Les Tricolores...so longtime now with a so poor rugby...
                                      That’s sad...
                                      I give a shit about the final score. But wait and wait our famous french flair back on the field...

                                        Beautiful 6 nations day!! Ireland made the grand slam! At Twickenham!! Beautiful! Love it!
                                        And the Tricolores! It was rugby time in the Wales! Loss at the score but…something is back maybe...[emoji869][emoji869]

                                          I finally payed up for a Viasat subscription (because of Liverpool in the CL) and I had no idea I got 6 nations. I've had such a good day with the rugby. Great results all round, but the Wales-France game was so much fun. France's first try was beautiful. Quick hands close running, very French.
