    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    Uncanny. Stead has the same aim.

    Even better.

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    The 'big 3' has a reverential feel to it. Can we agree on 'the moneybags 3', so it's clear what the 'big' element refers to. TIA.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Robinson, particularly. Seemed to miss straight ones, and castled twice.

    I take your point, though I'm not sure it needs pointing out.

    Jeepers. Stats laid bare.

    Yeah, that one from Moana. Most sensible voice on the selection panel.

    I'll take this opportunity to introduce you to Gary Stead and his merry band of selection men.

    21st century ball of the century.

    Could watch this for days.

    Ultimately, who knows. I genuinely didn't recall how bad his record got towards the end. He was averaging 40 at one point for NZ. Unheard of in that era.

    Ruds' book was a work of fiction. Well, he certainly lied about a lot of his own behaviour. Howarth was a heavy drinker for years when he was playing, and then coaching.

    Yes, and drinking heavily.

    This is all true. I am pretty down on the guy now, and I seem to forget what a great player he's been for us. NZ ATG.

    I think you're being harsh on Howarth here. 6 test hundreds, which was great for a NZer at the time and his average was equal with any other player in that era. He barely overlapped with Crowe, or Reid (who played relatively few tests) and he averaged around the same as Wright (and Edgar) during...

    Averaging 32 for NZ in that era was about right. Bootsy Edgar (Wgtn legend) averaged 30 and he was one of our better players during that time. John Wright, the same. Howarth was also a vg captain; certainly better than Germon or Southee. Not sure of my point.

    For every SA20, there's a Gary Stead.

    On what basis does Wagner get in the team? Been a fantastic servant but, crikes, he's done. Done.
