Someone has to say it, may as well be me. But let's park that for a minute because there's something more important to celebrate. The Crusaders are beyond awesome. Find me another word please that hasn't been used to describe this champion side.

For now anyway. Goodbye Super League and good riddance to your arrogant and idiotic plans for world football domination. A victory for the little people it was. The fans have spoken with a venom and collective will that sent these bloated billionaires scurrying back to their PR companies to issue a raft of hurriedly written insincere apologies.

The answer, right now, is no-one knows.

The Warriors are still the Warriors. As frustrating, exasperating and disappointing as ever pulling out a performance against Manly that even coach Brown called “horrible” and “terrible”. Way too early in that man’s tenure to be overly critical just yet but enough after the last two losses to certainly be at least a little concerned. Five games in and already that awful foreboding feeling of we’ve seen all this, all too often.Golden point is a marketing gimmick that adds absolutely nothing to Super Rugby Aotearoa except to contrive a result after the actual result has already been decided. What exactly is wrong with a draw again? And is a few extra minutes of frenetic headless-chook error-ridden panic-passing really the right way to conclude 80 minutes of honest endeavour?The Masters in April is a completely different tournament to the Masters played in November. Just ask the defending champ Dustin Johnson who couldn’t even make the cut. So much for lush greens, no run-off and dartboard fairways, Augusta was back to its fast and nasty best this weekend. The greatest golf tournament in the world never fails to provide compelling theatre, memorable individual storylines and a final round that is simply must-see sport.Finally, the Chiefs are, for now, the success story of Super Rugby Aotearoa. So much for those flash Harry Blues who everyone assumed were the only possible heir apparent to the Crusaders crown.

It's like playing a round in the Botanic Gardens. The scenery incredible, the course a picture postcard, the history and tradition of the event making it the most coveted major for professional golfers. Even the green jacket, awarded to and worn by the event winners, is kinda cool  for a gaudy looking man-made garment you'd only ever find in grandad's wardrobe.

After last week where the effort was lauded but the inventiveness lacked, Saturday’s win over Canberra is rightly being called one of the club’s best ever.

Again. Both in overall athlete(s) of the decade and most memorable moment. No disrespect at all to both rowing crews who were named on the night as champs but, for everything they achieved, the decade honours should've gone elsewhere.

Thank you for responding in the only way I'd hoped you would. Something I thought wasn't worth debating instantly became so the moment Reiko commented. I'm talking about about the usual inane woke over-reaction to Sevu Reece imitating Reiko's cross-armed try-scoring celebration.

I’m talking Blues vs Crusaders, Sunday afternoon at Eden Park. No more AC distractions, a fine forecast & excellent pre-sales all add up to what should be a terrific occasion - and one that repositions rugby as the major sports story of the weekend in these parts.

As those immortal words of PJ Montgomery re-rang around the viaduct basin last night the placed erupted with people yelling, cheering, singing, dancing, high fiving, hugging and generally going la-la.

The Crusaders are a national rugby treasure. What would SRA be without this champion franchise? Power, pace, at times breath-taking skill and a ruthless streak that can only be admired - even when they’re belting you own favourite side. Tony Johnson said it perfectly on Friday night with “they make the brilliant look easy”. Bring on the Blues, the only NZ side capable of testing them. And note I didn’t say “beat”, I said “test”.Paul Williams is, for now, the world’s worst TMO. Poor bloke had an absolute shocker over the weekend bungling several calls that will mean a very uncomfortable visit to the refereeing Headmaster’s office today.

One all after the first two races and everything to play for between us & them, TNZ & Luna Rossa. And c'mon, who isn't just the slightest bit concerned after "they" comfortably won that second race.

Kinda confusing this story that emerged on Sunday following a NZH article by Gregor Paul. It hasn't received nearly the amount of media attention, comment or international headlines it deserves and I think that's because, for most if not all of us, who knew he was still playing? To retire from something then technically you've got to be still doing it don't you?  Wed, 24 Feb 2021 23:34:44 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/weekend-sport-with-jason-pine/video/martin-devlin-t20-is-the-chewing-gum-of-world-cricket/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/weekend-sport-with-jason-pine/video/martin-devlin-t20-is-the-chewing-gum-of-world-cricket/ T20 is the chewing gum of world cricket.
