The Cake Tin … opps, Wellington’s Westpac Stadium has been voted best sports venue in New Zealand.
A nationwide survey has found most New Zealanders rate the Cake Tin tops for overall satisfaction. The venue leads the field in seating comfort and layout, toilet facilities, transport, pre-event entertainment and overall value for money.

I don’t normally flog almost an entire story but seeing a paid journo did it and got away, then I may as well do it too.
A former Manawatu rugby administrator has written an open letter to the NZRFU and it’s certainly worth reading. Especially so as it appears on the Manawatu Sub Standard section of [...]

Certainly it’s easy to draw comparisons with the other New Zealand A-league franchises and put the spin on the fact that the Nix are the [...]

A quick flashback to 2008 and the Kiwis pull off a rugby league miracle.
Let’s hope for another one tomorrow morning.
Here’s the highlights with the number one commentary team:

Great to see the Shield go to Southland, 50 years after they last had it.
Amid the largely turgid offerings of the NPC, it’s an obviously stand out moment of the season.
The game itself was nothing to note in terms of entertainment – 9-3 is the type of scoreline we used to laugh about in NZ. [...]
