The Auckland Nines

We should be inviting the Kiwi women's team to play a three test series - all as curtain raisers to the Eng v Kiwis test series. If the RFL can't sense the massive shift in appreciation of women's sport then they are clueless. They may even get their games on the BBC red button and highlights on the BBC as the camera equipment is already there. Well worth the investment to pay for them to come over for PR purposes alone. They also play some good stuff was very impressed this morning.

I'm certainly looking forward to the other two matches between these teams.

That women's game actually looked really good from the highlights, big hits and a couple of skilful tries. Excellent stuff. 

It was one of the most entertaining matches of day 1. The crowd really got into it too.

Loved the tacking of Ruan Sims, sister of Ashton, Tariq and Korbin. Great comments from Andrew Voss as usual

Imagine being the parent of the Sims kids when they were growing up!

 

Mind you, the same goes for the three Peters sisters in the Ferns team. After the first big hit, the commentator called Rona Peters 'The Ironing Lady', and for good reason - she left her opponent neatly flattened and folded!

Voss is a class commentator and should be Australia's main RL commentator except he had the guts to stand up to that disgraceful grub & (Western Sydney God like figure) ray hadley and unfortunately Andrew paid the price.. Don't care who wins the 9's so long as it's not cronulla that club has no business being anywhere near trophy's.

Fell asleep much earlier than id have liked last night, but were there as many spectacular corner flag tries this year? I didnt see many.

There does seem to be a lot of unstructured touch rugby stuff versus last year.

Canterbury v Brisbane - two teams playing very badly. A poor show.

Just a little side note, The young fella playing for Souths Angus Chrichton is an Australian RU junior so we have got on to go the other way and he looks the goods to me.

What were Parramatta up to with their substitutions? Making sure there were nine on the pitch isn't hard - even Terry Matterson can count that high on his fingers...

Another try for Matt King, Warrington fans!

 

The difference in pace between the play in the good games and the bad ones is stark.

Just realised - this time next year, Joe Burgess could be playing Nines for the Roosters. That would definitely be worth staying up for.

Warriors v Sharks next. Big home team support, but Cronulla have been playing some good stuff so far.
