    • 9 Mar 2023
    • Wellington Club Weekly
    • By Kevin McCarthy Move on. Move on. Heard that a bit this week, after Ardie Savea’s infamous throat-slit gesture. Moving on for some meant justifying or rationalising the act. Odd stance. You can’t really do that and expect an apology to be enough. No-one thinks it was meant in a literal sense, but guys like...

    8 Things You Didn’t Know About The All Blacks

    • 24 Nov 2021
    • Wellington Club Weekly
    • New Zealand’s rugby team is one of the most famous (if not most famous) sports teams globally. The All Blacks are a dominant force in the rugby world and have a record for winning against every other team they play against. They are indeed the MVPs of sporting excellence. But, other than their pre-game Haka...

    • 31 Mar 2022

    • By Kevin McCarthy  Changes were to be expected for the Hurricanes for this Sunday’s match against the Chiefs, but I didn’t expect we’d see Jordie Barrett suddenly popping up at second-five. I haven’t seen any rationale for that, but there must be one. The Canes haven’t played a settled backline for a very long time...
