The Blues are coming to terms with their title defence being over after the 21-14 semi-final defeat to the Crusaders in Christchurch. 

The Crusaders will host either the Chiefs or Brumbies next weekend in the decider, after absorbing a ferocious Blues performance. 

The home side trailed 14-nil early and then were forced to park up at their own try-line as the Blues threw 40 phases at them to try and send the game to extra...

The World Test Championship final is heading for quite the finish.  

As we sit, South Africa needs 69 runs to get their hands on the Mace, still the coolest trophy in sport.   

This means the game will actually get to day 4, a triumph in itself after the first two days where wickets tumbled with T20-like regularity, the game devolving into a war of attrition. It’s as if the players didn’t want to be there, and it’s e...

I’m fascinated by the accelerated criticisms around the finals structure of Super Rugby Pacific.  

Granted, the process is not perfect. The matches could have been ordered in manner that may avoid the probability that the Hurricanes-Brumbies encounter result will be essentially of little import.  

The nature of qualification where a life is offered to the highest qualifying loser isn’t ideal.  

The issue here of cour...

Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan says they can't afford to take the Blues lightly in today’s Super Rugby Pacific qualifying final in Hamilton.  

The Chiefs beat the Blues twice this season, although their previous meeting was a one-point win. 

McMillan feels they can't read much into the Blues' recent form but acknowledges the threat of the defending champions. 

Tonight’s game is a rematch of last year’s final, in which...

The recent explosion of side-show violence masquerading as sport and the associated media coverage has been quite the eye opener. Basically, it's a Darwin Award trilogy. Combat sports’ way of contributing to the awards which recognize individuals who have aided human evolution by removing themselves from the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilized under their own steam.
