Today marks exactly 100 years since the first ever All Blacks v Springboks test, played at Carisbrook in Dunedin. It was the start of the most heated and controversial rivalry in rugby, on and off the field. Read about all of it in my book The Hundred Years’ War:

It was a great day, & we raised a little under $200K. Tony Abbott and Jacinda Ardern both spoke wonderfully well - and hilariously - while Nathan Charles spoke movingly of what he faces with Motor Neuron Disease. Best lunch ever for the Cauliflower Club, with sold-out 730 crowd!

Anyone wondering why World Rugby outlawed hip drop tackles would do well to watch what just happened to Leroy Carter

Important to remember that while the Wallabies haven’t beaten the All Blacks on Eden Park in 40 years, the gap since their last test win there is a mere 15.

Bledisloe Cup chats with @JamieWall2 Have the All Blacks learned their lessons from GRT? How big a loss are Savea and Love? What have they fixed about the high ball? Do the Wallabies worry Kiwis? Predicted sides as well! youtu.be/EFrunO9VUk8?si=fvqQ…

Congratulations to Kyren but worth noting that Terry Wright’s previous record of 15 was achieved in only eight games

One of these was a genuinely iconic sporting moment. The other is just batting practice that’ll be forgotten about tomorrow.
2006 ▶️ 2026 20 years after the first, we have only the second men's ODI with a 400+ target successfully chased

Very sad to learn of the passing of Phil Gifford. A really wonderful guy first and foremost, and a legendary journalist. RIP Phil
