Matt won again, but there was no joy for our other punters… Will this be the week? We certainly hope so!
The Drawing Board – End of year tour review
A stunning victory by England over world champions New Zealand and seven tries from Ireland against Argentina were two rare high points for the home nations in the November internationals against the visitors from the south. Read more…
The Punt #70
It’s a little delayed, but don’t fear The Punt is here. Nobody had a win on the Melbourne Cup unfortunately, but there are definitely some promising bets on this week. Which punt do you think is the best value?

RWC Days 4 + 5 + 6
We have had a fair bit to be excited about over here in NZ. The rugby action has been good for the most part, with games being well attended and played in good spirits. There have been a couple of good ones to boot and plenty of well worked tries as well. We move more into the second round, with some of the bigger teams playing over the weekend. Firstly though, here is a look at what has happened with days 4, 5 and 6. Read more…

RWC Day 3
The Rugby World Cup (RWC) powered through its third day of matches, with many more fascinating games on offer.

The Drawing Board – Rugby World Cup 2011 Preview (7/9/11)
Welcome to the Drawing Board, Who’s Playing Who?’s one stop rugby shop. The World Cup starts this Friday, with excitement reaching fever pitch. I’ll be doing a bit of a different Drawing Board this week and during the world cup. No News this week, but I will still do a brief ITM/Currie Cup wrap here. During the World Cup however, I will be doing a blog post almost every day to provide up to date and awesome analysis. Canterbury and Hawke’s Bay won the ITM Premiership and Championship finals respectively. This is Canterbury’s fourth consecutive title, whilst for Hawke’s Bay they earn promotion to the Premiership. The Lions, Sharks, Cheetahs and Western Provence all enjoyed victories in the Currie Cup. Read more…
