International Pacific Championship

[VB89]

Is Kini fully fit/in form? He offers alot more than CNK on a good day

 

[Zaggo]

Is there a marketing campaign or anything going around that I've missed? Feels like there's very little fanfare, the games just happening and anyone who bothers to show up is a bonus.

Are you living under a rock? I see promo for it multiple times a day, and have done for weeks.

Billboards, endless social content, radio partnerships, the fan day - there's a lot out there.

Must be.

When/where's the fan day?

If only Brandon Smith was in form to take that 14 jersey………

Strong wet weather team.
I’d be flabbergasted if this team guts out enthused on Sunday.

Kiwis comfortably.

Dunno about that ... Toa look very strong

 

[Cces]

Why do Toa persist with Tevaga at #9? 7 Tests in the position for one win (over Cook Islands) and they have only scored more that 18 points once in those 7

It was on Tuesday afternoon at the Mt Albert Lions clubrooms

I know this is for the Pacific Championship. But, as it is partly for the 2025 International season.

Do we know if SKY will be playing the Ashes Series?

If they don't, they're even more stupid than I thought. It's incredible what they don't show - the last 2 England series, plus the women's game in Vegas.

Looking at the tickets still available, was not looking that good till NZRL did that 24 hour sale....disappointing it won't sell out

Looking forward to the physicality in the first 20 minutes.

Be a battle of attrition.

Paulo will bring the fire knowing he is next to Payne Hass.

Leota will bring it to sure them up.
Fish will rise to the occasion next to his best mate.
Ice will be pretty important helping to contain them two wrecking balls as well.

Personally I would start Crossland for that period.
He dont have the skill set of JMK.
But the kid is tough as f@#k and plays his heart out.

Hope the Kuki's do well against The Bati.
Both nations have proud following.
Just expect The Bati to have to much fire power???

Sales are looking a lot healthier than they were a week ago, but still disappointing that it's taking so much effort (and sales) to get interest.

Two stacked lineups going at each other, can't believe people aren't queuing up for tickets.

One current and one former Warriors prospect paired up together for the Kuki

Putoko always struck me as a ball player despite only seeing him play centre, wing and full back at league.

Good to see Cowley pop up after seeing him just before Covid as a quality junior 6/7 at rep level in NZ.

There's online chat he'll switch to Fullback & Marsters into to the halves before kickoff. Will be interested to see how they line up
