The 2024 other sports thread

[Aucklander]

Like other sports, well here is a place you can discuss those within the board rules of course.

I follow multiple sports and not surprisingly most of the key ones are Kiwi-based sides like the Warriors, Breakers, Wellington, Blues, along, of course, with our National teams in most sports.

Like GG.exe I do like a bit of American Football and follow the Dalla Cowboys. Lakers too and the Ducks.

Notts Forest fan in the Premier league.

It's probably fair to say the teams I do support most passionately now though is, Rupertswood in the EDFL and Collingwood in the AFL.

How about you?

 

[Nuggetz]

Love NBA but don't follow a team closely. Follow cricket with India being my fav team.

 

[Jatz]

Follow most sports.

Carlton in the AFL
Philadelphia in the NFL
Chicago in the NBA
Leicester in the PL

Also watch/love cricket and motorsport (F1's, Moto GP etc).

Gotta love the Balck Caps, although to be fair, missing Boult.

What's the go with Boult, injured?

Will be a sad day when Southee and Boult are no longer there.

I don't know mate. Think it might be to do with the 20/20 stuff.

On a green top and can still only take 3 wickets.

If he's not injured, he should absolutely be there.

Shame, you were really on top early.

Game's as good as gone now.

Huge one coming up for the Phoenix tonight.

I never saw it, but a huge win for the Chiefs.

 

[Aucklander]

The Blues off to a good start while the shocking weather in NZ might save the BC's.

I am absolutely less than a casual fan of Union, what the old Super 15 look like now?

Last I heard Aussie teams were only playing Aussie teams etc.

It’s now 12 teams.
5 from NZ, 5 from Aust, a team from Fiji and a pacific island team based at mt smart

This week, all the teams will play out of AAMI Park for a super round.

 

[Aucklander]

The BC's were going so well too.

Hell of a knock by Williamson.

Can't afford to give up a first innings like that though.

Read my sig.

What a bloody win.

 

[Jatz]

What a bloody win.

Absolutely incredible test match.

That format will forever be the best.

I think I've watched the highlights about 20 times. It's not like the BC's have ever had much to get excited about, but yesterday was certainly one of those.

 

[Aucklander]

Very interesting little run chase coming up for Australia.

 

[Jatz]

It's concerning that 75 runs isn't a given haha

That pitch is atrocious.

It's disgusting really. Shouldn't be finishing test matches on the first session of the third day.
