Rugby Pass Podcast: The Short Ball with Scotty Stevenson and Mils Muliaina

Marty Banks

This week the boys discuss the upcoming semi finals in Super Rugby and chat with a special guest.

A very dusty sounding Marty Banks joins Scotty and Mils after an extended Highlanders end of season get together, and gives his insights on an unconventional career path that saw him journey from Russia to Buller to Super Rugby.

Former Chiefs player Mils making a startling admission about the hatred between the Chiefs and Crusaders coming about because the rivalry with the Blues became too one-sided, as well predictions on the way the two semis will go this weekend.

How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

I don’t see any problem with the way the bench has been interpreted in practice, and whatever the intention really was it doesn’t matter. So why is a review necessary?

Don’t be so disingenuous JW. I’ve been as clear as daylight in way I constructed the article and the conclusions I’ve drawn. The AB forwards/backs sizes actually support the theory too.


You may not agree but you’ve given no evidence to support it.

They won’t start Jegou ahead of the others as a specialist 7.


The pattern of picking a huge THP and big bloke behind goes all the way down to the 20’s, where a couple of years back they had a 130 kilo THP and Posolo Tuilagi [150 k’s] behind him.


As far as NZ goes, the forwards average out at 116 k’s [I prefer EDG to Tamaiti as I think he’s still the starting #1], the backs at 95 kilos, so the total is +21 kilos which supports the theory!

The Champions' Cup - a paradise lost?

I heard about the crypto asset trading platform “costmictop.cc”, through an online community. I then opened an account, deposited funds, and believed I was making profitable trades. I was even able to withdraw $15,000 from my account. But when I tried to withdraw additional funds, the platform demanded I pay $46,000 for “commissions”. I paid, but the platform demanded I deposit another $130,000 for “Security Verification” before I could withdraw my money. I was able to recover my funds, after I contacted HACKWEST at WRITEME dot COM and narrated my ordeal. He swung into action and recovered my money totaling about $345,000 USDT. The platform’s website is no longer in operation. I will remain grateful to team Hack West!

Fin Smith: Northampton Saints face battle to keep England star

On my credit I have the issue of payments irregularities, a credit score as low as 586, background checks, bad credit reports so I can’t condone the hardness of paying up my credit, as a matter of fact I just loosed my job recently, to cater for the kids is another burden on me since I’m a single mother of 3, so I called on HACKWESTAT WRITEME DOT COM when I saw someone recommend him for credit help on a credit blog, the recommendation I saw are all encouraging, I got in touch with him on phone and we discussed about the credit fix and the way forward, he promised to help and will be honest with me, I held his words and gave West go ahead, within nine days my credit has been perfectly fixed, no more evictions, bad reports, repos, everything was done appropriately without any cause for alarm, my credit score was also boosted to a very much encouraging limit of about 798 on average, I can’t express to you guys how much I’m happy now, I’m now the proud owner of a well-furnished home in DALLAS. This is a year of wonders and miracles in my life. I just decided to share.

Yes that was meant to be a criticism of the comp, not the English fans!

Yep I’m all for safety especially if it means forwards are spending more time on their skills and less in the gym.


It’s simply best for everyone.

Fair enough, but who cares. What they intended then is irrelevant outside of them predicting what would happen (purposefully leaving the laws loose and wanting it to go this way), and we all know there’s no way they predicted this. So anything the thought then? They will need to review the impact of the changes and re-imagine what they want all over again.


Then someone else will find a way to get ahead, and that would be viewed as either a good or bad change.. and on and on.

‘Got to make a move’: Blues skipper keeps it honest after latest defeat

I remember Paddy’s smugness on The Breakdown SRP Preview Show when he named the Canes & Reds as the Blues’ main challengers to the Title this season. When asked why he ignored the Chiefs & Saders, he dismissed both teams as “always there . . . in the background” & doubled-down on his Canes/Reds comment.


Oops 😂😂😂😂😂

Mark Tele'a's departure sends unsettling message to NZRU over wantaway All Blacks

There was nothing of Telea to remember in the first 30 minutes.

And then he was quite correctly red carded.

Unless the Blues miraculously qualify for the finals he perhaps has played his last game in NZ.

It was always a red and I'm sure the judiciary will agree and give him a three week suspension. Your Blues bias is just so predictable.

sorry, I did word that poorly, I meant the tackle was shocking , it was always going to be a red card. I do hope Clarke recovers some form quickly , last year he was more effective than Telea anyway, but that Blues slump seems to be contagious.

Super Rugby Pacific performers of the week round 10

I became a victim of a romance scam that led me to invest $254,000 in Tether (USDT) on a fake site. After realizing I had been scammed, I felt utterly hopeless and desperate for help. I began searching for a hacker online and came across Ultimate Hacker Jerry. His professionalism and expertise gave me hope. Jerry worked tirelessly to recover my lost funds, and I’m thrilled to say he succeeded! I am incredibly grateful for his assistance and highly recommend his services to anyone in a similar situation. Thank you, Jerry!
