Before the Break Allianz Premier 15s – Round 14

(Super Rugby Aupiki results below) One thoroughly exciting game versus four walk-overs. That is not how the Prem 15s was meant to work out. As we move into the 6 Nations break, the gap between the top 5 and bottom 5 opens out to twelve points; within those bottom five the margin is a chasm-like

Super Aupiki leaves a lot to be desired

  • Bruce Perkins
  • 1 Apr 2022
  • Rugby Union

Ten days after it started New Zealand’s Super Rugby Aupiki was over. Officials and planners are now assessing what it achieved and what remains to be done. For many the answer to the second question is: an awful lot. The tournament had been dreamed up long before the Black Ferns’ fateful 2021 tour of Europe

Sorry, Devs, have only just spotted your comment. No bitterness; it's just that the circuses I saw as a kid went round in circles, not straight for the line. And once upon a time Glaws and Gloucester-Hartpury were known as the Cherry and Whites.

Devs. 07 Feb 2026

The Circus....as they like be known...forgive me...a hint of bitterness from Bruce.

Jennie Powell. 03 Feb 2026

While Bruce is perfectly able to respond to your comment, I’d just like to say that I think you misinterpret his words. He welcomes the high standards while at the same time wishing that other clubs also had the possibility to compete at that level.

Karl. 03 Feb 2026

Bruce, whilst complementary on Table position, forever seems a bit miffed that Hartpury & Gloucester-Hartpury thriving...& their set-up, their setting of standards.

Kalpna. 20 Jan 2026

What an inspiring lineup of Para Lioness stars, rising rugby talent, and future Olympians at the University of Bath truly motivating to see such dedication and support for student-athletes! I found this especially encouraging as someone exploring study opportunities abroad; I used https://www.studyinuk.com/to plan my own UK journey and it was super helpful.

Karl. 16 Dec 2025

Bruce always so strangely disgruntled with GH & EQP ...comparing GH with Ealing...ffs, where the GH Pathway just a natural Uni progression of mainly British Isles young talented Women compared to the signing of over seas stars...Suspect he'll be chearing that greatly anticipated first Women's British & Irish Lions?

Karl. 29 Nov 2025

Sorry Bruce, may not meet your London-love requirements.

Jennie Powell. 22 Nov 2025

Agreed

Peter Mannifield. 22 Nov 2025

Thanks for the above Jennie... Assuming -squad sizes of 30???, -Internationally capped players are remunerated by their respective unions, and -no limits on how many Red Roses, for instance, can be signed by 1 club.. I think the Cap will only have a very limited affect [and is so far below £ wise what the men get per head as to be embarrassing]
