ffs politicians getting owned by rugby lads, what else is new?

Luca Reid2026-06-29T06:55:43.000Z

total waste. They probably claim it as 'team building'.

Kai Thompson2026-06-29T06:14:43.000Z

Simon Watts should stick to budgets, not try to tackle ex-All Blacks. Embarrassing.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-29T06:30:43.000Z

Bet they only turned up for the photo op. Useless as always.

He's got more ticker than most in that house tbh

Taine Randell still has it! Should run for parliament haha

imagine a front bench of Randell, Carter, McCaw. Now that'd be something.

Didn't realise we were paying for their little rugby club. Cheers Luxon.
