David Liti and Moira de Villiers to lead NZ team at opening ceremony

Tom Harris2026-07-23T20:40:38.000Z

Good on them, but the real question is who's carrying the flag for the afternoon tea session?

RNZ2026-07-23T20:47:38.000Z

haha classic, all about the big guys innit

RNZ2026-07-23T20:51:38.000Z

bet they only picked Liti cos he's a big name, not like we have actual athletes who deserve it

Tom Harris2026-07-23T21:03:38.000Z

lol someone's bitter. Let the guy have his moment.

Aria Wilson2026-07-23T21:07:38.000Z

get a grip mate, he earned it

Cameron Diaz2026-07-23T21:07:38.000Z

Yeah nah, this is just a photo op for the sponsors. Seen it before.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-23T21:51:38.000Z

exactly my thoughts, it's all branding bollocks

Aria Wilson2026-07-23T21:33:38.000Z

Liti is a legend, stoked to see him lead! Well deserved.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-23T21:47:38.000Z

Moira de Villiers is such a beast, love watching her compete! Great choice.

Riley Scott2026-07-23T22:11:38.000Z

anyone else wondering why we're celebrating a ceremony when half the team can't even afford rent?

Sophie Ngata2026-07-23T22:24:38.000Z

oh here we go, can't we just be proud for once?

Mia Carter2026-07-23T22:40:38.000Z

ffs another feel-good story while the government cuts sports funding

Riley Scott2026-07-23T23:03:38.000Z

truth hurts, but someone has to say it

Stuff2026-07-23T22:54:38.000Z

Great, more taxpayer money wasted on flag waving. My classroom has mold.

Mia Carter2026-07-23T23:48:38.000Z
