PERRIAMS POWER RANKINGS - 25 AUGUST 2025
Each week we announce Perriams “Game Changers” for the week.
1. Argentina’s win over our All Blacks, they were simply too good and too smart for us. It will be a long flight home for the ABs, they might even have to go economy!
2. The Ranfurly Shield. It still has it’s lure as the most sought after trophy in New Zealand history and its on the road again with Waikato having picked it up off Taranaki over the weekend.
3. Our Black Ferns are out of the gate with a 54–8 win over Spain in their campaign to defend the Rugby World Cup.

📊OF INTEREST
Last week the Reserve Bank dropped the OCR by another 25 basis points but at the same time signalled perhaps two further rate cuts to come. Good or not good? Not good, why? It resembles only one thing, our economy is still struggling big time.
📈THE MARKETS
