    @Daffy-Jaffy Yeah, he played 6 for Harbour last year, IIRC.

    There were some highlights on TV3 news tonight. They said O'Connor had a good game.

    No resistance from Blackadder in defence for that first try.

    Looks like Taufa Funaki played the first half.

    @Tim Yeah, did not see Christie at all. Must have picked up a late niggle? Also the team list graphic was wrong re: Tupaea being Tighthead. He played loosehead. Your boy Cook seemed to go well. I observed from NPC that he has a big engine and looks to make impact when he is around the ball. Just has a bit to learn about running lines when playing 6. Very promising though.

    That's pretty rough when he made the two tackles prior to that.

    But yeah, fuck him.

    Just storing this away for later:

    "Razor has put the pressure back on us to perform in Super Rugby to get picked again. He’s made it clear if we’re not performing, we’re not going to be there again.”

    That’s a Tui ad right there.

    The article said EB played well for 20 minutes without injury. He can last 20 minutes now! Hallelujah!
    "For starters, Ethan Blackadder was impressive during his 20 minutes, highlighted by a couple of steals and a thumping hit on Blues pivot Harry Plummer, and he got through unscathed."

    And here I thought after last season, flankers thumping first fives is a bad thing, they're thugs and it's a sign of weakness everywhere else in their game.

    That’s a massive blow. All teams are definitely taking some hits before the season has even begun.
