    @Bones I think Stuff have already taken down this article.

    Why? It's perfectly correct. Saders were playing well 'red hot', and (chiefs bye) off course they're eyeing top spot

    My favourite thing in Rugby is when my team wins.

    My second favourite thing is when a team that gets written off by the media wins against a much more fancied opponent. You can be sure that articles like that would have been put up in the MO players' room in the 24 hours before kick off.

      Amazing game from MP, no errors at all and some of those tries were ridiculous. I thought they'd run out of steam but there must have been more sugar cane at halftime.

      Crusaders however were woeful, gave the ref too much choice and skills weren't up to scratch. Complete turnaround from last week but that's what happens when the green starts to rub one way...

      Nice to see Auckland's best team doing well.

        One of the most dominant breakdown performances by an SR team for quite some time. Sensational at times

        Yep, and I was keeping an eye on Ethan Blackadder (always been a huge fan), and I ask is there a busier player, who actually does nothing of any worth? He was there but a second or 2 behind being useful all game!

          You can see the Tom Coventry imprint on the forwards. When MP are direct and physical they have been tough to stop.

            Nah that's what happens when you play a team that isn't dross.

              The emperor has always been nude, but I hope you're not questioning a selection decision by those who know better than you.

                I'm not at all worried about his selection. He'll ne injured for all but 1 or 2 AB games this season

                  Facetiousness aside, that fucks up getting an effective loosie proper embedding time in the ABs. It was a real issue last year, andas I pointed out above, can razor stop being a fucking chicken and embrace players he doesn't know personally that also don't have a ton of caps?

                    Was more than evident tonight. Industrious but that's about it. Very ineffective most of the time.

                        Well I really hope so, but think my hopes will be dashed. The Canes game yesterday was a great example of what a balanced 6/7/8 unit can do to an opposition.

                                Some ABs looked very fucking average out there.
                                Williams miss on Patafilo will be fun to watch in the review.
                                Those Moana loosies were great, Faiilagi was a machine.

                                  Awesome game from MP they might be really hard to beat at home after this win, confidence from this win away.
                                  Crusaders well you fuckers did not turn up
                                  It had a taste of Last year for me.
                                  Need to kick some arses, some players should pay when selection time comes around going forward.

                                      It had a taste of Last year for me.
                                      Need to kick some arses, some players should pay when selection time comes around going forward.

                                      Right down to the captain looking like an NPC player at best.
