Be impressed by both Blues locks. Darry more filled out and going well

I reiterate my desire to see Beerhe play some time at blindside for the ABs

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph throw in Papalii and Barnes going pretty well
CC playing with plenty of energy

[KiwiMurph]

Tupaea might have tweaked a knee

[KiwiMurph]

Awful handling there.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph can’t draw and pass and the kick ahead in the previous play was not the option

[taniwharugby]

early season lack of cohesion for both sides

[Gunner]

This is shit rugby.

[Mattasaurus]

Early season is such a BS excuse for the shitty handling --- its a fundamental - these guys are paid professionals and should be executing at a far higher level

[Tim]

Imagine the difference a good halfback would make ...

[game_film]

Woke up a bit later than I’d like here in the UK and in time for the second half. Wondering if I could go back to bed

[Bones]

Scrums are a fucking abomination in this match.

Absolutely go back to sleep. More productive than watching this.

First half wasn't broadcast anyway!

@Mattasaurus problem is, they play pre-season, and use the wider squads, giving no real gametime, then the ABs are in and out, really doesnt do the 'super rugby product' any favours.

Bingo

[Steven Harris]

Dyer way off side and nothing from the ARs they must have been looking at the crowd

[Tim]

Can Tupaea scrum?

[sparky]

There seems to be a real shortage of smart footy players in NZ Rugby at the moment. Do they all get signed up by League?

[game_film]

@Bones Might have been better if it stayed that way

[taniwharugby]

Vaai doesnt seem to use his brain, see him take a swipe at the ball in Christies hands...
