@tim FABRT showing out early.

[Tim]

@bones

Another long season for the Waratahs?

[Bones]

@tim how the fark did they ever win the bloody thing.

[KiwiMurph]

@bones They even lost to the Blues that year!

[Tim]

@bones Well, Cheika's actually a pretty good coach when he's not having a spaz, and they had a number of players who went to Europe for big bucks after that.

[Stargazer]

Good lad, that young Magpie Jonah Lowe. Hat-trick for the Canes today.

@stargazer Don't get used to Lowe playing...

[Stargazer]

@bones I know, he's not from Wellington.

It's like foreplay

Hurricanes v Crusaders pre season match

The same YouTube user put up most of last years pre season matches. Hopefully a few more turn up on this channel

Highlanders v Waratahs

Peter Umaga-Jensen was looking sharp on attack.

LOL for the player who responded to the ref's scrum advice of "everyone needs to find their hole" with "like a gangbang - everyone needs to find their hole".

Blues first-five Stephen Perofeta is likely to miss his team's first match of the new Super Rugby season due to a broken bone in his hand.

for fucks sake. You have to wonder about his durability - he had that ankle injury in last year's preseason.

Hopefully it's just one week. Knowing the Blues history it will probably balloon out to a month.

Blues just can't get a break, well, apart from Perofeta's...
