    Very slick start from the ABs.

    Rieko would have scored on the left 😉 but nice finish from Reece on the right.

      Is there a reason for the blue and orange (tape?) boots?

      Or the black lines on the field. Looks like they might have forgotten to do them earlier and found some diesel and a stray paint brush and painted them on as a quick fix.

        That's quite interesting, although I didn't notice until you just mentioned it.

          I like the way they used Ardie on that inside ball, I assume that they will use this game to test that sort of thing.

            It's the kind of detail you can't use at night 😎

                I reckon they look pretty good. Maybe they just ran out of white doing all the AIG signs.

                      Get Todd off the field. Has the impact of soggy Weet-Bix. Pat T carrying on from rhe Bledisloe game. Big impact on defence.

                                    So that's one turnover won for three lost?

                                      4 turnovers conceded in 14 minutes. Almost as if we don’t have an open side on the park...

                                        I think he’s too old for wing now, much more at home at the back.
