WTF is the farmlands cup when it's at home?
A sponsor. Farmlands is like RD1, rural supplies.

Logo at the top of the feed days 'farmlands cup' wtf is that? (.. 'When it's at home' maybe a UK/forces phrase, sorry)

So there's a cup for the pre season game? That'll take pride of place on someone's cabinet
@Machpants I see this is the 5th year of the fixture.
The Farmlands Cup would certainly stand out in your trophy cabinet.

Full time: Highlanders 7 - 41 Crusaders
Scorers:
Highlanders - Rob Thompson try; Mitchell Hunt con; YC - James Lentjes
Crusaders - Leicester Fainga'anuku 2x, Will Jordan, Michael Ala'alatoa, Fetuli Paea, Braydon Ennor, Tom Sanders tries; Brett Cameron, Bryn Hall 2x conIt's very hard to say anything about this game due to the bad quality stream. I understand from the commentary that Bryn Hall had a big impact when he came on. Going by what I've seen last week and the little bit today, I expect big things from Leicester Fainga'anuku.

Interesting to see Bryn Hall kicking the conversions now. Cameron missed a lot of attempts.
It's 41 - 7 to the Crusaders with 10 minutes to go.
@Stargazer He's a decent enough goalkicker. Was the main goalkicker for St Peter's at schoolboy level and even did a bit for North Harbour in the last year or 2.

Oh dear, will this apply to all All Blacks (at all 5 franchises)? Is this imposed by the ABs coaches/management?

I don't get the whiny-ness of that tweet - it's the opening round and just about every team in the comp will have a player on restricted minutes for some reason or another. Plus it happens pretty much every year. Plus NZR pays the bills for those players.

Sumo, as much as I enjoy his commentary, is very much in the anti-NZR, anything they as the establishment do is wrong school of thought.
I suspect it may have a bit to do with his employment in an organisation that does not have the broadcast rights.
