So why does Kearns carry on like a one-eyed flog in the commentary box?
maybe he and Marshall have some kind of bet on about who can be the worst Comms man, especially when both seem to offer great analysis away from the Mic.

Sotutu changed his positioning in the scrum to enable a faster pick from the scrum.
As soon as the All Blacks pack engages on the Wallabies’ 5m line, Sotutu immediately shifts from the conventional number-8 slot to bind between his openside flanker and loosehead lock. This enables him to pick up Codie Taylor’s channel-1 strike before the Australian back row has even started thinking about defending New Zealand’s first-phase attack; before Ned Hanigan knows it, the Blues loose forward is attacking the 10m of space on the short side at pace.

"bind between his openside flanker and loosehead lock. "
How fucking revolutionary! Like we never did that at schoolboy level in the fucking 1980s ...

@booboo You see it done at pro level very often?
Doesn't seem like something new, definitely seen it done before. Sotutu was lightening quick though.
Quick enough to play 12 you reckon?

He's going to have a tough time getting past Jordie and Clarke and whatever other shiny new wing people decide is suited to the midfield.

As long as Ardie is happy to transition to 13.

yes
I also thought they banned it a few years back. But that must have gone by the wayside

Man ANZ is a terrible stadium for fans.
The food is a fucking disgrace. Every single outlet sells the same shit - pies, chips, and hotdogs. You couldn't even get a pizza if you wanted, let alone some noodles or sushi or a decent burger. Imagine all the Asian cafe/restaurant owners who would love a crack at setting up in one of the kitchen to roll out awesome noodle/rice dishes at HT, could all be pre-prepared, pre-ordered, pre-paid for easy collection at HT.
At HT I queued up at one of the coffee bars for 15mins to get the kids a hot chocolate, only to be told they don't do hot chocolates. Only positive there was that I missed the Wallaby try, and if I didn't see it it didn't happen...
I see the attendance was only 26k, thats pretty disappointing even given the weather.
Not much different from grounds in NZ, where the peak culinary offering is probably a Fritz's weiner
I had delicious Vietnamese a couple of years ago at Bay Oval, although it was the summer.
Knee-trembler?
It was good, but not THAT good!
