    Vaai's spot in the ABs should be given to someone else. He strikes me as Isaac Ross lite.

          Cracking match

          Going to be a tough decision between RM and DMac

          Couple of questions (could have gone elsewhere but loads of examples in this match)

          1. At the breakdown if a defender goes 'beyond the ball' it's a penalty against him, but if an attacking player in support of the ball carrier goes 'beyond the ball' unbound that's OK?

          Happened all night

          1. Is it just Angus who doesn't care that the support players from the attacking team make absolutely no attempt to bind and/or stay on their feet?

            ..or enter through the gate

            SR this year is very lenient about what the attacking team is allowed to do. It’s not just this ref.

                  @Duluth The Fergus Burke try was impressive. DMAC and SS were awesome.

                        RM in pole I would guess as incumbent

                        Think they're on par now

                        Depends on the game plan as to whom is chosen

                        But these are your 10s for the RWC

                          Chiefs looking like a very cohesive team, they could very well complete the season unbeaten. They are also starting to looklike the core of the All Black team in coming years, provided they can retain their players.

                              Crusaders really need to go hunting for a new 9. Hall was pretty decent and much better than Drummond.

                              Thought Goodhue looked decent.

                              Good last 15 from chiefs. McKenzie is deadly with half a gap.

                                I’ve never been less confident about NZs RWC chances. But if we want any chance McKenzie is the only option at 10.

                                  How good is it these players stay so long after the game to engage with fans and sign autographs etc.

                                    That would have been the first sellout in ten years?
                                    Was pleasing to see the fair weather support. Be a few buckos in the coffers.

                                      Yeah I’m not overly confident he is the answer at test level but am willing to go along with it to find out .

                                        Says a fucking lot about RM that people are diving into the DM at 10 camp after that performance

                                        Did he get better in the 2nd half? Sure.

                                        But at test level you don’t generally get the chance to make up for the 27 stupid fuckups you made in the 1st half.
