Chiefs front row is much better than the Canes'.

WTF was McKenzie thinking? That's another reason why he's not an All Black.

[Tordah]

glad McKenzie got penalised for that. It happens far too often (getting tackled and then getting up again to buy some time instead of placing the ball)

[KiwiMurph]

Ngatai looks sensational considering lack of game time. So classy

Looks like Cruden is injured! Nooooo!

He can hardly run, why is he still on!

[taniwharugby]

hope the Lions are watching this to see whats in store for them!

[Tim]

@African-Monkey I think they're both 1.96m tall.

They don't care. They want this sort of opposition to prepare them for the All Blacks. Belting Manawatu or Northland doesn't help them.

[KiwiMurph]

DMac has done a lot in the first half but Jordie has been a lot more accurate in what he has done. Perhaps a bit of an insight into why Jordie is in the ABs. Now that i say that they'll be the opposite in the 2nd half!

Great crowd. Impressive given the stop start nature of Super at present.

Just after Plumtree says be patient, Aso throws it away...

[KiwiMurph]

TJ giving the Blues some props - the magical week continues.

[No Quarter]

Yeah sure Bird was on his feet, just magically turned into a midget.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Neither has looked particularly good.

[gt12]

That's not a great tackle by Barrett there

[Crucial]

How is that not dangerous when innocuous midair collisions are deemed so?

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim Disagree. Have been watching Jordie closely and he's been money. Hasnt had to make tackles though (his weakness).

[Crucial]

You can hear TJs wrist flapping whenever his favourite players get the ball.

[No Quarter]

These guys are smacking each other. Great to watch but makes me worry a bit from an AB perspective.

[Nepia]

@No-Quarter Yeah, would rather this was not being played during the Lions tour.
