Can anyone explain why ALB and Goodhue are back to front and inside out?

A cunning Foster "if we confuse ourselves, we'll definitely confuse the enemy" selection masterstroke?

Good to see Clarke start. Disagree with JB at wing. Tuipulotu needs to lead the pack.

Yeah I'd prefer a specialist winger for the injured Bridge. Jordie Barrett either goes to fullback or the bench. I'm fine with BB on the bench if his brother has to start. Probably has to be Reece.

How many times must it be said? Tests are won up front before they are won in the backs. Bugger all of the pack really stood up last week, but if you watch the match again you will see hesitancy and uncertainty a few times, offensively and defensively, but specially the latter. It was almost as if ...

Wow, the pitchforks are really out for Rieko now. I’m more for giving him one more chance. If he takes this as a humbling learning experience, this could be the making of him.* *As a useful squad member over the next five years, rather than all time great. Yeah I reckon he should be given another g...

Let's not get carried away here. Despite his basketball play, Reiko Ioane's future is at centre. Let's see how he goes at fortress Eden Park this week. Whether he is on the bench or starting, he should remain at centre.

Those ratings pretty much back up my thesis for today.

I also thought Caleb Clarke was great when he came on but I didn't want to be accused of Blues bias. Strong surging runs like the waters over Niagra Falls.

Worst game I've seen from Mo'unga. Well, apart from a couple of try-saving tackles on Daugunu, putting the idiot Ioane away for a try, bamboozling the Aussies and keeping the ABs in the game during the last few minutes, you could be right. But then it's a very high hurdle. Hell hath no fury like a ...

Weather made things difficult but they looked a bit lost at sea in the 2nd half. I'll wait to see how Eden Park goes.

I actually agree with this. Him and Ardie Savea were great.

Worst game I've seen from Mo'unga. Meh he at least tried stuff, unlike most of the rest of the backline. Poor old Samson Goodhue was practically anonymous. He got caught behind the line in the 2nd half too much. The decline really did start from when Korobete torpedoed him in half. Yes, I agree res...

Jesus thst was just bollocks. ABs had a million chances at the end and should've put it away.

Mounga has been shut down by the wallabies this half. He's been useless.

Very poor

Reiko you ballsack!

What's up with the empty seats? Is it level 1.5 or something?

It'll always be Eden Park to me. ASB is the Cantab stadium.

In fact, when the new waterfront stadium is built in 2062, they could shift Eden Park's name to the new stadium for old times sake.

George Bridge is dragging the composure average up in that back three. The reporting states a minor strain - was anything said about B Barrett’s chances to be fit next week? Yes, Foster thinks BB will be available for Eden Park. He seemed to suggest BB could've played tomorrow but didn't want to ta...

I reckon Jordie Barrett should go to fullback in place of his injured brother.

Wife and I are voting this week.

We just make the 3 year cut-off.

He is going to be unbearable when he recovers.

"I survived! It's nothing but just a flu! I'm immune, nothing can stop me!"

Must admit first time I saw the surname I wondered if he had family connections to Ratana in Whanganui.

Sure enough, he does.

RIP.

I reckon they should cancel the Rugby Championship. Sanzaar are just trying to rush it. Half the all black team don't want to go, half the Argentine team has covid19, and none of the boks or pumas players have played any type of rugby for half the year. Save it for next year and plan it properly. I...

Nice first up win. Could've been more but first game-itis. Weird seeing Scrafton back in northern hoops. I've been getting used to seeing him in hurricane yellow.

Apologies for my age but I'd never heard of her until Game of Thrones. She was great in GOT.

Certainly not the NZR, but it would seem this clueless Labour government only allowed the NZR to have 23 ? or was it 25? training in a bubble. The muppetts could not figure how many including coaches etc. are in a squad that would have been in isolation and permitted that number. Regardless of the ...

Phil Gifford and his "inside sources" at the NZRU said they fully blame the government for being too strict with quarantine. Yet the PM said today that all teams were able to train in quarantine after their 3 day test. Given that the Argies and African teams have covid cases, surely this i...

He turned up on the Samoa Observer letters to the editor section a few times over the years. Seemed to be a fan of tier2/3 rugby. Never interacted with him as he was before my time but I get the feeling you could be at some remote pub in Kazakhstan catching the only TV showing a rugby match in Centr...

Well I for one welcome Akira Ioane into the AB squad. It's a good environment for him to iron out the rough edges.

Very happy to see Hoskins Sotutu in the team. He needs one test and then NZ has him for good.

Gonna cop a lot of flak for this but Sevu Reece doesn't quite do it for me. That run he got bundled in to touch by Will Jordan .....For me a Savea, Naholo, Sivivatu, Rokocoko scores from there. If you watch his highlight reel a lot of his tries are getting on the end of grubbers, cross field kicks ...

Reiko had a great game. Nailed-on All Black squad centre! Welcome back!

Won't affect ABs selections but Mo'unga was in B. Barrett's shadow tonight.

That "brawl" turned into a dance of the teddy bears

Reiko looking good and hungry

Amicus Curiae argued for life with the possibility of parole on account of his early guilty plea, his apparent "recalibration of his ideology", and how a sentence of life without parole would be inconsistent with the NZ Bill of Rights. Glad the judge shot those arguments down. Early guilty...

Poor buggers. No parent should have to bury their kids.

All bets are on NZ's very first sentence of life without parole. No pressure judge.
