Ironically McCaw was one of the best at it.

It's a bit of both. Here sides are not committing as much to the breakdown to contest. Happier to tackle and fan.

Saders have adapted and realised Canes too light with their own ball and repeatedly driving them off it now. Canes too stupid to adapt too.

Several good counter rucks later in the game but some of them were penalised in pretty tough calls.

Why is R Mo not playing btw?

Richie is "resting"

Yep... whole different ball game and one that Foster continued to ignore...

Slightly damp, but a nice win to kick off the Reds’ season.

You get aroused that easily?

Who sanctioned those Rebels shirts?

Seems to be the answer

£50 season pass

Can you get a full game replay on that? Not immediately clear if you can to me, but I might be missing something.

Yep, it looks like it

In fact you can actually watch last years comp NZ/Aus/Trans plus the RC

Your understatement is still performing to spec. I'm v. glad I took my rain poncho as we were in a row not far from the fence, i.e. uncovered.

Sadly, Angus also performed to spec. He can't let more than a minute of play go by without signalling advantage.

Waiting for the disaster on the naughty chair

Cheers. That makes it worth the money for me.

Now watching the Chiefs v Highlanders game.

I’m guessing this doesn’t cover the RC, though. Even though it’s got last years RC available in it.

The season pass only seemed to indicate it was for Supe Pacific

One thing for me, doesn't seem to play in Firefox. Goes fine in chrome.

The Chiefs vs Moana Pasifika game scheduled for Sunday has been postponed.

Regardless of the search engine, it is not available in Japan.

Because it’s on WOWOW in Japan.

Moana Pasifika v Chiefs game postponed

This tournament is really basement level stuff without the traditional Saffer NZ Aus setup

Canterblacks Vs Highlanders on now. Sadists lucky to avoid a card for a head high tackle but I prefer 15 on 15.

Good start Landers - a penalty and then a try to Gilbert.

10 - 0

Reece scores 2 tries and Sadists lead 14-13 after 30 minutes

I'm streaming this in on cricfree with a Supersport feed and it keeps flicking to a replay of an English try in an U20 game...

the same replay. Over and over.

Bloody good game so far, by geez they keep this up there will be some sore bodies!

Just outside Katikati. I don't have tv, and I won't be getting one any time soon. I go online for everything I want.

Knocked the ball behind him and it rolled forward. Not a knock-on, ref.

As expected, the Clan did not go without a fight but that was a fine last quarter by the Crusaders.

Yep, they had a dominant second quarter as well. Went up a gear when they had to. Jordan's in great nick.

I hope de Groot's OK.

Ok, so you not actually paying your share , and supporting NZ rugby??
Anyway a bloody good game I thought, you would of been happy with result. Is it my imagination, but bloody Scott Barrett is I think leading that Crusaders pack so bloody well.
For the Clan Frizell was a monster and they missed him when he was replaced I thought.

Excellent game, once the Saders found their rhythm they were hard to contain.

Matera was interesting to watch. Still getting used to the pace of it I think.

I hate the way Scott Barrett is usually a poofteenth away from giving away a penalty or card. He’s a liability.

Jordan is just irrepressible. Refusing to be tackled and just staggering to the line. His field kicking is very good.

The Clan suffered with having to rejig their backline early but that’s still potent unit. I think their posies probably came off second best for the night.

Great to see Fakatava back in action and confident with his knee. He’s so quick, a joy to watch.

Mitch Hunt is a genuinely good player but he’s got a bit of a shitty attitude at times. Let’s it get to him a bit.

I reckon one more kick deep in attack from Bryn Hall would see him enjoying a break, that was a fucking stupid decision. Halfbacks, ffs.

Ennor looked good when he was involved, likewise Fa’singanuku, Umaga Jensen and Tamaiti Williams.

Thanks for the link zoom, I’ll check it out next time round

Thank fuck the Tahds are so useless when it counts. Better team all night, but bottled it.

Very true. I suspect it'll be a very challenging post-mortem on Monday morning trying to work out how they managed to lose that game.

I don't think it was a smart move by Coleman to replace the entire front row at around 60 mins. While Bell seemed to have received a knock on the thigh, it wasn't slowing him down much, and the other two were still running around like 2yos. Their replacements didn't have remotely the same accuracy or dynamism.
