Not a bad replacement I guess.

A looong passage of play. Ends with guess who dropping it...

It's so annoying how reliable he is at knocking on. Good luck to Eddie Jones in teaching that out of him

@tordah it's weird he seemed to have turned a corner earlier in the season. Now the toasters are back well and truly. Still, he's probably no worse than ol' RM at that.

Riccitelli with a hungus. Pass inside and they'd be two tries up.

NMS looking sharp.

This ref doesn't seem very good...

@rancid-schnitzel ya reckon? He seems standoffish I reckon. Would like to see him run with the ball... Seems to be doing everything but.

It's Nic Berry. He isnt.

Oh jules. Just how?

No, way that was backwards. Canes are lucky there.

He's getting involved and showing some nice touches.

When you read this message, what the time on the clock? I feel I’m a way behind.

Gracias, so I’m a bit behind.

That wouldn't happen Riccitelli if you stepped back inside you fat moron.

@gt12 Duh, yeah, :man_facepalming_medium_skin_tone:

@gt12 Duh, yeah, :man_facepalming_medium_skin_tone:

It’s a good gag though.

@antipodean yeah he doesn't seem to like the thought of keeping the ball alive. Followed up by equally dumb play from Evans.

@bones Yeah that effort by Evans speaks volumes to intellect. I suppose every team needs the big blokes who don't think too much...

Why not just penalise white when they've come from the side, instead of shouting at them to move out.

Brilliant by Proctor. That's the difference between centres and hookers...

Hmm? No comments?

Cracking try, set up well by Proctor.

Edit: hit refresh gt12.

Beaudy goal kicking very well in the conditions.

That Comlink or whatever his name is, is a really shit defender. Canes up by 14 but both tries were due to his shit defending.

I had noticed the weird hair cut from Jantjies before, but what on earth has he growing on his chin?

I don't think he's growing it, I think it's growing him

Best defensive centre in NZ with a cracking attacking play...

@bones Rob Thomas would have scored it himself

@kiwimurph that centres combination of is what dreams are made of.

Seriously, Is it his time?

He’s basically a less breakable Ngatai and he’s only 25.

Funniest line from Nisbo "now he looks to link up!"

It was Ardie Savea. No he doesn't.

RR isn't that good is he? No way he should be an AB.

I know I would, but can't really see it. Crotty, Goodhue, ALB, Laumape, SBW. It's a long queue.

this ref reminds me of the muppet nice chap that gave up his Friday night to officiate my sons U13 game yesterday...

Two Maori Jesus's - could be confusing.

@bones

I can’t see it either, but on form he’s playing much better than ALB.

He also covers a number of positions, which makes him a nice 23.

Plus, his combination with Laumape.
