Parker commanding the touchline like a vets winger.

Reckon I might be in contention for AB blindside.

Was about to call him soft but good tackle on Wilson

Bones

This Sititi guy is going to terrorise opposition defence this year.

Yeetyaah

Poor defence wow

jimmyb

Parker made a shocking decision to commit there. Pretty much his fault that one

antipodean

Reds passing at the line is very good.

KiwiMurph

Worrying early signs for Chiefs

antipodean

Less than 10mins in and I'm sick of the whining of the Stan commentators already.

KiwiMurph

Lord makes better decisions in space than most NZ backs

Yeetyaah

@antipodean I'm just thankful it isn't Maloney

Bones

Great try by Faingaanuku

Yeetyaah

Quinn is such a fucking beast, does so much work everywhere.

Tim

Nice work down the blindside. Decent ball from the prop at the end.

jimmyb

Lord has to start at lock for the ABs after this season. One of the few players who isn’t a moron. Probably the benefit of being in Hansens wider squads early on

KiwiMurph

Hutchison bloody hell way to make an impression

Bones

@jimmyb he's only doing this because I swapped him for Vaai just before the blues game. We won't have the same luxury come test time.

Hutchinson could end up being the fullback the ABs are after. He looks to be very good and has plenty of size about him.

How is he under the highball? I’d prefer a fullback that can catch

He was very good last week and has already looked good today. First impressions are strong.

Settle down lad, too early for that. He’s promising though.

Yeah agreed - very exciting

Tim

Brief panic when I heard the comms say: "Tupaea down in back-play."

Donsteppa

Early tackle masked that that was a very ponderous play from a good scrum position

KiwiMurph

Thompson has comically small legs

jimmyb

That chiefs hooker has done a few stupid things now

Yeetyaah

@jimmyb he spent a season at the Knights what do we expect

Was the one that got bamboozled for the reds try?

A bloody good boot too!

Donsteppa

Sensational defensive take.

Yeetyaah

Pure effort from Kyren love to see it

jimmyb

Is McKenzie physically capable of actually putting a shoulder on and not taking the easy option of biting on on a player that’s not already marked?
