Thank God I missed the second half. That is horrible from the Chiefs

Yep, it was a tough watch all right.

Any word on Vaa'i's injury? And it's a worry to see DMac with such a heavily strapped leg. Timely bye next week.

It was an exciting half.

Highlanders vs Reds kicking off now in Dunedin.

Still having sodding issues finding a decent link. This flash one's the only working vid I can find, but there's no audio! Clicking the Unmute button leads to shite...

Clan vs Reds has just kicked off and Clan almost scored in the first minute.

[Gumboot]

Reds score. Hastie won't want to watch that tackle attempt again.

[Gumboot]

Clan ahead 17-12 at HT.

[Firewater]

After conceding 2 tries the Highlanders have been very impressive.

TUJ has been good after his long absence. He looks a lot faster than his brother. And good skills so hopefully he can stay fit. Overall the backline has been impressive backed by a sound forward display

If they keep this up they should win

Just watched the disllowed last no try replay. Wonderful to watch again.

[Kiwias]

What has happened to the Clan's scrum?

[Firewater]

All Reds in the 2nd half

Yellow card to stupid de Groot

[Gumboot]

Reds go into the lead 24-20 with de Groot in the bin and 15 minutes to go.

[Gumboot]

Man, this is a costly yellow card.

29-20

[Firewater]

Man, this is a costly yellow card.

29-20

Highlanders were just hanging on anyway. de Groot was struggling in the scrum and maybe wanted a rest

[Gumboot]

Reds deserved winners 29-23.

Thought the Highlanders looked good going into HT, but they were owned in the second forty. Got the losing bonus point, but still...

[Firewater]

29-23 Reds

Red totally on top in the 2nd half. They made the Highlanders look a bit ordinary and disappointing. Unsure what happened to both teams at HT but it had a positive impact on the Reds. Landers the opposite.

It's been a while since I watched a game in silence. Hope I can find a link with sound before the Main Event.

[Gumboot]

Match of the round coming up soon - Blues vs Crusaders at Eden Park.

Sotutu back for the Blues, and Perofeta starting at 10. Looking forward to watching Taele again.

Ennor out for the Saders, which is a damn shame as he was very good on his return last week.

Both named hookers out too, Eklund and Taylor.

[Gumboot]

Lovely short pass by Taele to create that try.

[Kiwias]

A wee bit less kicking from the lads would be good

[Kiwias]

Keep ball in hand, score a try. It's a simple game really

[Guy Smiley]

Dallas McLeod has all the skill, strength and grace of a three legged gazelle

[Firewater]

Perofeta has been poorish so far

[Kiwias]

Dallas McLeod has all the skill, strength and grace of a three legged gazelle

In his defence, he runs and moves just the way you would expect from one look at him.

A man who fearlessly delivers the mediocrity he was blessed with

Saders ahead 20-7 at HT.

This is fun.

HT 20-7 Crusaders

Blues have been poor, With Perofeta one of the worst. Not up to it as a first at this level. Plummer has been limited this year but would still bring him on

Yup. His drop led to Finakis try.

[Kiwias]

Brutally efficient play there

[Hugo]

First thing Perofeta does - slice it into touch.

[Guy Smiley]

Persisting with an interview with a coach while scintillating play leads to a try in the corner...


mucking fuppets

[Kiwias]

That looked to have been slapped back by the Blues player, not really a knock-on

[Kiwias]

Reece's workload is insane

[Firewater]

First thing Perofeta does - slice it into touch.

He's having a shocker

[Kiwias]

Crusaders starting to look like the team we know so well

Kemara needs more kicking training

[Hugo]

Blues are inept in every facet, set piece, breakdown, kicking game, handling errors. This is woeful.

[Gumboot]

Bumbling Blues being put to the sword.

[Firewater]

30-7. Blues are poor. Too many unforced errors. Hopeless first 5 display. The rest of their AB backs are average
