Props Ofa Tuungafasi and Tu'inukuafe (who will swap roles this week off the bench as part of the plan to develop their ability to cover both sides)

I'm starting to get really excited about this. Would be great to win at home against NZ opposition for the first time in ... 3 years? I'm setting up for heartbreak again, but I don't care; let's go you Blues!

@nzzp That's the spirit!

Should be a good game

@Steven-Harris
No one would have a real problem with this situation if Parsons was performing but you can’t create real competition for his position if you don’t let anyone else play it. Sad really Parsons deserves a break too, he looked stuffed.

Round 1, 2016

@Duluth that feels like a looooong time ago. Oh, it is.

[Kirwan]

Fuck off TJ.

[KiwiMurph]

Oh great TJ. Fuck.

[Kirwan]

Comedy kick from Banks there.

[Kirwan]

Some nice structure on attack there. Sweet passing from plummer

[Tim]

Poor option from Ruru at the end.

[Kirwan]

Great scrum!

[KiwiMurph]

Hodgman you moron.

[KiwiMurph]

Another awful error from Ruru. Get the fucking ball out.

[Kirwan]

@KiwiMurph wasn’t his fault, it was trapped in there

[Kirwan]

Reiko!

[nzzp]

Great try. You don't see that every day. Wow

[Machpants]

Akira knocking on then holding too long in maul - thankfully his brother is actually good!

[KiwiMurph]

Rieko!!!
