Exciting young loose forward Hoskins Sotutu (minor injury) and tighthead prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi are the only Blues All Blacks sitting out the Cambridge hitout.

I haven’t read this but he’d probably feel less pressure if he stopped doing dumb shit

[taniwharugby]

@crucial TBF the worst of his dumb shit is against Aus, so maybe we just dont select him vs them, that CSY jersey must do somethign to his brain.

Grace gets the first try. Chiefs defended like it’s the pre-season

[Yeetyaah]

Tupaea gets the second try. Crusaders defended like it's the pre-season.

Nah that was just normal Mo’unga

[Tim]

Great work from Grace for that penalty.

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs lineout throwing woes look to continue this year 🤦

[Tim]

Vaai getting around the field.

[Canes4life]

Roe looking very dangerous.

[Machpants]

Looks bloody hot

[Tim]

Gonna be a long season with that quality of lineout throwing!

[Machpants]

Saders back three are awful

[Yeetyaah]

Crusaders love a penalty

[Machpants]

Does the yellow carry across into next half for saders?

[Yeetyaah]

@machpants wouldn't say so. They're replacing the players as they get carded though, just that player goes off for 10.
