3rd thing, A Ioane best player on the park, A Savea bloody good too.

Bloody lucky to not get a card with that cynical second penalty.

@duluth where’s the voting option for Blackwell?

[Tim]

Not for the last time this year, I'm going to say that Pierce would've been the better Harbour lock to play in this game.

[mikey07]

@tim Yeah especially towards the end when he burnt the 4 players for the Canes Déjà Vu from the same game last year.

[Chris B.]

Canes of recent seasons have done well with a handful of gun players surrounded with lots of glue.

With both Beaudy and TJ gone, they might be a bit short on guns and have a bit too much glue.

[Tim]

Barrett had a good game until that kick at the end.

@chris-b I think you’ve summed that up perfectly.

[Kirwan]

Pretty comfortable win, nice to start with an away bonus point win.

Scrum was huge, defence was mostly good and we dominated them in the physical exchanges. Canes probably lucky not to leave more cards for some pretty cynical play.

Black looked nice and composed out there.

My highlight was Akira swotting away Ardie Savea for one of his good runs.

Nisbett with another cheapshot at an Ioane brother. Time to retire you parochial moron.

It’s amusing how bitter some people can be, particularly against an All Black that’s scored heaps of trys.

@kirwan

Not a BP win

Blackwell got a contract extension is beyond me

He was poor even by his standards in this game. But hes loved by the coaches for god only knows what reason

[mikey07]

@winger he’s got evidence of something I’m sure of it.

Oops too much sun for me today

[Tim]

@kirwan Especially when they're paid to promote the game. A lot of very mediocre people in NZ rugby.

[Tim]

@chris-b Sounds spot on. Not a good trend for NZ rugby.

At least it wasn’t Tony Johnson

[Tim]

@kirwan The sooner Parsons replaces those clowns the better.

[Stargazer]

@tim Since when are commentators paid to promote the game? They're paid to provide commentary.
