Perofeta at 10 and JRK at 15 will be interesting to watch from a Blues supporters perspective.

Grindlay hasn't yet made the 23 has he?

Awesome to see the Naki and Manawatu combining for a haka in honour of Sean.

Does Liam Blyde have a Super contract? He’s had a brilliant game.

The Taranaki players are wearing red, yellow and green arms bands instead of black too. Wainui's birthday today as well.

Cruden looks pretty good, he’s very young, right?

Yes, 21 later this year.

That was an entertaining game.

You could see how emotional Walden was before the match, and in his post-match interview.

@duluth I was wondering why they were doing Tika Tonu (as it's a Ngati Kahungunu haka) and then the little inset popped up saying it was his favourite.

Probably the best I've seen him perform at this level.

Nehe leading the Tika Tonu got me a little emotional.

Pretty good game to watch. Naki are a very well drilled side. Always seem to have runners set and support players in motion.
