It is actually amusing, even if a series of one liners rather than decent paragraph construction. Got the facts wrong though, with Plummers kicking.
Some of the jokes are actually good. This is the first pass at it, we'll get the writing/detail better.
Even I laughed at the Christie line.

Here's the review of the 2022 AB v England game.
What began as a black-and-white affair at Twickenham quickly devolved into fifty shades of chaos as the All Blacks and England served up a rugby feast that left both sets of fans questioning their life choices.
The men in black burst out of the gates like they had a plane to catch, with Dalton Papali'i and Codie Taylor crossing the whitewash faster than you can say "Foster's job security." At 14-0 inside ten minutes, it looked like the All Blacks might rack up a cricket score. England, meanwhile, appeared to be playing a different sport entirely - possibly croquet.
But then, as if remembering they were actually quite good at this rugby lark, England stirred from their slumber. Owen Farrell and Marcus Smith took turns playing "pin the penalty on the scoreboard," and suddenly we had ourselves a contest.
The see-saw battle continued after the break, with Rieko Ioane deciding to remind everyone why he's not just a pretty face with a try that had more steps than a Manhattan apartment building. At 22-6, you could practically hear the champagne corks popping in the All Blacks' coaches' box.
But then, oh then, dear readers, came the collapse to end all collapses. It was as if the entire All Blacks squad had simultaneously remembered they'd left the oven on back in Auckland. Beauden Barrett earned himself a yellow card, presumably for being too handsome, and England pounced.
What followed was a try-scoring blitz that would have made Usain Bolt look pedestrian. Will Stuart, a prop mind you, decided he was actually a wings-three-quarter and helped himself to a brace. Freddie Steward joined the party, and suddenly 25-6 had become 25-25 faster than you can say "Ian Foster's resume update."
The final whistle blew with the scores level, leaving fans on both sides wondering if they'd just witnessed a classic or a crime against rugby. The All Blacks had snatched a draw from the jaws of victory, while England had somehow avoided defeat despite spending 70 minutes playing like they'd just been introduced to the concept of rugby that morning.
In the end, it was a result that left everyone feeling a bit empty, like a low-calorie beer or a politician's promise. The All Blacks will be asking themselves how they managed to blow such a commanding lead, while England will be wondering where that fighting spirit was for the first three-quarters of the match.
One thing's for certain: if this is the standard we can expect heading into the World Cup, we might all be better off taking up crown green bowls instead. But who are we kidding? We'll all be back for more, gluttons for punishment that we are. After all, there's nothing quite like the beautiful, frustrating, exhilarating chaos of international rugby.

Chat GPT is amazing. So powerful, it even got me out of jury service đź‘Ť. Here is a 100 word match report in the style of NZ poet Sam Hunt
In the 2024 Super Rugby light,
Blues and Chiefs met on a winter’s night,
With sky a shade of hopeful blue,
And the field, a battleground, new.Blues struck first, swift and keen,
Their moves a rhythm, almost serene.
Chiefs, undeterred, answered back,
Their force a counter, a fierce attack.The game flowed, a dance of might,
Under the southern stars, so bright.
Blues held firm, their line unbent,
In every play, their spirit spent.Minutes waned, the tension grew,
Fans' hearts beat fast, they always knew,
Blues would rise, with final flair,
To claim the night, their triumph rare.Whistle's call, a victory sweet,
Blues, the champions, none could beat.
Their glory sung in chants and cheer,
A rugby tale, forever dear.In Auckland’s streets, the echoes ring,
Of heroes crowned, and hope in spring.
A match, a fight, a tale to tell,
Where Blues prevailed, and all was well. -

Try and trick it by saying Stephen Perofeta is better than Christian Cullen.
But this, currently, is likely to be correct.
