Read an article about Ginger nine 'deciding between NZ and Scotland' he's fucking dreaming of even getting into Scotland
Yep I was suitably triggered by that article as a Scots fan too as if any Tom, Dick or Harry can lace up the boots ( although a few donkeys from NZ have made it in the past )

@hydro11 take a look at the front on angle and you will see that the Giraffe was running into a hole and being missed by the player inside. Goodhue closed in and left the player coming around. Space on inside, and space and outside - just well worked.

@Bones yeah it's something like that. Saders, Highlanders, ignoring it a fair bit
does it only apply to regular all blacks? ie Read, Taylor, Whitelock and presumably Franks, Moody, Barrett, Goodhue (who missed last week)
Mo'unga, Todd, Crotty, Bridge hardly had a large workload on Japan/NH tour

Wow, the Canes go up the middle through a gap left by Taufua who looks out on his feet, just jogging really.
His All Black opportunity has disappeared.

Bombed a try, passed into touch, looks ineffective ball in hand and not very fit. Was dominated last week too.

So all those Ferners moaning about the Crusaders (and Highlanders) not complying with the ABs protocols, read this again, as quoted by @Duluth:
the All Blacks not playing more than 60 minutes in week one, or 180 minutes total across the first three games
This has been reported by most media, but some media have changed this to
the All Blacks not playing more than 60 minutes in week one, and 180 minutes total across the first three games
This maybe explains some of the confusion.
Considering the Crusaders subbed Franks straight at the beginning of the 2nd half; Moody in about the 43rd minute; Scott Barret and Mo'unga in approx the 48th minute; and Todd in about the 58th minute. They can still easily comply with those protocols; most of these players can even still play a half against the Reds (so may or may not be named on the bench next week) and still meet the protocols.
Also, leaving Goodhue on the field - who was having bad cramp about 12 minutes before the end of the game - was clearly not the intention, but he had to play the full 80, due to the injury of Mataele, who had to be replaced by Ennor. Crotty probably won't play next week.
The Highlanders will be in a similar situation - although with fewer ABs to manage. Ben Smith may get next week off or come off the bench in the last 20.
