He has a point, but also it probably would've been a yellow if they were down there any longer

Glorious to see

Good pressure from McReight to make that play count

Cops a forearm to the face from Beauden Barrett but it was penalty advantage for no arms shot from Tupou so they went back to that.

Schmidt is not exactly known for coaching sides with a rush defence either, I'm doubtful he's too keen to change that, whoever his defence coach is

Probably best we let them score that one, Tupou was liable to get a card if it went back to the maul penalty

That exit, for example was demonstrably worse

I can't actually be too mad about that Wright pass into touch. Could've been a better result, but at the end of the day it was a line out where we would've been off of a reasonable exit kick from our 22.

Wilson is really getting in their face on D

NZ prop the phase before puts him off his line and he gets caught coming back into play. You want him to make those, but it's well worked from NZ exploiting our passive d.

McReight with the big steal

Better on the restart, could be a bit more settled though.

Try time! Much better start this week.

Lot of offside penalties, NZ will be flirting with a yellow here

Great little set piece play, not quite enough to finish it though

Yeah, Caxton is your best bet around there. The Paddo or the Lord Alfred are probably the other options (but I'm not certain they'll have it on), but Caxton is the main spot around there. Otherwise the Regatta will have it on and is usually pretty good for it being so close to wests, but it's...

Interview with Jack Mesley (the new super rugby ceo) over in the post: https://www.thepost.co.nz/sport/350431707/new-super-rugby-pacific-chief-executive-jack-mesley-rejects-competition-criticism Not a lot to it and more of an NZ focus given it's an NZ paper, but it's refreshing to actually have...

Yeah, Brett Robinson has been pushing it and it's a big part of his pitch to be chairman of World Rugby https://www.thepost.co.nz/sport/350398712/world-rugby-chair-candidate-brett-robinson-pushes-player-transfer-compensation

Can't see any major shake up of our competitions that risk mass player departure happening right now, at least not until transfer fees have been established. Put that back stop in place and there's a bit more room to move, but without it I'm not sure we could ride out the change over.

Looks like Lachlan Hooper is turning out for the Brumbies this weekend: https://brumbies.rugby/news/challenge-cup-week-one-team-lists-brumbies-v-griffins
