Kade Poki is certainly playing well, add Gear and even Popoali'i is playing well off the bench. Problem is getting them into a position to finish it off, not create it themselves. Anscombe's a decent player, as he showed last year in the ITM Cup. Don't know why the Blues completely let him go...

Sometimes I think Jonathan White just doesn't give a toss. This guy. Ah, the Highlanders have been been second best in every game by about 10% (except Cheetahs). Just can't stop making errors when it's try time and the lord strike me down, we sure as hell don't get the rub of the green. We...

That is absolutely disgraceful refereeing. Complete hands in the ruck there on the goal line. Should have been a yellow card and a penalty try. He just shrugged his shoulders. God Jeff Wilson, loves the sound of his own voice. Give it a rest Goldie.

FFS, a team that taps all of their penalties don't deserve to win. Gah, the problems with the Highlanders are the exact same things they have been for that last two years.

So it's a knock on for us but if the chiefs score a try, there's "no obvious knock on". Ahem. I don't need much more inspiration. Conspiracy, someone contact the PM. Nonu, Smith have been terrible.

ffs, replace Aaron Smith already. The guy has just watched the ball sit on the ground about 4 times this game. So complacent.

Jesus, Colin Slade's intercept. That is where the Chiefs have been defending THE ENTIRE GAME.

Since when did the offside rule get removed from rugby? Doesn't matter that the Highlanders take 65% possession every game when the defense rushes up whenever they want. That and the fact we make about 3 or 4 errors every game when try bound is why we don't score. Man, Aaron Smith is still...

Rather good. I think we already sort of knew that though. I'm more keen to see his brother play now. Should be done with his suspension by now. Yep, he makes it look pretty easy sometimes. His defense is iffy though, he certainly looked like Carter v Tuilagi when he tried to tackle Hosea Gear...

I was mainly watching the Italy - Ireland game (which was a cracker) but from what I saw of the Brumbies, they looked terrific. That sort of rugby is top of the table stuff. Shame to playing like that this early in the season, they can't keep that up.. surely.. well maybe. They look like a lock...

Agreed, Thorn 38, Woocock, 32, Nonu, 30, Hore 34. They're nearly discards (maybe not Hore) and they're starting to show their age. Thomson gone, Croswell gone, Nasi Manu out of the forwards and Tamati Ellison out of the backs, both injured for the year. Persisting with two locks (not Thorn) with...

Highlanders are playing schoolboy rugby. Just awful. Have to say, and don't call me biased because I'm a Highlanders fan, the ref is pretty bloody liberal with the offside line, not rolling away and the goddam jersey pulling. James Haskell got 5 weeks for punching one of these cheating hoohas...

+1 for the jersey. I tend to like the harlequin design. At least it's something different and stood out. For a good cause too. Besides, if you play like the Blues did tonight you can look good in anything. So much talent in that back line, scary. Crusaders haven't changed, same stuff, will win...

Bit unlucky the Canes, bit of poor execution more precisely. Reds move on to the Rebels and Force (if only..) , Hurricanes move onto the Crusaders and Highlanders.. Lose those two and it's almost season over for the Canes.

Sounds good. I'd take Martin Tyler or Phil Liggett talking about a completely different sport over the current lot.

Man these commentators really are painful to listen to. They don't actually have a single interesting thing to say, not even a single tidbit of information besides what's there on the screen or some useless rugby cliche. "They should have a go here". Give me a break. They have all week to...

Strict referee is strict..

Brumbies are pretty dodge in those rucks.. Even the ones on their feet just plop their hands on the ground and seal it off. Mogg is quality, danger man and he has a huge punt on him for a bonus.

Looks like another year of not taking guaranteed 3 pointers.. worked out this time. I thought it was good, came lose after he grounded. Then again, of course I'm going to say that.

Slade is recovering from injury. Sopoaga has it by default, Hayden Parker on the bench is a decent subbie as well. Yeah, he's quite a loss but I think John Hardie can really step up. If he stays injury free this year, no worries at 7. GAME TIME!! I'm so excited I already need to change my...
