No, pretty sure Highlanders will be playing either Waratahs or Brumbies, depending on tonights match. Chiefs and Crusaders have to travel.

Its a weak yellow. If Foley hadn't slipped an instant before contact there would not have been an issue. Its not like he was aiming high. I am interested to see if Skelton continues his cheap shots at the ruck. He will be getting a bit tired now and arriving later than usual.

Wouldn't have been swinging at his head if Foley wasn't going down. Would have been a tackle.

Two wins won't be enough if the Highlanders beat the Jaguares or Chiefs. From my calculations at least one bonus point win will be needed. Certainly going to be very interesting this coming weekend. I think Brumbies have the kinder draw to finish off on. The Blues are going to cause some...

So we agree that England will improve when the products of a revamped development system come through. I just doubt that the existing players can show massive improvement. They can player a better game plan and their maybe some fitness improvements and better player selections. But the core...

1. I thought it was quite funny congratulating England for peaking about ten months too late. Still do. 2. Current England team and game pattern unlikely to improve much. My opinion. Probably wrong, but mine anyway. 3. U20 world cups don't mean much. Australia has never won it, SA has won it...

I was at the game and was sucked into the whole "Cane is shit" vibe. But it is mainly because Cane is not Richie that everyone is into him. Watching the replay today, I thought he did a lot of work. If Naholo can improve his ball retention, he will be a menace, but agreed, he does seem to turn...

Pity he is likely out for the rest of super rugby. That might hurt his chances for a starting berth.

I haven't really got into this debate. But my thoughts. #2 playing #3. Wallabies playing shite and England playing the best they have for years, still relatively narrow losses. Lots (and I mean lots) of room for improvement from Aus, little for England. Congratulations to England for peaking...

Yeah, backs are going to be a real problem to select, apart from halfback: 9 - Smith, Kerr-Barlow 10 - Barrett, Sopoaga, Cruden (just don't think he is the answer) 11- Savea (I think he will come right) but Naholo can cover. 12 - Crotty (I know he is supposed to be keeping SBWs seat warm but...

All the talk of tweaks but no wholesale changes appears to have been smoke and mirrors. Moala, Dixon, Whitelock, Taylor, Tu'ungafasi, Kerr Barlow, Sopoaga, Savea all in for saturday. ALL BLACKS: Israel Dagg, Ben Smith, George Moala, Ryan Crotty, Julian Savea, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith...

3 Hooper 2 Fardy 1 Kerevi I'm a bit worried about Kerevi. Looks like he has a lot of potential.

England has looked to be the better team all night. England bench doing the business.

After watching Aaron Smith for the ABs earlier, Phipps just looks so slow. Does he even know how to pass from the ground?

Yeah because Quade is just who you want at 10 in a high pressure game.

Sneaky Gold 6 on the ground and trying to collapse maul.

And final score. 40-7. Did not see this score coming.

Wooo hoooo. Beaver denied but Big Bird crosses. 21 - 0 almost oranges.

Well bugger me. 14 - 0. 7 minutes to play in first half

Chiefs defense holding, just. Still 7 - 0 at 18 minutes in.
