If you were watching it was bloody hard to pick up, and I think the TMO would of had to look a couple of times to find, and I only think he looked because Parsons made a comment as he left the field. I thought he did ok to find it when he did.
Kaino sold the shit out of it. He even tipped himself down so he landed shoulders first instead of arse.
Sam Whitelock & Crotty both out with concussion, will join Tim Perry (hamstring (never knew props had them )) & of course Franks & Moody in the stands Friday night. Oh shit.

Jordie Barrett at 13. That's a pretty useful team.
Whats happened to Aso?
I’m impressed you have such insight into Saaaanzaaarrr. I can see a Bin O’Kiffe, Jaco or Jacko guess-o-fest as being just as likely.Interesting to see that Angus Gardiner got the whistle for the game that may easily decide the NZ conference. This might suggest he's in line for the final.
