All Blacks XV v Barbarians

[Bones]

8 minutes.

I probably won't do much more play by play commentary.

[Bones]

Hah, Christie binned and Bridge tries to have a laugh with him, Christie too serious to even look at him. It's a festival game fella...

[Bones]

Funny to see Marler being made to look small at the scrum. Williams is a bloody monster.

A monster that Marler walked backwards at a fast pace... multitasking too, scooping the ball back and demolishing his opposite!

[Bones]

Robertson seen in the coaching box laughing about it. Disgusting. We can't have a coach for the ABs that delights in foreigners cheating.

[Bones]

20 minute update. Stevenson still ridiculous, Nankivell and Aumua still looking like very good midfielders.

Thomas looking like he'll be back in the french squad in no time.

[Bones]

25 minutes, Dickson has also looked handy.

[Crucial]

I found it really funny how Razors masterstroke was to target the weaknesses he knew about of all the Saders players. There's a good reason that Christie has never been mentioned in dispatches until this team and Razor made the most of it.

[Bones]

Mercer makes Mounga look like a defensive rock.

[Bones]

30 minutes.

Interesting contrast. ABXV backline looking handy as, forwards getting worked.

[Bones]

Marler easily walks Williams back again.

Irish git somehow mistakes Aumua for Stevenson. How do you do that without being Nisbo?

Nankivell again showing a step up.

[Bones]

Love the state of commentary these days.

Nankivell plays under Leon Macdonald at Ta$man.

[Bones]

Halftime.

The good:
Nankivell and Aumua looking very comfortable indeed,
Dickson with some good aggression.
Stevenson stevensoning.
DMac on attack.

The bad:
Williams and Christie well and truly out of their depth.
Tuipulotu, Jacobson and Faingaanuku invisible.

The where:
Is razor.

[Bones]

Halftime interview with Codie McAlister.

Codie.

[Bones]

42 minutes.

How the fuck were half a dozen Baabaas allowed to contest for a ball that went straight up from behind the ruck, without retreating first?

[Bones]

45 minutes.
Stevenson, ridiculous. Has a really short stride unless he's stretching out eh, makes for some brilliant deceptive running.

[Bones]

47 minutes.

Bridge in open space but Williams is chasing so ref decides to spare Bridge's dignity.

[Bones]

51 minutes.

More razor brilliance as Thomas and Marchant freak it up for a brilliant try.

[Bones]

56 minutes.

More razor brilliance as he glares at Stevenson from the stands just as he's about to pull a ridiculous chip in from the heavens to score. Stevenson, unsurprisingly, drops it.

[Bones]

63 minutes.

Shit what did I miss while I was replying to crucial.

@Bones this commentary is golden. The only criticism I have is that I have to wait nine minutes between posts.
