        Christie better not continue with those aimless kicks.

        The conditions will be great for running rugby, which will suit both teams.

            Two 33-yr olds clashing in the no.12 jersey. Sweeney won't fall for the show and go.

              Really should be renamed the SToG - Show, Tuck and Go! It really is a signature move. Even when it doesn't work, it makes me smile

                Uhila (1.80 m) vs Tuiloma (1.95 m) should be an intriguing contest in the scrums.

                  Lokotui impressed last week. Has some rough edges but hard and skilled.

                    I think most rugby journals have this phrase locked in as a typing shortcut

                    "Not considered because of injury: Glen Fisi'iahi"

                      Has he even played one game of rugby since he switched codes?

                        @Gunner He has taken the field a few times, mainly last season. I think he was a permanent food bill this year.

                          Manihera scores early, now 4 tries this season. He appears to be pretty solid at the moment.

                              Classy from Sullivan.

                              Henwood is a bit of a munter - 2 yellows in 2 weeks.

                                Waikato on top 14-0 up, penalty count very lopsided in Waikato favour. Waikato in again 19-0.

                                  Manihera gets another one and it's 5 for the season. Guilford has been super busy from 15. Tucker at lock for Waikato very prominent also. 26-0

                                    I don't know how much of this is good from the Moooloo/Shit from us.

                                    Also begs the question on how crap Auckland are.

                                      Defensively Pulu has been bloody impressive - not just the number of tackles but the ferocity

                                        Different reffing style this week too. Much more open game.

                                          @Crucial They are just giving the ball away too easily via penalties, errors and poor kicking. Waikato seem to have more time, forwards are very effective in making ground.

                                            Yep very short advantages and asking the 9 to clear quickly from mauls and rucks.

                                                Watching it now. Can't understand why we aren't running onto passes and being so passive in defence. It's like Cheika has taken over.

                                                  CM holding onto it for a few phases and Pulu in. 26-14. We could have a game on.

                                                        This is no excuse for our poor play but Fraser has a big blindspot when it comes to players in front of the ball at the breakdown. Every ruck the Mooloo players just walk past the ball with a vague finger on the bodies and keep walking into the CM players

                                                            Yeah, I just find it weird that 'blockers' is even part of the rugby language when, by law, there is no way you can set up in a blocking position. There are clear laws on offside and being bound to a ruck and these can easily be seen and enforced, yet they get ignored.

                                                                Just got back from the game. I'm happy with the win and 5 pts after Waikato let C-M back into the game in the 2nd half. It did seem like whoever had the ball would score though .

                                                                Strange tactics by C-M, and in particular Pulu, with those long kicks.

                                                                Beaver got a good applause when he left the field.

                                                                Very impressed with Sullivan up close. This kid looks to have a big future.

                                                                Manihera is playing well too and scoring tries for fun.

                                                                        @Bovidae Do you think he will replace Sanders at the Chiefs?
