Some very tough decisions ahead for the selectors to get it down to 31..

Proof that a stopped clock is right sometimes.

His name is spelt "Ma'a Nonu" but it can be pronounced as "Living Legend".

This is a guy who made his NPC debut in 2002 and his Super Rugby debut in 2003. In his distinguished international career he donned the famous Black Jersey for 104 Tests, contributing to two World Cup wins with tries in the 2011 Semi Final and the 2015 Final.

Tonight he set up Tom Robinson for the first try with a superb pass, he set up Caleb Clarke for the second with another superb pass and had the instincts honed by nearly two decades playing and training at an elite level to be in the right place to take the offloaded from Reiko Ioane to run in and score a try himself.

A great signing for the Blues. Their young players must be learning so much from playing with perhaps the greatest ever 12 to play the game.

New Zealand have won the Netball World Cup!!!!

Thinking about the great Martin Crowe and how much he would be enjoying this.

Classic Ted:

Great to see the improvement in Akira Ioane from a player with great promise to a player delivering week after week in Test Rugby. Looking like a world class Blindside Flanker.

Simple plan for Saturday, smash 'em again.

I'd rest anyone a bit poorly and bashed up after Eden Park. But go again with most of the same time. Great to have the likes of Samsoni, Akira, Paps, Fakatava, Goodhue and Jordan if we need them

And the Oscar for narcissism goes to:

Weird game. Great heart from Oz and outstanding leadership from Michael Hooper. Looks like this will be a tight series.

@mariner4life Seems a very good bloke too.

Ardie and Reiko were easy picks. Went for Scott Barrett for the third vote narrowly ahead of QT and Nugget.

Pleased we beat Ireland and beat them well. I dislike their moaning.

Ardie = my MoM

Ennor. Karl T.

Those two really shouldn't be in the AB squad.

Mixed bag from the ABs with lots of work ons.

Ireland turned up at the Eden Park fortress out of shape so they have only themselves to blame for this hiding.

Reiko have a huge game.
