The poms wont half be confident after that free flowing, try laden effort against the Boks. Hell, playing at HQ (

) must be about the most intimidating ground for any visiting team not withstanding their behemoth pack and expansive backs. Poms by a mile.

All Blacks are reffed harsher than others. Last year they conceded less total penalties then their opposition but were shown more cards. Hideous inconsistency but they just get on with playing Rugby. That's probably one of the reasons they're the best team in the world. No excuses despite the lopsi...

Ali's Choice wrote:The defining contest in this match will be Mo'unga vs McKenzie. This should be a trial for the Al Black no.22 jersey.

Mounga has no versatility outside of first five so why would the selectors put him on the bench? Duh. Stick to watching rugby in Q'land, Frodo.

He turned down a cap, and captains the jewel of New Zealand’s super rugby franchises. Shields play for the Crusaders? ;) Shields was called up to the squad as an injury replacement but his baby was being born at the time. Likely wouldn't have been capped even if he was available. I don't know why y...

The Lions have been weighed.

They have been measured.

They have been found SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY wanting!

Now go back to your 6N and keep telling yourselves how awesome you are. Pfft!

Great to see an early season All Black team play the sort of rugby the rest of the world can only dream about particularly compared to the dross the Lions have shown. Now on to next week.

All Blacks in a blackwash.

Good luck to the ever entertaining Chiefs and to LM6, 150 games for the Tribe is awesome. #ChiefsMana

Stuff the poms! As Floyd Mayweather likes to say, 'we're the A side' the poms are the 'b side'. So Tew should should tell the poms to rack off and wait your turn. If they want a shot at the champs, get on your BA waka and get your proverbial candy a$$ down here and bring it.

Thanks for playing.

As expected, a good Chiefs win highlighted by superior tactics and nous. Next up, the Rebels and the rubbish they represent.

It's the same routine every time a top Kiwi players announces he's moving to Ireland. The Irish posters act cool, play it down, and say how much they don't need him. They'll then go on about how much better their own players are. Yet within days of stepping on Irish soil said player becomes one of ...

A good year. Now for the Lions scalp, again.

The Irish need to destroy NZ at the bdown, totally annihilate any intent to go wide, and break their spirit. Then, during the last quarter of the game, they need to be up there in fitness and so they need to smuggle some slick stuff in at HT. It needs to be elusive at testing, non-addictive and rid...

Sad to see our great rivals in the state that it is. All those concerned over there need to sit down and make philosophical changes in how they need to play the game. 10 man rugby is a fossil, although England persevere with it, but if anyone wants to beat the AB's then they better offer more than k...

Well done to the Boks. I only watched this game because the aussies have been spouting on about how they have turned the corner and that Quade Cooper has been reborn and will be their saving grace.

Does this loss mean the Wobblies are no longer the best team on the planet?

Chiefs Mana

Ah, right. How long before Free Market English Rugby will have to impose quotas to let the locals play among the foreign superstars? Fully qualified in an England shirt ? Don't really care much. But you cared so much at the top of this page. What went wrong? What I cared about the make up of a winn...

It is if you want us to play an extra game for the money. Your RFU knows we are a cash cow and wants to ride that gravy train. Good on the NZRFU for telling you to get f**k unless we get half the gate. The real question is if NZRU get half the gate, does it work out as profitable as playing SA or A...

Congrats to DMac for being named and hopefully he'll get some decent game time to show his stuff.

Ofa is a waste of space. I saw him get smashed at Eden Park when Waikato played them a few weeks back and despite him and Tuipolotu playing that day, the Auckland scrum got torn a new one.

Go Italy!

England. They still tier 1 after their World Cup capitulation?

Chiefs Mana

NZ have gone exactly one calendar year without shipping a loss or draw in, IIRC, the last decade. So the reality is that they will probably take a hit at some point fairly soon. What I'm hoping is that it happens right before the end of their season so the NZH and Stuff.NZ and all those other plum ...

The best plan atm is up the middle when you have possession. The kiwi soup teams and the ABs play a spread defence, so the pick and go or pick and offload are definitely the way to go ball in hand right now. Argies did it well for awhile but couldn't maintain it Outscoring them is probably the hard...

Chiefs Mana

Well done Wobblies, I'm guessing now the Randwick trolls and others will have us believe that the Wobblies are really the no#1 team because the AB's cheat?!

Go the Boks. 7 in a row sounds so much better than 6.
