7.45pm EAT kickoff I believe

I don't think that'll be the thinking. I suspect we're going to see the three potential 10's continue to rotate this year as they give them all more minutes. Truthfully I don't think any of them have played enough Rugby and definitely not at this level. They all need more time and we need three...

Do you have thoughts on why Razor has gone this route? Is there some balance of experience and age that he's going for? I can't say I personally understood the Sotutu one, but maybe there are things we don't see.

Who would you have swapped out if you'd been on the seleciton panel?

Agree, re: the game plan, attacking structures. I think you could accept the personnel changes and selections if it was clear what they were working towards and that what you were seeing made sense should they execute, but like you, I'm just not sure that it does. Especially at test level. The...

Ok. I'm curious about the All-Black fans honest thoughts about this team. Some of these selections and who is dropped just seem a tad odd to me. Don't get me wrong, lots of individually great players in this team, but lots of playing out of preferred, usual position, players who arguably weren't...

Sure. If you have the right setup and/or TV If you have a suitable browser on your TV you can use that.. ...or a laptop/phone that can stream to your screen with Apple Airplay or Google Cast something similar, or go old school and plug it in with HDMI or such.

Agree. We needed things to go our way to clinch that one. Does anyone know what the TMO protocols are in sevens? is it the same as for the XV? when should they inject themselves? surely in the lead up to a try they review? I've been watching some of the Volleyball and really like the challenge...

They don't win this tournament and the gold without him. It's as simple as that.

Agreed. I think the nature of that loss to Fiji and the card against RSA will make them feel like they didn't show their best. In the Bronze game, before Malouf was shown the red card, I swear the RSA pass over Tuners head was well forward (at ~12:40mins on the replay) before RSA score their...

I'm not sure I would have ever picked this mix of teams to be the final four remaining. It's been a really interesting outcome. To my mind the mental pressure of the occassion seemed to be getting to a few outfits. The NZ team for example have skills for days but they just looked to push and...

Really enjoyed this game. What a great initiative and fantastic opportunity for the Reds boys to get some more experience, especially in wet conditions which historically Aus sides have seemed to struggle in. I was rather impressed by the ball handling skills overall by the Reds players even...

Please don't tell me he's off to The Force also? Feels like Cron's pulling in all his old charges.

That's a shame. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) always struck me a the kind of guy you'd like to have around in a squad. Any word on specifically where he's off to? Adding his name to the list and you really have a genuine turnover of all the old guard happening.

Disagree. His only real mistake was that flick back in and tbf that wasn't great kick from Pollard, Lowe had every chance to getting that back if Kolbe hadn't been flying like a bullet. Agree. There were a lot of stoppages. Besides serious injuries, what happened to game on. Disagree on TMO...

Good game. Could have really gone either way. Some pretty close calls and swings.

Curious on Lowe's taken back call when in goal as he was able to get a (charged down) kick away.

Ok.. the Kolbe try was crazy. (though I suspect that Lowe might have been in touch there)

Ok, that Sheehan pass was special, not to mention how Lowe stayed in and got a pass away.
