Two others that I've read elsewhere are Jerome Kaino (2005 Auckland & 2017 ABs) and John Smit (1997 Natal & 2009 Springboks).

EDIT: Shouldn't have gone and made that cup of tea before posting.....

Poite called a pretty harsh off-side on the Hurricanes early in the game and has promptly forgotten all about the off-side line since.

This is the worst NZ Commentary shift I've heard in a long time.

Agreed on the comms. Gotta say it though, these northern refs are like polar opposite to southern refs. Some might even say complete shite.

Hurricanes are paying for their some of their bad decisions and poor play. To be fair to the ref they have been ill disciplined. Quite a few of the forwards are quite outmatched.

I dunno. I think having Glen Jackson on your National Refereeing team basically deprives you of the right to complain about anyone else.

Yes, but to be fair to myself, I can't fucking stand Glen Jackson either. I bemoan all refs, vigorously but equitably.

He did play the better part of his career in the north too. Picked up some bad habits.

Didn't take me long to quote myself on this matter.

Can't.fucking.stand.Glen.Jackson.




Decent crowd.

WTF is Ayoub doing second-guessing Poite? If he's seen something untoward then fair enough but Poite having gotten down on all fours & signalling the try with no review asked for suggests to me that, yes, George, he IS sure of the grounding.

Lions are playing well, don't know which are realistically pushing for a spot on the weekend though. They'd have to be supermen to back up from Tuesday to Saturday.

Commentators bloody frothing over conversions, much cringe.

And Russell forgets he's playing Gatland Ball and looks for an offload rather than recycling or kicking

Picks up a yellow card for a high shot but should be have been carded for his woeful attempt to kick from the back of the ruck. So bad. Turned the match in the space of a minute.

Is this the go to idiocy in NZ? Does it make you Kiwi rugby fans proud?

What an incredible way for the Kiwis to make muppets of themselves.

For the record, Canes v Lions, I just swapped to being a Lions supporter at 53min in the game.

Give yourself an uppercut. Rags trying to sell papers is a pit unto themselves.

I'm an Aussie WB fan with WB skills issues. Somehow that uppercut just misses the target. Knuckles are sore though where they hit the wall behind, thanks for that.

Go LIONS!!
