I disagree some what. Handling was crap often, too many pushed passes, even defence was not 100%. Great game to watch but was not an 'amazing standard' in my eyes - Just exciting.

Stunning comeback by the Crusaders. A very entertaining game of rugby. The mistakes were there but they didn't bog the game down like it does to Aussie teams, both teams just went for it when they had the pill.

Good to have Kirwan in the booth so TJ couldnt make his rapid gibbon-like feces-flinging deposits into the massive, massive Anti-Blues sperm bank he carts along to every fucking game.

Stuck in a breathless and brainless 5th gear. Highlanders with 4 errors and THREE are by Fekitoa? Jesus, just drop him, he’s where movements go to die (except that offload to naholo for the try) then he gets himself a YC just as the Death Star is slingshotting around for its final orbit approach of ultimate and certain death? GTFO.

I'm not sure it could be replicated. Dunedin has a total population of ~125K of which ~20K are Uni of Otago students, plus there's the Polytechnic (NZ equivalent of TAFE) and Teacher's and Nurse's training centres (I recall there being talk of merging those into the Polytechnic, not sure if that happened). It's a student town like no other.

Latest chatter is that this was an initial test-firing with another scheduled for BrisVegas next Saturday night prior to becoming fully operational at AMI on Saint Paddy's night :)
