Highlanders v Crusaders

Paradoxically I warmed more to my team in that scoreboard hiding game. Went into this one with that same forlorn hope you'd have when the blackcaps would play Australia in a onedayer 15 years ago. Not expecting a win at all.

Blues v Highlanders

I loved this game. A true hard fought Kiwi derby. The wonderful moments silence for the fallen Constable Hunt, with helicopter above. The emotion of Caleb Clarke who had in recent hours lost his grandfather, then being able to honour him with his try.

Chiefs v Blues

Forwards are very, very impressive. Patrick is playing the rugby of his career, I love that he’s even more effective late in games. The nutrition tweak has helped him enormously. Sotutu seems like a no brainer to try at eight for the All Blacks.

Blues vs Hurricanes

Important for us to win with such a big crowd as a loss would have been soul destroying for the franchise as a whole. We weren't at our best but we got better as the game went on I thought.

Team of the Week - Round One

Four teams and for me the team of the round would be dominated by the Blues. Their forwards set a magnificent platform and were punishing in defence.
