I'm intrigued as to how Rene Ranger will go in Chch. Still one hell of a talent. 'Canes have got the pack to compete, and some skills in the backline; they just need to gel together.

Can't wait! Just four weeks to go now

They seems to be his style, high arcing kicks. It was very blustery at pitch level, but JB should be used to the idiosyncrasies of the Cake Tin by now. The wind saved us a humiliating defeat when Hodge hit the post.

I bumped into Eroni Clarke and his wife on the concourse on the way in Said to them: "You must be so proud!" They were beaming, taking it all in. "Enjoy the day" I wished them. Caleb made an immediate impact when he came on, real zip and penetration down the wing. Still amazed we drew...

+1 Harry Wilson - he was everywhere, hell of a game. ABs looked a little lacklustre, Wallabies took time to find their shape too, but once they both got into their stride it was a very even contest. I was sat three rows back on the halfway line, and the rain evened it come, coming late in the...

See, I had a sneaking suspicion that might happen

Lachlan Boshier would like a word

Reckon you're on to something with regards to the highball; the wind is blowing pretty strong there today and the way the Cake Tin is it'll swirl about so controlling the highball is going to be vitally important this afternoon.

If Reece and Jordan have played better, why aren't they in the match 22? I think it comes back that 'get your best players on the park'. Jordie is in better form, and although 14 isn't his usual, he's clearly preferred there over them. One thing's for sure, Fozzie believes this is his current...

I think Fozzie's gone with the 'get your best players on the park' philosophy. I don't see an issue with putting JB on the wing, he's adaptable. Interested to see how Caleb Clarke and Tupou Vaa'i go. Unleash the young guns on 60'! So non-one giving the Wallabies a hope in hell? O'Connor's been...

The teams are out, who's your money on? Kiwi bookies have the ABs by 17, but I hope it'll be closer than that. All Blacks: Beauden Barrett, Jordie Barrett, Rieko Ioane, Jack Goodhue, George Bridge, Richie Mo'unga, Aaron Smith; Ardie Savea, Sam Cane, Shannon Frizell, Samuel Whitelock, Patrick...

Three cracking games to open the Tournament, high quality rugby. It's shaping up to be an awesome springtime of rugby. As usual, Canterbury looking like the 90's Man Utd of rugby, crushing the opposition in the last 20mins of the match.

Yeah, not the greatest game but entertaining - plenty of drama.

...RIP The Western Force ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm one from two so far

I would have predicted a similar home win in the first match, but the 'Canes were well off their game. Waratahs to lose to the Sunwolves at home Blues to narrowly beat the Stormers Reds beaten by the Rebels easily Sharks over the hapless Bulls Jaguares to beat the jetlagged Chiefs at home
