    I have to say Rory is a right scamp for side entry on the clearout!

    Am not for banning it. Am all for letting their opponents do something similar. (A few minutes of Riverdance buck leppin' about the place anyone? :P ) In the interests of fairness. However, World Rugby are far too in awe of the All Black mystique to ever let that happen.

    The haka is an attempt to intimidate the other team, it is entirely reasonable to respond.

    Booing penalties is a totally different matter.

    O'Mahony taking on a lot of ball. Don't think Best has missed a breakdown yet.

    Looked like it. There has already been some very borderline stuff on behalf of New Zealand that Barnes has not pinged which is disappointing.

    Don't see how both sides aren't going to be gassed at 30 minutes. This is INSANE.

    Surprising seeing Barnes is ref, but I'm sure he'll revert to type before long.

    This. No need to ban it but it's the most blatant gamesmanship permitted in any sport.

    A spot of Riverdance or (insert appropriate cultural item) should be permitted in retort.
