    I love Whitelock's try. A lock shouldn't be able to do that. Lawes is possibly the only lock in the northern hemisphere that I could see having that combination of pace and power. Henderson has the skills and power but doubt he's as quick as that with ball in hand. 60m and at least 3 broken tackles.

    Some of the off loading is just phenomenal!

    I'm really gonna miss my early Saturday morning rugby. I know the Rugby Championship is coming along but it's diluted due to the WC. On a good day, you could watch a one match after the other from 06:30 in the morning until late in the evening!!

    Happy with the first ten. Some amount of intensity out there and the crowd noise is something else.

    Both teams being very erratic with the ball. First team to settle should win this. Canes playing a million miles an hour tho.

    Canes are really reluctant to kick from their 22. Making for helter skelter stuff.

    Quick taps, offloading, everyone stepping in at scrum half to keep it moving. And very little competing at rucks...frantic is right.

    Brutal from assistant referee; he was standing right next to him, unobstructed.

    In fairness he came in very quickly. Looked out 5m when the ball was released.
