Start McKenzie at 10, Razor.

Tupou Vaa'i is having some game. A couple of lineout steals, some big carries, a nice offload in the lead-up to the All Blacks' first try and a linebreak assist. #FRAvNZL #AllBlacks

Just Cam Roigard stealing the 'best halfback in the world' gong from out of Antoine Dupont's outstretched mits. #AllBlacks #FRAvNZL

Strongly suspect Clayton McMillan will be the next #AllBlacks coach.

This is a *wild* group of players to select as the five best performers of the round.

Rivez Reihana, TK Howden and Braydon Ennor all firmly in the All Blacks picture after tonight's match. #CRUvHIG

Can see why many fans in the Northern Hemisphere don't feel a need for 20-minute red cards when shoulder/head on head aren't punished very severely as it is up here. Been at least three instances in the European finals that would've seen players sent off in the south.

Disappointing to see so many Moana Pasifika players departing - plenty of founding members too. Couple of massive signings coming in for next year though. Ardie won't be the only All Black.

After the Ngani Laumape announcement, another former All Black should be confirmed in the next few days. Ardie Savea definitely won't be with the team in 2026, however.

Looks like Barbarian FC have quietly been putting together one of their most impressive recent squads - half a dozen All Blacks, including some that many will believe should be wearing the silver fern against France. Springboks best watch out.

Emphatic start from Argentina. Massive confidence team - Lions need to stop the momentum early. #BILvARG

Brilliant try from Argentina to give them their highest ever points total against the Lions. #BILv

Massive final month from Rivez Reihana. Least experienced No 10 to ever lead a side to Super Rugby glory. Composed as anything. Might not make the #AllBlacks squad for France will be on the EOYT. #CRUvCHI

Hoskins COULD play 10 though.

Tupou Vaa'i will be back in the No 6 jersey this weekend for the first time since... the 2023 World Cup pool stages loss to France. Loose forward injuries causing a bit of havoc but you would think still enough fit specialists in the squad to avoid this situation. #AllBlacks

Timoci Tavatavanawai set to debut off this bench in Wellington this week. #AllBlacks

Not a massive shock but a Chiefs backline spine starting in Hamilton on Saturday evening - the first time that Quinn Tupaea and Anton Lienert-Brown have partnered up for NZ. #AllBlacks

Big signing coming in @CrusadersRugby territory. One of NZ's most promising up-and-coming talents is heading south.

Harry Potter has been good but Draco Malfoy's looked handy since joining the game. #ENGvAUS
