A few thoughts on last night's test match-  Beauden Barrett was just utterly terrific. That game changed when he came on, he sparked the All Blacks, he got them on the front foot, he set up Mark Telea's second try and pulled off a huge defensive play at the end. I saw a great tweet last night -"Is there a minimum number of minutes someone has to play to get Man of the Match? Asking for a Beauden" Look, Stephen Perofeta's had a good couple of outings, he hasn't done anything wrong, but he's not Beauden Barrett. Beauden will start the Rugby Championship at 15, nothing surer. The conundrum Scott Robertson will now face is what he does when Will Jordan's fit - a nice problem to have. Cortez Ratima had a good debut, he provided zip and zing off the bench. I reckon he's earned the right to start against Fiji next weekend. I also thought Fletcher Newell also made a big difference when he came on. The end to the game was a bit controversial, but correctly officiated. England were mauling from the lineout, the maul was successfully defended. Ollie Lawrence and Jamie George broke off that maul, but Lawrence was in front of George, who had the ball - and was therefore offside as the All Blacks tried to make a tackle He was obstructing the All Blacks. You can't create a new maul with a player in front of the ball carrier, it was the correct call. In any case, Jamie George didn't get the ball down, he was held up by Beauden Barrett What England were saying is that because there was still time to play, it should have been a line dropout, which would have given them the ball back. There are a few issues to address for the All Blacks. The lineout was shambolic in the first half, across the game, they lost 7 of their own throws through steals or pressure, it was a huge work-on for the All Blacks. Yes, Maro Itoje is a formidable opponent at lineout time - and had another brilliant game - but he's just one man in the lineout. The All Blacks can't let themselves become a team that's known for being vulnerable at lineout time. The kicking, in particular the box kicking - I don't mind it as a tactic, it's part of the game but it wasn't done effectively last night. There was often no energy in our chase and the kicks were a bit too long as well which didn't allow them to be contested. Basically, we're just giving the ball back. By contrast, all of England's box kicks were contested. England are a very good rugby team, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. Maro Itoje is world class, Marcus Smith could well become that, Steve Borthwick seems like a genuinely good bloke and an excellent coach. And if we're honest with ourselves, England had the chance to win both of these test matches. Instead, the All Blacks escaped - and I think that's the right word - with two victories.

One of the stars of yesterday's game would have to be young Leicester Fainga'anuku. Through a twist of fate and poor judgement by Mark Telea, who was dropped for breaching team rules, 24 year old Fainga'anuku made his World Cup debut and scored the team's first try. There's rugby in his blood, with his Dad, Ta'u, playing for Tonga in the Rugby World Cup in 1999.

'Zombified', 'dazed and confused', 'rattled'. That's how media around the world are describing the All Blacks' performance at Saturday's World Cup opener. The Kiwis scored first at the start of both halves, thanks to winger Mark Telea, and were only down one point at half-time, but crumbled in the second half. First five-eight Richie Mo'unga managed to pick up a penalty, but it wasn't enough to overcome the French who won the game 27-13. RNZ Rugby reporter Joe Porter spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The 36-man Rugby Championship squad has been named, All Blacks Coach Ian Foster deciding to bring six new faces into the fold.

The All Blacks have named their strongest side for the final test of the season against England, signalling Jordie Barrett will have the inside running at No 12 for next year's World Cup. Looking to end an inconsistent 2022 with an unbeaten northern tour, selectors Ian Foster, Joe Schmidt and Jason Ryan have reverted largely to the team who thumped Wales a fortnight ago. The sees Barrett move back into the midfield alongside Rieko Ioane, leaving David Havili and Anton Lienert-Brown to provide cover from the bench. Barrett has excelled at second five-eighth in limited opportunities while wearing the black jersey and another strong performance at Twickenham will give him a good chance of making the position his own. Beauden Barrett will again start at fullback, with Richie Mo'unga remaining at No 10, while Scott Barrett will shift into the blindside flanker role he occupied when England knocked out the All Blacks in the semifinals of the 2019 World Cup. He started at lock against Scotland, but Brodie Retallick has returned to the team after serving the suspension he incurred for his red card in the tour opener against Japan. This will mark Retallick's 100 All Blacks test, becoming the 12th man to reach the milestone and the second lock forward, alongside captain and locking partner Sam Whitelock. Retallick and Whitelock will also create another piece of history, setting a new world record of 64 test starts together. The previous mark was held by South Africa's Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield. Playing in his 11th international season, Retallick will share the special occasion with family who have travelled from New Zealand to celebrate. “The All Blacks congratulate Brodie and his family on what is an extremely proud moment for them,” said Foster. “He has had a massive contribution to the legacy of this team over the last decade, during which he has inspired many.” After impressing on debut against Scotland last week, winger Mark Telea has been retained, while 79-test veteran TJ Perenara will again provide halfback cover from the bench. “We feel the squad has been building nicely throughout this tour,” Foster added. “Playing England is something we don't get to do often so we are excited for the challenge. “This is an opportunity to continue our growth as a team at one of the great venues in world rugby – Twickenham.” All Blacks team to play England: Ethan de Groot, 2.

You all know Mark Telea as one of the most dangerous wingers in rugby. He has the footwork, fend, D and work rate to be one of the greats. There is no doubt he'll be playing internationally at some point soon, for who is the question?  However, what you won't know much about is Mark Telea the lad. With his Samoan Mum and South African Dad the man they call Mamba has great genetics for rugby. What really stood out for me in this episode was his mindset, the belief in his own ability, the ability to overcome setbacks and willingness to share what he can to help others. I really enjoyed this one, Mamba is funny, inspiring and a seriously good lad.

Blues 31Force 21For the first time since 2003, the Blues will contest a Super Rugby final, and after their strong trans-Tasman campaign, they have earned the right to host it.The Blues have ensured they finish the regular season at the top of the table, beating the Western Force 31-21 in Auckland on Saturday.After the Highlanders and Crusaders both won earlier in the weekend, the equation was simple for the Blues. As long as they won, they would be hosting the final as, even without the bonus point that would separate them from their rivals, their points differential would be superior with a win.It wasn't their best performance of the season, all but three of their points coming in the first half, but it was enough to get the job done."40 minutes is never good enough," Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu said after the match. "You're always striving for the perfect 80, or 80 plus."It was a hard-fought game and you've got to be happy with the result that we get a home final, so we're looking forward to that."We'd love to have a full Eden Park for a final that we haven't had for a while. I know a lot of us are striving for success here, and this is a step in the right direction."The Blues took some time to find their way in the match. Both sides needed a feeling out period, with neither able to control the possession for long periods in the early exchanges.It took a barnstorming run from Hoskins Sotutu to bring life to the Blues, with the No 8 making a strong charge to find clear space, before sprinting away from the chasing defenders to score the game's opening try.It was the only opportunity to Blues took inside the opening 25 minutes, and it seemed as though the Auckland faithful would be in for a rather nervous watch.However, a 28th minute try to winger Mark Telea seemed to spark the Blues. They ran in two more tries before the end of the half through Sotutu and flanker Dalton Papalii to lead 28-0 at the break.While it was an impressive period, it wasn't without issue as flanker Tom Robinson was forced from the field due to a head knock. He failed to pass his head injury assessment and was forced out for the rest of the match.From the way the first half ended, it seemed the Blues were well poised to go on with the job. Instead, it was the Force who were firing on all cylinders in the second half.Scoring tries through hooker Feleti Kaitu'u, midfielder Tevita Kuridrani and fullback Rob Kearney, the Force outscored the Blues 21-3 in the second period.The Blues did look to have another try through Telea late in the piece, but instead it was ruled out due to foul play in the build-up, and reserve hooker Ray Niuia was sent to the sin bin.With the 10-point win, the Blues finish the season on equal points with the Highlanders and Crusaders, but end the campaign at the top of the table due to their superior points differential.The Blues will now host the Highlanders in the final next weekend, with the Highlanders having a better points differential than the Crusaders.Blues 31 (Hoskins Sotutu 2, Mark Telea, Dalton Papalii tries; Otere Black 4 cons, pen)Force 21 (Feleti Kaitu'u, Tevita Kuridrani, Rob Kearney tries; Ian Prior 3 cons)HT: 28-0text by Christopher Reive, NZ Herald

Hurricanes prop Tyrel Lomax could only watch from the sidelines as his side disintegrated against the Blues.Lomax was sent from the park in the 47th minute of the 24-15 loss to the Blues in Wellington tonight after flooring Blues centre Rieko Ioane with a shoulder charge that connected with Ioane's head.Lomax, a new recruit for the Hurricanes this season, was going in to make a supporting hit as Ioane was brought down by fellow prop Xavier Numia. However, the execution was poor as Lomax made no attempt to wrap his right arm around Ioane, and he could have no complaints about the colour of the card shown by referee Mike Fraser.He wasn't the only Hurricanes player to be sent from the field, with Vaea Fifita and Jordie Barrett both shown yellow cards – leaving the Hurricanes down to 12 men at one point late in the second half.It made what was already an intriguing match-up more interesting, after the Hurricanes' inability to turn their early dominance into points became a reason for them to sweat down the stretch.Hurricanes Tyrel Lomax is shown a red card. Photo / PhotosportHaving won their last nine games against the Blues, it looked like they were well poised to make it 10. Just two minutes into the contest, Ngani Laumape put winger Ben Lam away in the corner with an offload over the top of the defence to give the hosts an early 5-0 lead.The Hurricanes had almost 90 per cent of the possession in the opening 20 minutes, and despite playing the majority of that time in Blues territory, they couldn't make it count on the scoreboard.After having to defend for the best part of the opening 35 minutes, the Blues found their way through the Hurricanes line through Ioane, who put winger Mark Telea away into space to get deep inside Hurricanes territory. Akira Ioane crashed over soon after, with Otere Black's conversion giving the Blues a surprising lead.That lasted just two minutes, as Barrett kicked a penalty goal to give the Hurricanes a one-point lead at the break.Losing Lomax seven minutes into the half put the Hurricanes under pressure early in the second half, and the Blues took advantage. Telea crossed in the 56th minute and after Black's conversion put them 14-8 up, it seemed like the Blues would kick on with the job.Instead, it was the Hurricanes who scored next, with Kobus van Wyk scoring out wide after a scrum in which fellow winger Lam packed down at flanker.From there, it was all downhill for the hosts. Fifita was shown a yellow card for a no-arms tackle with 12 minutes to go, and was followed to the bin by Barrett six minutes later when he was deemed to have deliberately knocked the ball down.Both bookings resulted in points, with Black kicking a penalty after Fifita's infringement and the referee awarding a penalty try for Barrett's transgression.The latter was the final scoring play of the match, with the Blues claiming their first away win over another Kiwi team in their last 26 attempts.ELSWHERE: The Chiefs hammered the Waratahs in their Super Rugby match in Wollongong.The Waikato side have scored seven tries to one, six of which came in the second half, for a 51-14 victory.The Chiefs now sit top of the New Zealand conference.Meanwhile, the Crusaders managed a scrappy 24-20 win over the Reds in their Super Rugby match in Christchurch.The hosts struggled to limit their errors coming off a bye week.The boot of first-five Richie Mo'unga proved crucial with three conversions and a penalty, while the Reds failed to convert all four of their scores.And it was bad news for the Highlanders after the Bulls produced a stellar second half to beat themin Pretoria.After trailing the visitors 10-5 at halftime, the Bulls scored five second half tries to thrash the southerners 38-13.The Highlanders have now lost four games and sit bottom of the New Zealand conference.

The Blues have grabbed victory at the death.First-five Otere Black has kicked an 81st minute penalty to give the Blues a 23-21 win over the Bulls in Pretoria.Just minutes earlier it appeared Auckland side was set for heartbreak after the Bulls scored to take the lead with six minutes remaining.Stephen Perofeta, Mark Telea and Tom Robinson all crossed for tries.The Chiefs, meanwhile, crashed back down to earth.A home crowd was no advantage as they suffered a 26-14 loss to the Brumbies in Hamilton, in what's their first defeat in the 2020 Super Rugby season.Matters made worse with more injury woes for All Black Luke Jacobson.He managed just 11 minutes in his return from ongoing concussion issues after pulling his hamstring.It's the first time the Brumbies have won in Hamilton since 2007.And it was a convincing win for the Crusaders in Christchurch.The hosts beat the Highlanders 33-13 in their Super Rugby clash at AMI Stadium.David Havili was last to score a try for the Crusaders in the 74th minute with Mitchell Drummond making the conversion.The Hurricanes had a bye weekend.   

The Chiefs have continued their resurgence under Warren Gatland's leadership with a win of three-time winners the Crusaders. Another impressive second-half performance from Gatland's Chiefs saw them turn around a halftime deficit, and beat the defending champions 25-15.While the scoreline didn't necessarily reflect it, this was a dominant showing for the Chiefs. Early lapses might have cost them, but for the best part of 60 minutes, the Chiefs overpowered the Crusaders across the park.However, there were positives for the Crusaders, with their attack showing promising signs early despite the absence of their general Richie Mo'unga.The Blues also notched a win over the Waratahs, their first of the season. After a stilted first half where there was a lot of nervous and error-ridden rugby from both teams, the Blues took control in the second half when they had a stiff breeze behind their back.They started the second period with two decisive tries that were both built on their ability to remain patient and wait for the right opportunity to strike at the heart of the Waratahs' defence.The first came when TJ Faiane delayed his pass for midfield partner Joe Marchant who hit the line at top speed and at a great angle.The second by Mark Telea, a few minutes later, was created by an incredible grubber kick from Hoskins Sotutu.The Hurricanes secured their first win of the season in Argentina.Well contained for 70 minutes, it took just two passages of play for the side to get back in the game and ultimately steal a 26-23 win over the Jaguares.After a dismal showing for against the Stormers a week ago, there were signs of improvement for the Hurricanes. Jordie Barrett was heavily involved in the play, often slotting in at first receiver, while Ngani Laumpae and Billy Proctor found some success in the middle.But for the most part, any attack the Hurricanes launched was well contained by the Jaguares, who bodied up well on defence and did plenty of good work at the breakdown to see off most threats. The Hurricanes attack was at most stagnant, side-to-side affair that was easily smothered and slowed down.It wasn't until front rower Alex Fidow crashed over in the 71st minute from close range after a scrum penalty that the Hurricanes looked like they could actually win the game, with some late heroics from Laumape, Vaea Fifita and Jamie Booth sealing an improbable victory.Meanwhile, the Highlanders have made a rough start to their Super Rugby campaign with a 42-20 loss to the Sharks in Dunedin.The Southerners conceded three tries in eight minutes to be down 27-3 at the break, before failing to mount a meaningful comeback.
