Jamie Wall was at Eden Park to witness The Blues’ victory over the British & Irish Lions. Check out what goes on tour in the following scenes.

During the match I was lucky enough to enjoy some of the best hospitality on offer nearby in Kingsland, Auckland. Take a rare glimpse inside the exclusive ‘F Bar’ below.

Tamaiti does give the Crusaders extra grunt up front not to decry the efforts of Bower who was well performed against the Blues. Both sides have several players who have the ability to break a game open. Intriguing to see who comes through. Could come down to the respective benches which has been a real strength for the Chiefs but the Crusaders have depth too.

Jordie Barrett hints at Leinster return after lifting his first club trophy

Big question is who else is gonna go North on Sabbatical who do u fans up North want ? Boys don’t get overplayed in these deals but when they do u know they going hard…if the money is right and the cash is good (but not ridiculous) anyone fancy an Ardie Savea? Jordie has been treated so well over there I hope some more of our other boys can go do the same and return the favor…as long as they come back in good Nick with a full tank of gas

Is it fair to say that Saders v Chiefs will have the 2 best quality teams collectively that have appeared in the seasons final game of any of the top competitions that have had their grand final…or is it just all about the same which I suggest it is at least that, these 2 teams especially are top drawer and at full noise can go with any team …I actually think the same of Blues Canes and Brumbies …Suoer Rugby quality of players is as good as anywhere

Can’t disagree with any of that. Perhaps Jordie/Billy take midfield & Reiko goes back to wing? A great problem for the Razor gang.

Clarke had some moments on weekend his value taking carries from ruck scrum to get over ad line in such a tight game was elite and translates really well to international game along with his kick chase plus has cash money in the bank from LY I got him at 11 Fihaki 14 Jordan 15 Emoni needs to be in squad either wing goes down u play him Jordan can’t play go Love not Beaudie keep him on bench

True. As this game is likely to be played in cold and damp dewy conditions the expansive game may not be the way to go. Note that the Crusaders scored the most points other than the Chiefs throughout the season so they can adapt to both styles anyway. This will be an absorbing and close game, maybe a battle of attrition like the Blues game.

Cory Jane signs off on Hurricanes' season with message for All Blacks selectors

Can’t argue, except with the anonymous part. I’m a massive canes fan but I struggle to see how he fits in to the ABs setup. Maybe off the bench. We need guys with a bit of x factor on the bench, was seriously lacking last year. I like Jacobson but I reckon he starts or doesn’t play. Gave us nothing off the pine last year.

Kind of seems like it’s only the crusaders sheer physicality and dogged defence that is winning them these games. Yet again made over 200 tackles and only 47% possession. Suspect they’ll need to he better than that on Saturday.

'Not a normal rugby team' - The Leinster flex that floored Jake White

Professional referees don't hold grudges against rugby teams, that's a very juvenile statement. Some refs are better than others, some may have different interpretations which don't suit Irish teams but they absolutely don't have bias against teams because they “hate” them. They're highly trained professionals at the top of their game and every performance is reviewed by a panel and statistically analysed.
