Another fantastic performance from The All Blacks, 4 tries (first NZ player to score 4 in a test v The Aussies) and 30pts for Beauden Barrett so far

Close game in the first half but the all blacks are unstoppable. They always step it up in the second half.

Argentina v South Africa tonight should be decent game.

They did and they didn't against us last season. We ran them very, very close at Murrayfield with a late surge.

They're an amazing side to watch though, no two ways about it.

I was at that game. Scotland were superb. If I remember they scored a try just after half time in that one.

Hoggy almost won it at the end. Just thinking if he had just about crossed the line to score that winner, it would have blown the roof off!

How much does it cost to go to a club game - say Heriots or Boroughmuir? Or do you have to be a member?

You don’t have to be a member but there will usually be a few on the gate. Not been for years but I’d guess between £5-8 for an adult.

The standard of club rugby’s not as good as it used to be - in the old days the international players would play for their club but now they’re contracted to Edinburgh or Glasgow from an early age.

I can't get worked up about Edinburgh and Glasgow somehow.

You've got to love the intensity of TRC, SA lead 31-17 in New Zealand after trailing 12-0. Great game.

Another fantastic try from SA there. Not often the ABs concede 5 tries! Still fancy them though, they're usually so strong in the last 20.

I was half an hour into it this morning when somebody revealed the outcome on the punting thread, annoying! :-)

Another cracking match! NZ come back from 30-13 down in SA to win 32-30 thanks to a conversion 3 seconds after the hooter.
